We are just ten minutes from downtown Franklin which offers many interesting shops and museums, including the Ruby City Gem Museum and the only Scottish museum in the U.S. There are many wonderful events in Franklin, including a free concert for all the family called Pickin' on the Square from May to October. There is a family arcade called The Factory, the Whistle-stop Antique Mall, and movie theaters.
The surrounding area offers many outdoor recreational opportunities including hiking in the National Forests, tubing on the Little Tennessee River, gem mining (at least five gem mines within fifteen minutes from your vacation spot.)

We just have had a couple write an awesome ballad that describes the sweeping feel and splendor of what one would find at our Little Slice of Smokey Mountain Heaven cabin! Please, enjoy reading Daniel Shea's poem which is very much what one will find and enjoy during their stay!

POEM by Daniel E. Shea
Slice of Heaven Cabin, I see the mountain tops kissing the sky,
And I see God's creation and wonder how and why

The valley's glorious panoramic view unfolds below,
Partially covered in white gauzy clouds, an amazing soft tableau.

As the Bumblebees busily buzz happy and carefree.
While hummingbirds dart in and out feasting on rose red flower honey,

I listen to the sound of the rain's pitter patter and the rolling thunder that is God's symphony,
And, ponder the thought of this world in perfect harmony,

The evergreen trees swaying in the cool breeze in a gentle dance,
Everywhere is God's rays of light and the sunbeam's glance.

As the sun peeks over the mountain with golden light,
Bringing warmth and dispelling the cold air night,

I can feel a soothing mountain misty balm,
That surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,

The church bells chime, and their sound is so pious,
And, I sing out, Glory to God in the highest,

In this serene retreat, my worries cease,
In the mountains embrace, I find my peace,

Oh, how the world seems perfect from this height,
A slice of heaven bathed in morning light,
Here, at the cabin, my soul takes its rest,
For in this tranquil moment, I'm truly blessed.

That surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,

DES 05/04/2025

The above gift of love was unsolicited but rings of essence of how Robin and I feel each and every time we stay at our mountain hideaway.

UPDATE: The above awesome poem that has become a ballad brought forth and created on our covered porch - Daniel E. Shea - our friend and guest. Since this ballad came to light - Daniel - has put this poem to music and has granted permission
to place his awesome song 'Slice of Heaven Cabin' about our cabin within our VRBO web page!! Please, feel free to enjoy his essence of cabin serenity and peace overlooking Iotla Valley and the distant Highland Mountains.

    We had a great stay here with our kids for Easter break. It is the perfect location for exploring the Smokey Mountains and surrounding forests. Everything about the property is as listed and there were no surprises. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make a great meal, and there were plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, and blankets to go around. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxed. We would definitely stay again!

    We came for the view but found home like amenities and comfort. The house was clean, towels were soft, plenty of bedding and there were lots of conveniences like enough hand soap, dish detergent, dish cloths etc etc. The hosts were great at communication and you can tell they love to share the experience with others. We hope to come back in the summer.

    The host Mr. Mike and Ms.Robin are the best.What stood out..The mountain view its like nothing we ever experienced. To sit on the front porch for hours on hours. The amenities were fantastic, good WiFi, if your a person that streams everything there something for everyone Very easy to find with GPS. If I could give a 10* I would. Communication with Mr. MIKE was fantastic ,he got back with me on every question I had. The house just make you feel at home the minute you walk in.

    My wife and I had a great mini week vacation. Took advantage of all the slice of Heaven cabin's amenities. Wood burning fire place in the morning and evenings. The barbecue grill cooked up steaks, country pork ribs, steel trout salmon, and beef ribs. Beds soft as clouds. Every day, we took road trips on back mountain roads to places like Dillsboro, Haynesville, Blairsville, Clayton, and Murphy. Lastly, we soak in the beauty of the gold, orange, yellow, and brown Autumn majestic mountains. The last day, Saturday, we just kicked back and watch the Macon county Airport airplanes take off and land. Of course, all thos while enjoying the valley's panoramic view unfold below from sunrise to sunset. Church bells rang out below. We're ready for our 3rd visit next spring. This is a cabin to write home about.

The kitchen was well equipped. The hosts were amazing! It was really nice having laundry facilities on site. We didn’t have a pet, although it is pet- friendly.

    The cabin is truly a Slice of Smokey Mountain Heaven. It is clean, comfortable, well kept, well stocked, and the hosts are kind and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch taking in the beautiful view, watching planes take off and land at the airport, listening to the church bells ring out melodic hymns, and observing the abundant wildlife. There is so much to see and do in the area. A vacation stay here can be as quiet and peaceful, or as busy and active as you like. We highly recommend a stay at this cabin.

The view looking down onto the valley is amazing, fantastic and spectacular.One day we just stayed at the cabin and took a short walk. All of a sudden four deer ran out of the woods and ran across our path. Bumble Bees, Hummingbirds, and rabbits everywhere. Nature at its best. So glad we found this cabin and now is on the top of our A.

    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.

    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!!
