About this property

Custom built log home with beautiful interior wooden walls. Spectacular view of the mountains !! Comfortable setting with large front porch set with rocking chairs! Breathtaking sunsets galore!!

If you want a private cabin away from the crowd then this is it!! This cabin is tucked up in the Majestic Cowee Mountain Range with a stunning view of the Nantahala Mountains and you are completely surrounded by the Smokey mountains! This cabin is new, trimmed out with seven different species of wood. Custom built cabin especially for a mountain rental! It has two bedrooms with queen beds and a full bathroom downstairs, and with two full beds and a half bath upstairs in the loft. Custom kitchen with cypress cabinets. Most of the furniture and beds are handmade! Franklin is just 5 miles away. Endless miles of hiking, waterfalls, river rafting, and gem mining are minutes away. We even have "pickin on the square" every Saturday night in Downtown Franklin starting in May. This cabin is convenient to Dillard, Ga where there is a new business, Julep Farms, which has shopping, dining, and flowers to pick during the summer! There are a variety of animals to see that the kids will love! We are also very close to Clayton, Ga. This little town has wonderful shopping as well as farm to table restaurants. It’s a great place to spend a day!! The road leading to Highlands, NC is not too far either!! There are waterfalls and hiking trails off this road that are gorgeous!! We invite you to our cabin and hope you will enjoy your visit!! ( No motorcycles please)

Beautiful accommodations and view

From the moment we stepped out of the car we were impressed with the gorgeous views, cleanliness and comfort of the cabin and amenities. Very relaxing family vacation, spacious for our family of four, fire pit was an added bonus. Great place to rest and reboot.

I have been coming to this property with my family for years. The cabin is always great, the views are fantastic, the set up and amenities are perfect, and the property owners are super helpful. I cannot recommend this more highly for a wonderful mountain retreat.

In the clouds

We loved our experience on Top of Ol’ Smokey! The cabin was clean, well appointed and we loved all of the real hardwood floors, walls and finishes. The view outstanding and well worth the windey (but safe) drive up the mountain!

A really lovely cabin on a mountain

The pictures and description are accurate - this lovely cabin was one of the cleanest properties we have rented through VRBO. When we weren't looking at the mountain and sky views, we were admiring the craftmanship of the cabin and the nice decorating. The very nice owners, Matt and Angela, do an exceptional job in communicating before, during and after the visit. We look forward to returning!

Would definitely stay here again!

We've stayed here before in 2018, and we enjoyed it very much. Had the opportunity to stay here again last week, and it was as fantastic as we remembered. The driveway is steep, but the view is so worth it! The hosts are very helpful and the cabin is very well kept with the appliances in great shape. The location could not be better if you're looking for a quiet private cabin, but you still need to be close to Walmart. We would absolutely recommend this property to others, and we'd definitely stay here again given the chance!

Gorgeous view. Love the porch! Very clean cabin. Drive up the mountain is fun. Comfy beds. Well supplied kitchen. Easy drive to Franklin. Lighting a little dark for shower & kitchen but manageable. Wood stove so nice on a cold night. Would choose this cabin again!
