    This property was nice, quiet and clean. It's in a neighborhood but all the neighbors we passed by were friendly and waved in passing. Conveniently close to town but not too close. It was just right for our stay while visiting family. We would stay here again.

    The place is great. Only issue i might have had was it was not as easy as i thought it would be to get to the river. but we found other places to go. over all i would for sure go back. I give it 5 stars.

    I can't say enough kind things about Cherisse and this location just outside of Franklin. We had a lovely time, the property was remote enough that we were never troubled by light, noise, or neighbors (although the neighbors I saw on my morning walks were also lovely and very conversational), but close enough to town that we had more than everything we needed at our fingertips at all times. Amenities and beds inside the house were more than sufficient, and I am particularly grateful for the supply of coffee I found in the kitchen. Check-in was easy peasy, with thorough and thoughtful instructions front and center on the counter. Check-out - equally frustration free. My girlfriend very much appreciated the small honey bottle - the bear is already placed with care above our photos in the dining room. Book with confidence - Cherisse will have your back.

    The location is quiet and beautiful. The house is nice and the host was fine, but the bed was horrible. My husband and I ended up sleeping on the couches because of the bed.

    We didn't spend a lot of time at this property because we were in town to see family. It was perfectly adequate for our needs and provided a very comfortable place to sleep. Cherisse was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed.

    The property was clean. It could use some updating. The beds were older and so was the towels and furniture. Its ok for a short stay but it also has no internet.

    This property is an excellent find. Everything was as advertised. The location was quiet but convenient for many of the activities in the area. Our family had a great stay. We just wish we had more time off for this vacation!

    My family and I had an amazing time, and the cabin was everything we could have asked for. It was clean, comfy, and private. Yet, it was close enough to downtown Franklin and many of the natural attractions. Cherisse was a wonderful host, who communicates very clearly, and answers any questions. I highly recommend this place, and look forward to coming back soon.

    Oh my gosh such a beautiful place. My husband stated that he thought the home was modern rustic. We came to visit the Whistle stop, which we did and had such beautiful accommodations when we got backe the this house. House was Uber clean and the Host was wonderful. She checked on us during our drive up from the Augusta area to make sure that we made it safely or if we needed any extra help with the directions. The directions she gave were spot on and place was easily found. She has a prepared notebook for set up and leaving instructions that were easy to follow. We all had a great time and will share the VRBO with family and friends. Thank you Cherisse, for a comfortable place for us to lay our heads.
