Awesome cabin!

We had such a great stay at this cabin! It was so nice having so much space for the dogs and kids to run around. The cabin was very nice with awesome views. It's very private, but also still close to Franklin which was perfect.

Postcard worthy.

I enjoyed everything about our stay. Waking up to that mountain view never got old. Bird watching was a delight. The kitchen has anything you could need. Absolutely fantastic property. I would love to return in Autumn.

First empty nester trip with dogs :)

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at this beautiful cabin! We loved being able to bring our dogs, and they loved the property! Beautiful views from the back porch, clean and nicely decorated, and easy access to Franklin! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend Graceland Mountain!

Awesome Getaway

We arrived at night, but the outside of the house/driveway was well lit. The next morning we were able to take in the beautiful mountain views and walk the expansive property and its trails. It is a great location with end of the road privacy and absolutely no traffic noise. It was an awesome getaway and I highly recommend this home.

So glad we found this place. It is beautiful, secluded, peaceful and relaxing. The view was spectacular even on the one rainy day we had. Saw deer and turkey on the property. Well-equipped. Close to day hikes and town. Will definitely be back.equipped and very ciean.

Great secluded getaway!

We've stayed in Franklin 3 other times at different places. This was by far our favorite. The view was amazing! We stopped by the store on the way in and then barely left the next 3 days as there was plenty to do on the property. We enjoyed our time. Our only complaint (not enough to give it 4 stars) was the shower head in the only shower is barely putting out enough water to take an effectively quick shower. Besides that a cup of coffee and the porch were practically all we needed.

Best VRBO we've stayed in yet. The house is exceptionally tastefully decorated and well executed. Fantastic views off the back porch and good parking area and turn around.Access the first time may be a little daunting as the road is a moderately steep, narrow gravel and dirt. Once familiar, no worries. I did it five times on a motorcycle.The kitchen equipage is over the top. Terrific selection of quality cooking and serving utensils. Whoever did that was paying attention. Good internet and cell service there.

Flyfishing Getaway

This property is far enough away from the towns and parks to be peaceful but close enough to get to them easily. The cabin has plenty of room for 4 adults with everything needed for a pleasant visit. The deck is perfect for the sunset and the porch for sunrise! March is not the best month for fishing since North Carolina stocks that month and many of the rivers are closed.

Mountain summer getaway

Great place for relaxing between outdoor activities! Awesome view and setup for that feeling you need to know you’re getting away for awhile. When work needed to get done though, the WiFi was appreciated, convenient and consistent. Pet friendly with a wonderful patio where our pup loved to watch nature.

Beautiful house and amazing views!

Overall this property was amazing! I would definitely stay here again. This trip was for myself and two friends. The kitchen is well equipped as are the bedrooms and bathrooms. This house is very clean and modern. The pictures of the main floor represent exactly how it looks. The only minor flaw with the listing pictures is the game area downstairs. Half of the area is dirt covered area so it wasn’t ideal for us to hang out there. This wasn’t a priority for us, so it does not deter the good rating but sharing for awareness to others. The hiking trail is a short one on property. This house is conveniently located to downtown Franklin and we thoroughly enjoyed the back back porch!

Anniversary Trip

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Graceland Mountain Retreat. This is our favorite area in the mountains to visit. The cottage is super clean and cozy. The views from the back porch are amazing. We enjoyed bringing our fury friends and they enjoyed the hikes around the property as much as we did. We saw deer on a few of the hikes too. There's lots to do in the area, and we always enjoy the restaurants and shopping in downtown Franklin. The locals are very friendly and caring. If you get a chance, horseback riding at Chunk Gal Stables near Hayesville is a great way to see the beautiful mountains and meet some great people and horses. We hope to come back for another visit to Graceland Mountain Retreat soon.
