About the host

Hosted by Jimmy & Jennifer Melton

Host profile image
We are almost empty nesters. We love the mountains so much that our children both attended Universities nearby. Summer and fall are our favorite times to be in Franklin. The temperature in the summer averages 20 degrees cooler than our home town. We love to grill and enjoy several restaurants nearby. Lucio's, Cafe Rel, and Root and Barrel are our favorites! We started playing disc golf in town at their new course recently. We've made several updates to the floors, bathroom, and upholstery. we look forward to sharing our getaway with you!

Why they chose this property

Franklin is a great place. Activities throughout the year make every visit enjoyable and exciting. We honeymooned in nearby Cashiers NC and have returned to this area every possible opportunity.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy just taking time to relax and unwind. We also love gem mining. Nothing beats the feeling of discovering a 'Honker'. Picking on the square is another of our favorites. Picking is every Saturday evening April thru October. We love the village of Highlands. Our favorite time to visit is Sunday afternoon. Most of the weekend warriors have left for home and it is peaceful and much less crowded.
