Mountain cabin
Buy travel insurance if you book this cabin. The property management would not allow us to cancel/reschedule after Hurricane Helene swept through this area, as the storm hit less than 30 days from our arrival. Fortunately power had been restored and authorities began allowing non - residents back in before our trip. Franklin was spared, but we were unable to visit other planned area. Bring your own cards/games as all in the cabin were missing pieces. That said, it was a well appointed cabin.

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.

Mountain Getaway
We love this cabin! It's the perfect place to access all the fun and adventure in this area: hiking, fishing, scenic drives, waterfalls, etc. It's close to great towns with shopping and restaurants. And there's nothing better than relaxing on the porch to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or afternoon drink while listening to nature at your doorstep.

Perfect solitude
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!

Peaceful and Relaxing
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.

Quiet getaway
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.

Cute cabin
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.

Mouse House
We really wanted to love this property, but unfortunately our stay was a disaster. This cabin is infested with mice. We noticed a mouse on our first night (we stayed 3 nights). We immediately notified the property manager who assured us that someone would address the issue. It went from bad to worse as the night went on with us hearing mice in the kitchen all night. We had to protect the food we brought and our sleep was significantly disrupted. The next day we bought a mouse trap, captured two mice and sent pics to the manager, who assured us over and over that someone would be out to help. No one ever came. There were mouse droppings on the kitchen counters, kitchen drawers including the utensil drawer. We found droppings on the floor, in closets, and in upstairs bathroom. We were unable to use the kitchen as expected and the outside grill was also covered with droppings. The most disturbing part of all of this was the lack of response from the property manager who just kept telling us help was on the way and to be patient. We still feel yucky about this entire experience even days later. I am confused about all the positive reviews about this property as it was obvious this was not a new problem. Overall the cabin has lots of potential but needs TLC. Desperately needs new beds, bedding, and towels. The pillows are worn and hardly pillows anymore. There was also a lot of hair embedded in towels and on sheets, which appeared clean, but maybe poor laundering?

Worst Stay Ever
My family made this reservation to attend my niece’s wedding. On the morning of the wedding, my daughter came to me and said her dog had found rodent bait. She and her fiancé were unable to attend the wedding since they had to rush the dog to an emergency veterinary clinic. The vet bill and follow-up visits total $1161.09 so far. She has one more follow-up visit to be sure no poison remains in her body. I contacted Vacasa, the property management company, numerous times on the phone, via texts, and through VRBO messaging. They told me the dog owner was responsible for the vet bill. The property is advertised as pet friendly. I asked them if there was any more rodent bait in the house and they said they did not know. I asked them what if a child had found the bait? No response. I sent the owner certified mail on 28 Oct 2023 (I obtained his name and address from the Macon County Tax Department) documenting this problem. This envelope was returned to me today (14 Nov 2023) as undeliverable. We encountered a couple more problems with the property which I did not report as I figured they would not be resolved either. I contacted VRBO and they refunded me their portion of the reservation. What was supposed to be an enjoyable family weekend turned into a nightmare. It looks like I will be filing a small claims case. Thankfully I have a lot of photos and documentation to submit with my claim.
