Great little house in the woods/could be cleaner.
We enjoyed the location (in the woods, but, close to town) and the comfortable layout and the little front porch with swing and rockers.

Great stay
Cabin was better than expected. Well appointed with everything you need. More than enough room for our group of 5. Wish our stay was longer. Very easy access to Franklin
The house was cozy and comfortable. It is only 10 minutes from our friends antique store Nestfeathers. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was accomodating and the deck was where we hung out! Very peaceful. We would consider staying again when in the area!
Very nice and very private. We plan on staying there again. The close encounter with a black bear getting into the trash cans was a great experience. We manage to capture it on video. The bear took one of the trash cans away but we recovered it the next day. It was such a great experience we will always talk about.
Our stay at this cabin was excellent. The location of the property is close to downtown Franklin and neighboring towns. The main purpose of our trip was to get away and find peace and quiet and it was acheived. The cabin met all needs. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessary cooking supplies. Only complaint was we were suppose to check in at 4pm and did not get to check in until 7pm due to housekeeping arriving late. We will definitely rent this cabin in the future.

Bluebeary bungalow
Very beautiful setting and secluded. House had a few quirks, like the lower bathroom would not lock. Also we found a cooking utensil in the drawer that wasn't clean. The beds were decent. Toilet paper was junk, bring your own. it was so thin it takes half the roll to clean up. All in all home was nice place to get together with family.
We found the cabin to be very cute with plenty of room for four adults. It was also well stocked and we found everything we needed for the meals we cooked. The location of the cabin was nice as well… close, but not too close, to town.
I would not recommend the pull-out couch in the loft for sleeping arrangements for an adult as it was not very comfortable to sleep on. However, it would probably be fine for children.
The rental company was very easy to work with and everything from checking-in to checking-out was pretty straightforward.
Overall, no complaints and would probably stay again.

Beautiful Country Cabin
This cabin is quite lovely. The set back from the road is perfect, still easy to find but very peaceful. The porch swing and rockers are a must in NC. The fire pit is great with plenty of seating and supplies. The kitchen is fully stocked.
I love that this home is dog friendly, however, the bed and blanket linens need to be cleaned after each stay. The cold water supply is definitely an issue that should be resolved or stated in the description. There can only be one running water source at a time.
The cabin has air conditioning which is great if you’re staying during warm months.
Asking guests to haul away their bagged garbage at the end of their stay is a first for us. Why have garbage cans and weekly pick up?
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home. However, we will not use VACASA again as you have no direct access to the home owner, no direct access to local VACASA staff and limited phone access to a VACASA representative in some other state. First and last time using VACASA.

Great stay!
Super clean cabin in a great location. The layout of the cabin was amazing. They were very thoughtful in what was in the cabin and we enjoyed our stay.
Great, quiet, out of the way cabin. Well appointed with wverything you need to stay as long as you like. We really enjoyed our stay. Be aware that it is 20 minutes to the nearest grocery so bring your food. Also, the road to Nantahala lake is very curvy and the 10 mile drive will take 45 minutes but is worth the drive.
Wonderful home inside and out. Home is fully stocked and our grandsons enjoyed the upstairs entertainment area. This home was definitely added to our favorite list.
The printed directions to the property were not even close the real location. Had I not had friends who lived full time a mile down Wayah road I would not have been able to find it. Very BAD.
The location of the cabin is perfect. It’s secluded but close to town. The setup of the cabin inside was very nice. We were comfortable and happy.

Very nice
Having grown up in Franklin, I really enjoyed this house. It was clean, plenty of towels, good beds, etc. I really enjoyed the front porch. The woods are beautiful. I would not advise driving up the driveway with ice without proper gear. If you get really hot in your sleep, the upstairs bedroom runs hot, but the two fans in the house help so much. The cleaning when you leave is also easy.
My wife grew up just a stone's throw from this property. We rented as a supplemental place to stay during a family holiday visit. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, no issues or complaints. Would not hesitate to rent again!

Great Stay
Loved the cabin. The trees coming into the property need to be cut back. WIFI is slow, but manageable.
