Thanksgiving in Franklin

The stay at the Brendle Cabin was a delight. It was totally as advertised, clean, comfortable, charming. The best appointed overall as any VRBO we have rented. We look forward to future stays while visiting Franklin in the future.

Perfect quaint cabin

Perfect little cabin. We’ve visited the area a number of times now to visit our daughter who attends WCU. This has been our favorite so far. Built by the owners and so obviously cared for with loving attention to cleanliness and renter’s needs. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

A Hidden Gem

The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

The house was beautiful. Our boys enjoyed the goats in the yard. The only thing that was inconvenient is the A/C went out on Sunday and we spent a very warm afternoon and night. The two ceiling fans in the living room would not come on. The lights worked but not the fan.

The Perfect Cabin

This was our 3rd time to stay and it was as nice as the first 2 times. We will always stay here when in Franklin. This cabin is cleaner than any hotel I have ever stayed in. The owners have thought of everything. Very Comfortable. Note: There are 3 crystals hidden in the cabin. If you find one it's yours. If you find more than one please leave he 2nd and 3rd ones for anoher person.

A wonderful cabin

This is the fifth time we have stayed here and as always we have had a wonderful time. Dwight and his wife take the time to come and greet us and make sure that all is ok. The cabin is cozy and nice and is perfectly located in the beautiful town of Franklin NC. We recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to just get away from all the stress and rush of everyday life.

My mom and I stayed a long weekend in this adorable little cabin! It was perfect. The cabin was clean and cozy, and every night we returned to the cabin, we were greeted by goats! The owner happened to drive by while we were unloading and he was super friendly and welcoming! We had a great stay and we hope to visit again in the future! Thank you so much

Brindle Cabin

This small cabin was so cute and comfy. We were only there for a long weekend to visit family nearby but it had everything we could have needed for a much longer stay which I fully intend to do later this year. It is easily accessible for this Florida girl who isn’t used to the terrain. The husband has a bad knee so getting from the parking spot to the cabin was uncomfortable for him but I would make him push through it again to enjoy this place.

Short stay

Very nice cabin. Clean and well apportioned. Only problem was the parking area. We were in sports cars and the dip caused us to drag. If you have a regular car or SUV your fine. Otherwise a great place.
