Loved IT!!!
We got to Franklin a little earlier than expected and contacted the property manager and they let us check in a little early. The property was just as described if not better!! The decor was exceptional! The view from the porch was amazing!!! Sunsets were stunning! The accessability for a wheelchair user was awesome! They were able to manuever around the house, bathroom was great and porch access was so nice. We loved the sound of the stream from the porch. We will want to stay here again! Loved it!

Beautiful mountain views!
My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for our 20th anniversary and could not have chosen a better place to stay! Super clean, adorably decorated and a very quaint and quiet street! The property manager was a dream to work with and the home was just lovely!

What a beautiful place!
Charming home in the most gorgeous rolling hilled, pastural area just outside of Franklin. The view from the living room and porch was lovely. We watched the sun burn off the clouds every morning and turn the mountains from purple to gold. We walked the dog around the area, admiring the other pretty houses and even met a neighbor. The home was clean , comfortable and well appointed. I have stayed in several VRBO rentals in western NC and I liked this one best for the views and convenience to activities, stores and neighboring communities. Doreen, the property manager, was instantly responsive when we ( 2 old ladies) locked ourselves out of the house and with any questions we had. I would stay again in heartbeat!

Summer stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! It was just as advertised—clean, nicely furnished, and with amazing views of the Smoky Mountains. The host was very accommodating, especially in welcoming our two Australian Shepherds. The location was perfect for hiking, and it was close enough to stores and restaurants for convenience. Highly recommend!

The Real Gem in Franklin
This was the most amazing property! The mountain views, sound of the creek, and wildlife are paired with a house lacking nothing to make this a perfect vacation. The beds were amazing. The living room has a perfect set up to watch one of the DVD's or play games. Our favorite places were the screened in porch and the chairs by the fire pit. Our dogs were welcomed and they loved exploring all the new smells. We will definitely be back!

Awesome view!!!
The house was exactly what you see in the description. It was clean, well stocked, and the beds were soooooo comfortable!! The view is amazing! They had both a charcoal grill and a Pellet grill! The pellet grill was interesting as it gave the meat a nice smoky flavor.
Overall, the stay was nice and the unit was priced accordingly! I highly recommend!
