Top Old Cardinal Gem Mine Hotel Reviews

Charming Tiny Home with WiFi and AC in beautiful Cowee Valley Franklin Nc

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second summer staying here. I love how safe and private the location is. A great place to bond with my daughter and spend time in the mountains."

River Access and just 3.5 miles from Downtown Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay!!! It was close to Franklin and other places. It was very clean and Cherisse had it well supplied. We loved all the General Stores we visited, especially the Rickman Museum. We especially loved walking to the Mystic River. It was so peaceful there. A great place for our family!!!"

'Beautiful 7 BR 5 Bath Log Home with a game room, Hot Tub, and Starlink internet

10/10 Excellent

"This property is gorgeous and spacious for large families and groups. The views are incredible…..rain or shine!! Everything is provided except for food and drink. I mean everything!! Our family thoroughly enjoyed the game room, televisions in each of the bedrooms, and a huge dining table for us to gather around and eat together. All of us thought the beds were super comfortable too! There was plenty of seating on that gigantic wraparound porch where we enjoyed our coffee or sipped on our cocktails. The hot tub was large and very clean too. Driving up the mountain and being greeted by several deer was an adventure for Louisianians like us. And the entire area of Mac Mountain Retreat Lane was peaceful and beautiful. After reading through the guest book on the fireplace mantle, I saw that many others were also delighted by their stay at “Archer’s Lair”. How could they not be?!"

Couples Paradise: Sunset & Starry Nights Await!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this beautiful cabin and it won't be our last! The view of the Smoky Mountains from the back deck is spectacular. The cabin has everything you could possibly need and it is kept very clean. I love that the deer graze through the back yard while we are sitting on the deck. The host is always very quick to respond and very pleasant to deal with. Very highly recommend this cabin!"

A Little Slice of Smokey Mtn. Heaven - with WIFI

10/10 Excellent

"Michael and Robin are kind & wonderful hosts that truly care about the needs & wellbeing of their guests. They were very prompt at responding to any questions we had and even gave suggestions on which routes to take for a more scenic drive. Their Smoky Mountain cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The property is very quiet and peaceful, with spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every morning we sat in the rocking chairs while drinking our coffee, and in the evening, we watched the fireflies while listening to the thunderstorms and the serenade of the katydids. Sadly, we had much to do on our itinerary while visiting from the west coast and could only stay five nights but wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to return in the fall next time to see all the beautiful autumn colors. Thanks again Michael and Robin for being so awesome!"

The Farmhouse is located in the Beautiful Mountains of Western North Carolina.

10/10 Excellent

"This has been a great experience through and through, very relaxing. A tree limb broke off beside the house, none of the limbs are even close to the roof for that to be a problem.They had someone out there the next morning to remove and clean everything up. Everything was great, communication was on point, I would definitely stay here again when I'm back in Franklin."

Rynns Retreat Mountain Views

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this cabin, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is peaceful and convenient, and being able to bring our dog was a big plus. The host was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay again."
