The property borders the beautiful Nantahala National Forest of the Great Smoky Mountains and offers an abundance of exploration. Let the sounds of the rushing waters soothe your soul day and night.

Hike through the Nantahala National Forest right out the backdoor. Or if you prefer the creature comforts, enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable new beds (King and Queen), new gas logs in our stone fireplace, Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV in the den and another in the King Bedroom with Dish Programming.

Conveniently located on the Wayah Road section of Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather.

Perfect little getaway!
Our family needed some down time to rest, reconnect and be together! This home provided just that! Listening to the stream everyday was so beautiful and brought such peace! The hot tub was great and so much fun to have some nice conversation! The beds were comfy and the couches were too!! We enjoyed every minute of staying at this rental! The location of it is beautiful in the mountains, although I will admit it’s a little unnerving getting out of the driveway! But that’s only because people sometime fly around the curves! We cannot wait for our next trip back to Franklin, and booking this house - or maybe another one of Kathy’s houses again! Thanks for a great stay!

Enjoyable stay
The highlights of our stay were the creek, the fire pit and the hot tub. The cafe lights around the fire pit over the little footbridge was idyllic and picturesque. A few things to be aware of : We did not realize that there was not a primary bedroom with en-suite bath- the 2nd bathroom is also the laundry room and located just off the kitchen which was odd but older homes can be quirky- it’s part of their charm. Please be aware the coffee pot is very basic, can’t be programmed and no auto shutoff - takes a long time to brew. Also please know that due to the possibility of attracting bears or critters there is no outside trash bin and you’re asked to haul away your own household trash. The trash are is about 5 miles away so not a big deal. Lovely place and we would stay again.The surrounding area is beautiful and downtown Franklin was also very nice- we made a trip to Andrews for a rail bike tour and we highly recommend that Great communication from the host and quick response.whenever I had a question.

Our Respite
In leu of the huricane, (Helene), we came and enjoyed the much needed rest. We never lost power and were able to watch the "Big Game" Ala. vs. Ga. I won't say who we were rooting for but we were happy with the outcome, whew! We would have liked to enjoy the hot tub more but the drizzle kept us out. ): The gas log fireplace was such a nice addition to add ambiance to our stay. Thank you Kathy for working with us on our stay, my wife had a wonderful birthday. I would recomend this place to others!

2nd Stay-Perfect Again
Stayed at the cabin for a girl's trip last summer and it was amazing. I had been hatching a plan to come back with my husband and daughter (19yrs) since then. Now they understand why I wanted to bring them here. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. The hot tub overlooking the creek is relaxing. The location of the cabin is perfect, as well. Just a few minutes into the adorable town of Franklin with many shops and restaurants. The Scottish Tartan museum was interesting. Lovely hikes nearby. I can't wait to come back and stay again soon.

A good stay
The description of property is 100% accurate as are comments made by others who have stayed here. This home has beautiful flowers growing all around the property which adds a beautiful touch. The outside is as good as the inside. VERY clean, cozy and quiet. The electricity went off for seconds the night before we left. It shut off the WIFI and DISH TV. We couldn't figure out how to reset systems. Maybe instructions to do so would be helpful for future guests. We stayed 7 nights and had the best time at the house and in the Franklin area.

Great place for a quick getaway
The house had everything we needed for a relaxing two night getaway, and the hot tub next to the creek was delightful. The house is much closer to the road than the photos make it seem, and although there is not much traffic, headlights shine into the 2nd bedroom whenever a car does come by.

Nice mountain retreat
We had a nice time at the house. It is close to the road and can be a little loud when motorcycles drive by. The Internet went down the first day and the landline did not work so we had no way to make phone calls and did not have Wi-Fi the first night, which was distressing for my wife. This was handled the next day when the host told me how to reset the internet. There are quite a lot of rules as to clean up, driving the trash to the local dump and basically cleaning up the entire house prior to leaving. Next time we may consider staying in a hotel so that we can enjoy the relaxation part a little bit more. But overall, it is inexpensive and a nice getaway.

Relaxing getaway
Bearly there was a perfect place for us to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was close enough to town that we weren't stuck in a car all day, yet far enough out there to feel a sense of peace. The house was perfect for us. I suggest bringing a large sheet or blanket to throw out in the yard to just lay on and take a nap next to the stream. It was so relaxing it felt almost illegal. One thing I would note is that even though the road is not super busy, it was a bit tough to pull out of, you cant see cars coming from either direction, I did see a mirror on the trees across the way that helped a bit, but seemed to be for the opposite direction. We backed into the driveway and it was awful, but still a bit scary. All in all, an amazing property hosted by great people. We will be back and noted Kathy's other properties which we will also likely check out.
