Summary: My family loved this property. Our kids played in the creek and I think we used every chair on the wrap around screen porch. What a place to escape and enjoy the cooler summer temperatures of the mountains.

Summary: The special touches make this place so great. The huge porch had many different seating areas, with lights, fans, and personal heaters - it made the place so much bigger than it was, which was already substantial. Three different types of coffee machines, the dedicated office space, and the cleanliness of the place also added to our enjoyment of the property. Note that it is 20-30 mins of winding roads to get to Franklin or Highlands.

Summary: We enjoyed the cabin. It was very comfortable surrounded by the wonderful sounds of nature. The little touches added to the coziness of the home. The family can gather together in the living room, outside porch, where heated are for cool nights. The space was just what we need. Definitely would stay again.

Summary: I can’t recommend this cabin highly enough. Clean, landscaped, next to a small creek, nicely appointed with everything you need and a huge amount of screened in porches so you can enjoy nature. One of the best stay experiences I have ever had.

Summary: Perfect for a quiet getaway. You're a 20-30 minute drive to any conveniences but if you want an adorable cabin with everything you need, stay here. From the kitchen, to the decorations, to the outdoor cooking area, everything was well thought out. The best part are the covered and screen porches. I spent more time outside eating, reading, and working than inside.

Summary: We very much enjoyed this location and its beautiful creek and knickknacks. Loved the screened in porches. perfect for bugs. Nice and peaceful. Would love to go back definitely recommend and no cell service which was amazing.We had a minimal issue with sugar ants and contacted the company right away. I would recommend the company put in place a how to use guide for stuff around the house. We could not utilize the sauna as there was no instructions and no instructions on what was going on with the outside heaters. I did contact the company and they did reply via email, but there was no information on how to work them. The heaters were not working outside due to the owner needing to update the outlets.

Summary: This was our second time staying at the cabin. Such a peaceful place to relax and get away from it all. The cabin is furnished beautifully and the location is just off of the beaten path but still close to restaurants, shoes, and fantastic hiking trails! Highly recommend!
