Very comfortable to stay here, with two nice recliners, so no arguments on who gets the "good one." :) Love the location that is close to town but off in a secluded woodsy area.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here. We came back because the location is close to town while still being in a woody private area. A nice mountain view off the porch. Having two recliners means nobody stuck on the sofa. ##### Carolyn T.

The view was amazing and the home was cozy. Location was perfect to see Highlands and Franklin 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 abundance of silverware. It was a wonderful weekend get away from the torrid Florida heat and will stay here again if we are in the area again. ##### Michael E.

Our stay gave us a great respite from our home in Jacksonville. The setting was perfect with the trees, mountains and wildlife. The many upgrades done since last year are greatly appreciated.

We were there during the storms in western NC. We never lost power or the internet. Watching the TV of all the destruction news man said if you can see this you are among the few. It's our new favorite place to stay. ##### Julianne C.

We came from Florida and were excited about the weather change. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. Franklin has a few good restaurants, we really liked Bent Willow Bakery and caffe Rel. Went to the Highlands for the waterfalls (beautiful!), but the road is no joke! Loved sitting on the porch watching the birds. Can't wait to visit again! ##### Calvin C.

Perfect location several towns within driving distance. We went to the pumpkin roll festival in Franklin and the next day we went to a festival in Maggie valley. We visited Highlands, cashiers, Sylva, Waynesville and Maggie valley. The Bear den has the perfect view. So relaxing to sit on the porch in a rocking chair and enjoy the view. It never gets old. We would definitely go back and we highly recommend this place. ##### paul r. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sandra l. 28 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view! Very clean and furnished with EVERYTHING you might need. Single lane road proved challenging on one occasion when we came head to head with 2 other vehicles and a ditch on each side. Driveway near by enabled us to pull over a little…but not too far as backing down the driveway would be difficult. Driveway to our house was steep but much better. Good shopping and eating in town plus easy drive to Waynesville and Cherokee. ##### sandra l. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maryann L. 1 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect mountain vacation. The property is even better than the pictures. Perfect for families. Close to town, but still so peaceful. The home had everything you need, and then some. They provide more than most of the cabins I stayed in. It’s very clean. The view is beautiful. I tried to book for Thanksgiving and the same week after Christmas, but it’s already booked. As far as the other comments, the garbage is very easy to dispose of - drive through j&b, a few minutes from the house, and throw everything in the dumpster. The little potato bugs are harmless and part of being in the mountains. The master beds mattress is very soft. My husband prefers a more firm mattress, but everyone has their preference. I would definitely return. ##### Maryann L.

This is the 4th time (I think) that we've chosen to stay here, because of the great location near town, while still being out in a woodsy area.
