About this property
Full Log Cabin,11 wooded acres near Franklin NC. Sleeps 16 in Beds. Waterfalls.
This gorgeous full-log home is located 11 miles from Franklin, NC on 11 wooded acres near the top of Bench Mountain. It sits at an elevation of 2,785 feet with a great view of the surrounding valley. This secluded property is bordered by the Nantahala National Forest with mountain hiking. The 4,400 sq ft, three story cabin contains: 4 custom decorated family suites, a loft, and 4 1/2 baths. Awesome 1,100 square foot game room in the lower level. It is lavishly furnished with art-work caliber hand-crafted live edge pieces. This home contains all the amenities necessary to enjoy your North Carolina vacationing experience. The Master Suite, called the Buck & Doe Room contains a handcrafted custom king bed. The Bear Den has a queen bed, the Western Room has a queen bed. The Rustic Barn Room has 2 Queen Sharper Image Memory Foam beds. The Cowboy Loft has a pull out queen couch. A wrap-around porch on the main floor is accessible from the Master Suite and the Bear Den, with the main Viewing Deck completely covered, and has a staircase to the lower level deck. The game room (Little Critter Room) has six custom bunk beds, each with outlets, lights and chalk boards. The property sleeps 10 adults in the bedrooms, 2 more in the loft (fold-out couch) and 6 children in twin bunk beds. Our main gathering room in the Lodge has a massive stone fireplace that reaches to the top of the cathedral ceiling. The Lodge is large enough for almost any family gathering looking to enjoy the great Smoky Mountains. The Loft is also a TV room with a 75” TV and DVD collections for all ages and a book library with over 100 hardcover titles. The lower level has a wrap-around fully covered deck. The Game Room has ping-pong, air hockey, foosball, and a 12 foot table shuffleboard. The Game Room also has a 75” LED Mac Daddy TV with multiple gaming console's and game library. This home is a party and relaxation paradise. What we offer above the rest however, is our spectacular property. Sitting on 11 acres of mountainside, we have several hiking trails, swings, hammocks and 3 seasonal waterfalls. Above us is unlimited hiking and hunting (in season) in the bordering Nantahala Forest. In addition to 4 fire pits and a hot tub, we have our own 10,000 sq. ft. Mountain Recreational Deck. It boasts a multi-purpose sand court for volleyball, badminton, and many other games. We have a great horseshoe pit, corn-hole set, tetherball and more. It has a covered Pavilion with a huge barn table. All sports equipment is included. So if you want to venture out for any of the spectacular day trips available or simply enjoy your visit to the Lodge at Beasley Mine, we’ve got you covered.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ricky Howe
We are Ricky and Debbie Howe from Tampa, FL. We have three amazing grown children and two beautiful grandchildren. We built our cabin with them in mind. We have large family functions and everyone has something to do. You can stay at the cabin for a week and never leave the property, or you can venture out to the neighboring areas for unlimited day trips. Franklin is surrounded by world class waterfalls, hiking, biking, brewery's, distilleries, shopping and dining. The cabin has everything you need. Our guiding principle was that we never wanted to live in a rental house; we wanted to rent our home.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood consists of long range mountain views, rolling hills and mountain streams. Every season brings new color and amazing scenery. The Lodge a Beasley Mine has everything needed for an amazing vacation. The huge full log construction is rare and incredibly comfy. The lodge sits on 11 acres of adventure. Multiple fire pits, recreation deck, swings, tree tent, climbing wall, club house, Jacuzzi, zip line, caves, hammocks and waterfalls just to name a few. Sit back on the porch at night and watch the kids chase the fire flies. Our guests say that the Lodge at Beasley Mine is the most fun and memorable vacation they have ever had.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is only 11 miles from town, down a 2 lane country road that winds through the gorgeous river valley. Above the cabin is the Nantahala National Forest with old mica mines. One of the mines has a waterfall and a beautiful crystal clear pool. You can hike through the forest and even hunt during season. There is one year-round waterfall and two smaller seasonal waterfalls with creeks on the property and several trails. We start every morning with a cozy fire in the massive stone fireplace. There are two wrap around porches for watching the sunsets and the humming birds. The hot tub sits on Mount Jacuzzi over looking the beautiful mountain range. We have a fully equipped kitchen with everything need to prepare a beautiful meal for a large family. The Cabin is equipped with a whole house generator and instant hot water.
This is mountain living at its best.
