About this property

Couples Paradise: Sunset & Starry Nights Await!

This cabin is tucked in the mountains of beautiful Franklin, N.C. It has the comforts of home & yet is a great getaway from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Relax & breathe fresh mountain air while listening to Mother Nature sing! A magical place to sit back and take it easy. And while out, enjoy exploring beautiful sceneries of Western Carolina along with enjoying a variety of fun activities all around.

Cowee cabin has a beautiful view of ever changing sunsets & a majestic starry sky. It’s nestled around the forest where nature plays. Enjoy wildlife, amazing skies and beautiful tree filled mountains! It’s a perfect place for one or two(2)people with one bedroom that has a king-size bed and it has two bathrooms. There’s a modern kitchen equipped with supplies for light cooking. There’s a comfortable couch to sit and enjoy the view, outside fire-pit, rocking chairs on the porch, and lounge chairs too. There’s internet(Wi-Fi) service. A television is in the bedroom w/a dvd player for watching movies to fall asleep by if you don’t feel like listening to the katydids sing. There is no cable (Roku) to keep you glued to a screen, so there's plenty of time to go out and enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty that’ll surround you. With a No Pet Policy and No Smoking Policy, it’s feasible for those who have allergies. A sample lease agreement is provided before booking and a copy of your driver's license to confirm your age and identity for insurance purposes is all the paperwork involved. There are outdoor security cameras used mainly to capture wildlife. This cabin is near the road and has easy access yet still nestled in the forest and is a great place to unwind and finish that book you've been meaning to read! Or maybe it’s just time to relax & call it your happy place

Hi Wesley, The cabin uses mountain well water with natural minerals and a filtration system. We monitor and adjust the system to maintain water quality, as natural factors such as water tables and weather conditions can occasionally affect mountain water We’re always happy to assist during a stay and encourage guests to reach out so we can quickly take care of anything that may arise. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again

The cabin was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed the ability to have an indoor fire that was easy to use along with the option to do a fire outside with tons of firewood. Everything was clean and the view was incredible! (Even got to see some deer after throwing some corn out in the morning). The grill is a charcoal grill so if planning on grilling bring charcoal. There is a griddler panini press that you can use as well.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We stayed for a week. Great location, convenient to Franklin, Highlands, Bryson City, Nantahala NF. Rooms are very clean with a well appointed kitchen - cozy, but not cramped - plenty of space to stretch out. The best part was relaxing on the porch to watch the sunset over the mountains each evening. Definitely recommend the experience!

Lovely cabin and property

We had an amazing stay. The cabin was extremely clean and comfy. The view of the mountains was beautiful, and the wooded drive was lovely as well. The location was a great home base for checking out Franklin, Bryson City, and Sylva. And to top it all off, the host is extremely kind and quick to respond. 10/10 we had a perfect trip!

About the host

Hosted by Areti Toula Clark

Host profile image
I grew up in Cowee Valley; it's my home sweet home. I love the mountains and want to spend as much time back home as I can. So, the cabin was built so I could come back home. While I'm not there, I share my special little cabin with you.

Why they chose this property

The land that the cabin is built on has been in my family for generations. A little old white cabin used to sit near the existing cabin which belonged to my great-grandmother. Growing up in Cowee Valley and missing the presence of her cabin, encouraged me to build this cabin near where the other used to stand. My parent's home is a stone's throw away from the cabin as well as other family members, so, it's a great place for me to take a break, relax and visit family. I love my special cabin and want to share my favorite getaway with you.

What makes this property unique

The cabin was custom built with pure love. It has a beautiful roadside and its forest is home of lots of wildlife.

Franklin and the surrounding area is loaded with beautiful sightseeing, specialty shops, and fun activities. You really have to see the beauty for yourself!
