About this cottage rental
Nestled in Franklin, this lovely cottage for $135 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. A WILDERNESS RETREAT is located in Franklin North Carolina. Franklin is in Western North Carolina surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. Franklin is well known for it’s gem mining and it’s natural beauty of it’s surrounding misty mountains. Well located, Franklin is right over Georgia’s state line and about an hour’s drive from Tennessee. There are numerous trails and natural attractions in Western North Carolina. We have recently updated our cottage. We have painted and refreshed through out, with new bathrooms, the kitchen has new quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. The basement bedroom has been redone and we have added a/c splits, all to help make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Our town has plenty to keep you busy. There are various festivals and special events, along with local activities throughout the year. Additionally, there are numerous surrounding towns with their own style and charm. If you just want to relax, sit on our porch watch our beautiful sunsets, enjoy our fire pit, hear the rustle of the leaves, and admire the view and the sweet fresh mountain air. We hope you take in the beauty of Franklin and enjoy your stay in the beautiful Nantahala wilderness.

We had a wonderful stay. We spent hours, almost every night, sitting on the deck watching lightning bugs and listening to crickets, frogs, and an occasional elk. It was just what I needed to unwind and relax. The cottage itself is roomy and beautifully furnished. We were especially impressed with the kitchen, with all the appliances, utensils, and dishes one might need to feed a large group. Our host Susana was very friendly, helpful, and responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in the area!

Thankyou.

We were very happy with our stay here. The owner was very communicative and check-in was a breeze. The cabin lists three bedrooms but we found that the den could also be used as a fourth and be shut away with the downstairs bathroom for someone that wanted more privacy. The cabin is also very close to town, which has a Walmart and a variety of good restaurants. The cabin was clean and stocked with the all of the basics. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely book this cabin again.

This was our first time using a VRBO and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The property and home were beautiful, clean and well-stocked. Close enough to town and surrounding areas for day trips with the return “home” welcoming. Numerous restaurants within a 5 mile radius with the Kountry Kitchen, Haywood Barbecue and Lucio’s Italian being our favorite breakfast and dinner locations. We did day trips everyday and missed out on eating at The Gazebo Creekside Cafe. We definitely plan to return to this property soon!

The property was as described. A beautiful drive up the hill to the house nestled in between large trees. It felt like you were in a tree house. The deck was large and had wonderful seating areas to enjoy the view of the mountains. It can sleep 3 couples easily and the fireplace in the living room kept us nice and toasty. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and everything worked well. Highly recommend this place.

We thought the overall experience was good, but with a couple of suggestions…the house needs central air, at least upstairs. The downstairs could use the window unit. The dehumidifier is noisy and doesn’t do a good job. Also, the fire pit was out of gas.

Thank you for providing a great place to get out of the Florida heat. It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The great deck and outdoor furniture made mornings and evenings very relaxing and just what we needed. Also the garage and carport made parking a big plus for the two cars. We made lots of day drips and enjoyed the local gem mines, easy access to Franklin, Cherokee and Bryson City. Thanks again and may God bless you. Wayne

Wilderness retreat is a wonderful place to get away from the big city life. Just minutes away from restaurants, downtown, grocery store and Walmart. Our family enjoyed our time at the rental and out and about aroundo Franklin. A nice drive to Dillsboro for some fantastic BBQ at Haywood’s. A must go to place
