Misty Mountain Cozy & Stylish 2BR Cabin w/ Fire Pit near River & Attractions

8/10 Good

"Cozy"

Couples Paradise: Sunset & Starry Nights Await!

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Spacious but cozy. Wildlife right off the deck, which views over the mountain. Host is wonderful too!"

Cozy and Private Gem Cabin in the Smoky Mtns of NC, dog friendly, great views!

10/10 Excellent

"Many good things here - the kitchen was very nice, beds were very comfortable, and the house was spotlessly clean. There is an air mattress not futon in the office area which is really a closet off master with a window. There is a nice deck and firepit but access from house to deck is a little unusual as it is through a bathroom. I stay3d here for 5 nights with family and friends and enjoyed our stay."

'Beautiful 7 BR 5 Bath Log Home with a game room, Hot Tub, and Starlink internet

8/10 Good

"We used this space to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary with friends and family. Our group of 10 had more than enough room for all of us to relax and enjoy our time comfortably. The game room was a BIG hit. The mountain view from the deck was incredible. Ted was quick to respond to any questions I had. The family is already talking about booking again in the future"

"Loved this place. Perfect setting. Would definitely come back. Debra was very patient with our questions, we had never rented vrbo house before. She was very gracious. She had everything covered. Just like you were at home. I wish there were more Debra's in the world and her daughter was great, too. We felt blessed to find her place."

"We absolutely love this house. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve stayed there. The views are stunning. We love watching the sunset from the porch. The kitchen and amenities made our stay easy and enjoyable. Margaret is AMAZING. Really good communication with her and she’s always willing to answer any questions we may have. We’re definitely coming back.!"

Quaint 2-bedroom, 1-bath house in charming Cowee Valley Franklin NC

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was clean and it had everything we needed. The only thing I would point out is that the washer and dryer are in an outside room downstairs under the back porch. Its not convenient if you have bad knees. But other than that I would recommend this house and would stay here again."

The Farmhouse is located in the Beautiful Mountains of Western North Carolina.
