About this property

Cowee Valley Rustic Cabin Getaway

Cowee Valley Rustic Cabin Getaway is the perfect destination for that special occasion, whether it be your honeymoon, anniversary, birthday or just a break from life. We are PET FRIENDLY (sorry, no cats). Because people have been bringing their pets and damaging our place without advising us they are bringing pets, YOU MUST LIST YOUR PET ON THE RESERVATION FORM FOR THEM TO BE ALLOWED. We are an authentic rustic cabin located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains in historic Cowee Valley, just outside Franklin NC. This is not a modified mobile home or tiny house, nor are we in a community type setting. A private gravel road brings you to our location. Centrally located for casual or hard core hiking with most trails including the Appalachian Trail within an hours drive! There are several balds in the area as well as the Tallulah Gorge and Joyce Kramer Memorial park. Asheville, Waynesville, Cherokee, Sylva, Bryson City, Highlands, Cashiers & Maggie Valley are just a few cities within a short distance drive. We are also local to the most famous ruby and sapphire mines in the state. Fully furnished and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. All you will need to bring is food and your personal items. Beautiful remote scenic mountain view from our covered porch, outside deck or gazebo. Air conditioned for warm climate months, heated for those chilly months. Two Satellite TVs with FREE UNLIMITED STARLINK WIFI and board games for those days you just want to hang out or keep the the kids busy. Full sized washer and dryer conveniently located within the laundry room. A perfect scenario for the average working family looking for an affordable vacation getaway! Please note that the front of the property is under video surveillance for your security.
