Franklin House | "Spoon Rest" - 30 Acres Nestled in the Nantahala National Forest

2 Bedroom House in Franklin

We have a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cedar post and beam house that is nestled in the Nantahala National Forest. It's the perfect weekend getaway from Atlanta. There’s 30 acres of beautifully maintained property that is surrounded by the park and will beckon you to explore. Access trails to the Bartram Trail are only steps from the front gate. You can relax on the front deck and watch deer graze, turkey wander, and red tail hawks soar. The expansive view from the deck looks at Scaly Mountain.
Our home is very comfortable and spacious with lovely décor. A large master suite with a king and a loft bedroom with a queen bed. There are two full baths, one with a claw foot tub. There is a fully equipped kitchen but the gourmet fare in Highlands is well worth the 30-minute scenic drive. Other local attractions include zip lining, gem mining, white water rafting, fly-fishing, hiking, winter tubing, skiing, ice skating, scenic drives, and live theatre at the Smokey Mountain Performing Arts Center in Franklin and The Highlands Playhouse in Highlands. Back at home, if you find yourself inside, there is also a HD flat screen and Highspeed Wi-Fi with Roku Streaming.
Enjoy a holiday at “Spoon Rest”. We think you’ll want to return again and again.

Summary: Bill and Heidi are amazing as is there home. I cannot put into words how beautiful the property is. We saw so many deer each day. Went on a peaceful walk on the trail directly outside the gate of the property. Everything was perfect for celebrating my cancer recovery as well as Brain surgery. Could not have picked a better location. Please see for yourself. The host made all more special

Summary: This was our 2nd stay here & once again it was wonderful. The well maintained road makes for a fairly easy drive up.The covered carport is great for getting into the home & has a motion light to help if you're coming in after dark. Having the porch gated on both sides is a big benefit if you have your pet with you. The views are awesome, the air smells wonderful & it's so peaceful to hear only the birds.The master bedroom, with a very comfortable bed, has two skylights that let the sun slowly awake you each morning & also give a great view if you're having to do physical therapy on the floor..(😊..trying to avoid back surgery). They have guest ROKU that allows you to tap into your Netflix, Amazon Video etc accts. Being there isn't any cell service, we brought our home MAGICJACK which taps into the WIFI, thus giving us access to a phone should the need arise. This time, we learned Bill planned,designed & built a solid house that was their home for many years until they outgrew it. You can feel the warmth & love in this home: it will feel like your home too so if you bring pets, please be respectful & treat it as your own. There's a laundry room, a claw bathtub with an amazing forest view, that I again didn't use but maybe next year. There isn't a built in dishwasher, so bring your own😂 as it makes for great bonding.Bill, Heidi, Liam & Alfred are warm,welcoming home owners & a delight to talk to. We hope to return again next year & maybe stay longer.

Summary: Beautiful and unbelievably quiet location - just what we wanted! Sitting on the porch watching God’s creation as the birds and deer (Bill’s babies) entertained us with their activity. Bill and Heidi were welcoming and quick to respond to any questions and were helpful with recommendations. We had a wonderful time!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Spoon Rest very much. It was the perfect place for us to relax and unwind from the day-to-day stresses of life. The property is a bit off the beaten path on a gravel road that traverses through the woods. The house sits on a hill that overlooks a beautiful field with mountain views. There is a main deck off the living area and a smaller one off the master bedroom. The house has a nice living room with a spiral staircase that leads to a loft space with a bed. The first floor has a spacious bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, and we enjoyed making our breakfast each morning and the occasional dinner. One night we sat around the firepit and made Smores which was great. Each evening the property owner, Bill, drove in his golf to the large field below the house to feed the deer. I got attached to one beautiful doe who took a particular interest in me and our dog. The owners live on the property and are very nice but not intrusive. All in all, it was a great place to unplug, unwind, and listen to the sounds of nature.
