VEHICLE Note: Due to the Mountain Top Location,
We recommend All Wheel Drive All Terrain tires (AWD) 4 Wheel drive (4WD) vehicle to come up the mountain to keep the roads is good condition and prevent difficulty getting to our home. Please plan to arrive before dark to make to trip up for the first time and keep your speed around 15 mph and take wide turns that have elevation changes.
Was a little apprehensive when booking cabin and reading 4x4 is a must. However after ascending the mountain the house and view was fantastic! My family and I had one of the most special Christmas gatherings ever. House is large and enough space for everyone.
The view of the mountains and fall trees was breathtaking! The cabin itself was cozy and well equipped with all the comforts of home. The owner was very attentive and helpful! Was the perfect fall mountain getaway! Highly recommended!
Unbelievable view, which we enjoyed each morning and evening on the porch. House was great and very comfortable. Would recommend a four wheel drive vehicle to reach the top, but well worth the trip and actually a fun drive up and down. If you want to get away from everything and enjoy the mountains, this is the place to come. We would definitely recommend this place to stay.
great week in the mountains. worked from the house for the week so can confirm that wifi is strong enough to support two working parents while the kids played on their devices (when they weren't out hiking).
Up to date home. At or hear the top of a mountain with clear views over a beautiful valley and nearby mountains. Two zone heat and air conditioning. Comfortable bedrooms. The road leading up to the home is compact gravel. Highly recommend any 4 wheel vehicle. Owner was very accessible and eager to please. A new large supermarket is nearby as well as the town of Franklin. Very worth considering.
House is lovely, view beautiful. Getting to it however is like taking your life in your hands. Website pic is gravel road but straight up. Makes you think the house is at the top of the hill. Description says steep gravel “road”. What it does not say is it is a minimum of a slow 20-25 minutes, due to multiple sharp, steep switchbacks, more like a mud and gravel path, which is narrow and fit for one vehicle only, full of deep ruts and some washed out areas. We were in a 4 WD. Can’t imagine transversing it in the dark. And the 9 miles to Highlands must be as the crow flies. It’s a good 35-40 minutes from driving down the path until you get to Highlands. Sorry to say(as the house is beautiful) we did not stay and had to book something else that evening for the rest of our trip. Did not feel safe on the drive up or down.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The view is amazing and the property is well cared for, clean, and really well done. Communication with the owner was great. We highly recommend for anyone looking to get away, have a good view, and still have access to Highlands and everything this area has to offer.
fantastic views & great property
The best house we’ve ever stayed at on VRBO
The property itself is great;/but —the road up the mountain is tougher then expected.
We reunited with family and celebrated our 29th anniversary. What a lovely place to do just that! This house lives up to its description and the fresh air and spectacular views will refresh one’s soul. It was a wonderful respite….
