Such a gorgeous setting! This place was a dream! We appreciate how dog-friendly it was. The small fenced area behind the house, enclosed deck, and doggie bag station really made traveling with our 2 small dogs easier. The cabin was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this mountain house! From the moment we arrived on Thursday until we left on Sunday, we never once felt the need to leave the property. The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway.The highlight was definitely the creek. Our kids spent hours playing in the water, exploring, and making memories all weekend long. It was the perfect setup for families who want their children to unplug and enjoy nature.The peaceful surroundings, beautiful scenery, and sounds of the creek made it easy to relax and enjoy quality time together. This was exactly the kind of mountain retreat we were looking for, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty of outdoor fun right outside the door!

The most welcoming VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everyone in our party ( adults, teens, preteens, pets) LOVED it. Everything was of very good quality( comfy beds, kitchen utensils) and thought of (house stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials). Gorgeous and serene surroundings. Owners were very responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bhakti Manor Creekside Home. The host, Debra was very responsive from the initial reservation, on the lead-up to check in, and during our stay. The house was stocked well and fully served our needs. The property was very peaceful and private. The sound of the creek while relaxing on the porches was perfect. The proximity to Franklin was very convenient. We highly suggest staying!!

We absolutely loves this home and property! The dog friendliness of the property was one thing we absolutely loved! The gated wrap around second floor porch leads to a fenced in area at the back which makes letting the dogs be "free" so much easier than having to take them downstairs all of the time. The property and house are clean, the drive was easy peasy, and the response from the owners/manager was very quick any time I had a question. 10/10 would recommend!

Just what we needed!!!!

We needed a quick break away from the hustle and bustle of our every day routine. Decided to spend a few days here to relax and catch back up with nature, The stream/river running beside the house was the most calming and restoring sound you can have. The house was in wonderful shape, and had a crazy well stocked kitchen to use. All communication with the host was quick and efficient. We will be coming back for sure, but for much longer next time.

Fabulous in every way!

Each year we pick a cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving to be near our kids. This one exceeded our expectations and the setting was amazing. We brought our dogs and they had a wonderful time as well. The property is perfect for just about everybody. We felt like we were staying at a good friend’s Home. The kitchen was so well stocked, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house layout worked very well for us. I just can’t say enough about it. Debra was also so easy to deal with and communicate with and extremely helpful.

BHAKTI MANOR

Very beautiful and peaceful sitting steps away from a lovely creek! Very comfortable accommodations with every thing you need to have the best mountain get away. 3 levels to give privacy to all guest. Do take note of the spiral stairs that go from ground to loft. Loved that each level has a bedroom and bathroom. Lots of lighting, tv’s, ceiling fans, and outdoor seating to keep everyone happy! Will definitely return for more adventures! Very easy to travel from Franklin to Bryson City with paved roads up to the short gravel drive.

One of our favorite places to stay!

This was our 3rd stay here and every time we fall in love with it even more. It’s close to a lot of great gem mines, and we even brought back some gem dirt to sift through in the creek later that day! Our dogs love playing in the creek too. As with all the places in this area, the WiFi is spotty. But we love that they have Direct TV so we can watch more than just DVDs. The beautiful kitchen is well stocked for making meals there and they have a great little coffee bar section! This is a great place to relax and unplug. So much room and a porch on all 3 levels! The main one wraps all the way around and I loved the little fenced in area off the main porch for the dogs. I highly recommend the Bhakti Manor!

Great cabin with the perfect stream.

My family and I had a great time staying here June of 2025. The outdoor space here is fantastic and our favorite so far for our yearly family vacation. My kids and dog played basically daily from sun up to sundown in the stream outside. My wife and I had plenty of places to watch from afar if that’s what we wanted at the time. They even have a gem sifter so you can go down to the local gem mine, pick up a bucket of dirt and bring it back to the cabin for DIY gem mining at your own pace. The cabinet itself was perfect for our family as everyone had their own room and the dog had free range of the place. Everything we needed was available, even bags to pick up after your dog. The cabin and outdoor space are all very well-maintained and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. She never interfered, but was always available if we had a question or needed assistance in anyway. I felt like we were miles away from everything but only it took 10 to 15 minutes to get into town if you wanted a grocery store or a restaurant to go out to eat at. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.

Creekside Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The creek running next to the property was relaxing to listen to while sitting on the porches on each of the three levels of the cabin. The cabin was nicely stocked above and beyond with all the items you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The property was very peaceful and relaxing. It was on the outskirts of town with just a short drive into downtown Franklin. We had some trouble getting connected to the internet and the host was super quick at responding and getting it fixed for us. The only thing to be aware of are the steps required to get into the cabin. You have steps to get to the 2nd level where the kitchen and dining room are and a spiral staircase to get to the 3rd floor loft area. Even for people without physical limitations it was a lot of steps throughout the day. If steps are hard for you this property is not what you are looking for. Overall a great place, would stay again and would recommend staying there.
