Awesome time at the Frog Hollow
Awesome place to stay. Cabin was furnished with everything you would need. All you need is your clothes and food. Lori and Chris checked on us a couple times to see if we needed anything and advised us of a couple places to visit. We will definitely come back again!

Lovely Cabin!
Our first time visiting Franklin was amazing! The Cabin was perfect and exactly the relaxing place we were looking for. Our girls loved the fairy path to the creek. The fire pit was a nice place to sit wind down and catch up in evenings. Lori and Chris were the perfect hosts. They've thought of everything and made our time here so wonderful! Their recommendations for things to do and see and places to eat made our visit even more special. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing Stay
We absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. It was super clean and ready upon arrival. The little welcome treats were fantastic and we couldn’t wait to unpack. The outdoor area was perfect for us and our dogs. The hosts are so welcoming and available if needed. We will certainly stay here again when traveling to Franklin with our pets. Thank you for a perfect stay!!

Everything was fantastic!
The cabin was just as described but more than we expected with all of the details the hosts thought up! The location is close enough to town but far enough out for tranquility. We will definitely book again in the spring!

About the host

Hosted by Lori and Chris

Host profile image
We are Lori and Chris Schubert. We have been in love with Franklin, NC for 15 years. We purchased this property when we first saw it and realized it's magic. We are from Northern Virginia and recently moved North Carolina full-time. We are avid dog rescue participants and understand how hard it is to vacation with pets. We hope you will feel at home and can pause and relax.

Why they chose this property

Romantic, secluded, peaceful. It doesn't get any more relaxing than this.
As you wander around the creek and woods, you will lose your sense of time and just learn to breathe again. Great place to reunite and unplug.
