Wonderful

Overall, an excellent cabin, highly suitable for 4-6 people. It was clean, well-stocked with amenities (spices, basic supplies, etc.) and a kitchen with extensive cooking gear. A nice fireplace and firepit (both of which we would have used except for the warmth for the first item and pouring rain for much of our trip for the second! Excellent front porch, easy commute into Franklin. All in all, a very nice cabin that we will stay in again!

Great stay!
Super clean cabin in a great location. The layout of the cabin was amazing. They were very thoughtful in what was in the cabin and we enjoyed our stay.
Great, quiet, out of the way cabin. Well appointed with wverything you need to stay as long as you like. We really enjoyed our stay. Be aware that it is 20 minutes to the nearest grocery so bring your food. Also, the road to Nantahala lake is very curvy and the 10 mile drive will take 45 minutes but is worth the drive.

A stay for myself and friends to enjoy motorcycle riding in the Smokies. The cabin was great and location was fantastic!
Will definitely stay here again.
Wonderful home inside and out. Home is fully stocked and our grandsons enjoyed the upstairs entertainment area. This home was definitely added to our favorite list.
We had a real good time. I would definitely recommend and stay again. If I had to say one thing that would be provided cleaner looking wash clothes.

Would stay again!
This peaceful little get away was exactly what we needed. The house was beautiful, quiet area, clean except for some stuff that was missed in the upstairs shower but other than that it was perfect. I would rate 4.5 and we will definitely visit again!

The location of the cabin is perfect. It’s secluded but close to town. The setup of the cabin inside was very nice. We were comfortable and happy.

Amazing location of home
Everything was amazing For me im 6ft 5 bed for me was smaller upstairs.
A beautiful cabin with lots of entertainment inside and outside. We would have loved to stay a couple more days to take advantage of everything the cabin had to offer.
My wife grew up just a stone's throw from this property. We rented as a supplemental place to stay during a family holiday visit. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, no issues or complaints. Would not hesitate to rent again!

Great Stay
Loved the cabin. The trees coming into the property need to be cut back. WIFI is slow, but manageable.
We were only there overnight. We got sick and had to head back to Florida. By the cabin is very nice!

Nice Cabin in the woods
We enjoyed our time at the beautiful cabin. We had family all meet there and it was real nice. Very private if that's what you are looking for and it's close to golfing and the gem shows which is why we were in Franklin. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed.
