The beautiful Bartram Trail, with access just a 5 min. walk from the house, is named for naturalist William Bartram who was among the most well-known of the early naturalists, botanists and explorers of his day. For serious hikers, the Trail leads to Wayah Bald, the highest peak in Macon County. It intersects the famous Appalachian Trail which extends over 2,000 miles from Georgia all the way to Maine. Bartram traveled throughout the southeast from 1773 to 1777. The North Carolina Bartram Trail Society was organized to establish and maintain the North Carolina section of the memorial trail that honors Bartram and his work. The 80+ miles of the Bartram Trail in North Carolina follows the original route. The Bartram Trail is designated as a National Recreation Trail by the National Trails System Act of 1968. The trail is blazed in a yellow, vertically oriented rectangle in North Carolina and a yellow diamond in Georgia. It crosses over some of the most scenic mountains of North Carolina and Georgia.

Summary: Gorgeous property with so much room to spread out. Great kitchen space with everything you need to make a big meal. Property was gorgeous and literally right next to the Wallace Branch trailhead. The hike to the waterfall was quick - gorgeous views of you keep climbing the mountain! Fire pit was a favorite and plenty of chairs (8) for the group. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were really nice with great water pressure. No issues at all with the WiFi. Loved our time there and would definitely stay again.

Summary: My family and I headed to Franklin for a long weekend with a large group (four families) ranging in age from 2-70. The cabin had ample space for everyone to gather together for meals ad well as their own space for sleeping. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with all we needed. Close to hiking trails and a waterfall everyone was able to walk to. Beautiful view from front porch and large yard for the children to explore!

Summary: This place is very nice, lots of amenities and plenty of room. Our only issue was that the Wi-Fi and internet availability was either not working or very poor. This has to do with the internet company the owners use and how data runs out near the end of the billing month. Unfortunately for us most of data has run out and “tokens had to be used which wasn’t adequate. The property managers worked diligently on this problem to get us the little Wi-Fi we did get and offered us a solution the owners were no part of. If they are using same internet company then you may want to think twice if Wi-Fi is important to you.

Summary: We enjoyed visiting Highlands and the waterfalls. The people are very welcoming. The house was perfect for our needs. The trail beside the house was beautiful. The internet is slow but we are right beside Natanhala. I would love to come back next year.
