Five of us came up for a motorcycle trip. The cabin is located in a central location for a lot of great rides. The property was beautiful and the cabin was wonderful. Gary was easy to communicate with.

Excellent Experience!
Would highly recommend staying here if you want a quiet, comfortable getaway with an awesome view. After hiking all day, it was the perfect place to come back to and relax. Enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds and the brook. Owners very attentive and accommodating.

Clean and great location
The location and view were perfect. Hours away from major cities. We headed to Helen, Pigeon Forge, Blairsville, Hiawassee, and Cherokee. All were in close proximity to the house. The views were amazing. There was a creek down below the house you could hear while relaxing on the porch. I have rented from VRBO for many years but have never had the renters reach out to us before we got to the location to see if we needed anything. It made us feel so special. The home was immaculately clean. Appreciate everything and hope to come back for a different season.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the property was amazing. The owners were very sweet and informative. We usually won’t stay the same place twice, but I would love to come back here. It is also a very central location to use as a home base to visit all of the fun places in the mountains. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Our stay was peaceful, quiet and very serene just as we had hoped. The deer and Hummingbirds entertained us each afternoon sitting on the porch after wonderful motorcycle rides and hikes. The home was very comfortable with all of the amenities of home. The upstairs shower was a challenge in its size, but the downstairs shower was very good. Gary was a great host and very accommodating. We would stay with him again given the opportunity.

Outstanding view
The rental was very clean. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The mountain views were amazing we liked listening to the cows and bull frogs. The hosts provided many amenities in case you forgot something from home. You could see the mountains from sitting in the living room. The only thing that we would change would be the main floor's shower. We felt it was a tighter space but there is a full bath downstairs.

Mountain House Getaway
This listing is superb. Located nicely for an easy drive to waterfalls, hiking and biking trails, fishing and just a short drive to Franklin for city activities. Super clean property and the house has all you need for grilling and cooking. The best part is the long front deck to enjoy AM coffee as well as retire with a nightcap!

Wonderful location and property when you need to get out in the country! Stop at the grocery store on your way and once your here it is like your at home. I can’t imagine you needing anything that is not already here! Great owners and a great place

Great little getaway
This listing is amazing! The owners go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for a fun-filled trip. We could have stayed there the whole time between fishing and playing in the creek! It’s very family friendly. I highly recommend and will definitely be going back!!!!!!!

Mountains galore
It was everything we needed for the perfect get-away-from-it all. Easily accessible. Clean. Comfortable. A plus for us is a comfy recliner and this awesome house had plenty. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare our meals. And the view from the porch was enough to make us want to sit out there with our coffee and just bask in the glorious morning mountain view.

Very Nice Home
We stayed at this home May 13 - May 17, 2019. The owner met us there and showed us around and gave us a key. We were having trouble with our truck, so he even called a local garage and then we followed him there. He went above and beyond to help us get our truck fixed quickly. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The views from the front deck were fantastic. The house is located about 5 miles from the center of town, but very easy access. Our only issue was with the upstairs shower. It was great, but just too small. Other than that, everything was perfect, and I would definitely recommend this home.

Fabulous view and hospitality
The house and view are fabulous. Was in town for a family visit over Christmas and needed a place to call home for a few days. The mountain getaway was easy to find and get to. There is a private bedroom and bath on the lower level. 2 bedrooms with bathroom on the upper level which also includes the kitchen, dining, and living area in an open concept plan. Ample porch off of this level overlooking valley. Close to everything Franklin area has to offer. Hosts are very accommodating and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
