Cozy Cabin

Excellent location. Easy access. Parking for at least 3 vehicles. 10 minutes from shopping and downtown Franklin. 12 miles or 25 minutes to Highlands. Home is very well equipped with everything you need. We would definately stay there again. Beautiful location. Internet is spotty which is typical in the mountians.

Nice Stay in Franklin NC

The “Cozy Cabin” is a wonderful place from which to enjoy the Franklin NC area. The cabin is well furnished and clean. The kitchen has virtually every type of dish, pot, pan and cooking utensil needed. The pantry is bountifully stocked with all necessary condiments as well as additional surprises. The host is easy and pleasant to deal with. We heartily recommend.

Quiet, relaxing retreat!

Nice place to enjoy the mountains, the Highlands, the waterfalls, and to be able to sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature in the mornings on the side porch with a cup of tea, and to be able to rock on the front porch and read while enjoying the cool mountain breezes and take in the views. Loved relaxing on the porch at night and listening to the night sounds as well.

Great Cabin set in a very central location. My family had a Great time and enjoyed every minute. Simple to find and Cabin had everything we were looking for. Easy and smooth dealing with owner and VRBO. We highly recommend this location and we can't wait to return. The nearby city of Highlands is just wonderful. We are making plans for our next trip in the fall. A+ A+ A+ We Will Be Back Soon...

So CLEAN!! Great location

We stay at VRBO properties multiple times a year and I was honestly amazed at how clean this property was. I could not FIND anything that was not sparkling clean. Not even dust! The location is great & convenient to both Franklin and Highlands. The house is well stocked with anything we might have needed, tastefully furnished and very comfortable beds. We spent a lazy day exploring the creek/waterfall and another kayaking the Little Tennessee River. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Relaxing

Although we were only there for a few days this trip, we enjoyed staying in familiar surroundings. Tricia was very nice, allowed us early entry because our flight came in earlier than normal check in. Since I was traveling injured, it was wonderful to have everything all on 1 level. Beds were quite comfy, I had to use the guest bedroom due to my injury, had to pile up pillows so that I could sleep comfortably, luckily there were plenty of pillows. Thank you again for a wonderful "home away from home" Gloria & Bob

Everything we wanted

This is a very attractive home, well-organized for renters, with everything one could possibly want. Dishes, pots and pans, tableware, there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there. Behind the house is a small waterfall that can be heard in the kitchen and on the deck. Delightful.

great stay

We very much liked this property. It's not incredibly fancy, but it hit the right notes - immaculately clean, very comfortable beds, good AC, a well set-up kitchen. The area is quiet - we only heard a few cars ever go by - so sitting on the porches, even the one facing the road, was quite nice. Franklin is about 5 miles away, for easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, etc. (though, to be honest, with the pandemic, we didn't take advantage of the restaurants.) our only quibble was with the wifi - very slow, so the Roku built into each of the TVs (which were both nice TVs) didn't work very well.

Beautiful views and location

Stayed here for a last minute trip to the mountains. Contact with the host/owner was excellent and very helpful. Location of the cabin is great and the views from the front porch are beautiful. Cabin is very well stocked with everything needed and is obviously well-loved by the owner’s family. Overall the cabin was nice but we didn’t find it as clean as we would have liked; a bit on the grubby side, like it needed a really good deep clean (for example, kitchen cabinets were sticky, and the coffee maker and toaster needed to be cleaned before we felt comfortable using them). There was a permeating musty smell which is common in mountain cabins; unfortunately it was overwhelming and came home with us in our clothing. The 2nd bathroom was lovely and had been nicely updated, but the master bath really needed some work. The property is nice enough and in a great location, but I don’t think we would stay again.

Rest and Recuperation

We just had to get away somewhere to wind down from our buzy life (and get over Pneumonia). This cabin was perfect! When we walked in, the house was sparkling clean and we were immediately drawn to the porch rockers. It was still cool at night, so we built a fire in the fireplace every night (thank you for supplying some wood - stacked so nice on the porch)! The waterfalls were really flowing and makin' music, so sitting on the back deck was a joy too. I even hiked a little way up the brook along the Nat'l Forest trail. We left wishing we could stay longer. We will be back.

Great getaway!

It was a great location not to far off the main road and had the most perfect views of the mountains! It was very homey and comfortable. It had a stream with three little waterfalls behind the house! Four wonderful porches, Two screened and two open. The house was decorated for fall inside and out! I guess I missed the no toiletries and we didn’t have bath soap the first night, but we made it ok. The wedding we came for was in Highlands and the drive up the steep mountain was a little stressful especially at night. So if your destination is Highlands you might want to stay a little closer! Other than that everything was provided and we really enjoyed our stay! We will hopefully go back soon‼️

A Great View with a water fall...but be AWARE!!!

This house is in a great location. The waterfall out back is amazing. However, this is a very old house with some good upgrades. The old house has potential but the smells are not that pleasant. We had to check out early because the smell of rodents living underneath the house was unbearable. The owner gave me my money back for the one night that I left early. Check in was difficult. When we got there the automatic lock was not working. After contacting the owner, I had to crawl into the house through a window that was left open to unlock the house. We then had to go and buy batteries for the automatic lock...which I was not refunded for. We had to leave the window unlocked each day that we left so that we could get in... The owner was very response and helpful but we will never be back..

GREAT getaway spot

First, the owner has been very responsive and that is always a positive. Secondly, the place is just like your home. Well-stocked with EVERYTHING you need, even fire wood for the fire pit! I thought someone actually lived there when I first pulled up. It was very clean, and the king bed was very comfortable. The waterfall creek behind the house is great, and you can hear it when the windows are open. There is NO road noise that carries back up to the house. There are 3 covered porches and one open air porch where the fire pit is located. I would ABSOLUTELY come back to this place. As far as location to other things to do, it is a little of a drive to get to hikes and other things to do, so consider this a base and expect to make day trips. Franklin is not a hot spot so I recommend bringing in your food and cooking "at home". Restaurants are not plentiful. Ingles and BiLo's are your only grocery choices. Only negative is the Wifi would drop intermittenly and was an issue while we were there.

About the host

Hosted by Tricia

This home has been in our family since 1983 when our parents wanted to get away from the Florida heat and found this lovely 3 acre property nestled up against the National Forest. Many of the walls are 'tongue & groove' pine and the floors are all hardwood - so it stayed cool and was easy to keep clean. We have our traditional excursions - the Craft Fairs, Pickin on the Square, Thrift Store Shopping and our favorite places to eat - the 'pie place'! But the best is just waking up in the morning and knowing the rocking chairs are calling our names. We love to gather here.

Why they chose this property

The National Forest behind the house with the babbling brook and the waterfalls on the property were key features for us. There is that layed-back feeling which beckons everyone to 'relax and stay awhile' as we come up the road.

What makes this property unique

We have all the conveniences of shopping, restaurants and entertainment, but our home is 4 miles from Downtown Franklin and it seems like I am so far away from it all. There are no sounds but the waterfalls, birds and mountain breezes. I breathe deeper and I think more clearly. The night sky is brilliant and it feels like you can touch the stars. The home is high enough in the mountain elevation that it really cools off at night.
