About this property

Mountain hide away with easy access

Nestled amongst the trees of the Nantahala forest, our 2 bedroom cabin is a great place to get away from the world. Easy access on a paved, county maintained road. There is some day time traffic noise on the road, but the traffic thins out in the evening and on weekends. We have a large deck with gas grill.

Very nice cabin, appears to have recently been updated. Well stocked with everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The only downside was early morning and late afternoon traffic, mostly construction deliveries and tradesmen.

It was a beautiful place. Really clean, up dated kitchen. Perfect deck to enjoy the evening. Close proximity to Highland snd Brevard. We saw about 8 waterfalls. Only had to walk a bit to two of them. Thus was great for us older folks.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains of Franklin NC. Clean, well supplied cabin. A great place for a couple to get away. Comfortable bed, and it was in the center of everywhere we wanted to travel to. I would highly recommend this "Happy Place" to others.

College Visit Mountain Weekend

Our family visited WCU and then stayed for a weekend of hiking in the mountains. This home was perfect for our family of 4 - cozy, inviting, and close to what we wanted to experience. It was just as advertised and we enjoyed our weekend away. Hope to come back and explore more of the area in the future.

Comfortable Cabin in the Woods

This cabin is VERY well done. The sheets/linens are very nice and the place is stocked with almost everything. If this cabin had a stackable washer/dryer, it would be perfect.

Happy place

We really enjoyed our stay! Made use of all kitchenware, etc. we LOVED THE PORCH. We mined for rocks and found emeralds, aquamarine, garnets, rubies and several other stones. It was delightful! Also visited the Highlands twice this road is a bit scary but beautiful none the less. People all we very friendly.

Highly Recommended!

Property was in Excellent Condition. We enjoy the fact that it was well furnished with any items one would need and then some. It was nice to stay in a place that didn't have a single maintenance issue. This was our first time to stay at this property and it will definitely not be our last. Thanks for making our stay perfect!

Family Visit

Everything was great. Very nice cottage. Had alot of nice touches . Fireplace was a plus so nice and cozy. Only thing that would have been nice was lighting by driveway. Looked like motion lights were there but did not come on . Definitely will stay again.

Cozy Cabin

Stayed here for a week to visit some family in the area. This cabin was super clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. For 2-4 people looking for a comfortable place to enjoy the area, its awesome. Bed was very comfortable, furniture is also and kitchen is well appointed. Really liked the large outdoor deck. Only thing on our wish list would be a washer & dryer but we made due. Finally wanted to that the owners for the great communications. We will definitely stay here again given the opportunity!

Wedding weekend in Cashiers

The inside of the cabin was clean. The amenities were awesome. everything we needed. The outside of the place could use some improvement. Gutters were full of leaves and many items appeared unattended for quite some time. Otherwise it was awesome and fulfilled our needs for a beautiful fall weekend.

"Heaven on Earth at the 'Happy Place'!"

Potential renters, listen and read carefully: If you are searching for a beautiful and comfortable mountain cabin vacation, please consider this. The cabin is absolutely fantastic and contains EVERYTHING you would like, need and want from home...all the superlatives in the world cannot fully describe it. VERY reasonably priced, the owners are so, so easy to work with. Really, this has not been a "paid advertisement"...just an honest review from two very happy and pleased renters! So, do yourselves a HUGE favor...contact book Al and Cindy and book "The Happy Place" ASAP...you will be glad you did (and that's a promise)! Corky and Debbie Holloway Evans, GA

Wonderful get-away with easy access

We had a wonderful time! We fell in love with this well decorated home in the woods. It was an easy drive on good roads. I especially enjoyed the gas fireplace. All I had to do was press a button on the remote control, and we had a real, propane fire every night( logs are artificial, so no clean-up). We didn’t cook there, but the kitchen and outdoor grill were fully stocked. They even have a combo Keurig/ground coffee maker. Attention was made to every detail. Extra toiletries were available in case you forgot something. The baseboard heater in the bathroom warmed it up quickly on chilly mornings. The cleanliness of the home, especially in this post-covid era, was a big plus. Both Cindy and Al were readily available by VRBO messaging when we had questions. We would definitely request this home again when we are in the Franklin/Highlands area.

Mountain Cabin convenient to Franklin, Highlands and Cashiers

Cindy and Al have a great cabin that has everything you need for your stay. The kitchen has new appliances and is well stocked with all you needed to cook meals. The living area is comfortable with a smart TV. We were able to stream our You Tube TV without any problem. The queen beds are comfortable and the bathroom is fine. There is a new gas grill on the deck. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings. It is partially covered so you can sit outside even when it is raining. The driveway to the back of the house makes it easy to access and get you luggage and supplies into the house. The house is close to the road which has its pros and cons. There is road noise during the day which subsides somewhat in the evenings. We have stayed in more secluded cabins in the area but getting to them on the steep gravel roads can be a challenge. We would certainly recommend the cabin to family and friends.
