OMG! Where do i start?! This cabin is amazing! My whole family loved the cabin. Our boys were never bored! I even got to read 2 books the 6 days we were there. The cabin is very clean, all of the essentials are there, you don't have to buy extra anything just to make meals. We only had to buy the food. We will definitely go here again! Thank you so much for opening up your home to us! Our thanksgiving was amazing!

Thanks you so much :). Well, It sounds like everyone had a little something to do and enjoyed the stay. We're glad everyone had a great time. We hope to see you again !
Couldnt ask for a better place to stay. This cabin has it all! Our family of 9 had a wonderful experience here. My daughter graduated from WCU this weekend and worked out perfect for us to travel back and forth. Went into downtown Franklin to eat the first night was awesome. The night of graduation we hired a private cheif that came to the cabin and fixed us up. Perfect set up for a long day. The host are great!! They are very explanatory which makes everything easy. They are quick to respond if you have questions along with very helpful and super nice. I highly recommend a stay here if you have the chance. The views are awesome!

Thank you for the review :) We're glad you got to spent time with your family and enjoyed the time together.
Congratulations to your daughter as well !
We fell in love with the house and everything it had to offer. There was something for each of our teenage children to keep them occupied. Would def stay here again. Only down fall was getting to the cabin you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle lol we struggled a bit but eventually made it. It was worth it!

Thank you for the review :) Sounds like everyone had a good time at the cabin. The roads get graded and graveled often as needed, which I just got word they were done today. So next time, you should have no problem.
Thanks again and see you soon !

The cabin was everything we wanted for our family vacation in the mountains. The view was amazing! The cabin was very clean and spacious. We grilled out and used the fire pit for roasting marshmallows almost every night. The kids loved the game room and outdoor activities. There was something for everyone to enjoy at this beautiful cabin.

Me and my family enjoyed staying here. The kids and adults enjoyed the activities and fire pit. I would stay here again for sure. I also enjoyed the seclusion. Road up was a little rough but it was worth what was there.

About the host
Hosted by Angelo & Tina Tarallo
We are Angelo and Tina from Tampa, Fl. We have 4 kids, Cheyne, Nickki, Anthony, Austin and 5 grandkids, Vail, Quinn, Mila, Neville, and Vada. Our dream was to own a quiet little place up in the mountains for our family, which we finally found. Our dream came true in Jan 2018 and we just love it. We are getting ready to retire in a few years and hopefully use our cabin full time. As for now, we would like to share our dream with you :)
Why they chose this property
We have family up here who told us about Franklin and after a small vacation , we were set to find a place. After a few months of looking we found our place. Built in the 70's it was a run down cabin that needed TLC . My wife and I fell in love with the place and saw there was potential in this charming cabin. Close to our family , a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the mountains.
What makes this property unique
Close enough to town for shopping and restaurants but nestled in the Smoky Mountains with a great view, fire pit, lots of activities, games and tons of relaxation spots.
