About this property

Romantic Mountain Top Cabin with Hot Tub, Wrap Around Porches, and Amazing Views

Wow! This is our New Family Home and we are excited to share it with you! Overlooking the Beautiful Iotla Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains this cabin home has exemplary accommodations and many extras.
Located just 6 miles from Franklin Center this beautiful cabin is perched on a mountain top with two wrap around covered porches complete with panoramic views on all sides. Rocking chairs, porch swings and picnic tables provide relaxing outdoor space for conversing, reading, relaxing and breathing in the clean mountain air.
The property is surrounded by farmland and a 20 acre horse farm. No sounds of traffic. Just the sounds of horses and cows mooing. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets lead to a sparkling sky full of stars. The city lights visible from the porches will take your breath away.
In 2015, my husband and I hiked 85 miles on the Appalachian and ended up in Franklin. We fell in love with the area and in 2017 we bought our 'dream come true' cabin.
Whether you are new to Franklin or if you discovered this amazing area years ago, your vacation is guaranteed to be incredible! White water rafting, hiking, fishing, zip lines, canoeing, and antiquing are just a few of the many activities right in your backyard. Just minutes from Downtown Franklin, visit numerous antique shops, amazing restaurants, pubs and festivals. Having fun and making memories is a sure thing! Cathedral ceiling in main floor living space, rock fireplace with wood burning stove and 50” Smart TV encourages laid back relaxation on our super comfy sofa. Ask Alexa to play your favorite music throughout the cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Hawthorne

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased this home in December 2017. In 2015 we hiked 85 miles of the Appalachian Trail and ended up in Franklin, NC. We fell in love with the town and the area and owning a family home here is a dream come true. We have 3 children, 3 grand-children, one great-grandchild and another grandson on the way. We plan to use this home primarily for family and friends but we would love to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

The home is family friendly, yet updated with all the latest bells and whistles, high end linens and amenities. The home is located in the picturesque Iotla Valley and the drive through the valley is beautiful. Lots of farmland and hills. We are only 6 miles from the town of Franklin, so shopping and activities are very close. The home is on top of a mountain and you can see mountain views wherever you look. It is very private and quiet and you can hear cows mooing, which is really cool. The hot tub and the fire pit are great fun for kids and adults. We really love this home and we know you will love it too!

What makes this property unique

Family friendly, but also very romantic. Big cushy furniture and luxurious beds you will sink into. All the latest technology, smart TVs, appliances. Cool furnishings and interesting artwork. Fantastic covered porches. Lots of room for kids and adults to 'spread out'.
