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.

Beautiful cabin getaway, and perfectly secluded without being too far away from town! We spent many relaxing moments on the porch and the swing in the gazebo. I would recommend this stay to anyone!
This cabin is perfect. Quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable living, eating and sleeping spaces. Jeff was great and always responded quickly. We much enjoyed our stay
Great cabin!! We enjoyed our stay!! It was very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed! The outdoor gazebo swing was an extra special bonus!
Cabin was very clean, owner is very responsive. Driveway is a little steep for a regular car but we made it up just fine. Use the written instructions because you will be lead the wrong way up to the cabin using gps. We did have an issue with the AC in the bedroom but I’m sure the owners will take care of it. The screen porch was wonderful along with the outdoor swing right outside the cabin. I’d recommend bringing extra toilet paper as we couldn’t find extra rolls. Kitchen was well equipped. We would recommend this cabin if you’re looking to be within 15 minutes of Franklin and they have such great little restaurants nearby!
We were very happy the cabin. It was decorated so nicely, with bear and deer. We had several trails to walk with our dog. We had privacy that we loved. We would love to come back someday.
Very clean and nice, quiet and a wonderful choice for staying a few days. We were only a 1/4 of mile from the Cherokee Ruby Mine! We had a blast.. Thank you!
Absolute heaven in the mountains & the cabin was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness on the porch & cooking on the grill every night. A beautiful mountain escape, an awesome experience!
This beautiful and immaculate cabin is placed in a quiet, secluded area in the mountains. It’s perfect for a family getaway to explore nature trails and gem mining. We absolutely recommend this cabin and hope to return one day soon!
It was great, beautiful location with very little noise. Cabin was nice and clean and cozy. Would recommend it and rent again. Lenard and Carol Hirsch.
