Overdue visit to the mountains!

We had the perfect stay! The cabin was quaint and cozy! The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable of the of the attractions in the area. We enjoyed hiking some of the nearby waterfalls and trails. We even saw an Elk! We want to come back soon to see more of the 104 waterfalls!

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

This great little cabin was the perfect place to just relax and chill for a few days. We were there for 4 nights and completely enjoyed our stay. It was quite, but yet close to restaurants and grocery stores. The host was extremely friendly and considerate. We will definitely return there again.

Fun and Cozy

Had a great time in the mountains with excellent weather. Me and my fiancee stayed for our honeymoon and had a great time exploring the area. The highlands was a fun visit and seeing the main street of Franklin was the best. We definitley recommended staying here!

Nice getaway with friends

I lived in Franklin for 25 years and returned to meet-up with some old friends. The cabin was great -- nice and quiet location, good internet and TV, well equipped and comfortable. Owners are on-site and very nice. Checked-in only to make sure we didn't need anything (and we didn't since the cabin is A+). I will definitely stay here again for my next trip!

Definitely what the doctor ordered!!

Quiet peaceful and everything you need for your stay. The kitchen was perfect for making our biscuits and gravy. The hosts were very polite curious and friendly. Anything you may need they will do their best to accommodate your stay. Windows open and the fresh mountain air is all you will need for this stay!!

A Great Place to Stay

We spent 3 great nights in this cute and cozy cabin. The cabin was clean and inviting. The hosts were friendly and very nice. This cabin had everything you could possibly need. The only inconvenience was the somewhat spotty internet. But hey you don't go to the mountains for the internet. I would definitely stay here again.

Exactly as described!

A great find for the area. Exactly what we expected and more. Very clean had everything we needed from dishes, utensils, glasses, towels, and more. Quiet at night and a gas stove to keep you warm. Surrounding area has many great trails and we stumbled across a brewery on a walk on the river trail. Will stay again when we travel back to area.

Anniversary Trip

This cabin was a welcome respite from every day life. It was fully stocked - all you need to bring is your clothes and food. The owners provided some goodies and they live on site. They afforded you privacy but were only a few steps away if you needed anything. They were helpful in providing their knowledge of the local area and even investigated if some of the things that we wanted to experience were going to be happening during our stay. I would recommend this cabin to everyone.
