Cowee Valley Rustic Cabin Getaway is the perfect destination for that special occasion, whether it be your honeymoon, anniversary, birthday or just a break from life. We are PET FRIENDLY (sorry, no cats). Because people have been bringing their pets and damaging our place without advising us they are bringing pets, YOU MUST LIST YOUR PET ON THE RESERVATION FORM FOR THEM TO BE ALLOWED. We are an authentic rustic cabin located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains in historic Cowee Valley, just outside Franklin NC. This is not a modified mobile home or tiny house, nor are we in a community type setting. A private gravel road brings you to our location. Centrally located for casual or hard core hiking with most trails including the Appalachian Trail within an hours drive! There are several balds in the area as well as the Tallulah Gorge and Joyce Kramer Memorial park. Asheville, Waynesville, Cherokee, Sylva, Bryson City, Highlands, Cashiers & Maggie Valley are just a few cities within a short distance drive. We are also local to the most famous ruby and sapphire mines in the state. Fully furnished and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. All you will need to bring is food and your personal items. Beautiful remote scenic mountain view from our covered porch, outside deck or gazebo. Air conditioned for warm climate months, heated for those chilly months. Two Satellite TVs with FREE UNLIMITED STARLINK WIFI and board games for those days you just want to hang out or keep the the kids busy. Full sized washer and dryer conveniently located within the laundry room. A perfect scenario for the average working family looking for an affordable vacation getaway! Please note that the front of the property is under video surveillance for your security.

    Cabin was very clean, owner is very responsive. Driveway is a little steep for a regular car but we made it up just fine. Use the written instructions because you will be lead the wrong way up to the cabin using gps. We did have an issue with the AC in the bedroom but I’m sure the owners will take care of it. The screen porch was wonderful along with the outdoor swing right outside the cabin. I’d recommend bringing extra toilet paper as we couldn’t find extra rolls. Kitchen was well equipped. We would recommend this cabin if you’re looking to be within 15 minutes of Franklin and they have such great little restaurants nearby!

    This is a cozy cabin nestled in a wooded area halfway up the mountain. The views are beautiful from the covered, screened in porch. The beds are comfy. Everything you could possibly need was available for our stay. There was even wood stacked in the outsoor firepit. The cabin was clean except for dog hair on the rug in the living area, but this is a pet friendly cabin. Overall, beautiful cabin in a beautiful area. Definitely a place we will stay again. The owners responded to emails very quickly and was available if we had any questions. Absolutely wonderful people to work with!!

    We were very happy the cabin. It was decorated so nicely, with bear and deer. We had several trails to walk with our dog. We had privacy that we loved. We would love to come back someday.

    It was very beautiful and the host were awesome. I didn't really care for the driveway much. It was very scary and very narrow. It is not good for small cars. It can be very slippery.

    This was a perfect getaway to calm my busy life. The cabin was very nice, and everything was clean and tidy. I loved the area. We saw several waterfalls and went to the gem mine.The host, Jeff Warshaw, was very kind and provided all the information I needed to have a great stay. I sure hope I get a chance to go back. There is so much more I want to see, and the peacefulness of this cabin is a great place to restore my sanity from the hustle and stress of life.

    We loved the cabin! It had everything! The yard was so relaxing. We thought we would have more of a “view” rather than mostly trees. Still it was beautiful. We’re thankful to have been there. Our host was very accommodating with detailed directions to the cabin. Yes, gps will lead you wrong. Thank You Jeff.

    The sun sets and and sun raises were a slice off of a magical tale. The nights under the cool breeze on the cabin porch made for a wonderful vacation and much needed one. 10 out of a 10 I would recommend.

    Our stay at Jeff and Eva’s cabin was everything we needed and more. The cabin was clean, stocked with everything we needed, and provided us with the privacy and seclusion that we otherwise couldn’t get in FL. We spent every morning on the outside lookout gazebo and rocking in the chairs on the porch. We hope to come back next fall to escape the Florida heat and enjoy the mountain life. Thank you once again!

    When I booked this trip at this cabin I didn’t realize it was so far away from resturants, businesses,and people.that’s my fault. Both my husband and I are in bad health. In fact I got very ill while on vacation. Was looking forward to watching movies together on TV. Big beautiful tv but WiFi was spotty. And that’s putting it mildly. We finally cut the tv off and just read and rested.

    We started visiting Franklin NC when my 8 year old daughter told me all she wanted for Christmas was a rock collection. She is currently 23 and i cherish the memories made with my family in these mountains. This property is now part of my heart.
