About this property

A Wilderness Retreat Cottage In The Mountains Of Western N. Carolina

A WILDERNESS RETREAT is located in Franklin North Carolina. Franklin is in Western North Carolina surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest.
Franklin is well known for it’s gem mining and it’s natural beauty of it’s surrounding misty mountains. Well located, Franklin is right over Georgia’s state line and about an hour’s drive from Tennessee. There are numerous trails and natural attractions in Western North Carolina.

We have recently updated our cottage. We have painted and refreshed through out, with new bathrooms, the kitchen has new quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. The basement bedroom has been redone and we have added a/c splits, all to help make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible.

Our town has plenty to keep you busy. There are various festivals and special events, along with local activities throughout the year. Additionally, there are numerous surrounding towns with their own style and charm. If you just want to relax, sit on our porch watch our beautiful sunsets, enjoy our fire pit, hear the rustle of the leaves, and admire the view and the sweet fresh mountain air.

We hope you take in the beauty of Franklin and enjoy your stay in the beautiful Nantahala wilderness.
