Great place to run away to

Absolutely loved this tiny home in the mountains. Everything was fresh and new and clean. The views were stunning. The location was quiet, but close to shops and gem mining. We look forward to renting this comfy cabin again soon.

Very clean and great views!

We love this property. This is our second visit. The house is new and very clean and nice inside. There is a back deck with a great view of the mountains. I have seen deer and turkeys from the back deck. The hot tub is great to get in on the chilly mornings and relax. I will definitely come back. Mandy the caretaker was very responsive and made sure all was in order for us.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Bowman

Host profile image
My name is Kate and my husband Trevor and I live in Miami. We travel to North Carolina a few times a year to get away from the crazy city we live in. We bought The Mountain Gem in 2023 and our dream of owning a mountain home became a reality. We fell in love with Franklin and are so excited to share our home with you. We love hiking and being surrounded by nature. We wish we could come more often but when we can't, we live vicariously through our guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is quiet, cozy, and the sunsets stole out hearts. The mountain views are a dream come true!

What makes this property unique

We wanted a place to travel with our pets that people would feel right at home at. We hope we have created that for all of our guests.
