This place is perfect. Everything is so well laid out for the ultimate mountain cabin get away from the decor to the amenities and cleanliness. We enjoyed it so much so we booked it again for 1st week in November while I am attending a class in Franklin.

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.

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.

Excellent mountain stay

The special touches make this place so great. The huge porch had many different seating areas, with lights, fans, and personal heaters - it made the place so much bigger than it was, which was already substantial. Three different types of coffee machines, the dedicated office space, and the cleanliness of the place also added to our enjoyment of the property. Note that it is 20-30 mins of winding roads to get to Franklin or Highlands.

Beautiful mountain house, peaceful

The cabin is tastefully decorated in a chic modern antique style. Many small details were included with the highlight being all the outdoor screen areas! We enjoyed our stay!

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!

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!

Anniversary getaway

This cabin is the perfect romantic getaway. The screened in porches were the highlight of the home for me. The creek that runs behind the house was so peaceful and serene. The queen bed was very comfortable and we slept as well as if we were at home. We didn't cook a lot at the house, but the kitchen is fully equipped. We would gladly stay again if coming to the area.

A cute little cabin in the woods!

My husband and I escaped to the mountains to see the beautiful fall foliage. This cabin was perfect - it had everything we needed, was very clean and comfortable, and was perfectly appointed. The porches were a favorite spot for taking in the sights and sounds of nature. We will definitely be back!

Nice secluded cabin in the foothills of the Smokies. Well appointed and decorated. Excellent water pressure. Expansive screened porch. Very nice washer and dryer area. A/C that works very well when needed. 20 minute drive to Franklin; 30 to Highlands or Cashiers. Truly enjoyed our week-long stay.
