The inside has been updated with new modern amenities; flooring, stainless steel appliances, kitchen cabinets with quartz counter tops, new bathrooms, mattresses with linens, farmhouse table, and much more.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our vacation. We loved the cabin. It fit every need we had. The view in the morning on the porch and at night before bed was beautiful!! If you are looking to unplug, unwind, and come home with a peaceful mind this is your place!!

Grandeur of Creation
This Was a wonderful family gathering place. The serenity and beauty were matchless! The cabin itself is well appointed, equipped and a credit to it's owners. At this time the approach to the cabin is better navigated with AWD or 4 wheel drive. Also, it is not suitable for handicapped or mobility challenges persons. I would still rate it at 5 star!

Me and my family enjoyed staying here. The kids and adults enjoyed the activities and fire pit. I would stay here again for sure. I also enjoyed the seclusion. Road up was a little rough but it was worth what was there.

Wonderful Property with an Adventurous Approach
We enjoyed our stay here immensely and would 100% stay here again. The property itself was well kept and beautiful. We enjoyed our early morning coffee on the porch each day, watching the clouds lift out of the valley below. The cabin was very peaceful and private, just like we prefer. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and have their own space. The kitchen had all the cookware and dishes you could possibly need to make your meals. The cabin was a great place to relax and spend quality time with family. Everyone was sad to leave at the end of our stay. The only "downside" to the property is that it is quite an adventure to get up the mountain to the cabin. Four-wheel drive would be highly recommended. That being said, all in our party had two-wheel drive SUVs and with some skilled driving, eventually made it up safely. By the end of our stay, we felt confident in how to maneuver up the mountain (i.e. no one got out and walked). If you have a light car with low clearance, you may be in for a hike. Angelo did mention that there are plans in the works to revamp the road in the challenging section. All in all, we loved the cabin, the location and it being nestled into a nature of a slower time! We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for serenity and the quiet peace of the mountains, with the caveat that they have an appropriate vehicle and some back country road driving experience. We hope to visit again!

Beautiful hideaway in the mountains
We had such a great long weekend. The cabin was beautiful and very clean. The view from the porch was amazing and we spent most of our time outside talking, while our kids played on the porch or with all the fun amenities in the yard. The host was very communicative and easy to get a hold of with some pre-trip questions. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Peaceful (and fun)!
A metal sign on the mantel of the fireplace says, "Home Sweet Home." That's a very good description of the Rustic Cabin. While the weather outside became cold, rainy and windy, my husband and I enjoyed reading by the fireplace. The teens, meanwhile, never grew bored as they played in the loft and game room. Their laughter filled our days at this lovely home.

Amazing Mountaintop View & Peaceful
We stayed the week after Christmas. My two teens had fun inside and out. My wife relaxed and I went gem mining just down the mountain. Great restaurants in Franklin, and very quiet place to rest and relax. Plenty of firewood and very clean. Great place to stay for sure.

Exceeded Expectations!
We’ve rented many vacation homes over many years and this one exceeded them all! The owners thought of everything!! Their attention to detail was amazing! We were hoping for a Christmas tree but got decor in every room! The decorator of this home created a warm, cozy inviting atmosphere! The porch was our favorite with a breath taking view! Beds were more comfortable than our beds at home which made it hard to leave. Kitchen was fully stocked! The gravel was was only drawback and with 4w drive was no problem at all even in rain. Beautiful setting and very accommodating hosts! We plan to rent again soon!!

We really did enjoy the stay. And the view was wonderful even though all the leaves had changed already. It was just the right amount of room and all the beds were very comfortable. Being aware that there was a dirt road the last half mile was not expected, but worth the trip.

Cozy Cabin
We enjoyed a weeklong stay at the Cabin. There was plenty to do in the area that kept us busy each day, on the last day we hit the gem mine at the foot of the mountain and it was absolutely a gem! Highly recommend if you stay here. The Cabin fit four adults and four kids comfortably. My kids had a blast on the property. We would love to come back again!

Beautiful view, beautiful cabin.
This cabin is very nice. Comfy beds, spotless, so many nice touches outside. We did have trouble with road up to cabin. We were in a Toyota Highlander with a hitch full of luggage and 4 adults. The road is bumpy and steep. If you are used to mountain roads you will be fine in normal weather. The cabin really is amazing. Angelo was extremely helpful and easy to work with.

We truly enjoyed this property. We wanted to take our Grandson, his wife and our 4 Great Grandchildren to the mountains. This cabin was perfect for us. Everyone had a bed to sleep in and we all loved the game room. The drive up the mountain was a little scary with it being gravel and rock and really just one lane, but we made it fine. I would recommend this cabin to anyone, the view from the front porch was just amazing!

Amazing!
This is easily the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in. It was kid heaven for our 12 year old and her friend. They loved playing ping-pong and fusbal downstairs, plus the swing, tether ball and teeter-totter outside. Adults spent most of our time on the amazing front porch with its gorgeous views. We exchanged stories while while watching the view change with the weather. One of our friends discovered to her amazement that she knew a neighbor just down the hill. He told us the road up to the homes was in the worst condition he had seen it. It rained the day we got there, so the road was very bumpy. Everything else was perfect. We had a wonderful time.
