The cottage was perfect and very comfortable! It had everything we needed. Will do it again!

The property is well kept, convenient to shopping and entertainment, but secluded enough to have privacy. We visited over Thanksgiving, found plenty to do in town and at the cottage.

Great place in the mountains!

The cabin was spacious and fully equipped (right down to the bamboo skewers in the kitchen drawer)! Very quiet and peaceful yet only a couple miles to restaurants and grocery store. We loved our time there!

Quaint Cabin

Cute, rustic place tucked away in the mountains. We really enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights. Not far from stores and restaurants it was a quick drive for anything we needed. Hosts were receptive and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

North Carolina get-a-way

The cottage was in the perfect tucked away spot with wonderful access to hiking and waterfalls in the Nantahala Forest. It was super clean and organized. We had everything we needed. The only suggestion we had was to replace the mattress upstairs. Sharalea and Jorge had great instructions for check in and it was so easy. They were also very available for any of our questions and concerns.

Loved the cottage

The cottage was just as pictured. Check-in was easy. We spent 3 days relaxing and enjoying the birds, squirrels and resident chipmunk. Didn't want to leave.

Charming Cottage

We spent Thanksgiving week at this charming cottage and really enjoyed the experience. Great place to unwind while maintaining connections to the internet and broadcast TV. Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating to our special requests. The home was clean and comfortable, well stocked, and met all of our needs. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful & quiet location

This cabin is perfect for us. It’s nestled close to downtown Franklin, it’s quiet, and it allows you to just enjoy time together. Play a quick game of cards, have a fire inside or out, take a quick trip to the Greenway trail. We’ve stayed here multiple times and will continue to try and stay here when we’re in the area. We’d highly recommend it!

Nice cabin . Had everything we needed. Window AC units are only in the bedrooms, this was the only down side. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen got warm during the day.

Awesome cottage and great location

We had a great vacation in the Smokey Mountains. Perfect location for motorcycling and the cottage had everything we needed. The two window A/C units kept the place cool. WIFI was good and could stream Netflix no problem. Many household things provided which was unexpected. Overall a great experience.

Amazing!

We loved our time at the Stone cottage! It was a perfect mountain get away! Sharalea was so responsive and helpful with any questions! It is a perfect distance to town and Only a short drive from many other destinations (hikes, waterfalls, and the Highlands!) Will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great weekend! ❤️

Cozy Cottage

My husband and I enjoyed out stay at the Stone Cottage. It was centrally located to the places we visited each day. The drive to Highlands from Franklin was beautiful with a nice stop at Dry Falls along the way. We chose to sleep in the cozy upstairs bedroom next to the shower bathroom. We enjoyed using the fire pit several times. It was also nice to have the carport picnic table to sit at on one drizzly morning still allowing us to enjoy nature with our morning beverages and breakfast.

Centrally located for day trips

Beautiful interior, Galley Kitchen fully stocked with pans, dishes and kitchen equipment. It was nice to have extra spices to use. Quiet road and able to walk safely. Short steep driveway that ends flat at front door. Only thing missing was a screened porch to keep the bugs away while sitting outdoors. We used campfire area and having wood provided was great.

Wonderful Visit

We had a wonderful visit at the Stone Cottage Retreat. Stayed just over a week while making day trips around NC, GA & TN. We missed SC this time. Was a great place to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary. Also a great location to just relax and unwind. There are neighbors there but we never heard anything from them other than a little barking when we first arrived. The check in process did un-nerve me a little but we handled that through a phone call with the owner and an e-mail. Thinking about when we can do this again.

Stone cottage

No one could sleep in the room downstairs due to a dehumidifier going on and off with no door to block the noise. The TV upstairs didn't work. I wish there had been a heater upstairs because I didn't feel good about leaving the gas fireplace on all night.

Great family stay

We had an excellent stay at stone cottage retreat. We have stayed in numerous VRBO properties over the past 14 or so years, and this is by far the most well stocked one we’ve stayed in. When they say they have everything you need, they literally do! I brought things with us because I was accustomed to having to do so for the other properties we’ve stayed at before, who would have the basics, but usually be missing some things I needed. I didn’t need anything here, including the cooking spray I brought. I did bring my own crockpot and no clue if they have one; I used mine bc I know how it cooks. Communication with the owners was excellent and I knew exactly how to get in touch if we had an issue, which we didn’t. The cabin is very comfortable, the beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s easy to get to and convenient to travel to other areas! We definitely plan to book stone cottage retreat again.
