    What a beautiful place to stay. We stayed in the cabin with family and made memories to last a lifetime. The property went above and beyond what we anticipated and we cannot wait to come back. We appreciated the grill and the hot tub as well as the fun outdoor spaces while the kids played on the woods. 5 star!

    We had a great time at this cabin. It had everything you needed for a week stay. Club house was a great addition for the family. Perfect location to travel to national landmarks. Highly recommend this location.

    This property was amazing and the kids loved the lodge. Had a great time playing games and swimming. We had Christmas visitors which included around 10 deer and a very nice mature buck! Highly recommend this property!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Franklin's Tower. The house was inviting and comfortable and since we had families at the cabin next door, we enjoyed the easy back and forth between cabins. We could tell that the cabin hadn't been used in a while as there were dead flies in the bedrooms and living room that we needed to vacuum. Also, the house had a strange smell to it - maybe mothballs?

    The property is in a wonderful location, very beautiful! The house was perfect for our family of 8. I would only note that some areas could have been cleaned better, especially the floors. Great place!

    Did not realize when you book the location desired that there would be multiple identities charging you for your stay you get one email telling you the amount and then you get charged a whole different amount which of course is a lot higher

    Great place, clean. Driveway is pretty steep. Beds could be upgraded, squeezed and roll to the center. Also could use room darkening shades in the bedrooms. Wildlife right outside out window. Turkeys and deer.
