    This property provided such a wonderful fun and peaceful environment for our family to rest and relax. Great views and space for everyone to do things they enjoy and have peace and quiet. The property is also well stocked with the items needed to feel at home and cook without missing anything needed. We look forward to coming back often. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful property!

    We had an incredible stay at this home! It was immaculately clean and very comfortable, with spectacular views that we couldn’t get enough of. The drive up to the house was a little challenging the first time, but after that, it was straightforward—and the elongated drive doubles as a beautiful hike, which we loved. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here. While we wished for a large TV in the living room and a grill on the second-floor deck, these are minor suggestions that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location is fantastic, with easy access to great trails and close proximity to Highlands and Cashiers, which made exploring the area a breeze. Overall, the home was a wonderful retreat, and we’d definitely recommend it!

    The home was very spacious and clean. We've spent a lot of time in the NC mountains and have never seen a better view. The home and its surroundings are very quiet and peaceful. The home is ideally located to be able to enjoy both Franklin and Highlands. It was also convenient to many of our favorite hiking areas in the Nantahala Forest including Standing Indian and Wayah. Brett was great to work with. His warnings about the road to the house are very accurate so pay attention to his information.

    This is a truly wonderful property. Just close enough to town that you can run to the store or a restaurant, but remote enough to feel like you're miles from civilization. The home itself is lovely--nicely furnished, a well-equipped kitchen, fantastic wifi, and a huge smart TV downstairs. Easy check-in, and the lovely owners reached out in the middle of our stay just to check on us and see how things were going. Very thoughtful! But the best part of the house, hands down? That screen porch, with views for days. DAYS. We probably spent at least a couple of hours out there every single day, from watching the light come up and the fog burn off in the mornings to the dying of the light as the sun dipped behind the western mountains in the evening. Spectacular sunsets, and it was fun to watch the bats come out for their evening meal. I probably took 100+ photos from that porch in the time we were there, each one better than the last. A word about the road: please, please don't dismiss the owners' advice about having at least all-wheel drive, and ideally four-wheel drive, if you're thinking about renting here. After you leave the paved road, it's about 2.5 miles of gravel (mostly), very narrow, winding, and steep. A beautiful drive, to be sure, but not for a sedan or (heaven forbid!) low-slung sports car. We would definitely rent here again. Can't recommend it highly enough!

    The house is a perfect mountain cabin with the most amazing views! The sunset colors last for hours! Everything was very clean and the house was well appointed. The drive up is something but kind of fun in a four wheel drive! We hope to come back!!

    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.
