Nice house with everything we needed, in a convenient location. The porch overlooking the creek is the place to be. Comfortable bed and good shower and tub. Not secluded, but quiet. Note: BYO blankets, soap, dish cloths.

Perfect Mountain Family Getaway

Our favorite weeks of the year are spent in this home. Watching the kids play in the river and relaxing on the back deck are how we spend our hours here. Location is perfectly situated for easy access to outings, hiking and restaurants.

Holiday Gateaway

The house was wonderful, featuring a spacious kitchen and a large master best complete with a dream closet. The living room was equally impressive, with high ceilings and big windows. A cozy fireplace added warmth and charm, making it the perfect spot for relaxing evenings. The backyard was beautiful. I enjoyed the quit mornings with a cup of coffee.

Great cabin away from everything!

Beautiful spot with nice little creek! House needs some cleaning and updating, but the owner was willing to take our last minute booking so cleaning could be related to our scheduling. The yard is a little on the wild side, but can be overlooked as cabin charm!

Relaxing and refreshing

We had a wonderful stay! This home is as represented in description and photos. We relaxed just staying in home, sitting on the deck and fishing in the creek that runs around the rental. Scott is a wonderful host and gave us suggestions based on our family. Checking in and out was easy. I know we want to come back again.

Perfect spot to recharge your families batteries

We had a great experience! The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The location and creek were amazing! The kids fished and tubed down town the creek and there were plenty of things to do in the area. Highly recommend white water rafting at the Natahala Outdoor Center on the chattooga river (about 40 minutes away) and the gold city gem mine (about 30 minutes). Scott was great and answered any questions we had promptly. Overall highly recommend!

A great family vacation!

The property was great and the host, Scott, could not have been more attentive and helpful. The stream out back was great for our 16-year-old to fish in. The house is an easy drive from several fun activities. We enjoyed Waterfall viewing, Dry Falls was incredible, as well as Zip Lining at Highlands Aeriel Park. We rafted the Nantahala River and took the train ride into the Nantahala gorge, which was stunning (get the cars with the AC if in the summer). All in all it was a wonderful vacation, and the greater Highlands area is just beautiful.

Very nice house , very clean and had everything we needed. The owner Scott was very nice and accommodating also. The heat was on when we arrived which made the house very nice and warm.

very welcoming home

We enjoyed both the home and the yard. The kids enjoyed the creek and the rock they name "Pride Rock". It was too cold to get in the water but they still enjoyed the water. The house was very comfortable and the owner had provided lots of little extras to make us feel welcome and to enjoy during our stay.

Exactly what we were looking for!!!

Wanted a nice, private house in the Mountains with stream. We got everything we wanted and more!!! Owner was super helpful and friendly. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was a great place to unwind with the family and enjoy nature. The kids had a blast kayaking and hunting for gems in the stream. It was great to feel secluded, yet less than 15 minutes away from stores and shopping. Can’t wait to book again sometime!

A fantastic hideaway to disconnect

The property was just as described. Scott was very communicative and available for any questions. The large covered porch overlooked the babbling creek, offering lovely sounds of nature and endless play time for the pups. Located just south of Franklin and just north of Clayton, both cute little towns with loads of locally owned shops and restaurants. Close to several gorgeous state and national parks, giving one the opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.
