Private and relaxing

The stream really set the mood for relaxation. It's very private with no other homes visible and the layout is wonderful for a family. Porches are made for just chilling and the stream is perfect for kids along with the campfire circle beside the stream The owner was very accommodating and a pleasure to talk to. We highly recommend this home

Absolutely magical!

My husband and I brought our three kids here under the age of ten. The pictures just can’t capture the magic of this place, the creek is absolutely stunning, the kids had fun swimming and making their way down stream to a little waterfall and back. We spent several days just at the house between day trips to other locations. The house has so much more than the typical rental which was such a bonus. The house is very cool and fun, very clean. The creek can be heard from every space in the house, many hours were spent lying in the porch reading and doing puzzles. We watched the fireflies at night. We did not want to leave at all! Hosts were so wonderful, we found a bees nest and they came over to take care of it right away and were extremely responsive. Loved it, highly recommend!

Great cabin with the perfect stream.

My family and I had a great time staying here June of 2025. The outdoor space here is fantastic and our favorite so far for our yearly family vacation. My kids and dog played basically daily from sun up to sundown in the stream outside. My wife and I had plenty of places to watch from afar if that’s what we wanted at the time. They even have a gem sifter so you can go down to the local gem mine, pick up a bucket of dirt and bring it back to the cabin for DIY gem mining at your own pace. The cabinet itself was perfect for our family as everyone had their own room and the dog had free range of the place. Everything we needed was available, even bags to pick up after your dog. The cabin and outdoor space are all very well-maintained and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. She never interfered, but was always available if we had a question or needed assistance in anyway. I felt like we were miles away from everything but only it took 10 to 15 minutes to get into town if you wanted a grocery store or a restaurant to go out to eat at. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.

Loved the house and its location by the creek. We stayed outside the whole time just listening to the water. So peaceful that we fell asleep on the porch multiple times. And our furbaby loved getting his feet wet.

One of our favorite places to stay!

This was our 3rd stay here and every time we fall in love with it even more. It’s close to a lot of great gem mines, and we even brought back some gem dirt to sift through in the creek later that day! Our dogs love playing in the creek too. As with all the places in this area, the WiFi is spotty. But we love that they have Direct TV so we can watch more than just DVDs. The beautiful kitchen is well stocked for making meals there and they have a great little coffee bar section! This is a great place to relax and unplug. So much room and a porch on all 3 levels! The main one wraps all the way around and I loved the little fenced in area off the main porch for the dogs. I highly recommend the Bhakti Manor!

Just what we needed!!!!

We needed a quick break away from the hustle and bustle of our every day routine. Decided to spend a few days here to relax and catch back up with nature, The stream/river running beside the house was the most calming and restoring sound you can have. The house was in wonderful shape, and had a crazy well stocked kitchen to use. All communication with the host was quick and efficient. We will be coming back for sure, but for much longer next time.

Fabulous in every way!

Each year we pick a cabin to celebrate Thanksgiving to be near our kids. This one exceeded our expectations and the setting was amazing. We brought our dogs and they had a wonderful time as well. The property is perfect for just about everybody. We felt like we were staying at a good friend’s Home. The kitchen was so well stocked, and had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house layout worked very well for us. I just can’t say enough about it. Debra was also so easy to deal with and communicate with and extremely helpful.

Creekside Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The creek running next to the property was relaxing to listen to while sitting on the porches on each of the three levels of the cabin. The cabin was nicely stocked above and beyond with all the items you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The property was very peaceful and relaxing. It was on the outskirts of town with just a short drive into downtown Franklin. We had some trouble getting connected to the internet and the host was super quick at responding and getting it fixed for us. The only thing to be aware of are the steps required to get into the cabin. You have steps to get to the 2nd level where the kitchen and dining room are and a spiral staircase to get to the 3rd floor loft area. Even for people without physical limitations it was a lot of steps throughout the day. If steps are hard for you this property is not what you are looking for. Overall a great place, would stay again and would recommend staying there.

The cabin is fully equipped with everything you could need. And is also very clean. It’s a pet friendly home which makes its exceptionally great for us. There is plenty of room for everyone with it being three stories. The wrap around porches are wonderful. There’s a beautiful creek that runs through the property.

Amazing Property

Super comfortable stay for all 6 of us. Lots of seating inside and out! The house was packed with supplies, clean, roomy and the best part for us was the porch, as it looks out to the beautiful stream and trees. Plenty of parking for 3 cars, 3 transport trailers and 3 motorcycles. The driveway was gravel, but fairly packed down and very level. Location was excellent to all of the amazing roads this area has to offer. We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next Great Smoky Mountain trip.
