Enjoy Amazing Smoky Mountain View in Large, Comfortable Home in Treetops!
Morning, noon or night you will enjoy the phenomenal view from the multi-tiered decks of this beautiful mountain retreat. Sitting on the upper deck gives the feeling of being in an treehouse. Our 2500 square foot house features both open and covered decks for outdoor fun. There are dining tables, porch chairs and a gas grill.
We are located in a mountainside, gated community with streams, a waterfall, a duck pond and a picnic area. The house is set on a quiet road with a concrete drive for easy access. You can enjoy taking long walks or bicycle rides right inside the gates of the community.
There is a warm cozy feeling in the large living/dining room area with its stone, wood-burning fireplace, cedar paneling and vaulted ceilings; you can see the mountains easily through the sliding glass doors. Our kitchen has everything you need - just bring the groceries. The downstairs family room has a wood stove, 2 sofas and a table for playing cards or games.
The upstairs features a large king-size master suite, with a private bath and doors that open onto the upper decks, as well as a queen bedroom and one with two twin beds. These two bedrooms share an additional bathroom upstairs. Downstairs has a queen size bedroom and an adjoining bathroom with a full washer & dryer. Additional sleeping is available in a queen sleeper sofa and a day bed with a trundle downstairs.
There are so many things to do in the area - hiking, biking, golf, parks, fishing, wildlife, horseback riding, shopping, restaurants, sightseeing, white-water rafting, gem mining, antique shopping, scenic drives, gambling just to name a few.
Nestled in North Carolina's southern mountains, Franklin is large enough to offer most everything you need, yet still have the peace and tranquility of the mountains. Spectacular waterfalls, fantastic hiking trails, pristine fishing streams and abundant wildlife are just a few of the many things available in this area. Each year Franklin offers numerous festivals and special events including Pickin' on the Square which features live music each Saturday night June through October.

Price point is perfect for this place, it is located close to Franklin or Sylva...cashiers and highlands are an easy drive also. The place is clean but dated, not a big deal to us. I would stop at a grocery store on the way in or plan on going to dinner somewhere in Franklin or Sylva...then figure out what you need from the grocery store after taking inventory of what amenities are available in the kitchen. Bring a Candle or two if you are using the basement rooms, it has the old school basement odor. Great place! this was our second time at this location and will be heading back in the future...
Very nice and we really enjoyed the house. The basement bedroom is very musty at first but luckily no one stayed in there. It aired out after a couple of days. We would return.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your feedback, and I will have the housekeeper check the settings on the air purifier. That usually keeps the entire basement fresh.

Our family spent over a week in this beautiful home and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook for our large family and grocery stores and restaurants were relatively close.The beds were some of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on and the view was just splendid! The neighbors dog (Mooch) was an added bonus as he would come and hang out with us on the deck.We enjoyed exploring the many small towns around this area and had plenty to do.The owner communicated with us throughout our stay and answered every question we had promptly. We would highly recommend this home and have it on our favorites for when we want to return to this area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very welcoming and accommodating. The kitchen was like being at home. The decor was inviting. Loved that the Christmas tree was still up. It was a little cold so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck as much as we would have liked so I guess we’ll have to book another trip when it’s warmer.

We had a nice trip ! Owner was great.. we didn’t use downstairs at all .. we had 5 girls and downstairs not needed .. it’s a big place , great for a family trip .. downstairs could use some airing out as there is no air condition (there is heat) driveway was great with a lot of parking and also they had a blower that I used to blow off driveway during the fall .. view was lovely !

Thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed yourself. Since your stay we have replaced our air purifier which recently broke. It does a good job of keeping the air fresh downstairs.
There was everything we needed for a nice family stay. A lot of space indoors and the bedrooms were all nice size. It felt cozy in the mountains worth the drive up!
Beautiful home with a view. Easy access and Franklin near by. Neighborhood is gated and quiet. Plenty of room for family or quests. Foxes, squirrels, deer and bear. Many species of birds. Very enjoyable

The house was spacious, clean, and the most well stocked home we've ever stated in. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The view from the porch was beautiful. We all had a great time and enjoyed our trip so much this summer.

Property was awesome and owner was great to work with. We fed and watched a pair of hummingbirds daily, took walks throughout the private and gated subdivision, played with a neighbors dog that came to visit, and just rested and relaxed . Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

About the host
Hosted by Karla Langlotz
I live in Florida year round and get to the mountains as often as I can
Why they chose this property
After living in Florida for quite a while, I really missed the mountains. I love all the trees, and the views and the cooler weather. I had visited friends who own a home in the same area and loved it so, in 2005 I purchased my mountain house. When you stand on the upper deck, it feels like the trees are all around you, just like being in a treehouse. I am happy to share the beauty and so I decided to make my home a vacation rental.
What makes this property unique
As a person who travels with my pet, I felt it was important to make our house pet-friendly. I believe that those who travel with their pets are responsible pet owners and trust they will monitor their pets' behavior while staying in our home. We want all our four-legged friends to have a fun vacation too
