Perfect fall or spring stay

Wonderful property! Quiet corner with beautiful views from the front porch swing! Small yard area, so walking the fur babies is a must. Lastly, the driveway is quite steep so, it’s not ideal for 2WD or small vehicles in the winter months. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely go back.

Absolutely beautiful!

I randomly came across this home when searching for a place for my husband and I to just get away for a little R&R. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short once we saw Hurricane Helene predictions for NC Smokey Mountains and only stayed two nights. Despite this we still enjoyed the time we did have and the amazing view from the front porch. Home was very clean and cozy! Booking was easy and communication with the owners were exceptional, courteous and information was thoroughly given. We loved it so much that we will definitely plan another trip to this exact home in the future!!

A perfect trip

Our first impression upon arrival was "oh my! Look at that view!" The swing and rocking chairs made it perfect. When we entered the cabin, immediately we felt at home. We had everything we needed. It was so nice to be able to prepare meals and just be able to relax without having to go out and eat every meal. Most of our time was spent sitting on the porch. The ringing of the church bells added to the amazement of our home away from home. We are planning a longer stay in October so we can look for our new place to spend the rest of our days. Im hoping to meet our wonderful hosts on one of our return visits. Thank you Michael and Robin Miller for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Truer words were never said. This place was immaculate, which is of highest priority to me and it was the best view we’ve ever had when we did a rental in the mountains. Communication with the owners was easy. They were very responsive & kind. I wish I could give it a 6 star rating!

Beautiful views of the mountains from the porch of this cozy cabin!! Amazing sunrise & stars on a clear night! Close to Franklin for shopping & restaurants, hiking trails, waterfalls… so many things to do. Or just relax & enjoy the views from the rocking chairs on the porch! Michael was a great host! Attentive & quick with responses. Thank you for sharing your cabin!

You Won't Want to Leave the Porch

I was looking for a cabin that had big, open views where, after sightseeing, shopping, etc., I could spend the rest of the afternoon and evening on the porch. This was the perfect spot! The cabin is at the top of a hill overlooking the valley (don't forget the binoculars). Even so, there are homes all along the road up to the cabin, so while it was very private, it didn't feel isolated. I was in Franklin a couple of hours early and texted the owners, who responded immediately and let me check in. The cabin is stocked with everything you could reasonably need and was very comfortable and homey. The listing and pictures are accurate, and I would definitely book this listing again.
