Cute cottage in great location

Cozy little cottage near Franklin, NC was a joy. Only got to stay a couple days, but it met all our needs. Hosts had a Christmas tree decorated and lit upon our arrival which added even more charm.

The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, such as dishes, toaster, coffeemakers, towels, dish soap, and even shampoo and body wash/soap. Everything at the cottage was as described. The owners were quick to respond to any questions I may have had. The cottage is on what I call the “quiet side” of the mountains in North Carolina, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The town of Franklin is close by with restaurants and a Walmart. We really enjoyed our stay. When we come back to the area, we will be sure to check the availability of this cottage again.

Cute little cottage with everything we needed. Appreciated the extra towels available, the multiple coffee making options and the nice tea kettle. Quiet street and great heating! Be aware that the bathroom ceiling is quite low. My son who is just over 6 foot nearly couldnt stand up in it.

While we were in the beautiful NC mountains for family business and not vacation pleasure, the location and the hosts made our hectic visit very nice. It was comforting to return to hospitable surroundings and attentive hosts each day.
