The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Fantastic view and so relaxing on the front porch. Had one cool night and the firepit was a delight. The host was very responsive. We really enjoyed the game room downstairs. Wonderful having 3 bedrooms on level with the kitchen. Had an abundance of bathroom towels and washcloths! Fun ride up the mountain and such a private place to stay! No other houses in sight! Will go again!

This place was absolutely adorable! We came up to celebrate my husband’s 50th with our grown kids and a couple of friends and were not disappointed. The view is spectacular. Plenty of space to sleep. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking/coffee, etc. It is a bit of a trek up the mountain, but that is to be expected! We didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space like the fire pit due to rain, but maybe we’ll get back.

Honestly the best view ever. We enjoyed it so much. We almost struggled with the drive tho lol. I guess I didn’t read the description well but this was up in the mountains and pretty steep. But that’s a given to get such amazing views.

About the host

Hosted by Angelo & Tina Tarallo

Host profile image

We are Angelo and Tina from Tampa, Fl. We have 4 kids, Cheyne, Nickki, Anthony, Austin and 5 grandkids, Vail, Quinn, Mila, Neville, and Vada. Our dream was to own a quiet little place up in the mountains for our family, which we finally found. Our dream came true in Jan 2018 and we just love it. We are getting ready to retire in a few years and hopefully use our cabin full time. As for now, we would like to share our dream with you :)

Why they chose this property

We have family up here who told us about Franklin and after a small vacation , we were set to find a place. After a few months of looking we found our place. Built in the 70's it was a run down cabin that needed TLC . My wife and I fell in love with the place and saw there was potential in this charming cabin. Close to our family , a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Close enough to town for shopping and restaurants but nestled in the Smoky Mountains with a great view, fire pit, lots of activities, games and tons of relaxation spots.
