About this property

This spacious three bedroom getaway is a perfect home away from home. Nestled in the Western North Carolina Mountains, the property borders the Nantahala National Forest and is just minutes from the back country trails at Standing Indian and multiple Appalachian Trail access points.
Enjoy a warm cup of coffee or tea while swinging on the front porch. Create a delicious meal in a fully-equipped kitchen or barbeque on the back deck. Soak in a large tub after a vigorous hike on one of many nearby trails. Warm yourself by a cozy fire while relaxing on a comfortable couch. Or take in the view of the Nantahala Mountains from the spacious sunroom.
Both bedrooms upstairs can be arranged as one king bed or two twin beds. There is an additional trundle bed (2 twins) in upstairs lounge area.
Come explore the beautiful scenic by-ways, hike and bike numerous trails of all abilities, meander into a neighboring small mountain town (Franklin, NC/Hayesville, NC) for local festivals and breweries. Within minutes of Standing Indian, this house is ideal for those seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while resting in a private and comfortable setting. With a large fenced-in backyard, this house is suitable for dogs.

Tranquil retreat

Communications with Robyn was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Last minute changes in travel plans required initial contact with Robyn late in the evening the night before requested check in with Robyn quickly responding and working on a solution to allow us to check in that following day. She even had her husband drop by early morning of check in to blow leaves off driveway, decks and outdoor areas. Home is extremely clean, very well maintained and equipped with everything one could possibly need to enjoy both the beautiful home and surrounding area. The secured fenced in yard provides such peace of mind for those with small children or dogs. Thank you for sharing your well loved home, we are so very grateful and look forward to visiting again many more times.

Fantastic

We have stayed at the Gooseberry house before and will continue to do so. Its fabulous! Very clean, comfortable beds, all the kitchenware you could possibly need, great all weather room. The satellite based internet does the job and if you're a hiker, then you're in your mecca.

Franklin in the Fall

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Gooseberry House! -Everything was great! We wish we could have stayed longer. There is so much to do in and around Franklin and we ran out of time. The location of the house provided us the perfect Fall adventure. The house had everything we needed. We hope to come back to visit again soon!
