About this property

Creekside Farmhouse Cottage in the Mountains

Whether you are looking for a cozy cottage to unwind after an adventurous day outdoors or peaceful privacy and relaxation, Coon Creek Cottage is perfect for you! Disconnect at this comfortable 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that comfortably sleeps four. Great for remote work with fast wifi with a dedicated workspace. This cabin is ideal for a couple's retreat, family getaway, or friends who are looking for a Smoky Mountain escape. Stay with us to experience the charm and scenery of the mountains. Our 1940s farmhouse was totally renovated last year and has a bathroom with a large rainhead shower. The kitchen was remodeled with new appliances as well as a new instant water heater and new HVAC. The farmhouse has 100-year-old recycled beams and floors. Newly remodeled 2 bedrooms with queen beds. Office with a fold-out couch. Eat-in kitchen with all new appliances. Double oven range, vintage refrigerator, dishwasher. Patio dining with outdoor grill and griddle. The gathering space features a chiminea with a pizza oven. Across the street is a two-acre play and picnic area bordered by a small creek. We also have another VRBO across the street, Coon Creek Too. VRBO#3312950. Although quiet and somewhat secluded, it is only a ten-minute drive to downtown Franklin on paved roads with easy year-round access. Minutes more to Sylva, Harrah's Cherokee Casino, and Western Carolina University. Pets are welcome when our $75 per visit Pet Fee is added when you specify a pet
Midway between Franklin and Sylva on paved easy year-round access minutes off the highway yet country quiet. 5-10 minutes to shopping and restaurants. The entire house and the creekside two acres across the street are at your disposal.
Trout fishing in any of the 30 lakes or 300 rivers and creeks in the county. Hike our county greenways, state parks, or national parks. Drive the busiest national park in America, the Blue Ridge Parkway. Raft on any of our world-class rafting and kayak venues. Gem mine some of the country's oldest Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald deposits. Smoky Mountain National Park, and Harrahs Cherokee Casino are all just minutes away. College sports in season at Western North Carolina University. Visit a culture, a place and a sovereign nation, The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. The area has 16 waterfalls to explore and photograph. Tons of local craft breweries and wineries to taste and compare.

We are a vacation home. We do not rent for construction subcontractor housing as we are not a commercial property with parking for any heavy eqiupment.

Cozy cottage central to everything

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage really felt like home. It is in a great location, central to everything. My husband and fur baby loved the property across the street where they could roam and play. We were not wanting for anything as the cottage had a fully stocked kitchen, bath, bedrooms, and mud room with games, books, and brochures. We would definitely book again.

Cozy Cottage on the edge of Town

This cottage is better than advertised. It felt like a true home away from home. The location was perfect... close to downtown Franklin yet tucked away just enough to be relaxing and peaceful. The cottage was updated and spotlessly clean. The neighbors were all so friendly and the scenery was gorgeous in all directions. We're already dreaming of coming back!

Great

Everything was great. We enjoyed the ready to go coffee station. Our ten month old loved crawling around. We loved the location. Not too far from Franklin but not right in town.

Special Farmhouse Cottage and Wonderful Hosts

Lovely and comfortable cottage. We were greeted with special dog treats for our little dog and wonderful banana nut bread for us. Second day in Franklin I had a bad fall and then our little dog had to go to vet (on a weekend) local vets closed. Our hosts were so kind - brought food when I fell and also provided information on where to take our little 17 year old dog. We loved the little farmhouse. It was a good place to recuperate. Wonderful, kind hosts.

Nice, comfortable little house

I had a lovely time staying at this nicely decorated house. Everything was well thought out and I was very comfortable in this house. I was worried that it might be a noisy place because the house is right beside the road, but it wasn't a busy road and the neighborhood was very quiet. I would definitely consider staying here again.
