Enjoy your morning coffee with a backdrop that seems straight out of a postcard. Nature's Symphony: Immerse yourself in the serene sounds of nature. If you're a fan of peace and solitude, you'll find it here. Hiker's Haven: Lace up your boots and hit the trail! We're a mere 5 miles away from the legendary Appalachian Trail. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a novice adventurer, the beauty of the trail is right at your doorstep. Town Proximity: While our home offers seclusion, it's also conveniently close to town. Experience the warmth of Franklin's local culture, explore its quaint shops, and indulge in its diverse dining scene. Pet-Friendly: We understand that your furry friends are part of the family. That's why we welcome up to two very-well-behaved pets to join you on your mountain getaway. Summer Magic: Experience the enchantment of summer nights with our firefly displays. These luminous creatures turn the surrounding landscape into a fairytale-like wonderland. Security Cameras/Smart Devices: We have four security cameras outside. One views the carport and side door, one views the deck and backyard, one views the front porch, one views the back of the house. They will be on during your stay. There are two Alexa Echo devices in the home at the moment: one is usually either in the master bedroom or in the pink bedroom, and one is usually in the kitchen window above the stove. I personally use them as timers (kitchen) and white noise machines for the toddler (bedroom). Guests are welcome to unplug them or press the mute button. The door under the carport has a smart lock and can be unlocked by keypad. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90830000/90824600/90824587/59eeab45.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Two-story, dog-friendly home with two kitchens, central AC, & gas fireplaces Franklin - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.8 Good 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=90824587&PinnedHotelID=90824587&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90160000/90159500/90159441/d74eb47f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet 2 bedroom home with mountain view, grill, firepit & washer/dryer Franklin - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=90159441&PinnedHotelID=90159441&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91850000/91844200/91844172/77c8378c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming acreage with a grill, W/D, large porch, and wood-burning fireplace Franklin - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 8.4 Very good 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=91844172&PinnedHotelID=91844172&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (1 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101210000/101208000/101207916/ff510d5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Franklin Cabin With Deck: Stunning Views!
