This is our second stay. We love this sweet little cabin. In particular how clean and well kept it is. Often places are clean on the inside but deck spaces full with cobwebs etc. Not this place! The deck is clean and nice to relax on with Adirondack chairs and a swinging bench. Thank you, Dwight, for sharing your Cabin that’s obviously cared for with love.

The cabin was very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and peaceful. In the hills but just a short drive to downtown Franklin. Nice porch out front for coffee in the morning. The only slight downside for me was the parking on the upper level near the road and the walk down a small decline to the cabin. After the rain it was slick with no steps.

Thanksgiving in Franklin

The stay at the Brendle Cabin was a delight. It was totally as advertised, clean, comfortable, charming. The best appointed overall as any VRBO we have rented. We look forward to future stays while visiting Franklin in the future.

A slice of mountain living, one peaceful and picturesque place to rest and be revived! The host is friendly and accommodating and the views from their wraparound porch are breathtaking. Mountain views, birdsong, wildlife, they have it all. The cabin itself is beautiful — clean and spacious, comfortable and full of charm. My only regret is not staying longer!

Wonderful as Usuall

We have stayed here about 4 or 5 times and its the perfect retreat. Dwight is always available for issues or questions. The cabin is the cleanest of any hotel room or VRBO that we have ever stayed in. We will always stay here when in the area. The goats are a plus and fun to watch. There are 2 new sets of twins.

A Hidden Gem

The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

Nice Fall Getaway

We enjoyed our time at this cabin in the woods. Cabin had most everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and short distance to many attractions. Each day we looked forward to seeing the white goats, they were so friendly.
