Great All-Around

Modern Mountain House was perfect for our needs while visiting Franklin and Bryson City. Very convenient to both. Raven was excellent to work with-seemingly responded in minutes to any question. The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for all of our needs. I will definitely stay here again.

The Best!

This host thought of absolutely everything! If you needed it, it was there. Clean, convenient, so peaceful! The garage was an added bonus since we were on a motorcycle trip. Quick response to all of our questions. House as advertised. Absolutely loved it there!

Quite

This was a friends trip of 3. The house was very clean and was as stated on VRBO. The beds were comfortable the kitchen was well stocked. Coffee and tea bar was a plus treat. The sofa upstairs was very comfortable for settling and sleeping. Only thing I would say i was disappointed in would be no recliner in the living room. The two chairs are not very comfortable for watching hours of tv.
