Exceeded Our Expectations

Let me start by saying I don’t like taking the time to leave reviews; but, I always read reviews. I will keep this short- it’s worth the drive up. The road most of they way up was scary to me the first time; we arrived right at dark. After the second time up, it really wasn’t bad. I backed up the driveway after the first night and it was much easier to leave. The house is beautiful and was super clean! The floor was clean, the kitchen was clean, bedrooms were clean, bathrooms were clean, and living room was clean. The couch is brand new, the sheets felt wonderful, the towels smelled nice and clean, there was full hand-soap in the bathrooms, a nice washer and dryer, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels and all the kitchen items you’d need. I loved that I didn’t have to pack towels and linens. Look, there are areas of imperfection if you want to nitpick, but this house is beautiful and very well kept!!! The pictures really don’t do this property justice and the view is so stunning. It’s also very well situated between some great towns to visit. Me, my husband and our 3 daughters (5, 10, and 20) all had a great stay and can’t wait to come back!

Awesome view!

We loved our view of all the mtns in full color! The home was so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Loved sitting on the deck and relaxing while having our morning coffee or out under the stars and full moon while we were there. Everything was very clean! The owners have done a great job and are very quick to answer any questions.

Charming Mountaintop Home A-Frame

This home is absolutely the most charming I have stayed in. The owners are wonderful and so helpful in every way. The mountain view is incredible. I do not think I could have found a more beautiful place to stay. It has 2 bedrooms and a little study area. The living room space is wonderful. And the patio overlooks the mountains which speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed. The road to the cabin is windy and narrow so prepare for an adventure! We will be back!

Windy narrow road, not easy access

I had high hopes for this reservation, being close to family in the area. The picture show access roads that are paved and not that much of an incline. However, it’s up on a mountain and the road leading up is narrow and high. Unfortunately my family was too concerned to proceed up the narrow road up, so we had to find another location. I contacted the host, and only was told other people make it up all the time, which doesn’t change my situation at all.

Amazing view

We enjoyed our stay here for the Franklin gem show. I don’t think the pics can capture the beauty of the view of the mountains from the porch. Morning coffee on the porch, watching the fog roll over the mountains was our favorite part of the stay. Cute back yard area and felt private. The house is cozy and comfy and perfect for us, my mom and two friends. The gravel road to the house is a bit steep in places and may give some pause, but I had no issues with it. It was freshly graded and I just took it slow and easy! I did wonder what would happen if I encountered another car coming the opposite direction, but thankfully that never happened!

Poor

During Hurricane Helene. Lost power and water on day #1 Were told by municipality once they cleared the fallen trees to leave and not return. Had to find another place to stay. We expect some type of refund, since we were not allowed to stay by the municipality. Before all this however, we noticed there was mold and mildew on the bathroom shower curtains. Light bulbs burned out and not replaced on light fixtures.

Perfect girlfriend getaway

We had the best time at this cabin. It is big enough for a good 10 people if you bring your own air mattresses! The cabin has every thing you need, kitchen is fully equipped, just bring your food! It’s a 3 level cabin with one bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The 2nd floor has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room with TV and nice size dining area! There’s a spare room with a couch. It’s set up like a little den, with a nice size closet! Go up one more set of stairs for the 3rd bedroom. There’s a boom box with CD player and nice speakers. A desk, queen bed and a closet. It’s a roomy place that makes for a perfect getaway on top of a mountain! It’s decorated nicely and very clean! I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed with this gem! Going into town in Franklin is very quaint and the people are friendly. Whether you’re shopping or eating… plenty of both! The surrounding towns have shopping and eats as well! Our host Mary was so kind and very accommodating! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Mountain getaway

The view is very nice but a little difficult to navigate to. The heat was not on when we arrived and it was much later than we expected due to a traffic accident so it was very cold. It warmed up pretty quickly but due to heating with propane it was very difficult to regulate and was never very comfortable. Its a pretty place and the host was very nice but i dont think i would stay again.

Spectacular View, Lovely Home!

We stayed for 5 days to celebrate our anniversary, and this house was perfect! The view is spectacular! It was incredible to wake up each morning to the view of the Smoky Mountains as well as enjoying dinner each night on the patio facing the mountains! The home is lovely, and very clean! The property owner is very kind and friendly! I reached out to her on our way to inquire about local grocery stores and she called me immediately and provided multiple recommendations. The location of this home is great too. We took an hour trip to Asheville and visited the Biltmore, and another day took about 45 min-1 hour to drive to the Smoky Mountains National Park and did some hiking and exploring. Overall, we had an amazing stay at this home and we’re still talking about it! I would highly recommend!
