You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The perfect mountain retreat

Beautiful mountain cabin nestled in the picturesque Great Smoky Mountains in the quiet town of Franklin, NC. Conveniently located near many local attractions and activities. Brendle Cabin offer two very comfortable bedrooms, one well-appointed bathroom that includes washer & dryer. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any and all meals..all you'll need is the food! We have tried to think of everything to make this cabin your "home away from home" and step right inside and feel comfortable with all of any home's amenities.

A slice of mountain living, one peaceful and picturesque place to rest and be revived! The host is friendly and accommodating and the views from their wraparound porch are breathtaking. Mountain views, birdsong, wildlife, they have it all. The cabin itself is beautiful — clean and spacious, comfortable and full of charm. My only regret is not staying longer!

Perfect quaint cabin
Perfect little cabin. We’ve visited the area a number of times now to visit our daughter who attends WCU. This has been our favorite so far. Built by the owners and so obviously cared for with loving attention to cleanliness and renter’s needs. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

A Hidden Gem
The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

A wonderful cabin
This is the fifth time we have stayed here and as always we have had a wonderful time. Dwight and his wife take the time to come and greet us and make sure that all is ok. The cabin is cozy and nice and is perfectly located in the beautiful town of Franklin NC. We recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to just get away from all the stress and rush of everyday life.

Beyond our expectations
Dwight and Helen were very thorough is having the cabin stocked and equipped with anything one would want or need ... it truly was like home away from home. We were extremely comfortable out on the porch and inside this charming cabin and loved our stay. The highlight was being greeted by 7 goats which visited us regularly!
