Great home in great location
We stayed three nights and it’s the perfect location to hit all the great spots from Clayton to Gatlinburg. Would definitely stay at this house again. House is big, but still cozy. Enjoyed a night on back porch with fire pit.

Great cabin!
We had a wonderful long weekend at this beautiful house. It’s a great location with a lot of privacy, but not far from downtown Franklin. My son and daughter in law just moved to this area and we are looking forward to many more visits and will definitely try to book this house again.

Easter Weekend
Cabin was really nice with comfy beds in a nice quiet area in a gated community. Since it was a short trip, we didn't cook but most restaurants are within a 20-minute drive we preferred dining in Clayton GA.

Amazing home
The home was amazing. Very nice and quiet. The home had everything you need with great views and amenities. Great communication with the property manager throughout as the gate code had changed and gps didn’t get you there so their guidance was very helpful.

Waterfall Hunting
The property was beautiful, clean with amazing views. We mapped out 16 waterfalls and at the end of the day we relaxed at this beautiful cabin, grilling out food and enjoying wine beside the fire pit with amazing views of the mountains. We hated that we didn't stay longer!!!!

Excellent Stay
My husband and I stayed at the property in December 2022 and throughly enjoyed it. The house is well laid out and has some great amenities, including the large jet tub with a view, outdoor porch with gas fire pit and a gas grill, and the indoor fire place. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch! Even though it was just 2 of us, it was extremely spacious and a very quiet neighborhood. The location is great, with plenty of restaurants within 20-25 minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! We plan to return again!

I must say that the cabin was perfect!!!Our host Lin was there to welcome us and make sure we have everything we needed. He was there for us always with a smile and caring attention. He is a wonderful and kind person. Thanks Lin for all you did for us!!! The cabin is very clean, and have everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The views and the peace was what we were looking for. Our 4 legged babies enjoyed the vacations. Definitely we will return.

Just ok
Was expecting a lot more from this property. Although the photos do it justice- lots of fake floral arrangements, bears, and decorations- not our aesthetic, but if you like that- this is your place. Needs new bath towels- snagged and smelled mildewed. Could have been a tad bit cleaner- kitchen was laking sharp knives for cooking and a few more pots. Overall it was just an ok visit.

Homey Luxury in the mountains
This cabin-chalet is beautifully constructed and very well decorated and has all the extras you could want. Although it is in "neighborhood" and shares a small cul-de-sac with two other homes, once you enter the front door you have a very private feel. My personal favorite was the private balcony off of the upstairs master! Georgeous view and peaceful. Well located for outdoor exploration as well. Lin was a gracious host and easy to communicate with.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Nice place, though a little misguided
Overall, enjoyed our stay. However, two photos in the listing are a tad misleading. The house is pctured as being by itself and very private at the end of a lane. In reality, it is part of a three home subdivision and is very close to two other large homes. Also, the beautiuful distant mountain views are only largely available from one bedroon upstairs.

Absolutely beautiful
We are from Florida so the chalet we stayed at was completely different from what we’re used to. It was beautiful driving up to it and the view was spectacular. It was close to alot of beautiful waterfalls that we got to go see and in a nice quiet town. We went gem mining and found a lot of treasures as well. The first day we were there we saw some wild deer and also a possum in the tree in our back yard. The host had everything ready for us and the house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. I recommend this chalet 100% and hopefully we can go there again.

Thanksgiving Getaway
One of our best mountain getaways yet! The cabin was clean and cozy. Had everything we needed for our stay as a family with 3 kids and a small dog with us. The master bedroom downstairs has an amazing bathroom and walk in closet, and access to the balcony. Beautiful views! And the owner had it decorated for Christmas which we loved!! There’s not much room for dog walking but we made it work with the small grassy area there is. It is in a neighborhood and very close to other homes, not secluded as the pictures kind of give off, but it didn’t matter! The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We only seen the neighbors once right when we got there. We loved everything about this cabin and plan to go back to it again!!

Incredible Experience
Absolutely WONDERFUL property and experience. I have stayed in many properties listed on VRBO and by far this was the most seamless experience. Very, very clean. It was decorated for the season so it added that extra Disney like, magical feel. My ONLY feedback is that the property manager sent me several back to back texts after 10pm the night before my stay. The texts were beautifully written but I felt the timing of the communication was inappropriate for business. Of course he/she would have no idea I was catching a plane at 4am that next morning…. But I was super annoyed by the timing of that correspondence. Once I told them, they understood, apologized and communication from there was great.

Amazing Views
I was traveling with my sister and her husband to relax, see the fall leaves and check out some water falls. We were not disappointed with any of it. The cabin, although nestled on a cul-de-sac with two other cabins, still felt secluded. There was enough yard between them to allow privacy on balconies. This cabin was perfect for our group. My sister and her husband took the master bedroom on the main floor and I took the upstairs where there were 2 bedrooms and a bath and my own private balcony to take in the incredible views and sunrises. The cabin was extremely clean and the host Lin was so good about communication. He would always respond quickly. To call this place a cabin though is kinda selling it short, it definitely had a cabin feel but was also very chic. We were not disappointed with the amenities (there was a real cork screw) if we were to say anything negative it would be that we would have liked to be a little closer to Franklin. Although the description say Franklin its actually in Otto. However, the views and the cabin cleanliness and ease in finding and parking definitely made up for any small discrepancies regarding location. I have been suggesting this place to other family and friends. Well worth the money.

Great Place to Stay
This house was perfect for 4 adults and a child. There were two master bedrooms with beautiful views. The smaller room was perfect for our young guest. She loved it! The house had everything we needed and is close to town in Franklin, NC. It was a very quiet retreat in the mountains. We loved hanging out on the back deck in the evenings.
