Vacation

We love everything about this place.. Sally is amazing… it’s a great location, out of town but yet very convenient to all the places we live to visit. We have shared our “Best kept secret” with many friends and family and they have stayed here or booked for upcoming visits.

Enjoyable stay

Thorough enjoyed our stay at the cabin which was just as pictured. Clean, comfortable, and great views from the the back deck overlooking the river. The location was convenient to Bryson City, Cherokee, Highlands, and Dillard. Host/contact responded quickly to request. Would definitely stay again if returning to the area.

Nice place

The house was very clean and well organized included everything you will need. Driveway a little steep but easier as the days went by. Could not get into the river as it was to muddy. We enjoyed the stay.

Awesome cabin on the river

We visit the mountains yearly and this is likely our favorite Cabin. Everything you need the wrap around porch is amazing and you actually have access to the river from the property. Franklin is surrounded by mountains and it is something to see. We cant rate this stay high enough. We hope to come back in the future.

Little Tennesee River

Overall, property was nice. The pictures of the outside of the house in the listing are pretty old compared to the look of the house now as well as the grounds. The wrap around deck is nice and having the gates front and back is good for the dogs.

Already planning a return trip!

The check in process was easy, the cabin itself was spotless upon arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cant wait to return. There was plenty of room for our family of three plus dog. The wrap around porch is awesome to sit and drink coffee in the mornings and then at night, sit and listen to the night sounds. Everyone was so helpful and friendly when it came to answering a few questions about where to take out our kayaks. Highly recommend this cabin!

Very nice cabin

We had a few surprises when we arrived. There were two places to enter a code: one outside the door and the other on the main door behind a storm door. When trying to contact the host, our phones had no signal so we had to drive a distance away to send messages through VRBO. After trying multiple times to get in using the outside key entry, we realized the key entry on the main door should be used. The host did not respond until the next day. The cabin was clean and very nice. We loved how quiet the neighborhood was and the wrap around porch. We would stay again.

Best Fall Colors Ever

The location worked well for us. There were many things to see and do close by. The wrap around porch with all the different views was spectacular. Listening to the river was relaxing. The accommodations inside were comfortable and well equipped.

We enjoyed the beautiful location! The trees were changing color and so beautiful. The house was perfect for the two couples. Everything we needed was supplied. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Mountain riding

We loved the location of the property and the house was excellent! Well furnished and had all of the things we were looking for as well as being close to all the roads that we like to travel. My only caution is if you are pulling a large motorcycle trailer it is very tricky to navigate the driveway, but the parking area at the cabin is large and flat.

We have stayed here before and did not have anything negative to say. This time was a little different. To start off, there was pet hair all over the top quilt on the bed in master bedroom requiring us to wash the quilt. It was so much hair it affected my allergies and a piece even got lodged in my ear. Also, the Jacuzzi tub jets weren't working properly. Only one jet was working. We also were not made aware beforehand that a wedding was taking place on the same weekend we were there to kayak and it restricted our access to the river.

Cabin

Beautiful home, quiet in woods, river down hill with lots of walking paths. Older home could use updating for a better experience. Love having our two labs run all over no leash needed as saw no one except friendly neighbors at river.
