We stayed three nights and it’s the perfect location to hit all the great spots from Clayton to Gatlinburg. Would definitely stay at this house again. House is big, but still cozy. Enjoyed a night on back porch with fire pit.

Easter Weekend
Cabin was really nice with comfy beds in a nice quiet area in a gated community. Since it was a short trip, we didn't cook but most restaurants are within a 20-minute drive we preferred dining in Clayton GA.

Waterfall Hunting
The property was beautiful, clean with amazing views. We mapped out 16 waterfalls and at the end of the day we relaxed at this beautiful cabin, grilling out food and enjoying wine beside the fire pit with amazing views of the mountains. We hated that we didn't stay longer!!!!

Excellent Stay
My husband and I stayed at the property in December 2022 and throughly enjoyed it. The house is well laid out and has some great amenities, including the large jet tub with a view, outdoor porch with gas fire pit and a gas grill, and the indoor fire place. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch! Even though it was just 2 of us, it was extremely spacious and a very quiet neighborhood. The location is great, with plenty of restaurants within 20-25 minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! We plan to return again!

Incredible Experience
Absolutely WONDERFUL property and experience. I have stayed in many properties listed on VRBO and by far this was the most seamless experience. Very, very clean. It was decorated for the season so it added that extra Disney like, magical feel. My ONLY feedback is that the property manager sent me several back to back texts after 10pm the night before my stay. The texts were beautifully written but I felt the timing of the communication was inappropriate for business. Of course he/she would have no idea I was catching a plane at 4am that next morning…. But I was super annoyed by the timing of that correspondence. Once I told them, they understood, apologized and communication from there was great.

Amazing Views
I was traveling with my sister and her husband to relax, see the fall leaves and check out some water falls. We were not disappointed with any of it. The cabin, although nestled on a cul-de-sac with two other cabins, still felt secluded. There was enough yard between them to allow privacy on balconies. This cabin was perfect for our group. My sister and her husband took the master bedroom on the main floor and I took the upstairs where there were 2 bedrooms and a bath and my own private balcony to take in the incredible views and sunrises. The cabin was extremely clean and the host Lin was so good about communication. He would always respond quickly. To call this place a cabin though is kinda selling it short, it definitely had a cabin feel but was also very chic. We were not disappointed with the amenities (there was a real cork screw) if we were to say anything negative it would be that we would have liked to be a little closer to Franklin. Although the description say Franklin its actually in Otto. However, the views and the cabin cleanliness and ease in finding and parking definitely made up for any small discrepancies regarding location. I have been suggesting this place to other family and friends. Well worth the money.

Just ok
Was expecting a lot more from this property. Although the photos do it justice- lots of fake floral arrangements, bears, and decorations- not our aesthetic, but if you like that- this is your place. Needs new bath towels- snagged and smelled mildewed. Could have been a tad bit cleaner- kitchen was laking sharp knives for cooking and a few more pots. Overall it was just an ok visit.

Great Place to Stay
This house was perfect for 4 adults and a child. There were two master bedrooms with beautiful views. The smaller room was perfect for our young guest. She loved it! The house had everything we needed and is close to town in Franklin, NC. It was a very quiet retreat in the mountains. We loved hanging out on the back deck in the evenings.

Good cabin, Christmas in March?
The cabin is very nice. It's in a quite neighborhood and the views from the bedrooms was fantastic. The biggest issue we had was the cabin was full of Christmas decorations. We stayed in March 2021. A full 3 months AFTER Christmas. This is the biggest reason for a 3 out of 5. Couple items wanted to share..... -No welcome/guest book. We enjoy these. -hard floors looked clean but after wiping up some water, the paper towel was black. Had to have been weeks since the floors were wiped down. - Listing shows this cabin has a grill/smoker when in fact it doesn't. Was actually wanting to use it but ended up not having one. Lin the owner dropped off a full propane tank which was very nice of her. She reached out on our second day if we needed anything. Seemed to be a very friendly lady. The Christmas decor really hindered our experience.

Lovely house
The house is a beautiful as the photos and Lin was available if we'd needed anything--which we didn't. The view is pretty. The only weird thing was the no trespassing signs ringing the neighbors' properties. We didn't see any people, but the roped-off yards with alarms felt unwelcoming. I am guessing they've has problems with guests using their yards to walk their dogs?
