Escape to this spacious home with creek side hot tub! We hope you’ll love the charm of this home as much as we do. Originally built in the early 1900’s as a 3 room cabin, those 3 rooms remain with the original hardwood floors, tongue and groove paneling, and original interior doors. With the additions (both up and out!) and renovations, it is ready for your family and friends to enjoy! Located on Wayah Creek, just 5 miles from scenic Wayah Bald and the Appalachian Trail, this home will exceed your expectations for comfort, convenience and relaxation. Enjoy lazy days and star lit nights lounging in the 6 person Hot Springs Grande hot tub overlooking the water or walk across our bridge for a hike into the Nantahala National Forest! Make this home base for all there is to discover in gorgeous Western North Carolina, from bountiful waterfalls and white water rafting to gem mining and everything in between! Trailer your boat and visit some of the beautiful mountain lakes in the area....Lake Nantahala is a beautiful 10 mile drive away. And don't forget your fishing poles!!!
Inside the home, you’ll experience the creature comforts of Starlink High Speed WiFi as well as Dish TV programming on our 3 new wall mounted large televisions. Our completely renovated open kitchen with state of the art gas range will please the finest chef in your group! The large pantry has plenty of space for all your groceries and the cabinets are stocked with pots, pans, gadgets and even a crockpot (did someone say boiled peanuts?!). Gather around our bar made from a 100 year old Poplar Tree or relax in the overstuffed chairs in the river room as you listen to the soothing sounds of the rushing creek. In the winter, keep yourself toasty beside the wood burning fireplace. Enjoy the warmth of the heated marble floors in the foyer and upstairs bath!
There’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out with one bedroom on the main level with a queen bed and wide screen television adjacent to a newly renovated tile bathroom with walk in shower. Two oversized bedrooms are located upstairs. Behind beautiful sliding barn doors is a large family bedroom with one queen bed and 2 twin beds plus a large walk-in closet. The Master bedroom has a king bed overlooking the river and large sitting area with sofa, 2 chairs, and a wall mounted TV for enjoying from the bed or sitting area. There is a private balcony off the Master bedroom for soaking in the sights and sounds of the water below. The 2 upstairs bedrooms shared a large bathroom with heated marble floors and heated towel rack to knock the chill off on even the coldest winter mornings! The bathroom has an inviting slipper tub for long soaks or quick dips! If showering is your preference, the downstairs bath will meet your needs!
Gather around our beautiful handmade wood dining table in the river room for meals and game nights! Or enjoy time together on the creek side deck with picnic table and rocking chairs. The laundry room with new washer and dryer is also on the main level so you can pack light and go home with clean clothes!
Conveniently located on Wayah Road, also known as The Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather. We're just far enough out of downtown Franklin (8 miles) to be secluded yet we're right on the way to so many mountain adventures!

Summary: This place was amazing. The creek running through the property is awesome. The bridge ro cross to.the fire pits is what sets this spot in a place of its own. We are already planning another trip. Super large bedrooms and the tub upstairs is great for a relaxing bath.

Summary: This cabin is beautiful and offers all the comforts of home with a touch of rustic charm. It is such a special place, and truly felt like a home rather than the commercialized rentals that seem to be flooding the market currently. We stayed in early spring, and the thoughtful, natural landscaping that met us as we pulled into the drive reset my overwhelmed mind. As we walked in the front door, we realized quickly we were in for an amazing stay! The heated floor and cozy area rug of the huge entry way became the perfect spot for rainy day games and Lego sessions for my 3 boys. The kitchen was well-stocked, the gas range is amazing, and there was plenty of storage space as well. I loved how open and spacious it is, walk in closets, high ceilings upstairs; the main bedroom had its own living room! The beds were very comfortable, on the soft side, and had amazing linens. The sound of the creek was our nightly bedtime lullaby, as well as the music of each day. The house sits perfectly beside the creek, with so many seating spots with peaceful views.The hot tub was a highlight for our kids, as well as the magical bridge over the creek; a lovely natural playground. The location is secluded, but with easy access to town as well as hiking. We loved the cozy evenings by the fire, and games around the table in the river room. The host was great and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We can't wait to come back and enjoy this little slice of paradise again!

Summary: I had friends from Michigan and Alabama meet up here. The cabin was amazing, so many features that just made our stay top notch. The view in the master was beautiful. Sitting out by the fire pit was very comfortable. The only thing we had a problem with was the driveway because we had 2 F250's, one with a trailer... It was a tight squeeze, but other than that, I would highly recommend

Summary: We were looking to relax over the holidays, and this was the place for it. The house was roomy and well decorated and had everything we needed. The creek that runs through the property provided "white noise" that allowed us to sit back and enjoy our time together.

Summary: The pictures on vrbo were great but didnt do this place justice, it was even better than it looks online. One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. My wife and I had one of the most relaxing weekends ever.

Summary: We’ve stayed in many VRBO places and this is my very favorite. Hated to leave. Loved the creek running right by the house and spent a lot of time enjoying it. Home is beautifully decorated, well stocked, easy to get into Franklin. Didn’t have a chance to use the fire circles as the weather didn’t cooperate on the day we were free. Nice hike at Rufus Morgan trail and gorgeous views at Wayah Bald and tower. Kathy was very responsive to any questions. Hope to return some day

Summary: This property is by far my favorite among all rentals I’ve done. The setting could not have been more beautiful. I took along 5 other 67 y/o “girls” who have been friends since jr high & we enjoyed this place so much. The house is perfect w/plenty of room for a big group & pretty much everything you’d need is provided. The icing on the cake is the creek running thru the property which was so lovely & peaceful. The firepit area was used on several nights of our stay & was so much fun. I’d def love to go back to this unbelievably perfect property!

Summary: We absolutely loved this place!! The pics and description were very accurate. The place was clean, decorated very nice, loved the windows and the favorite was the master with the double doors that opened to the porch overhanging the creek below - simply Heaven!! We never closed the doors the whole time we were there. The piece of property is magnificent. If I had to give one little negative is that it is close to the road so you did hear car / bike traffic but not during the night. We loved this place and would not hesistate to stay here again. Chris and Kathy were amazing and so responsive on everything. Loved them both!
