The kitchen boasts a full suite of updates, stainless steel appliances, plus a dishwasher for home-cooking convenience. In-home essentials include free WiFi and a private washer/dryer.

Quiet and beautiful
Super clean and a great place to stay. It's off the beat path but worth it. It's quiet with just nature. Occasional barking dogs. Nothing close by and the closest place to buy something is a gas station 15 minutes away. Suggest brining a cooler with food.

Great Fall Weekend
Spent the weekend in Franklin. Heaven on the Hill was a wonderful house. Very new and clean. Beds and furniture were extremely comfortable. Its a short drive to Franklin. Spent time at Curahee Brewery, the Franklin Pumpkin Festival and Clayton, Georgia. We will be renting this cabin again. Thank you for a wonderful fall weekend!!

Everything went great. No problems with anything. Just too bad that this week was extremely cold and we were unable to enjoy the outdoors and porches. Very nice. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful place with us.

Home away from home.
We will be back. This cabin/home was immaculate, comfortable, and far enough away from town to be secluded yet close enough to get gas within 10 minutes. We enjoyed all the little "extras", like the fire pit and the two porches to relax and soak in the woods. Thank you for a wonderful visit, we will be back.
