Mountain stay

Although the drive to the house was a bit of a challenge, the place was definitely worth it!! It was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. But it was the view from the porch that was the star..just breathtaking! I would definitely stay there again! It would have been helpful to have a couple signs along the gravel road pointing in the right direction as there were several other driveways.

Fantastic Getaway Property

What a beautiful place to getaway! The views are stunning. We spent every morning and evening on the porch watching mountain vistas change before our eyes. This property is great place for a couple to spend quality time. The home is clean, very comfortable and inviting. We are looking forward to our next Mountain Top Vacation at this fantastic property!

What a View

A long winding drive up the mountain, but worth the drive once you get to the top! We spent 10 nights here and loved each one! Hated to leave, but we enjoyed our time and the memories made here. Beautiful place and views are fantastic. As others have said, pictures don't truly show the beauty of this place. Loved every minute here!

Wow, this place was just what we hoped for in a mountain vacation. Gorgeous views, end-of-road privacy, silence, except for woodpeckers, bugs, the creek in the valley and other nature sounds. And the house was so tastefully decorated, clean, and nicely furnished. We never even left the house during our stay. Just sat on the porch and watched thunderstorms roll over the mountains, fog drift through the valleys, and sunlight dance on the ridges. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Next time we will have to come for longer. Such a special place.

Mountain Retreat

Quiet, private, isolated but close enough to town. Loved the view and nature while on the front porch. Very comfortable accommodation, beds and living room. We brought our firestick for the tv and the satellite internet proved able with no issues even on a rainy day. The owner is very accessible and responsive. The gravel road up can be a little daunting but our front wheel drive sedan had no trouble even when the drive was wet. It is also good for a relaxing walk. Thank you Bruce for a super stay!

Beautiful stay

Was a gorgeous view picture didnt do it justice, house was clean and stocked. Only things, ground floor shower didnt seem to get hot water. Front door deck seemed to have a few hives. One in the fan/lamp, lots of bees burrowing in hanging bench. Few in corner. Made it a bit harder to enjoy during day.

Year end recharge and next year planning

Every year my wife and I go away for 3-4 days at the end of the year to reflect on the year ending and to plan on the year coming. This is a perfect place for that contemplation. I would repeat everything in the previous views - beautiful, isolated loaction, expansive hillside views, well equipped and spotlessly clean. My only suggestion for an improvement would be the showers - downstairs temperature control is tricky, and upstairs flow is poor - but both are workable. For those that like eating out, make sure you go to Cafe Rel in Franklin- it looks out of place at the Hot Spot gas station but looks can be deceptive - food is fabulous but no reservations and its cash only.

Great Smoky Mtn RR weekend.

We planned a RR trip in Bryson City and wanted to find a cabin for the weekend. The photos of the view is what caught my attention. The photos don’t do the view justice. The house is beautiful too. The owners provided everything you could need. If you want to get away from everything this is the perfect place. You only hear nature. You don’t have other homes near you. You are alone with God on top of the mountain. Watching the sun rise and set provide wonderful views that constantly change. Watching the fog move through the mountains will amaze you. We would love to return and spend more time relaxing and enjoying time together. We recommend staying here and riding the GSMR. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Amazing views

Had a lovely weekend in the mountains here. Was a little skeptical at first, from the lack of reviews and what not but after speaking to the owner who had an immediate response to every question I had, I’m very happy I booked it! The road up the mountain was a little tricky being just rocks not paved, but figured it out. Just keep momentum going up and you’ll be fine. The house was very nice and clean. Had a TV in the living room, WiFi, all the kitchen appliances, and spices. I had service in the house, as I have Metro PCS. About a 20-25 minute drive to downtown Franklin. Was also a little tricky having to take the garbage myself during check out, since we left early in the morning, the recycle center wasn’t open. Overall, would highly recommend to anyone else wanting privacy and a beautiful view, would definitely stay here again.
