We really enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving and overall had a great experience at the cabin. No detail was missed and the Luisa was very accommodating letting us check in early. Franklin is just a short drive away and offers a great small town experience. Lots to do nearby, would definitely stay again.

Lovely, Clean Cabin

My family stayed a few nights at this cabin and we had a lovely time! We have very high cleanliness standards and this house was kept in fantastic condition. From the kitchenware to linens to furniture - everything was very well maintained. It truly felt like staying at a hotel. We will definitely book this cabin on our next trip to NC!

Comfortable, roomy, and absolutely spotless cabin. Very well appointed. A little out of the way and recommend an All-wheel-drive to access the front door, or, use lower, easily accessed secondary parking and walk your luggage up ten steps. Photos on-line are accurate as of April 12, 2026. Decent cell signal, good WiFi, healthy HVAC system. Quiet neighborhood and just far enough off of highway 28 to miss the noise. NOTE: stepped entrance should be considered when handicapped persons are reserving.

Very well equipped for your needs

We enjoyed our visit very much. The mountains out the window, the fireplace ( we bought starters), and they did have other things to use which we just did not have time for like the grill and downstairs recreation area. Beds were comfortable and you really felt like you were into cabinet life. It’s very convenient to the highway so that you can have a view of the mountains without having to drive up high to see it. Not being current with all the latest TV choices like Netflix, Hulu, peacock,etc. we be did not use the TV.
