Property was beautiful and clean. Hot tub was great, fireplace was nice. Close to a great restaurant and several shops. The driveway was a little scary since I'm not used to mountain terrain but we made it! Owners are very responsive. Highly recommend!!

Great Cabin, Great People

We rented this cabin to house part of our family who were coming to Franklin for a larger gathering. The layout worked well, giving everyone their own space while also providing a common area where we could enjoy time together. The owners were easy to contact and quick to respond to any questions.

Perfect Birthday Weekend Away

Came up for the weekend to take my kiddo tubing and on the Polar Express for his birthday. The cabin was beautiful and in a perfect location. It’s a peaceful place away from the noise. The driveway is a little steep but luckily we brought our truck, so had no problems. Definitely would come back and stay again in the future.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I stayed for a weekend and LOVED it. We are already planning to return. The cabin is beautiful and the floor plan is perfect for families or couples with friends. The cabin is 3 levels and has a bedroom and bathroom on each level. The gas fireplace and hot tub were big bonuses, as well as the large front porch. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

A convenient weekend stayover in Paradise, the mountains of North Carolina

I worked for two weeks in the area and over the weekend took a VRBO and had my son and family join me. We had a three day blast. It was so much fun. The Cabin was fabulous and the hosts were unobtrusive and very kind and helpful via phone and text. We will stay there again in a heartbeat.

Awesome cabin!

Had a great stay, the cabin is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. The only concern was the steepness of the driveway. Several reviews said taking a motorcycle up was not a problem, however, would not recommend it. The communications with the owner was excellent. Would stay again just not with the bikes.

Great location and lots to see in the area, great for bikers.

Five Star home in a super quiet location. The home is set up great and would be ideal for three couples. Not far from restaurants and grocery stores. Nice and quiet location with a great deck....I would stay at this property again. We came on motorcycles and had not problems with the incline of the driveway.

Outstanding cabin home & close to everything!

Beautiful and clean cabin- looking forward to our return visit. The only downside is the steep driveway especially after a rain... but it’s a cabin in the mountains after all! Bring extra trash bags, paper towels & coffee if you have an extended stay. Kids loved chasing the lightening bugs every night!

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept, 2023
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that y’all enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you back. I apologize for the first short section of our driveway, as it was not paved due to utility work for our neighbor who owns that property. The good news is that as soon as the season slows down, it will be getting paved! As for the supplies, we do only provide a starter supply, but can definitely increase the amount we provide. We look forward to making all of these improvements, ideally before your next visit. We take great pride in offering a clean and enjoyable place to stay. See you again soon!

Fantastic

Guys golf trip! Sky Valley was 20 minutes to the south. Sequoyah National was 35 minutes to the north. Could not ask for a more centrally located place to stay that is quiet….just a minute off the main road, and had all the amenities we needed! Thank you!

Guys motorcycle trip

A last minute opportunity came for a short getaway to ride in the mountains. Our group chose to stay in the mountains of Georgia and do day rides into the Carolinas and Tennessee. I found this mountain cabin on VRBO, and after verifying with the owner that it was motorcycle accessible I was able to secure it for our stay. The accommodations were perfect for our group. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Mountain Home

Everything about this property is fabulous! It's located centrally for access to so many different activities and still offers a great deal of privacy for a full mountain getaway experience. The owners had all three levels decorated for Christmas and it was absolutely gorgeous. They obviously take great pride in this home and it shows. You will not regret making it your choice for your next vacation in North Carolina. We would not hesistate to book here again.

Great Cabin!

We enjoyed the cabin! My only complaint is that we had to call to get the access code. It never updated in the VRBO system. I did eventually receive an email from the owner with the access code, but that was the day after we checked in. I'm not sure if that was a system error or what. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This home was built as our primary residence, but circumstances have caused us to move away temporarily. We built this home ourselves and decorated it for us to live in. With that being said, this home has many personal touches of a resident of WNC that was born and raised just down the road from the cabin. We are excited to share the beauty of Franklin, NC with our guests and assist you in any way to make this a memorable stay.

What makes this property unique

Our property is in a quiet location, close to town and many attractions. We have a large hot tub and a surround sound system. The community down the mountain from our home is a peaceful area that is enjoyable to roam.
