1660 Guest House. Our 4th visit and it was as beautiful as the first visit. Enjoyed the various outdoor seating options as well as outdoor dining on the deck. The Home is always so well maintained and clean. The Host and Housekeeping make your stay feel like a retreat. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home, we hope to return soon.
The house was warm and inviting. We loved the kitchen and master bedroom. It was close to town. It was cold most of the time we were there but the deck was great.
Had a wonderful stay. Charming house with beautiful kitchen, big yard, and ample deck seating. Would recommend it highly and definitely stay here again.

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We would be most happy to host you again in the future should you come our way again.
This home has a very warm and inviting feel. Was very clean and very well stocked. Although we didn’t have any children in our party there was plenty of outdoor access for children to run play and have a good time. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Conveniently located to town.
My family and I absolutely loved the house. There is plenty of room for 6 people. The deck is large and peaceful. The extra studio apartment was a fantastic addition for our family. The house is a close drive to downtown Franklin and only 40 minutes from Bryson City. I would highly recommend the house.
The home was perfectly located close to everything…grocery, parks/trails, attractions, and much more. This will definitely be a first consideration when returning to the area on future trips.

This is an outstanding property with an inviting atmosphere and a very well furnished interior. The kitchen is amazing with its amount of windows. Property is close to downtown and easy access off of a main road. Definitely will try to get again next time we attend the rock show.

Thanks for your kind review! You left our property in excellent condition. We would welcome you back anytime.
We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and comfortable. There were many thoughtful extras including snacks. The property was beautiful with lots of flowers blooming and a very nice waterfall and stream. We had fun playing badminton and basketball. It was very close to shops and restaurants in downtown Franklin.

Why they chose this property
We are just outside of town yet on the road to the famous gem mines. We are located on the highway to the famous Tail of the Dragon! It is considered “the destination” for thousands of motorcycle and sports car fans throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Can you brave it? It’s best to be cautious as the turns are tight, but the Tail of the Dragon is guaranteed to be the ride of your life.
