About this property

The perfect mountain retreat

  • Beautiful mountain cabin nestled in the picturesque Great Smoky Mountains in the quiet town of Franklin, NC. Conveniently located near many local attractions and activities. Brendle Cabin offer two very comfortable bedrooms, one well-appointed bathroom that includes washer & dryer. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any and all meals..all you'll need is the food! We have tried to think of everything to make this cabin your "home away from home" and step right inside and feel comfortable with all of any home's amenities.

Nice Fall Getaway

We enjoyed our time at this cabin in the woods. Cabin had most everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and short distance to many attractions. Each day we looked forward to seeing the white goats, they were so friendly.

A Hidden Gem

The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect quaint cabin

Perfect little cabin. We’ve visited the area a number of times now to visit our daughter who attends WCU. This has been our favorite so far. Built by the owners and so obviously cared for with loving attention to cleanliness and renter’s needs. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

A slice of mountain living, one peaceful and picturesque place to rest and be revived! The host is friendly and accommodating and the views from their wraparound porch are breathtaking. Mountain views, birdsong, wildlife, they have it all. The cabin itself is beautiful — clean and spacious, comfortable and full of charm. My only regret is not staying longer!

Wonderful as Usuall

We have stayed here about 4 or 5 times and its the perfect retreat. Dwight is always available for issues or questions. The cabin is the cleanest of any hotel room or VRBO that we have ever stayed in. We will always stay here when in the area. The goats are a plus and fun to watch. There are 2 new sets of twins.

What a great find! A beautiful, pristinely clean, very well-outfitted cabin near Franklin NC. We spent our mornings on the expansive back deck listening to the birds & watching the goats. The cabin is close to breweries, great BBQ & quaint mountain towns. Definitely a “come back here again” place to unwind.
