I am so glad you had a delightful time at our place. There are many afternoons I spend thinking I am going to go on a hike - but I find myself just relaxing in the rocking chairs. The town of Franklin has unique shops and excellent restaurants and there are often great shows at the Smokey Mountain Center for the Performing Arts. We are also really close to Cherokee and the Biltmore House in Asheville (their holiday decorations are awesome). Thanks for taking care of our home and please come again.

Quiet, relaxing retreat!

Nice place to enjoy the mountains, the Highlands, the waterfalls, and to be able to sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature in the mornings on the side porch with a cup of tea, and to be able to rock on the front porch and read while enjoying the cool mountain breezes and take in the views. Loved relaxing on the porch at night and listening to the night sounds as well.

So CLEAN!! Great location

We stay at VRBO properties multiple times a year and I was honestly amazed at how clean this property was. I could not FIND anything that was not sparkling clean. Not even dust! The location is great & convenient to both Franklin and Highlands. The house is well stocked with anything we might have needed, tastefully furnished and very comfortable beds. We spent a lazy day exploring the creek/waterfall and another kayaking the Little Tennessee River. We are looking forward to staying here again!

You would be hard pressed to find a cleaner more well appointed cabin. The cabin was spotless , as well as the porches and decks. Every inch of this cabin met every need and expectation. Half way between Franklin and Highlands ,,the location is convenient , but Uber private. Really enjoyed watching the humming birds from the front porch ,, they are constantly present between the many feeders and the wild flowers across the street.

Relaxing

Although we were only there for a few days this trip, we enjoyed staying in familiar surroundings. Tricia was very nice, allowed us early entry because our flight came in earlier than normal check in. Since I was traveling injured, it was wonderful to have everything all on 1 level. Beds were quite comfy, I had to use the guest bedroom due to my injury, had to pile up pillows so that I could sleep comfortably, luckily there were plenty of pillows. Thank you again for a wonderful "home away from home" Gloria & Bob

About the host

Hosted by Tricia

Host profile image
This home has been in our family since 1983 when our parents wanted to get away from the Florida heat and found this lovely 3 acre property nestled up against the National Forest. Many of the walls are 'tongue & groove' pine and the floors are all hardwood - so it stayed cool and was easy to keep clean. We have our traditional excursions - the Craft Fairs, Pickin on the Square, Thrift Store Shopping and our favorite places to eat - the 'pie place'! But the best is just waking up in the morning and knowing the rocking chairs are calling our names. We love to gather here.

Why they chose this property

The National Forest behind the house with the babbling brook and the waterfalls on the property were key features for us. There is that layed-back feeling which beckons everyone to 'relax and stay awhile' as we come up the road.

What makes this property unique

We have all the conveniences of shopping, restaurants and entertainment, but our home is 4 miles from Downtown Franklin and it seems like I am so far away from it all. There are no sounds but the waterfalls, birds and mountain breezes. I breathe deeper and I think more clearly. The night sky is brilliant and it feels like you can touch the stars. The home is high enough in the mountain elevation that it really cools off at night.
