Recent Franklin guest reviews

The place is well located and as described. The road up is a little challenging, especially at the beginning and up the driveway at the end. Nice views and quite place. Do not expect luxury.

This weekend getaway in Franklin, NC, was absolutely perfect for our big family! The house was spacious and had everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. It snowed during our visit, adding a magical touch—our kids had a blast playing in the snow and creating unforgettable memories. The kitchen was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, allowing us to enjoy cooking together. The downstairs room was a hit, with a pool table, plenty of table games, and stunning views. This home truly exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to come back!

Wonderful, cozy cabin experience with all the provisions! Our family loved the A-frame loft for the kiddos, 3 spots for a fire (inside, gas on the porch, and a fire pit for real wood), great layout for time together, and enough space to have your time, too. You could just linger around the house and property or use as a kick-off to adventuring around the area. There were endless day trips from here: waterfalls, Great Smokey Mountains & Appalachian Trail, gem mining, train rides, and many adorable towns. We loved doing this trip with a cabin for ourselves and the other next door for friends. Our kids saw their first snow on this trip, magical memories! We will plan to be back again with grandparents!
