    STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!This is a nice home but it needs repair from the rotten board on the porch. The owner will try to blame damages on you to get you to pay for them. We stayed there and the owner is trying to blame us for an already damaged wall around a dart board that has hundreds of holes.

    It’s a beautiful home, with comfortable beds and very nice amenities! However, the location to Highlands was misrepresented on their listing. It’s actually a 45 minute drive, minimum, not 10 minutes as posted. That happened to be very inconvenient . They also experienced a cleaning issue and unfortunately we came in behind someone who brought a dog (no pet policy). The host stated, that the cleanliness matter is/was not their normal practice, but it did affect us. It was a nice trip over all, but we did experience some disappointment.

    Beautiful and charming cabin that was perfect for our family. There were many small things the owner did or made available that made the stay very comfortable and welcoming. We definitely enjoyed our trip!

    The home was clean and beautiful just as was shown in pics. It was equipped with everything we needed! It was spacious and the game room was so fun! We enjoyed the pool table and dart games. We also enjoyed the fire pit and store supplies! It was a wonderful space for our family with plenty of space, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 living spaces, a large deck…. It was perfect!

    This place is very pleasant on the inside, and the outside, the mountains, is gorgeous of course. The pool table is very nice, my kids were surprised a rental would keep guests use such a nice one. 😁 We had a hard time finding any place at all to charge our electric car, FYI.

    Nice house, quiet and peaceful. I think the price is a bit high for where its located. A bit far out there. We've stayed at another equally nice house closer to Franklin for half the price but was not available for our days.

    Beautiful home with a lot of tasteful touches. Great location for family adventures and wonderful dinning choices. Best was outdoor deck for family get togethers. The down stairs not only had lots of things to do, but afforded privacy to adult family members. .Look forward to booking another stay.

    We had a wonderful stay. Maria, the host, was always reachable and very accommodating in our time of trouble when we had to extend our stay. Good amenities. We all enjoyed our stay. The woods surrounding the house are beautiful . We spotted a couple of deer and even a skunk nearby. The house was somehow always very cold whatever temp we set it to but other than that we had a great time.
