Franklin sits on a hill above the Little Tennessee River. The surveyors who chose the site in 1820 admired its beauty, laying out the town with Main Street facing the Cowee Mountains to the east and the Nantahala Range to the west. Though ringed by rugged summits, Franklin was linked to population centers by well-worn trails. It soon developed into the market center of southwestern North Carolina, a role it retains today, especially for the building trades, furniture, and jewelry. Richly blessed with gems and minerals, the town was once touted as the “Gem Capital of the World.” Franklin is also justly proud of its crafters, including quilters, woodworkers, potters, basket makers, and glass artists. The Franklin Press, founded in 1886, is the oldest business in the county. The Macon County Historical Society, operating in the old Pendergrass Store, and the Franklin Gem and Mineral Museum are perennial favorites with tourists. Franklin is also a gateway town for the Appalachian Trail, which passes nearby, attracting hikers almost year-round. Franklin showcases the rich commercial and community history of this North Carolina mountain town.

Peaceful easy geeling
Stayed Fri-Sunday for Western Carolina University homecoming/tail-gating. Easy directions, beautiful location. Clean, comfy and stocked to meet our needs. Space for everyone! Lower level accessible. Fire pit area we did not use, however we will make time next time! Beds were comfortable, we did not utilize the bunk beds, but a fun space for kids to sleep! All appliances worked well and were clean! The host is wonderful! Very informative and responsive! Thanks for a great time! We will return!!!!

Awesome
Loved the cabin layout and the covered wrap around porch. It was very secluded and quiet which was what we were looking for. The town wasn't very far away if anything was needed. The drive going up was a bit tricky but we had no problems. Everything we needed was provided, we just took food. Jerry was very helpful with any questions we had and a great host!

Beautiful Mountain Stay
We stayed at Ridgetop Manor while visiting family in the area. We had about 15-17 people at the home during the day and had plenty of room to relax, cook, converse, and just enjoy each others’ company. The property was amazing and the kids had so much room to run around outside, or around the wraparound deck during those rainy moments. The home was comfortable, large, and had every cooking utensil we could ever need! The owner was so accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. He was also available at the drop of a text or call. I would highly recommend a stay at Ridgetop Manor if you’re ever in the area.

Great Space!!
This house is amazing!! Jerry the owner was very helpful and available. I loved the views from the front and rear porches. It is a wilderness wonderland. If you are looking to get away from civilization this is it. The wind blowing thru the trees and all the bird calls, just amazing. The fire pit was great and Jerry provided firewood.
