The property was as described. Clean and was stocked well enough for our needs. Had good internet connection and my cell actually worked at the house. Didn't use the hot tub though available, just didn't have time. Location was convenient to downtown Franklin and to the lake for a tour we were taking.We only had some issues with the door locking system. Took several attempts to unlock the door after locking when left. Overall a relaxing couple of days in the mountains

Wonderful accommodations. Very peaceful and relaxing on the deck tucked back in the woods. The host was always quick to respond to any inquiries I had. A short 20 minute drive puts you back in civilization. Walmart, restaurants, etc. The one hike you don’t want to miss if you’re physical able (I counted 625 steps over the course of a half mile) is the High Falls Waterfall. The entrance is across from the beach. Go during the dam release which they do for the kayakers. The amount of water going over falls is thunderous. I’ve been to dozens of rentals all over the world. This certainly ranks near the top.

Great property. Hosts were responsive and house was awesome. House was on a gravel road that was a bit difficult to navigate but it’s perfect for someone looking for something secluded in the mountains.
