About the host
Hosted by Daniel Wiley
In 2025, we fulfilled a dream by purchasing our mountain getaway, and we’re excited to share it with others. We’ve thoughtfully designed our cabin to be a welcoming retreat where individuals, couples, and families can relax, recharge, and feel right at home.
We’re passionate about creating a comfortable, luxury vacation experience with all the little touches that make a stay truly special. We’d be honored to host your next mountain escape!
Why they chose this property
Nature lovers will be in heaven here. The area is surrounded by lush forests, rolling mountains, and countless waterfalls—ideal for hiking, fishing, kayaking, and exploring. The nearby Appalachian and Bartram Trails offer stunning views and unforgettable hikes, while the Little Tennessee River is perfect for tubing or a lazy afternoon by the water.
Franklin is also known as the "Gem Capital of the World." Spend a day mining for rubies, sapphires, and other treasures—fun for kids and adults alike. The area’s rich history and vibrant heritage shine through in its local museums, mountain music, and friendly community events.
Downtown Franklin is a charming place to stroll, with locally owned shops, cozy cafés, food trucks, breweries, and weekend festivals. Whether you're sipping a craft beer, grabbing a homemade biscuit, or catching live bluegrass, it’s easy to feel at home here.
The best part? Franklin is a peaceful escape that still offers plenty to do—without the crowds. It’s an ideal base for day trips to Asheville, Highlands, Bryson City, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In Franklin, every day can be an adventure—or a chance to do absolutely nothing but soak in the view. Either way, you’ll leave refreshed, reconnected, and ready to come back.
What makes this property unique
For those mixing work with leisure, we’ve created a dedicated office nook with a standing desk and monitor—ideal for remote workdays that end with a hike or sunset view.
Families love our location. We're just minutes from kayaking in Dillsboro, tubing down the river, scenic trails, gem mining, and charming mountain towns full of local flavor. Back at the cabin, there’s room to relax, reconnect, and create memories.
Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, this cabin offers more than just a stay—it’s a true mountain experience.
