Perfect cabin escape !
Our family met here for Thanksgiving and it was an amazing place to unwind and re-connect. Especially loved the cozy fireplace, the well-stocked kitchen, and the pool table downstairs. Everything was like clockwork, and so thankful to our gracious hosts. Hope to come back some day - maybe when we can tube in that beautiful river.

The cabin has beautiful views in a secluded location. Plenty of space on three floors with three full bathroom. Plenty of cooking untiles. Pool table a big hit. Lots of seating on decks for relaxing. Beds comfortable. WiFi was weak. The living room only has seating for four people need to all more. We look forward to booking the cabin again.

First time on the NC side instead of TN
This place fit our time, number of beds & pet friendly needs. It does not scream "pets are here" when you walk in. No odor, no hair. The cabin is somewhat secluded, nearest neighbor is 100 yards away (which I liked) and only 2 other houses on the "street". Bears do not seem to be as big a concern on this side as the TN side. Closest groceries (not gas station but actual groceries) is a 25 minute drive. If you need to get rid of trash it's a 8 mile drive to the town dump. If you haven't been to the area, roads are narrow, winding and often steep drop offs. Locals will tailgate & pass you in no passing zones. Some roads are single lane but handle 2 way traffic, and some areas are gravel, especially headed up to trail heads (like Tellico Rd). Not for the faint of heart. I suggest you have a car that has some power and good brakes. If you drive stick be quick off the clutch on hills. The kitchen has all the dishes and pans you need. There is a good spice rack, salt & pepper was low you might want your own. Coffee pot (cone filters) and appliances all work. Gas grill works well. There is an addictive ring toss game by the grill to keep the chef busy. BEAUTIFUL view of SMNP. Cabin is great, 3 full baths with good water pressure. Light switches all labeled for ease of use. If mapping suggests you take Highway 129 you might want to Google "The Tail of the Dragon highway 129" first.

Great long weekend getaway to the mountains
We were looking for cooler weather to beat the heat, and we truly found it here. The house is beautiful the views were gorgeous. The location was excellent, private, but within reasonable distance of Franklin, which is a very cute town. The house was well appointed, and the pool table was beautiful.
