This is our second stay at this cabin. Everything is amazing! Clean , well stocked kitchen and amazing view. Being from Florida we enjoyed the fireplace and so did our Pup Buster. So nice to be able to bring our dog with us and stay in such a beautiful cabin. Host is great too. Great communicator and responds quickly to questions.

Quite possibly the best stocked and quality kitchen of any vacation rental I have stayed in and the cabin had about everything you could think of as well and was super clean. The view from the porch is outstanding and very peaceful. I had one question during my stay and Daniel was quick to respond and checked in on us again during our stay. Drive to cabin is no problem as well. Definitely a place I would stay at again.

This place is just as described! Very peaceful and has a beautiful mountain view. Daniel is a great host! We loved hanging out on the balcony. Being from the Midwest, we enjoyed watching a storm roll in over the mountains. It was a neat experience! The little details Daniel incorporated in his cabin were very thoughtful and made the cabin feel extra cozy. I highly recommend staying here if you're ever in the Franklin area. Thanks for the waterfall/hiking recommendations also. They were beautiful!

Daniel the Host, was the best . He responded quickly from day one, he had some great recommendations, he was great to offer help if we needed it or if we had questions. He was wonderful about our us bringing our fur babies. They had left treats for them and had dog bowls for them if we would have forgot ours. They also left a lovely welcoming snack for us. I can’t say enough about Daniel. It was like we already knew as a friend or something he was that great. The cabin was beautiful and so cozy. Everything about it was just great. It was like a home away from home . It had all the amenities they had thought of everything from the phone chargers to the shower steamers. All the utilities and appliances were up to date very nice ones too. Comfortable furniture and even lovely throws on the couch and beds. We didn’t want to leave it was so nice. Loved all the different flavors off coffee creamers & tea was a plus too. Daniel is so informative about the area. There are some great places to eat and shop. We loved Graff’s and Anny’s homemade ice cream. We also went to Highlands it was close to go see.We had a wonderful trip. Definitely coming back.
