Cozy little cabin just outside of Franklin, NC. Nice front porch with mountain views. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the birds chirp. Very relaxing and peaceful. We would definitely book this place again when we are in the area.

This is a fabulous property! It was so clean and well-stocked with essentials, and Matthew was a responsive host. We loved the view from the porch, and the videos of driving up to the Loft helped us not get lost! The Loft was a convienent home base for hiking and adventures, and the cozy space was a delight during some rain.

This cabin was conveniently located, while making us feel like we were alone in the woods. The cabin, beds, front porch, and kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The morning fog and the evening sunsets were beautiful. Matthew provided us with all the necessary information for checking in and out. Lots of very good restaurants in town, many beautiful waterfalls nearby, plus a very nice antique store (Nest-feathers). We would highly recommended The Loft if you need a place to stay in Franklin.

Thank you, Mari, for the kind words and for the thoughtful private note about the kitchen. Your feedback was spot‑on for guests who like to cook, and the kitchen has now been restocked with the missing basics (mixing bowls, measuring cup/spoons, spatula/turner, crock pot etc), Appreciate you helping make the place better for future stays, and you’re welcome back anytime.

The host was great, most of all the video of the drive in made it as if I had driven there before. Cabin was very nice, had everything we needed, and the view is fabulous. Cabin is convenient to Franklin and many activities. We love to go see the Waterfalls

This property was one of the best we have been to. We vacation all up and down the Blue Ridge mountains, to get away and relax. We live just 2 hours away in South Carolina. The host, Matthew was easy to get in touch with through VRBO. He returned our communications within a short period of time. Highly recommend it ! The cabin was well stocked of all the necessary items, kitchen, bath, etc. Plenty of towels, dishes, silverware, even spices. The view is awesome. You look out the windows or sit on the porch and watch the sunset. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
