About the host
Hosted by Victoria Valencia
My husband, Jesus, and I, along with our daughters Isabella and Emilia, are from Homestead, FL. There, we run a successful landscaping and design business that Jesus began when he was 22 years old. Always lovers of the outdoors, both Jesus and I have loved to vacation in the Smoky Mountains throughout the years. We started out exploring the Smokies via Harley Davidson motorcycle, but later found that it could be even more fun to do as a family in our 5th Wheel RV.
While vacationing in November of 2020, we happened upon the quaint little town of Franklin, NC and fell in love with the area. Since then, we have acquired this cozy little cabin that is offered as a vacation rental for other travelers to enjoy when we are back home in Florida.
In July of 2021, Jesus and I came across the opportunity to purchase the Franklin RV Park and Campground located just a couple miles from our cabin. Though new to campground ownership, we are confident that our emphasis on quality and consumer satisfaction will create an environment where travelers can feel welcomed and respected.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us, whether here in our cabin, or at our RV Park down the street.

Why they chose this property
The Whispering Pines cabin is so conveniently located. You are close to absolutely everything, yet when sitting on the deck overlooking the historic home across the street, you somehow feel like you've gone back in time 100 years to a much simpler, less hectic, and less populated time. We have decorated the cabin with warm and welcoming accents and have found it to be just the perfect retreat after a long day of hiking, rafting, sightseeing, and exploring.
What makes this property unique
The outdoor fire pit area is the perfect place to gather with friends and family. Light up the fire and grab your sticks for roasting marshmallows for S'mores. We built the outdoor area ourselves after purchasing the cabin and have absolutely loved relaxing under the stars after a full day. On warm summer nights, you don't even need to light the fire; Just sit around with a glass of wine or a mug of cocoa and recount the day's adventures. You're sure to enjoy as much as we do!
