Perfect stay

We spent Thanksgiving there and had a great time! My sons said it felt like home. The location is beautiful and the house is cozy. The pictures don't do the waterfall justice. Very cool property. Close to Franklin and Highlands and lots of waterfalls/hiking! We'll definitely be back!

Waterfall Trip

The stay was amazing the waterfall is so beautiful the house is exactly as described “rustic “ but very clean a few little things should be put on the Fix list- 2 cracked windows in the dining area and the cushions on your outside furniture need replacing “stat” but this did not affect our overall stay. We had a great time and will be back Hilary

Waterfalls and more waterfalls

This house was very comfortable. Had all amenities we needed. The outdoor space beautiful with the waterfall and fire pit. Lots of beautiful trails to hike in the area. Walking around downtown Franklin always fun. If you like to hike but not sure where to go we always stop by Outdoor 76 to pick up some souvenirs and talk to whoever is working that day (they all know the area and the best hikes for whatever the skill level)

Stunning location

The property is in a beautiful location within driving distance of a wonderful array of waterfalls and the splendid mountain town of Highlands. The twist is that you also have a waterfall in your back yard providing a unique backdrop to the cabin. Overall inside it is spacious and well designed to ensure that you always see the waterfall whether you are in the living room or even the master bedroom. Would highly recommend

Truly serene

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Mountainside sights, tranquility right in the backyard and comfort inside the home .. I could keep going with plenty more, honestly. We held a small wedding ceremony next to the fall, where several butterflies joined. Sat and enjoyed guitar play by the fire, watched movies with the falls in view, from the sofas. ❤️ Looking forward to our next stay here. Thanks Jason! Sincerely, Kristyn

Simply fantastic!

We booked back in August and after Helene we were worried about the location and the accessibility. Shawn was incredible. I must have texted him 100 times about everything and his response time is impressive. He answered all my questions and allayed our fears so we traveled to NC. Getting there was not a problem and the house was incredible. It was well stocked, had everything you could need and a few things you would not have thought of. Dog bowls, a kennel, books, pans for looking for gold in the creek, board games, firewood… and a smart TV for the kids. They had a blast climbing the waterfall, playing in the water and just being kids. Speaking of the waterfall, the photos made it look like a hike down to the fire pit and waterfall but it was right off the back patio. Also, there is a new deer head on the fireplace that was not in the photos… Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Waterfall Lover's Heaven

Rustic home with lots of old character overlooking a beautiful waterfall! Centrally located to many towns & hikes. Host was super with communication. He set up a Christmas tree for our family and gave us a bottle to celebrate the new year too! He was quick to respond and gave great suggestions. Restaurants we'd recommend in the area- Taco Loco right down the street (I know it's part of a gas station, but it was soooooo good), Bent Willow for coffee & pastries in Franklin, 828 Cafe for breakfast & lunch in Franklin, Blue Bike Cafe in Highlands for breakfast & lunch, White Moon Cafe in Sylva for coffee & breakfast and Happs in Glenville for lunch (great outdoor area with cornhole- dog friendly). Thank you for welcoming us and our dogs into your home!

The waterfall and your dog…what more do you need?

The waterfall is amazing and literally off the back deck. Views of the falls from most anywhere in the house. Kitchen well set up. Clean. Stayed here with senior dogs and appreciate the dog-friendly stay. The cabin is right near two others and a steep road so be mindful of that if bringing pets. Stairs are steep to second floor and decks are multi-level, so maybe not ideal for pets or folks with mobility issues. But the view of the waterfall was so unique and special. Communication was prompt. We had an issue with hot water that was quickly resolved and didn’t affect our stay. It’s a vintage cabin and you’re in the mountains! We ate in Highlands at Four65 Woodfire each night-great wine and food! Visited Franklin and enjoyed the greenway for our dogs and the Main Street cafes. Just the getaway we needed. Excellent.
