We are Lori and Chris Schubert. We have been in love with Franklin, NC for 20 years. We purchased this property when we first saw it and realized it's magic. We are from Northern Virginia and recently moved North Carolina full-time. We are avid dog rescue participants and understand how hard it is to vacation with pets. We hope you will feel at home and can pause and relax.
Why they chose this property
Romantic, secluded, peaceful. It doesn't get any more relaxing than this. As you wander around the creek and woods, you will lose your sense of time and just learn to breathe again. Great place to reunite and unplug.
