Couples Paradise: Sunset & Starry Nights Await!

This cabin is tucked away in the mountains of beautiful Franklin, N.C. It has the comforts of home & yet is a great getaway from the hustle & bustle of everyday life.

And while out, enjoy exploring beautiful sceneries of Western Carolina along with enjoying a variety of fun activities all around.

Cowee cabin has a beautiful view of ever changing sunsets & a majestic starry sky. It’s nestled around the forest where nature plays. Enjoy wildlife, amazing skies and beautiful tree filled mountains! It’s a perfect place for one or two(2)people with one bedroom that has a king-size bed and it has two bathrooms. There’s a modern kitchen equipped with supplies for light cooking. There’s a comfortable couch to sit and enjoy the view, outside fire-pit, rocking chairs on the porch, and lounge chairs too. There’s internet(Wi-Fi) service. A television is in the bedroom with a dvd player for watching movies to fall asleep by if you don’t feel like listening to the katydids sing. There is no cable (Roku) to keep you glued to a screen, so there's plenty of time to go out and enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty that’ll surround you. With a No Pet Policy and No Smoking Policy, it’s feasible for those who have allergies. A sample lease agreement is provided before booking and a copy of your driver's license to confirm your age and identity for insurance purposes is all the paperwork involved.

A truly relaxing getaway

Wonderful host, wonderful cabin, wonderful location, wonderful town … can I say “wonderful” enough times? It was great to unwind and relax in such a serene setting. While hubby missed a big TV, I thoroughly enjoyed not listening to that. I did make sure to bring his ear buds so he could listen to whatever on his iPad without me being bothered. Win for all. It is definitely on our “do again” list during a different season.

Nice Week in Franklin

Property was exactly as pictured in VRBO. Cabin is new and was very clean. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was had all utensils and gadgets needed. Setup is perfect for 2 people and all the amenities were excellent. Toula was extremely responsive and provided recommendations on several questions we had. Location was convenient to everything we were doing. Great rental!

Pictures do not do justice to this beautiful place

Everything from booking the property to check in was super easy. Only complaint, if any was the fire place not producing enough heat. We did experience colder than normal temperatures. Stunning view from the property. Do recommend. If you are into star gazing, down load a star gazing app. Tons of "new" stars were visible to us. The property itself had lots of upgrades in its furnishings. Stunning property inside and out. Road up to the property isn't too winding or steep. If we revisit the area, we will stay here again.

Lovely cabin and property

We had an amazing stay. The cabin was extremely clean and comfy. The view of the mountains was beautiful, and the wooded drive was lovely as well. The location was a great home base for checking out Franklin, Bryson City, and Sylva. And to top it all off, the host is extremely kind and quick to respond. 10/10 we had a perfect trip!

This place is gorgeous! The cabin is beautifully decorated, stocked with everything you need and very clean and comfortable. It is convenient to the town of Franklin which is delightful! And the views of the sunset and the stars from the deck are amazing. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Franklin in the future.

Perfect pre-wedding stay

My wife and I stayed here in the days leading up to our wedding and it was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy NC before the weekend. The owner was super friendly and even had corn to feed the wildlife. We even saw baby deer while they grazed behind the house at sunset. This is one of the best and cleanest VRBOs we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing weekend away!

Stunning views, exactly as described.

Beautiful clean well maintained property with gorgeous views. The back porch faces view of mountains that are more than 750 million year old and a little over 5000 feet high. The house has everything one needs for a comfortable stay and plenty to do in the nearby towns.

Weekend Getaway

We had a great stay at the Cabin in the woods. The view was amazing and the home was cozy. Location was perfect with food options close by. It has everything needed to cook meals if you prefer cooking rather than eating out with updated appliances, pots and pans, and an even a Panini maker! It was a wonderful weekend get away from the torrid Florida heat. Also Toula was very accomodating with some special requests and always easy to reach.

Wonderful!

We really loved this property. It was very clean and well stocked with lots of stuff! The deer coming through the backyard was so sweet and they appear to be regulars. The bed was so comfortable, we slept great. She didn’t spare expenses when furnishing and it’s obvious. Great sunrise from the deck! I do wish there was a tv in the living room but not enough to remove a star!
