An enchanting, rustic cabin, perfect for a couple’s getaway. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Melrose Cabin, there were many pros and just a few cons. Pros- the location was just outside of main street Highlands, and just on the highway to Franklin with its beautiful scenic drive. The cabin itself had a very cozy, fairytale cottage vibe. It had everything we needed. The hosts were very easy to reach and communication was easy via text. Cons- the rustic was indeed just that: very rustic! There is no central AC, only a window unit in one bedroom, which was hard to regulate for both noise and air while we slept. The stairway was somewhat slippy and steep, and gave the impression of climbing into a treehouse. Maybe not a con, but also just tricky for anyone with mobility issues or small kids. All-in-all, a fun experience and suited our needs for our 2 night stay!
