Located in Franklin, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and enjoy a short 5-minute walk to Nantahala National Forest, or easily tackle the quick 8-minute drive to Cherokee Ruby & Sapphire Mine.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the balcony; you may also like the firepit and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom rental features a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you can even travel light because you'll have a dryer.
