Such a gorgeous setting! This place was a dream! We appreciate how dog-friendly it was. The small fenced area behind the house, enclosed deck, and doggie bag station really made traveling with our 2 small dogs easier. The cabin was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed.
We absolutely loves this home and property! The dog friendliness of the property was one thing we absolutely loved! The gated wrap around second floor porch leads to a fenced in area at the back which makes letting the dogs be "free" so much easier than having to take them downstairs all of the time. The property and house are clean, the drive was easy peasy, and the response from the owners/manager was very quick any time I had a question. 10/10 would recommend!
The most welcoming VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everyone in our party ( adults, teens, preteens, pets) LOVED it. Everything was of very good quality( comfy beds, kitchen utensils) and thought of (house stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials). Gorgeous and serene surroundings. Owners were very responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bhakti Manor Creekside Home. The host, Debra was very responsive from the initial reservation, on the lead-up to check in, and during our stay. The house was stocked well and fully served our needs. The property was very peaceful and private. The sound of the creek while relaxing on the porches was perfect. The proximity to Franklin was very convenient. We highly suggest staying!!
The stream really set the mood for relaxation. It's very private with no other homes visible and the layout is wonderful for a family. Porches are made for just chilling and the stream is perfect for kids along with the campfire circle beside the stream The owner was very accommodating and a pleasure to talk to. We highly recommend this home
My husband and I brought our three kids here under the age of ten. The pictures just canât capture the magic of this place, the creek is absolutely stunning, the kids had fun swimming and making their way down stream to a little waterfall and back. We spent several days just at the house between day trips to other locations. The house has so much more than the typical rental which was such a bonus. The house is very cool and fun, very clean. The creek can be heard from every space in the house, many hours were spent lying in the porch reading and doing puzzles. We watched the fireflies at night. We did not want to leave at all! Hosts were so wonderful, we found a bees nest and they came over to take care of it right away and were extremely responsive. Loved it, highly recommend!
My family and I had a great time staying here June of 2025. The outdoor space here is fantastic and our favorite so far for our yearly family vacation. My kids and dog played basically daily from sun up to sundown in the stream outside. My wife and I had plenty of places to watch from afar if thatâs what we wanted at the time. They even have a gem sifter so you can go down to the local gem mine, pick up a bucket of dirt and bring it back to the cabin for DIY gem mining at your own pace. The cabinet itself was perfect for our family as everyone had their own room and the dog had free range of the place. Everything we needed was available, even bags to pick up after your dog. The cabin and outdoor space are all very well-maintained and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. She never interfered, but was always available if we had a question or needed assistance in anyway. I felt like we were miles away from everything but only it took 10 to 15 minutes to get into town if you wanted a grocery store or a restaurant to go out to eat at. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.
Excellent private creekside property. Very well appointed charming home with great outdoor space. We enjoyed our stay almost as much as our dogs! ...they had a blast!
The house was everything we hoped for. It was very clean and had all the knik knacks you need with a couple gifts to boot. Great listening to the creek on the porch and a nice Christmas tree added to the living room decor. Geat place!
We love the location of the house. We loved playing in the water with the kids and dogs! The house was great and the kitchen had basic essentials! This was our second time staying here and canât wait until we go back!
Loved the house and its location by the creek. We stayed outside the whole time just listening to the water. So peaceful that we fell asleep on the porch multiple times. And our furbaby loved getting his feet wet.
This was our 3rd stay here and every time we fall in love with it even more. Itâs close to a lot of great gem mines, and we even brought back some gem dirt to sift through in the creek later that day! Our dogs love playing in the creek too.
As with all the places in this area, the WiFi is spotty. But we love that they have Direct TV so we can watch more than just DVDs. The beautiful kitchen is well stocked for making meals there and they have a great little coffee bar section!
This is a great place to relax and unplug. So much room and a porch on all 3 levels! The main one wraps all the way around and I loved the little fenced in area off the main porch for the dogs. I highly recommend the Bhakti Manor!
We needed a quick break away from the hustle and bustle of our every day routine. Decided to spend a few days here to relax and catch back up with nature,
The stream/river running beside the house was the most calming and restoring sound you can have. The house was in wonderful shape, and had a crazy well stocked kitchen to use.
All communication with the host was quick and efficient.
We will be coming back for sure, but for much longer next time.
Each year we pick a cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving to be near our kids. This one exceeded our expectations and the setting was amazing. We brought our dogs and they had a wonderful time as well. The property is perfect for just about everybody. We felt like we were staying at a good friendâs Home. The kitchen was so well stocked, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house layout worked very well for us. I just canât say enough about it. Debra was also so easy to deal with and communicate with and extremely helpful.
We wanted a property where there was room to stretch out, relax, and slow down, in nature and yet be near activities like hiking, rafting, gem mining, etc.
Debra Pettinato-Ross and Richard Ross wanted to provide a comfortable, contemplative refuge for those seeking to relax and enjoy the beauty and activities of the Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina.
Quiet. serene location close to waterfalls, hiking, river rafting and gem mining. Easy drive to the restaurants and highly rated spa in Highlands and Harrah's Casino in Cherokee. & Bryson City 2.5 hours from Atlanta and 1.5 hrs from Asheville. 45 minutes
