Description
Newly constructed in January 2023 with custom finishes, Mountain Gem Hideaway is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin nestled on a hilltop in Cowee Valley overlooking western North Carolina mountains. This beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is the perfect spot for couples to escape and recharge! It's the perfect place to relax after a long day of adventures. Access to the cabin is paved roads right up to the front door. So you don’t need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Mountain Gem Retreat is only 7 miles to downtown Franklin, 23 miles to Sylva, 24 miles to Bryson City, and 35 miles to Cherokee. The possibilities of fun are endless. Come relax on the covered deck and watch the sunset or in the 5 person jacuzzi after a full day of hiking. Show off your cooking skills both indoor and out. The Mountain Gem has a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances and is stocked with various cookware for the chef in you to enjoy. If it’s BBQ you prefer, there’s a custom built fire pit and BBQ area just outside below the deck with a gas BBQ grille (propane always included), Adirondack chairs and picnic table for outdoor dining in the fresh mountain air.
A few things to note: The property is located in a small community but still offers privacy. Offers Starlink wifi. We welcome your furry friends and there is a strict NO SMOKING policy inside the home. We ask that you dispose of your tobacco trash in a water bottle!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kate Bowman
My name is Kate and my husband Trevor and I live in Miami. We travel to North Carolina a few times a year to get away from the crazy city we live in. We bought The Mountain Gem in 2023 and our dream of owning a mountain home became a reality. We fell in love with Franklin and are so excited to share our home with you. We love hiking and being surrounded by nature. We wish we could come more often but when we can't, we live vicariously through our guests.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it is quiet, cozy, and the sunsets stole out hearts. The mountain views are a dream come true!
What makes this property unique
We wanted a place to travel with our pets that people would feel right at home at. We hope we have created that for all of our guests.
