About this property

Wake Robin

Summary:

Bird-watcher's creekside cabin with screened porch, fireplace, yard, & firepit



The Space:

Wake each day to the serene sound of bird calls and soak in the scenic splendor of Western North Carolina at this peaceful, creekside cabin. Perfect for bird-watchers and nature lovers alike, this private hideaway takes full advantage of its rustic setting with features including a large yard with pea-gravel walking paths, a wood-burning firepit, and a wraparound screened porch where you can relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek, along with visits from passing wildlife.



The home is situated within easy reach of great hiking trails, fishing opportunities, gem mines, and beautiful waterfalls like Cullasaja Falls. Charming, downtown Franklin is only 11 miles away. You'll be able to enjoy all-day comfort on the spacious screened porch, with features including seating areas, an outdoor living area, and a dining table. Stretch your legs with a stroll around the property and stop to linger awhile under the gazebo. A separate porch area offers a quiet spot to sit beside the creek and also comes equipped with an outdoor fridge for cold drink storage. Evenings can be spent around the backyard firepit or in front of the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. An adorable retro-style fridge, a farmhouse sink, gorgeous wood counters, and an updated stove/oven are equipped for easy home cooking. A single-serve Keurig coffee maker is provided for morning brew convenience. The living room is well-furnished for family gatherings while the separate den provides a quiet spot for remote working or reading.

Wonderful Cabin Stay

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.

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.

A lovely weekend away!

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!

Cozy Comfortable Cabin

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.

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!

Perfect for a quiet getaway. You're a 20-30 minute drive to any conveniences but if you want an adorable cabin with everything you need, stay here. From the kitchen, to the decorations, to the outdoor cooking area, everything was well thought out. The best part are the covered and screen porches. I spent more time outside eating, reading, and working than inside.
