Enjoyed this property. Nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Nice views from the backyard. Plenty of parking. Deck was extra nice. Communication with the host (Blake) was good. First time using VRBO and it was a good experience.

We had an amazing Spring break with our kids. Cabin was excellent and was just like the pictures and was a beautiful view and was a beautiful quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxing. ONLY issue we had was low water pressure taking a shower but we talked to the owner and he will get it taken care of ASAP, other than that we had a fabulous time and will be back!!

Very warm and comfortable home, with the extra bonus being that our hosts reached out to us and talk through any questions that we might have as well as all the features of the property. Highly recommend recommended!

This home was centrally located to everything our grand children wanted to do on our family vacation. Zip lining, Scaly mountain, tubing and Lake Glenville. We were able to get Walmart delivery to the house, which was a great help. The layout is ideal for teens to hangout in the basement game room. We appreciated the wagon that the owners made available to us. It helped us move our โ€œstuffโ€ from the car to the house. We dined at Caffรฉ Rel in Franklin and would highly recommend it.

We had a really good time. The house had everything we needed. The host Jonny called the day before to share information about the pet door , the bunk room and AC , and the door lock. Be aware the yard is rather steep in the back. The views of the mountain range is absolutely beautiful. He assured us if we needed anything he would take care of it. Our only issue was with the company the host uses. VRBO finally stepped in to help get fees straightened out.
