Spent new years here with my family of 4. Kids loved it and had plenty of room for us. Not too far from Highlands Outpost for tubing. Close enough for stores, far enough for the getaway feeling. Will probably return in the summer to do some rafting.

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabin. Everything was great. Clean and had everything we needed to cook and grill. We just went to rest and that's what the cabin offered. Cozy! The dish network wasn't working in living area and host came to check it discovered box needed replaced. We would stay here again!

The place had everything you needed for a good weekend stay. Very cosy and clean. Only suggestion would be new mattresses in the room with two beds. The mattresses kind of roll into the middle so if you’re a couple it will push you both to the middle. That didn’t effect our stay though - 10/10

Cozy, Quiet Getaway

The cabin was exactly as depicted and described. A comfortable quiet place for a week away from it all. Afternoons in the shade on the deck with the hammock were a joy after our daily hikes. We enjoyed the convenient access to so many trails, waterfalls and hiking opportunities from Lake Burton to Highlands and Cashiers. Good hamburgers at the Motor Company in Franklin, very good Cuban sandwiches at Hush in Clayton. One issue that resulted in our overall rating being only four was the Dish receiver and internet connection. The main level receiver did not work during our stay. One attempt to troubleshoot it failed. The internet connection was slow and prone to many outages. It was too erratic to maintain a connection for streaming or even browsing. That said, we would return, just being sure to download enough movies before leaving home.

Perfect getaway

This was the second time we stayed in this gem. It’s so quiet and peaceful. It stormed a lot so the screen porch was perfect to watch from. We were still able to enjoy walks and hikes at nearby black rock mountain with our fur kids. Thanks for another awesome stay! ❤️

A little slice of heaven

We absolutely loved this cabin. We brought our Boxer with us and he loved the front screen porch to look out whenever he wanted. We enjoyed the trail behind the cabin and just enjoyed the beautiful views that God made. We recommend to everyone and will return in the future.

Just what I was looking for.

I’ll certainly be back! My cousins live on the mountain across the street!! Great seeing them and being able to come back to the cabin for respite was wonderful. My dogs loved the mountains and us walking the trails near the property. Such an awesome get away and only 2 hours from home. Could not had asked for more. Thank you!! Dale

Cute, quirky cabin in the mountains

We enjoyed our time in this cabin, plenty of good lighting and a path to hike up behind the house with our little dog. The use of antiques for storage and touches of artistry was wonderful, the long distance Mountain View wonderful. The only negative were the beds, mattresses could use replacing or toppers put on. The towns Franklin and Highlands amazing to visit with many waterfalls to see. There was wood for a fire ring and great cozy throws around. Took great naps too.

Comfortable, Cozy, Cute Cabin!!

After a long drive in the pouring rain we were felt welcomed by the cabin. It was inviting and so relaxing with everything you could need for a get-a-way. It was convenient to all the adventures you would want in the mountains. It was close to grocery stores, fun little shops, hiking, lots of waterfalls, and much more. We loved our visit and are looking forward to going back when the weather is better. We highly recommend both the cabin and the area. - Thank you for a wonderful and perfectly relaxing weekend. Just wish it was longer..(side note: we parked on the paved drive out front and walked the short distance to the door - no problem.)
