Awesome 1,100 square foot game room in the lower level. It is lavishly furnished with art-work caliber hand-crafted live edge pieces.

About the host
Hosted by Ricky Howe
We are Ricky and Debbie Howe from Tampa, FL. We have three amazing grown children and two beautiful grandchildren. We built our cabin with them in mind. We have large family functions and everyone has something to do. You can stay at the cabin for a week and never leave the property, or you can venture out to the neighboring areas for unlimited day trips. Franklin is surrounded by world class waterfalls, hiking, biking, brewery's, distilleries, shopping and dining. The cabin has everything you need. Our guiding principle was that we never wanted to live in a rental house; we wanted to rent our home.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood consists of long range mountain views, rolling hills and mountain streams. Every season brings new color and amazing scenery. The Lodge a Beasley Mine has everything needed for an amazing vacation. The huge full log construction is rare and incredibly comfy. The lodge sits on 11 acres of adventure. Multiple fire pits, recreation deck, swings, tree tent, climbing wall, club house, Jacuzzi, zip line, caves, hammocks and waterfalls just to name a few. Sit back on the porch at night and watch the kids chase the fire flies. Our guests say that the Lodge at Beasley Mine is the most fun and memorable vacation they have ever had.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is only 11 miles from town, down a 2 lane country road that winds through the gorgeous river valley. Above the cabin is the Nantahala National Forest with old mica mines. One of the mines has a waterfall and a beautiful crystal clear pool. You can hike through the forest and even hunt during season. There is one year-round waterfall and two smaller seasonal waterfalls with creeks on the property and several trails. We start every morning with a cozy fire in the massive stone fireplace. There are two wrap around porches for watching the sunsets and the humming birds. The hot tub sits on Mount Jacuzzi over looking the beautiful mountain range. We have a fully equipped kitchen with everything need to prepare a beautiful meal for a large family. The Cabin is equipped with a whole house generator and instant hot water.
This is mountain living at its best.
