NC Cabin
Beautiful area however cabin was treacherous to enter and parking for maybe two vehicles. The area between the driveway and the door threshold needs to have a flat landing to walk on for safety. Also the kitchen was not equipped adequately for the number of guests advertised. Probably won't be going back.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
The cabin had everything we needed for our 2-week stay. The only suggestion I would have is to put some written directions in the guest book on how to turn on the TV. After multiple attempts we still were never able to use the TV during our stay. Also, the thermostat kept defaulting to 81 degrees, after which we would reset it to 68, only to have it return to 81 in a couple days. We are not tech people and could only continue to reset it rather than figure out why it was happening. Since we were Hurricane Ian refugees, we really weren't much in the mood to play tourist but did manage to get to Franklin, which was a beautiful little town and the scenery in the area was spectatular.

Great location nestled in the mountains.
Great location that enables one to go anywhere in town and around Western North Carolina. The view is beautiful from the front porch. Our host was most cooperative and quick to help when something was needed in the cabin.

Loved the Cabin
Nice, clean, and cozy cabin in the Southern Appalachian mountains near Franklin, NC. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved spending the evenings on the spacious balcony overlooking the "hollow" while watching wildlife and the smoky mist rise up from and across the mountains. The cabin is located close to some amazing mountain trails and beautiful waterfalls.

This was perfect for our small family. We are avid hikers and the location of this cabin really puts you close to some incredible spots. And then it is a great place to come back to for relaxation and great views. David was great to communicate with. We will be back.

Spring vacation
The view from the cabin is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. I do recommend keeping your fur babies really close at night when you take them out. There is a lot of coyotes around there. You can hear them close to the cabin at night howling. When have them bad around our house and they worry me all the time with mine. This has no reflection on the cabin just a heads up. This was one of our best trips to the mountains and we come up twice a year. We can’t wait until the fall.

Perfectly Located
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for a week to get away and enjoy the outdoors. This property has beautiful mountain views and a perfect deck to enjoy morning coffee and evening wine while looking out upon the mountains. The location was perfect for us due to the many hiking trails and waterfalls that were within a short drive. We also enjoyed several wineries, antique stores and the Smoky Mountain Railroad. We would definitely consider visiting again!

very nice quite place with beautiful view
The house is very nice, cozy, and clean. The mountain view is very beautiful. Especially in the morning, a cup of morning coffice at the terrace was just the best thing to start your day! We expected to have more private area around, it is not really. You have and see neighbors and not much area to walk around but in general, it's very nice and quiet. It is very much required to add BBQ place and fire pit to make this house more desirable to come back.
