Hiking, waterfalls, ,breweries, the Appalachian Trail, white water rafting, fly-fishing, kayaking, you name it!
This was the perfect spot for a cozy getaway! The proximity to Franklin, Sylva, and Clayton made it the perfect spot for being in the mountains but close to all the amenities. Highly recommended!
Our overall experience was fantastic! The whole house was so clean and well maintained. It was the perfect quiet getaway! The only complaint we had was ants in the bedroom, but it’s in the woods so it’s to be expected. Overall a wonderful experience and peaceful getaway! We will definitely be back!
Having a 6’2 man staying in a little house was intriguing to see how that would work. Well, it did! Everything was clearly marked, easily reached. Really appreciated all of the instructions on working the ACs. One little item we noticed…and we were aware of being “in nature”, several dead bugs on bedside tables & bug droppings. Even a few on the sheets when we turned back the bed covers. All in all the size of a hotel room with much nicer features and decor. Will definitely try it again when next in the area.
The property was very pretty. The location was a little to secluded for us. There wasn't much to do in the area without traveling an hour or more. No wifi or cell service the entire time we were there. Our hotspot wouldn't work either. Also no cable so we rented movies from the red box. We stayed 5 days and were only left with 2 rolls of toilet paper and 3 garbage bags (definitely not enough for the 5 days). You have to haul your own trash to the dump which is 10 minutes down the road by car. However, the house was clean and the bed was comfy. The views were pretty too. I don't recommend if your traveling with older kids.
We went for our honeymoon. It was amazing nice view and clean. Will definitely be back.
Great trip, house was better than described. We loved the fire pit.
We really enjoyed our stay , very cozy and relaxing , loved the decor and the fire pit and fireplace , we would definitely recommend it to others !
Amazing views and great property! Would highly recommend to anyone. Only thing I would note is the internet was not strong so make sure you have a hotspot if you want to stream movies!
