There’s internet(Wi-Fi) service. A television is in the bedroom with a dvd player for watching movies to fall asleep by if you don’t feel like listening to the katydids sing.

Cabin was extremely clean and quiet! Went to waterfalls and dinners out every day but didn’t need to. Had deer at the grounds every day, bucks, does and fawns. Great stay and I highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We stayed for a week. Great location, convenient to Franklin, Highlands, Bryson City, Nantahala NF. Rooms are very clean with a well appointed kitchen - cozy, but not cramped - plenty of space to stretch out. The best part was relaxing on the porch to watch the sunset over the mountains each evening. Definitely recommend the experience!

A truly relaxing getaway

Wonderful host, wonderful cabin, wonderful location, wonderful town … can I say “wonderful” enough times? It was great to unwind and relax in such a serene setting. While hubby missed a big TV, I thoroughly enjoyed not listening to that. I did make sure to bring his ear buds so he could listen to whatever on his iPad without me being bothered. Win for all. It is definitely on our “do again” list during a different season.

Lovely cabin and property

We had an amazing stay. The cabin was extremely clean and comfy. The view of the mountains was beautiful, and the wooded drive was lovely as well. The location was a great home base for checking out Franklin, Bryson City, and Sylva. And to top it all off, the host is extremely kind and quick to respond. 10/10 we had a perfect trip!

Perfect pre-wedding stay

My wife and I stayed here in the days leading up to our wedding and it was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy NC before the weekend. The owner was super friendly and even had corn to feed the wildlife. We even saw baby deer while they grazed behind the house at sunset. This is one of the best and cleanest VRBOs we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing weekend away!

Stunning views, exactly as described.

Beautiful clean well maintained property with gorgeous views. The back porch faces view of mountains that are more than 750 million year old and a little over 5000 feet high. The house has everything one needs for a comfortable stay and plenty to do in the nearby towns.
