About this property

Cindy's Island Riverfront

  • If its river frontage you want – you’ve found it! You can literally drop a line and fish while standing on the deck. The views up and down the river are tremendous and onsite you’ll find tubes for a lazy afternoon float down the river.
    This cozy two-bedroom cottage is perfect for 2-4 guests. There’s a nice woodstove for chilly mornings and evenings, Internet (wireless) and Satellite TV.
    Well located between Highlands and Franklin so a quick jaunt up or down the mountain is easy and direct.

    Private home all for you with two bedrooms and two baths plus that marvelous river frontage.

    There is a firepit for you enjoyment. We provide enough firewood for one fire and ask that you purchase more, if needed.

8/10 Good

The house was lovely; right on the river. It had everything we needed and even included a welcome snack kit! It was very relaxing looking at and listening to the sounds of the river. The house is off a main road and is somewhat difficult to make the turn into the driveway as other cars were constantly tailgating. I had to put on my hazard lights to make sure they would slow down so I could make the turn. But, once I figured that out, I had no problems getting in and out of the driveway.
