Franklin-Mountain Retreat-Stunning View. Outdoor hot tub, clawfoot tubs & shower
Cozy and tastefully decorated mountain home, just a two hour drive from Atlanta.
This cabin is just minutes from hiking on the Appalachian and Bartram trails, with breathtaking southern views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC and GA.
This cabin features livable porches, a huge rear deck, two claw foot tubs for out door soaking, a hot tub that fits 4 adults and an outdoor shower. HOT TUB, CLAW FOOT TUBS AND OUTDOOR SHOWER ARE NOT AVAILABLE DURING WINTER MONTHS (FROM 11/1 TO 3/15). Nearby activities include hiking, antiquing, waterfalls, golf, paddling, swimming (in the new Macon County water park); dining, and entertainment at the Smokey Mountain Center for Performing Arts. For short day excursions visit Highlands, Dillsboro , Sylva, and Cashiers. The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is only 45 minutes away. Two new breweries in Franklin are so convenient after a hike, paddle or antiquing. Lazy Hiker and Currahee Brewing Company are both great choices. We suggest you try both!!!
The master bedroom features a king bed, and a child's day bed, with French doors that open to a screened in porch and view. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third loft bedroom, a full size bed.
There is a beautiful wood burning fire place in the family room, fully equipped kitchen, and large farm table in the dining room. The deck off of the living room has a dining table with 4 chairs (nice for enjoying the view).

Peaceful getaway
Everything was as listed. The home was clean, beds were comfortable, hot tub worked as it should. This was a birthday/spring break getaway from the usual spots and I enjoyed every moment of it. We didn't even turn the TV on our whole stay. Just enjoyed the views, hot tub, and done some cooking out. I was nervous about the gravel drive but my little Honda had no issues getting to the cabin. Will definitely be back!

Oh My Gosh, the view !
We stayed a week at this cozy cabin outside of Otto, NC for the Christmas holiday. It was so quiet and relaxing - wish we could have stayed longer to explore the area. We still managed to do three hikes - Mud Creek Trail, Bartram Trail: Wallace Branch to William's Pulpit and Greenway Trail in Franklin. The cabin is equipped with everything you need - loved the decor. We met some friends for brunch at The Crown Restaurant in Brasstown on Saturday - they also serve dinner in the evening - highly recommend for a meal out. We prepared all the rest of our meals at the cabin. The beds were so comfortable - slept like a rock. The view from the deck was amazing - could spend hours looking at it.
Thank you, Ed & Brenda, for sharing your lovely cabin with us. It was always be a fond memory.

Private & Serene Getaway!!!
This is an older, rustic, well kept, charming property with million dollar views. The outdoor shower, his and hers outdoor soaking tubs, and jetted hot tub offer unique, relaxing experiences with an awesome view!
It has a well loved, homey and relaxing atmosphere. Nestled in the mountains with woods all around, it feels very quiet and serene.
We highly recommend it and plan on returning this spring! Alan J. & Elizabeth K.

Relaxing vacation
This cabin is exactly as described. We planned on a relaxing weekend, and got that with this property. Some better supplies would be appreciated, such as more towels and soap/shampoo.
The outdoor shower is a nice touch. I am installing one at home thanks to my stay.
Would stay here again.

Beautiful Mountain View!
What an awesome property! We loved the view, hot tub, fire pit & soaker tubs! If you’re looking for a remote getaway that is still easy to visit nearby towns, this is a perfect place to stay. We loved our day trips to Franklin, Sylva, Highlands, and Cashiers.

Wonderful Anniversary Trip
We decided to book a last minute Anniversary trip and stumbled across this listing. We couldn't tell much about the interior from the photos that were on line at the time, but we booked any way because the amenities intrigued us.
The trek up the mountain to the cabin can be intimidating or thrilling - you decide!
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised! The interior is way more beautiful than imagined- stunning tongue and groove wood work in the main room and vaulted ceiling, a cozy fireplace, and a well equipped kitchen, and breathtaking views! There is a cute loft bedroom on the top floor with a full private bath, and another room with a hall bath on the main floor. Downstairs on the lower floor, a half bath only, but if its warm enough, you can utilize the outside shower. The primary bedroom on this floor has a king bed with a comfy mattress and pillows, and there is also a twin bed if you have littles (we used the twin bed to put our open suitcases on) The hot tub was amazing and we spent every single night watching shooting stars. Had a great photo op with the soaking tubs, too! We saw bears, tons of deer and even turkeys, which added to the enjoyment. The views from the main deck are absolutely breathtaking and change every hour. Book it! You won't be sorry

It was a lovely experience with a wonderful view, but the drive to the house was a little scary! We would book again though as it is very relaxing and quiet!
