The Loft: Cabin Getaway w/Covered Porch & Stunning Mountain Views

Welcome to The Loft! A place that feels like a true mountain escape, but with all the comforts of home. Whether you’re here to hike, explore mountain towns, or just relax on the porch with a good book, you’ll find this cabin is a great spot to recharge.

One of my favorite things about The Loft is the covered porch. No matter the weather, you can sit out here and take in those long-range mountain views, morning coffee, Western facing evening sunsets, or just listening to the rain. Inside, the open loft bedroom and vaulted ceilings give the space an airy, welcoming feel. There’s a woodstove for chilly nights, and the kitchen is stocked with the basics if you’d rather cook in than eat out.

You’re just a short drive from Franklin’s shops and restaurants, and it’s an easy trip over to Clayton or Rabun for even more exploring. Waterfalls, hiking trails, and scenic drives are all close by. Highlands is also a quick trip via Franklin or Dillard.

We’ve tried to make The Loft a comfortable place to land after a day of adventure, or just a quiet spot to do nothing at all. If you have questions about the area or want local recommendations, just ask. We want you to feel right at home.

Western facing sunsets on any clear evening

The host was great, most of all the video of the drive in made it as if I had driven there before. Cabin was very nice, had everything we needed, and the view is fabulous. Cabin is convenient to Franklin and many activities. We love to go see the Waterfalls

This property was one of the best we have been to. We vacation all up and down the Blue Ridge mountains, to get away and relax. We live just 2 hours away in South Carolina. The host, Matthew was easy to get in touch with through VRBO. He returned our communications within a short period of time. Highly recommend it ! The cabin was well stocked of all the necessary items, kitchen, bath, etc. Plenty of towels, dishes, silverware, even spices. The view is awesome. You look out the windows or sit on the porch and watch the sunset. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
