Franklin Girl’s Trip

We enjoyed our stay in Franklin. The house was easily located to all the attractions and Franklin. The home was comfortable and clean with beautiful decks to enjoy. I think I saw a ground hog! Debe was readily available by text to answer any questions and attraction suggestions. I highly recommend this listing.

Cute place!

Sweet house! This has just about anything you could think of and a well stocked cooking kitchen. The back deck was a perfect hangout under the canopy of trees with the little waterfall sounds. Owners were quick to respond to any questions and there is a book telling house to use everything too. Would stay again!

Wonderful New Year's Getaway❤️

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was a dream to prepare meals and we enjoyed the variety of space on the property. It rained a lot while there so we were unable to really enjoy the outside but took advantage of the game cabinet. Communication was excellent and location was perfect. We hope to stay again.

Holiday together

Our Adult family members all got together to celebrate Christmas together a little late. The kitchen itself is amazing and we had a good time cooking together. The bedrooms were set up so that we each had nice private areas, but also large gathering spaces. We really enjoyed our time together!

Great Mother’s Day

Our stay at this location could not have been more perfect. The house was very comfortable. We celebrated our 98 year old mother who was in a wheelchair. We had no problems navigating her around the area. There is also a very spacious, comfortable studio. The deck on the back side of the house was big enough for all our family to sit and visit. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard. I would recommend this house for an enjoyable vacation.

Wonderful place to stay

We spent four nights at this VRBO which is very convenient to downtown Franklin. We had six adults, an aunt and two nieces plus husbands. These owners really know how to run a VRBO. Spacious home with a fully stocked kitchen. Perfect for 6 people (plus another bed). Checking in and out were both very simple. These owners have thought of everything you might want and have provided it. Highly recommend that you spend some time at this VRBO. Couples were from Hickory, NC, Concord, NC & N. Myrtle Beach, SC.

Franklin’s Gem

Our visit to 1660 was everything we needed and more. The home was meticulously cared for and perfect for our family. My parents enjoyed having their own space in the studio. Both the kids loved the basketball, volleyball and corn hole. The location of this home is very close to downtown Franklin while also close to trails and other adventurous activities. The hosts of this home are extremely responsive, informative and accommodating! Could not speak higher of them! Thank you for a lovely NC mountain getaway!

Why they chose this property

We are just outside of town yet on the road to the famous gem mines. We are located on the highway to the famous Tail of the Dragon! It is considered “the destination” for thousands of motorcycle and sports car fans throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Can you brave it? It’s best to be cautious as the turns are tight, but the Tail of the Dragon is guaranteed to be the ride of your life.
