Mountain Family Adventure
This home is perfect for an extended family! Family of 12 had the perfect accomodations! The 4 children had the loft, bunk beds, games, a TV and more. The adults had private rooms, and we had the Master suite. 3 different levels of decking with seating, fire tables,and tables and chairs. The fire pit was our gathering in the evening for star gazing, marshmallows, and stories. Thank you for a wonderful mountain experience!

Beautiful view
The house has a lot of room and the view is beautiful. Location: The road that leads up to the house is a one lane dirt road, a little intimidating so drive in the daytime the first time; it takes a solid 40 min to get to the highlands on a very winding road; be aware of those that are uneasy riders in the car. the drive to Franklin is easy and a sweet town to walk around. Most of the hikes are a decent drive. House: The layout is nice for kids and adults. The open loft for the kids gets loud for the adults but we ended up putting them in the master downstairs to play and it worked. Common area: it was nice to bring everyone together around the fireplace. Beds were ok; bring extra pillows Bathrooms ok(bring extra t-p); towels minimal Kitchen was ok; not a lot of room and fridge didn’t stay super cold; buy ice Laundry: nice to have onsite Outdoor: space is nice with the fire pit on the deck and in the open space outside Host: was communicative We had some issues when we were at the house and they were noted. Recommended to take pictures of the home upon arrival and departure and also if issues come up document and take pictures.

Awesome!
What a wonderful home! Grand views from the multiple decks. Comfortable furnishings throughout. Great for multi-generational families or multiple couples with three levels for living; the loft/game room set up with bunk beds and day bed would be great for teens/children, the main level with great room and two private bedrooms and the complete lower level set up as the main bedroom with another beautiful stone fireplace. There is even an efficiency apartment with its own entrance. Communication with Natalie, the host, was fantastic from beginning to end. The home was even beautifully decorated for Christmas! Close to great small towns for day trips. Highlands was a favorite for shopping with plenty of waterfalls to see on the way. Another town to visit - Helen, GA, for a true Bavarian experience. And don't forget to stop by Dillard House Restaurant for great homestyle dining. Can't wait to come back!!!

Beautiful scenery
Decks, fire pit, and the view were amazing. Loved the fireplaces, but restrictions were set about using them for only 30 minutes a day. And likewise, restrictions on use of heat sources, but on the whole, an excellent experience.

Cabin with a view
We traveled with my brother’s family. There were 4 adults and 3 teenagers. We really enjoyed the view and the fire pit. The retro video games were also a great hit for adults and kids. Close to a lot of hiking and waterfalls. Closest grocery store is about 20 minutes but huge and well stocked if you need groceries or anything else. We did buy a couple of hands soaps, dish sponge and firewood. Knives, dishes and pots were adequate. Could have used a tea pot or electric kettle for our British family :) but ample space for all of us and great memories made!
