10/10 Excellent

"Awesome!"

This Is It!! Creekside Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Starlink High Speed WiFi!!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin! Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The cabin was beautiful, cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.Our favorite part was the creek — it was absolutely amazing! The sound of the water, the beautiful surroundings, and the peaceful atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. It was the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and enjoy nature.We truly loved our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful escape surrounded by nature!"

Cozy retreat with swimming pool nestled among Mountain Laurels & sunsets.

10/10 Excellent

"Owner was very pleasant to deal with and always responded in a timely fashion.Beautiful place to stay!"

Amazing Creekside Mountain Retreat!!! Hot Tub, 2 Firepits & Starlink WiFi!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying in this home. Our kids enjoyed the creek all weekend."

Mountain Serenity & Close to Hiking, Rafting, Fishing and Kayaking. "Wolf Song"

10/10 Excellent

"Over all a very excellent place to spend a few days or a month. Can’t wait to book another visit. We loved every minute of our trip."

Great Creekside Hideaway Rustic Cabin - Secluded, Creekside Family Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Only issue we had was the phone service doesn't actually work. We bought a new land line phone for it, its not the phone. There is some kind of line interference but when someone talks to you it just makes a muffled growling sound and they cant hear you either.Please have the phone service checked out. Outside of that though, this is without a doubt a dream stay if you are wanting to unplug and enjoy a fresh mountain stream and some coffee on the porch!"

Rushing Water, Hot Tub, Big Deck, Firepit, Hiking, National Forest & Wi-Fi

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. One of a kind. Hearing the sound of the rushing water was so soothing. The host was available immediately when we needed. Highly recommend it. Personal decorative touches including themes of travel and adventure. Also an incredible selection of tv channels to amuse and educate. Thank you hosts."

Mountain View Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely small house in the mountains, on top of a hill. We came to stargaze (Perseid meteor shower) and once the constellation rotated above the treeline, we were not disappointed.We were looking up in the dark, and it wasn't really 'til checkout that I noticed the great daytime mountain view from the front porch. Wonderful!Nicely-equipped kitchen, modern appliances. There was an air fryer when we came; didn't see that pictured.Starlink Internet was fine. Attended a Zoom club meeting while there: no trouble. Cell service is not great, neither is GPS quality (in a valley on the way): Recommend you print the last leg of your driving map to make sure you have it. WiFi calling let our phones connect once we were at the property.Know that there's a very long gravel drive, and it goes uphill. Consider whether your vehicle will manage it (my 2WD Tacoma did fine. Wouldn't bring a Lowrider or a Ferrari.).Our host was kind, rapidly responsive, right on top of everything. Great stay, fantastic getaway from the city."

Appalachian hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the cabin. It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The kitchen was well equipped, the amenities were thoughtful, and it was clear that the owners take great care of the property. The location was peaceful and convenient for exploring the Franklin area, while still feeling tucked away in the mountains. We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
