"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The site is beautiful and provides many sustainable options for activities and cooking (e.g., hiking trail, parks, wood-fire pizza oven on site). We also traveled with our dogs and will add that the site and the glamping cabin is very dog-friendly, offering an off-leash area for the dogs to run around and a washing station. The staff were also very responsive to questions via text. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning."

Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Smoky Mountain Getaway. Enjoy Seclusion,Views,Motorcycling, Shops w Paved Access

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at the Reagan house. The property owner David was excellent in communicating with us and responding quickly to any questions. The cabin was beautifully decorated, especially the main floor and well stocked. It was peaceful and quiet even though it was in close proximity to a highway andConvenient to Franklin. Great for large groups, and we will definitely stay there again."

Dancing Bear: Top rated on 2 Private Creek acres w screened porch, WiFi, Grill

10/10 Excellent

"Really great property. Well set up. Clean. Had everything we needed. Everything worked. Beds and bedding were comfortable, which is not always the case with these vacation rentals. Outdoor space was lovely. I had to talk my wife out of stealing the hammock. 20 minutes to town. 20 minutes to the very deep dark trails. We did seem to JUST miss peak fall color, but it was still really pretty in spots. Host was very quick to respond and helpful. Rules were reasonable."

The perfect mountain retreat

10/10 Excellent

"If you have to stay in Franklin this is the place. Saying the house is clean is an understatement, everything you need & then some. Quality is everywhere you look. Great location, close to everything. Owners are quick to respond with all your questions. Great place to stay. If staying in Franklin again this will be the first place I'll be checking, Tom M"

Amazing Creekside Mountain Retreat!!! Hot Tub, 2 Firepits & Starlink WiFi!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time to stay here. Very clean and beautiful place. Has everything as listed. Love being by the creek. There is only a tub with no shower spray in the upstairs bathroom but evidently the bathroom is getting a renovation very soon which will rectify that. Host is very responsive to any questions. Franklin is a great little town!!"

'Bearadise' Cabin w/ Hot Tub at Hidden Gem Falls!

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Despite our rough start. When we arrived at the house there was no power. No fault to the owner. There was a massive power outage in the area we weren’t aware of due to the hurricane. The owner offered for us to stay the first night and cancel the next day with a 100% refund if the power issue wasn’t resolved. Thankfully we had power the next morning. The house had plenty of games to keep our 10 yr old entertained. The hot tub and fire pit by the waterfall is so relaxing. There is an adjacent home that shares access to the waterfall but it is still private. The beds and furniture in the home were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We also like they provide a huge kennel for dogs and bowls and such if needed. We brought our dog and he goes everywhere with us so we didn’t need it but it’s nice they provide amenities for the traveling fur babies. The home is centrally located in between downtown Franklin and Highlands. We enjoyed visiting the local towns and hiking. We plan on returning and staying here again."

Riverside Retreat - Luxury river house with 7 person hottub

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, great fishing spot as well. Short drive to Franklin. Had 4 motorcycles and loved it. Awesome accommodations and home theater was a game changer for college football Saturday. Will be back again…. Very close to multiple motorcycle routes including moonshiner 28 and Smokey mountain loop."
