Wake each day to the serene sound of bird calls and soak in the scenic splendor of Western North Carolina at this peaceful, creekside cabin. Perfect for bird-watchers and nature lovers alike, this private hideaway takes full advantage of its rustic setting with features including a large yard with pea-gravel walking paths, a wood-burning firepit, and a wraparound screened porch where you can relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek, along with visits from passing wildlife. The home is situated within easy reach of great hiking trails, fishing opportunities, gem mines, and beautiful waterfalls like Cullasaja Falls. Charming, downtown Franklin is only 11 miles away.

Stretch your legs with a stroll around the property and stop to linger awhile under the gazebo. A separate porch area offers a quiet spot to sit beside the creek and also comes equipped with an outdoor fridge for cold drink storage. Evenings can be spent around the backyard firepit or in front of the wood-burning fireplace in the living room.

An adorable retro-style fridge, a farmhouse sink, gorgeous wood counters, and an updated stove/oven are equipped for easy home cooking.
