Spectacular View
We had the best view for fall foliage. The cabin is ideal for a group. The three levels offers privacy while still keeping everyone connected. Every bed was comfortable and the cabin was well stocked with all essentials. The cabin is perfectly situated between Franklin and Bryson City. There was lovely hiking nearby to engage all levels.

My husband & 2 sons thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We spent a lot of time out on the porches and loved the silence. The kitchen was great with everything we needed since we prepared most meals there. We would definitely book the cabin again!

Smoky Mt Cabin
Family friendly, spacious, accommodations met our family needs, and beautiful views. Host was prompt , consistent with reservations, directions, and information. Family enjoyed the pool table and foosball. The cabin was clean but not fresh. There were spiderwebs, ash piled up in the fireplace, sheets smelled stale , and outdoor furniture was dirty. Cabin appeared as if it were cleaned a month ago but closed up for a time. A spring cleanup would be recommended for the start of a new season.

Perfect cabin escape !
Our family met here for Thanksgiving and it was an amazing place to unwind and re-connect. Especially loved the cozy fireplace, the well-stocked kitchen, and the pool table downstairs. Everything was like clockwork, and so thankful to our gracious hosts. Hope to come back some day - maybe when we can tube in that beautiful river.

The cabin has beautiful views in a secluded location. Plenty of space on three floors with three full bathroom. Plenty of cooking untiles. Pool table a big hit. Lots of seating on decks for relaxing. Beds comfortable. WiFi was weak. The living room only has seating for four people need to all more. We look forward to booking the cabin again.

First time on the NC side instead of TN
This place fit our time, number of beds & pet friendly needs. It does not scream "pets are here" when you walk in. No odor, no hair. The cabin is somewhat secluded, nearest neighbor is 100 yards away (which I liked) and only 2 other houses on the "street". Bears do not seem to be as big a concern on this side as the TN side. Closest groceries (not gas station but actual groceries) is a 25 minute drive. If you need to get rid of trash it's a 8 mile drive to the town dump. If you haven't been to the area, roads are narrow, winding and often steep drop offs. Locals will tailgate & pass you in no passing zones. Some roads are single lane but handle 2 way traffic, and some areas are gravel, especially headed up to trail heads (like Tellico Rd). Not for the faint of heart. I suggest you have a car that has some power and good brakes. If you drive stick be quick off the clutch on hills. The kitchen has all the dishes and pans you need. There is a good spice rack, salt & pepper was low you might want your own. Coffee pot (cone filters) and appliances all work. Gas grill works well. There is an addictive ring toss game by the grill to keep the chef busy. BEAUTIFUL view of SMNP. Cabin is great, 3 full baths with good water pressure. Light switches all labeled for ease of use. If mapping suggests you take Highway 129 you might want to Google "The Tail of the Dragon highway 129" first.

Great long weekend getaway to the mountains
We were looking for cooler weather to beat the heat, and we truly found it here. The house is beautiful the views were gorgeous. The location was excellent, private, but within reasonable distance of Franklin, which is a very cute town. The house was well appointed, and the pool table was beautiful.

Wonderful Holiday
The property is the perfect place for your family getaway. It is incredibly well appointed with everything you could need for cooking and entertaining. The property owners were great to communicate with- we had a small issue (not their fault at all- major power outage)- they were in constant communication with us to make sure we were good. Would highly recommend.

Returning guests and had a fantastic time as usual
We enjoyed the basement and the pool table as well this time. Great place to stay. Dawn was responsive and helpful as usual. Well equipped kitchen. Love the gated deck area. Views from this cabin are amazing! I highly recommend kayaking the Little Tennessee River. We put in at the Great Smokey Mt Fish Camp (boat and fishing rentals) the owner will pick you up where you can drop off your car down river. Nice easy ride down river, some gentle rapids. Relaxing and fun!
