Nice Fall Getaway
We enjoyed our time at this cabin in the woods. Cabin had most everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and short distance to many attractions. Each day we looked forward to seeing the white goats, they were so friendly.

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.

Family vacation
Perfect house for our small family get together! We enjoyed the eating area near the couch area made it easy to include everyone in activities! House had everything needed: lots of towels, full kitchen, and private bedrooms. Located on a quiet road the house has a great porch, with swing!, that overlooks a backyard area visited by a small family of goats! We loved watching and talking to the goats! Definitely staying here again!

A quiet and comfortable stay.
This is a very comfortable and immaculately clean cabin. The bed mattress was perfect and the kitchen was stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking. It is close to a road, but there was very little traffic it was actually very peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch swing and watching the goats. Only downside was not being able to park at cabin level.

Dwight and Helen were wonderful hosts. They were very gracious and the property was beautiful and clean. We fell in love with this cabin and will definitely return as often as possible. I have stayed in many other places, but never had hosts as wonderful and a property as clean and so well kept as the Brendle Road Cabin. Very peaceful...
