Located in Franklin, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Nantahala National Forest is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 6-minute drive to Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a desk. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a blender. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, and heating.
