Great location
The house was lovely and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch and listening to the creek flowing. The location is great. The house is close to town but far enough away to have a mountain feel. We liked not having to drive on curvy mountain roads to get to the house.

Our Happy Place
October 2023 We felt right at home the second we walked in the door. This little hidden Gem is very clean, cozy, and fun. I loved the Fall decorations. This was our first stay in a VRBO and I really feel like we found our get away spot. We had the pleasure of meeting Brian & Regina and they were very accommodating and informative about the surrounding areas. I totally brought more than what we needed and the owners have thought of everything…next time I’ll pack lightly. We really enjoyed listening to the Creek, s’mores over the fire circle, relaxing in the Hot tub and then playing some dice near the fireplace inside. We ventured out and everything is close by. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for everything. God Bless and see you hopefully next year. Cape Coral, Florida

Perfect Mountain Getaway
Ideal for a weekend getaway in the mountains. The home was clean, modern, and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the creek views and hot tub on the porch. There are many hikes with spectacular views close by to choose from.

Amazing Vacation
My husband and I absolutely loved the home that Brian & Regina host in Franklin, NC. It had everything we needed to accommodate our stay. The mountain drive and peacefulness was absolutely incredible. When my husband and I had questions about the surrounding area for fishing and general things to do they were more than happy to socialize and give us details. Fishing was great in the creek on the property as well as privacy. We loved having a fire each night and listening to the running creek right behind the house before taking a dip in the hot tub. Definitely a great vacation for our 4 year anniversary! We will be back!
