This was our second stay at this beautiful cabin. We started our days drinking coffee on the deck, watching the goats. Since the cabin is located in an area central to several quaint North Carolina & Georgia towns, we had lots to discover over the four days we were there. The cabin itself is immaculately clean, the beds are comfy, and we had everything we needed/wanted for a very nice 4-day getaway. We hope to be back again & again!

Very beautiful cabin, well supplied, clean, good communication with host. Steep incline to walk down to cabin from parking area maybe something should be stated in the property description so if someone is handicapped they would know ahead of time. Overall would probably rent again.

What a great find! A beautiful, pristinely clean, very well-outfitted cabin near Franklin NC. We spent our mornings on the expansive back deck listening to the birds & watching the goats. The cabin is close to breweries, great BBQ & quaint mountain towns. Definitely a “come back here again” place to unwind.
