About this property

Romantic Mountain Top Cabin with Hot Tub, Wrap Around Porches, and Amazing Views

Wow! This is our New Family Home and we are excited to share it with you! Overlooking the Beautiful Iotla Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains this cabin home has exemplary accommodations and many extras.
Located just 6 miles from Franklin Center this beautiful cabin is perched on a mountain top with two wrap around covered porches complete with panoramic views on all sides. Rocking chairs, porch swings and picnic tables provide relaxing outdoor space for conversing, reading, relaxing and breathing in the clean mountain air.
The property is surrounded by farmland and a 20 acre horse farm. No sounds of traffic. Just the sounds of horses and cows mooing. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets lead to a sparkling sky full of stars. The city lights visible from the porches will take your breath away.
In 2015, my husband and I hiked 85 miles on the Appalachian and ended up in Franklin. We fell in love with the area and in 2017 we bought our 'dream come true' cabin.
Whether you are new to Franklin or if you discovered this amazing area years ago, your vacation is guaranteed to be incredible! White water rafting, hiking, fishing, zip lines, canoeing, and antiquing are just a few of the many activities right in your backyard. Just minutes from Downtown Franklin, visit numerous antique shops, amazing restaurants, pubs and festivals. Having fun and making memories is a sure thing! Cathedral ceiling in main floor living space, rock fireplace with wood burning stove and 50” Smart TV encourages laid back relaxation on our super comfy sofa. Ask Alexa to play your favorite music throughout the cabin!
Three levels include huge loft master king suite with private bath and walk-in closet, two additional queen bedrooms with accompanying bathrooms. First floor family room has queen sleeper. Main level and lower level family rooms have access to covered wrap around porches and amazing views. Half hour drive to local small towns like Sylva, Bryson City, Dillard and Cherokee Casino. Asheville is less than an hour drive!

Amenities include:
Free Wi-Fi, Satellite TV, FANTASTIC CELL PHONE SERVICE!
Wi-Fi Door locking system for self check-in and security.
Separate, private outdoor space with New Hot Tub, Fire Pit and Gas Grill.
Woodshed stocked with firewood for those cozy, cuddly winter nights.
Fifty-inch Smart TV’s in two living areas. Pine sided exterior with beautiful pine wood floors throughout, all new furniture, mattresses, fully stocked kitchen and new appliances.
Large laundry room with new washer/dryer.
Sparkling clean with high-end sheets, towels and bedding. All paper products and most necessities provided.
Mountain road/driveway is on top of mountain and is curvy and steep. (Welcome to the Smoky Mountains) Driveway is paved, however, we recommend four wheel drive or chains during snow months. Parking for four cars and additional parking space located at bottom of drive.

We know your vacation will be amazing and you’ll be back……again and again!!

4 day trip. Clean house. Everything we needed. Definitely will rent again since our daughter has 3 more years of college up there. Beds are super awesome Comfy. Kitchen is a bit small if you’re used to having 2-3 people in the kitchen at same time. Air was great and master bedroom even had a standup fan. Was great because we forgot ours. Solid house! Enjoy!

Love This Cabin

This is our second time staying and we love it! It is so peaceful and quiet, all you hear are the owls and woodpeckers. Plenty of room inside to spread out, and we definitely took advantage of all the board games. Can’t wait to stay again.

Canin in the trees

It was lovely here. The place is very quiet and isolated. The hot tub was great! Sitting at the top of a very steep hill, we felt liked we had climbed into a giant treehouse. The owner was super helpful.
