The cabin is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The porch and outdoor spaces are excellent for enjoying the outdoors. We loved our stay and hope to return!
This place is perfect. Everything is so well laid out for the ultimate mountain cabin get away from the decor to the amenities and cleanliness. We enjoyed it so much so we booked it again for 1st week in November while I am attending a class in Franklin.
Thoroughly enjoyed the comfort, the amenities, relaxing atmosphere, timely communication. Overall space invited family gathering and space to be alone.
I can’t recommend this cabin highly enough. Clean, landscaped, next to a small creek, nicely appointed with everything you need and a huge amount of screened in porches so you can enjoy nature. One of the best stay experiences I have ever had.
Hello Pamela, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed a peaceful getaway and the chance to truly unplug. While the lack of TV and internet can be a refreshing break for some, we understand it may not suit everyone’s preferences.

Mountain retreat
My family loved this property. Our kids played in the creek and I think we used every chair on the wrap around screen porch. What a place to escape and enjoy the cooler summer temperatures of the mountains.
We enjoyed the cabin. It was very comfortable surrounded by the wonderful sounds of nature. The little touches added to the coziness of the home. The family can gather together in the living room, outside porch, where heated are for cool nights. The space was just what we need. Definitely would stay again.
The cabin is tastefully decorated in a chic modern antique style. Many small details were included with the highlight being all the outdoor screen areas! We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful mountain house, peaceful
This home is adorable, charming and with beautiful views. Totally loved our stay. Highly recommend this place. Cashiers, NC is close by as is the town of Franklin, NC.
Everything about the cabin was wonderful! The attention to detail and guest comfort was unbelievable. We were truly able to relax and enjoy nature.

Excellent mountain stay
The special touches make this place so great. The huge porch had many different seating areas, with lights, fans, and personal heaters - it made the place so much bigger than it was, which was already substantial. Three different types of coffee machines, the dedicated office space, and the cleanliness of the place also added to our enjoyment of the property. Note that it is 20-30 mins of winding roads to get to
Franklin or Highlands.
This was our second time staying at the cabin. Such a peaceful place to relax and get away from it all. The cabin is furnished beautifully and the location is just off of the beaten path but still close to restaurants, shoes, and fantastic hiking trails! Highly recommend!
So glad we found this gem of a property. Great location, well-stocked, lovely porches and landscape. We'll be back.

Wonderful private cabin retreat
The entire property is beautiful, well-kept and inviting. But the large amount of screened-in porch space may be the best thing of all. The WiFi and TV was great, the beds were comfortable and everything just made us want to stay there—in spite of the fact that we had a wedding (and related activities) to attend.I would love to return again!

A cute little cabin in the woods!
My husband and I escaped to the mountains to see the beautiful fall foliage. This cabin was perfect - it had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable, and was perfectly appointed. The porches were a favorite spot for taking in the sights and sounds of nature. We will definitely be back!
