Cute, rustic place tucked away in the mountains. We really enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights. Not far from stores and restaurants it was a quick drive for anything we needed. Hosts were receptive and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

No one could sleep in the room downstairs due to a dehumidifier going on and off with no door to block the noise. The TV upstairs didn't work. I wish there had been a heater upstairs because I didn't feel good about leaving the gas fireplace on all night.

Spent a long weekend. Conveniently located near Franklin but felt like it was in the middle of the woods.
Nice, clean and cozy.

Everything was wonderful...only being that time of year, the trees were losing their nuts and dropping very loudly onto the metal roof of the carport! We almost made it a drinking game!

We were drawn to the unique features of this place. The hosts were responsive and the kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking our own meals. If someone is very sensitive to smells, I’d advise you not to stay as their is an overall musty smell despite the dehumidifier running. But if you love staying places that have special features that make your stay memorable, pick this place!

Nice cabin . Had everything we needed. Window AC units are only in the bedrooms, this was the only down side. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen got warm during the day.

This cabin/cottage is exactly as it appears in the listing. The homeowners are very reachable and helpful and also provide you with every bit of information you could need to make the process of check in and out an ease. They have information for areas to visit and suggestions for things to do in the area, provide information about the local grocery stores and even give restaurant suggestions! They provide the necessities like soap, toilet paper and paper towels, cleaning supplies, dish soap, and even clothes washing detergent! They really have attempted to make everything as easy as possible! There is a charcoal grill on site, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor table, and a fire pit area. You can also sit in the swing and enjoy hearing the birds and wildlife. There are lots of feeders on site and they provide bird seed for them so if you enjoy birds, it’s a watchers paradise! The beds are very comfortable and they have it set up for you to be able to stream from the TV’s in each room also.
We have a 5 and 6 year old and they enjoyed the cabin! We made s’mores, watched movies, visited many of the local waterfalls and explored in Cherokee. We cooked many meals at the cottage and always had breakfast and coffee there. It’s the perfect setting to get away and enjoy family time or perfect for a couple or 2 couples to go and enjoy the mountains!
We are looking forward to returning and are so glad we found this Gem in Franklin!

This is a beautiful property, inside and out with fantastic décor.
The location is very private, but only 3 to 4 miles of all the amenities of a small town (Grocery store, Lowes, restaurants including fast food). The location is very friendly to all type of excursions. We visited the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, gem mining, local brewery, and waterfalls to name a few.
Only issue we had was the weather at this time of year, hot, humid and afternoon thunder storms. Next time I would recommend May to early June,
I recommend this property to everyone. The property owners are very reachable and receptive regarding any assistance or questions you may have.

Great stay!
Exactly as described. Very comfortable and clean. The only disappointment was the barking dogs next door which made it difficult to take a walk outside. Other than that, I would highly recommend.

Great place
Very cute place with a lot of cute decor touches throughout the place. The location to things in the area was good for us as our primary goal was to do some hikes, rafting and zip lining and not be in a highly crowded, commercialized spot. We did some close hikes and took some gorgeous drives 40-60 minutes away to do other things.
The beds were comfortable and loved that there was a washer and dryer with detergent. Well stocked for paper items as well! Nice to have a grill with charcoal there to use. Loved bird watching too! Enjoyed the micro breweries in town and really good BBQ at Fat Buddies! The only 2 downfalls were possibly the neighbors dogs “business” wasn’t disposed of very well as for a few days it didn’t smell very nice outside. Not the cottage owners fault though. The other was the cleaning crew did well on the bigger, main areas but small details of corners could be vacuumed and dusted better. Other than that we would recommend this place!

Cottage retreat
this is a beautiful cabin that feels like its in the heart of the mountains, but is within 5 minutes of shops and restaurants. The owner left highly detailed instructions on all amenities of the cabin leaving us feeling well taken care of.

Love the Stone Cottege
The stone cottege was nice I very much enjoyed the property
The cabin was neat and clean. I loved the stone shower and clawfoot tub. The air conditions kept the bedrooms nice and cool. The wifi was great and worked flawlessly the entire time...I was even able to play Overwatch online on my Nintendo Switch & watch movies on my tablet at night. We definitly got use out of the fire pit outside and we got to see alot of wild life including many diffrent birds and squirrels, elk and even a black bear. The chair and couch in the living room are comfortable. And we liked having tvs in loving room and 2 bedrooms.
The the only downside is location.
Driveway is steep...it was only a problem because we was in a big vehicle..an Expedition. And as much as I like Franlkin not much to do there. And its a long drive over to other towns...especially over to Gatlinburg- Pigeon Forge...
I would highly recommend going to the Tiger Drive in over in Tiger, Geogia. Had a great time seeing the Raya And The Last Dragon & the New Cruella movie.
Overall love the Stone Cottege and would definitly reccomend it for anyone lookong to relax in the mountains.
