Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Very quiet and relaxing. The few neighbors I ran into were very nice. About a half hour from town so take your stuff. Great views. Hope to make it back.
My husband I and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the BEST trip! There were notes all over the cabin for use of heat/air conditioning, extra towels/pillows, and instructions on using the fire place. Everything was clean, neat and easy to use. The morning and night views were always amazing. The back porch is what faces the sunrise so watching the birds at the bird feeder in the morning in rocking chairs was so nice. Can not brag enough about how amazing our stay was at Mammy’s cabin.
Perfect weekend getaway with hubby and pups! A true log cabin, unplug, unwind and enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful views. We will definitely be back!
If you’re looking for privacy this is it!Very secluded narrow mountain roads better be good driver , kitchen well stocked and loved the gas stove. Hot tub was a plus as well as fireplace that was well stocked with plenty of firewood
Great views and cabin was exactly as described. You are literally on top of the mountain so highly recommend a truck or vehicle with 4x4 capability to climb up unpaved gravel roads.
The cabin is at the TOP of a mountain so the view is fabulous. Great sunrise and gorgeous leaf colors surround the cabin and the drive up to it.. Nicely furnished with period antiques. It is cozy so look at the total square feet and make sure this is right for you. Very nice host and Franklin and surrounding area are fun to explore.
Be careful with the drive up! Stunning place, however!
The view is just as described-absolutely beautiful. It is very serene and you feel like you're alone up on the mountain. The hot tub was a great place to end our evenings. The drive is just as others described...treacherous. I wouldn't try it without 4-wheel drive. Communication with host was great! If you are a larger person, you may not be able to get up the winding stairwell to go to the upstairs loft - FYI!
They did a good job instructing where everything was and how to use it. They had a binder full of interesting history about the cabin that we enjoyed. The road is very well kept up with to get to the top of the mountain. The fire place and supplied wood was wonderful. The kids loved having a fire each evening.
This rental is amazing! From its rustic charm to its wonderful history shared through pictures, articles and a summary written by the owner, you will be immersed in its authenticity! The sunrises from the hot tub, the birds swarming the bird feeders on the deck, the incredible Cracker Barrel decor, and the wonderful winding road to the top of the mountain are all just icing on the cake. I highly recommend for a romantic getaway. So quaint and warm. We will return and we can’t wait!
This cabin met all of our wildest expectations of Quiet -Undisturbed -relaxing beauty. Been a long time since Ive been in a place where the absolute only thing you can hear is NATURE . It was perfect for the 2 of us.
We absolutely loved our stay at Mammy's Cabin!!! This was such a great place to relax, unplug and enjoy the nature surrounding us. The adventure starts with the road up to the cabin, which was so fun to drive in our Jeep! If you're looking for the perfect "cabin in the woods" vibe, THIS IS IT.
If you want something remote, peaceful, quiet, surrounded by nature - this is it!! Exactly what we were looking for.
I will say - Wifi did not work at all and service was spotty...and if you're trying to go out every day and do things, it is a 25+ min drive down the mountain just to reach normal roads.
We stayed a full week and only went down twice, really enjoyed the quiet time in the cabin. It has everything you need. Hot tub with the view was awesome! Fireplace was amazing. We did all our grocery shopping first day and cooked there. Lots of blankets and pillows, chopped firewood, kitchen utensils, ice trays.
Thank you for a wonderful week.
This was exactly the place we were looking for! Perfect for two, but could have accommodated another two guests. Love that it is pet friendly! The views were incredible and it was so quiet and serene. Host was very responsive and helpful!!
The drive up the mountain to the cabin is definitely “off the beaten path,” but the roads are well maintained and manageable.
The cabin itself is older and rustic but pleasant, and the porch view was stunning.
Towns and hiking trails were at least 20-25 minutes from the cabin, some slightly further, but it never seemed like a long drive.
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this cabin. It was everything we hoped for. The view was phenominal. The cabin offered the perfect rustic asthetic that we were seeking and was close to alot of fun activities, views, hiking trails, and waterfalls. The host was attentive and polite. We will be returning in the future. We most certainly recommend this place for anyone seeking a vacation get-away.

was absolutely beautiful. I wanted to be secluded and away from the world and that’s exactly what this place gave me. It has a beautiful history and the place is absolutely breathtaking the mountains are gorgeous and the hot tub was perfect. The drive up is a little scary in a car (I was in a Nissan Sentra) and had no issues though but going down is a lot easier lol. It’s a beautiful place I loved it hope to stay again.
With a very busy life and two boys at home, my husband and I needed this wonderful quiet getaway for our 10 anniversary. It was so cozy and comfortable. We loved every minute.
Mammy’s Cabin was perfect for a long weekend away from the city. The cabin is rich in history and bursting with charm! We loved reading the story of how Mammy’s Cabin came to be- and finding our own connections along the way! The kitchen is well stocked, bed is comfy, and the views are spectacular! The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking. We enjoyed cooking, local restaurants, and nearby hikes! It was a great weekend and we hope to be back!
