Second time staying, and we will be back. Everything you need and great location between Franklin and Sylva.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lots of extra nice touches, including snacks/cold drinks available when we arrived. Very quiet and peaceful.. We saw deer and wild turkeys! Definitely need 4 wheel drive though, as it's a bit off the beaten path on a gravel drive..
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We loved the tiny cabin in Franklin! Everything we needed and Bill was quick to answer any questions we had. We have already booked for October and we can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the colors and listen to the rushing water. A
