Quaint Cabin

Cute, rustic place tucked away in the mountains. We really enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights. Not far from stores and restaurants it was a quick drive for anything we needed. Hosts were receptive and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Stone cottage

No one could sleep in the room downstairs due to a dehumidifier going on and off with no door to block the noise. The TV upstairs didn't work. I wish there had been a heater upstairs because I didn't feel good about leaving the gas fireplace on all night.

Cute cottage

Spent a long weekend. Conveniently located near Franklin but felt like it was in the middle of the woods. Nice, clean and cozy.

Peaceful, unless the wind blew...lol!!

Everything was wonderful...only being that time of year, the trees were losing their nuts and dropping very loudly onto the metal roof of the carport! We almost made it a drinking game!

Unique

We were drawn to the unique features of this place. The hosts were responsive and the kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking our own meals. If someone is very sensitive to smells, I’d advise you not to stay as their is an overall musty smell despite the dehumidifier running. But if you love staying places that have special features that make your stay memorable, pick this place!
