Cute, rustic place tucked away in the mountains. We really enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights. Not far from stores and restaurants it was a quick drive for anything we needed. Hosts were receptive and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.
No one could sleep in the room downstairs due to a dehumidifier going on and off with no door to block the noise. The TV upstairs didn't work. I wish there had been a heater upstairs because I didn't feel good about leaving the gas fireplace on all night.
Spent a long weekend. Conveniently located near Franklin but felt like it was in the middle of the woods. Nice, clean and cozy.
Everything was wonderful...only being that time of year, the trees were losing their nuts and dropping very loudly onto the metal roof of the carport! We almost made it a drinking game!
We were drawn to the unique features of this place. The hosts were responsive and the kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking our own meals. If someone is very sensitive to smells, I’d advise you not to stay as their is an overall musty smell despite the dehumidifier running. But if you love staying places that have special features that make your stay memorable, pick this place!
Such a charming home that is very inviting. Very clean with everything you need and then some.
Nice cabin . Had everything we needed. Window AC units are only in the bedrooms, this was the only down side. The bedrooms, living room and kitchen got warm during the day.
The furnishings are comfortable, and the overall decorations give it character. The cabin is conveniently located to town and was a relaxing place to unwind.
We really enjoyed our stay! Great cottage and well stocked. It had everything we needed. We would totally recommend this place to family and friends!
We really enjoyed our stay at Stone Cottage Retreat! Home was very clean and comfortable and was equipped with everything you need. Had great communication with Sharalea and Jorge,will definitely be staying there again!
Property was easy to find, close to Franklin but secluded from noise pollution. Cabin was well decorated, clean and in overall excellent condition. Would stay here again!
We spent Thanksgiving week at this charming cottage and really enjoyed the experience. Great place to unwind while maintaining connections to the internet and broadcast TV. Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating to our special requests. The home was clean and comfortable, well stocked, and met all of our needs. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our time at the Stone cottage! It was a perfect mountain get away! Sharalea was so responsive and helpful with any questions! It is a perfect distance to town and Only a short drive from many other destinations (hikes, waterfalls, and the Highlands!) Will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great weekend! ❤️
Came to see the leaves changing colors. Awesome property, really nice. Close to everything, would recommend this to all my friends!!
We really enjoyed the stay! Going in at dark was interesting . I was no way ready to leave!!
Tranquility and close to what ever you want. So thankful for this cottage. Great for the fall colors and Franklin is an interesting place to discover. Your host is the best, anything you might need they are there quickly
This cabin/cottage is exactly as it appears in the listing. The homeowners are very reachable and helpful and also provide you with every bit of information you could need to make the process of check in and out an ease. They have information for areas to visit and suggestions for things to do in the area, provide information about the local grocery stores and even give restaurant suggestions! They provide the necessities like soap, toilet paper and paper towels, cleaning supplies, dish soap, and even clothes washing detergent! They really have attempted to make everything as easy as possible! There is a charcoal grill on site, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor table, and a fire pit area. You can also sit in the swing and enjoy hearing the birds and wildlife. There are lots of feeders on site and they provide bird seed for them so if you enjoy birds, it’s a watchers paradise! The beds are very comfortable and they have it set up for you to be able to stream from the TV’s in each room also. We have a 5 and 6 year old and they enjoyed the cabin! We made s’mores, watched movies, visited many of the local waterfalls and explored in Cherokee. We cooked many meals at the cottage and always had breakfast and coffee there. It’s the perfect setting to get away and enjoy family time or perfect for a couple or 2 couples to go and enjoy the mountains! We are looking forward to returning and are so glad we found this Gem in Franklin!
This is a beautiful property, inside and out with fantastic décor. The location is very private, but only 3 to 4 miles of all the amenities of a small town (Grocery store, Lowes, restaurants including fast food). The location is very friendly to all type of excursions. We visited the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, gem mining, local brewery, and waterfalls to name a few. Only issue we had was the weather at this time of year, hot, humid and afternoon thunder storms. Next time I would recommend May to early June, I recommend this property to everyone. The property owners are very reachable and receptive regarding any assistance or questions you may have.
Loved our time here. Place was exactly as described, loved the wood touches the pupil the house
The cottage was just as pictured. Check-in was easy. We spent 3 days relaxing and enjoying the birds, squirrels and resident chipmunk. Didn't want to leave.
