The leaves are beginning to change so we're in for a gorgeous fall! So come to WNC and support our area. You will love this custom-built riverfront home in the Smoky Mountains that is centrally located and convenient to Franklin, Highlands, and all Western North Carolina and Tennessee area attractions. 

In the summer,  Enjoy wading, swimming, fishing for Trout, bring your tube to float down the river, or just sit and relax and let the sound of the river take all of your stress away!  

Enjoy views of the river from the oversized deck where you can sip your morning coffee or host dinner grilling out. Or snuggle up by the fireplace inside while enjoying the views from the wall of windows. Great for a  family gathering around the fire pit or an intimate romantic retreat.

Plus, it's an easy drive to Cherokee, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. There is so much to do that you will not have time to do it all, or just relax here with the peace and quiet in your home away from home.

Lovely cabin!
Lovely cabin on the creek! We were very pleased with the layout of the home, worked well for our group of four adults. This home has a fabulous deck overlooking the creek with plenty of seating, wonderful location for our morning coffee. The location is right in between the towns of Franklin and Highlands, both worth a visit!

Amazing!
What an amazing cabin!! Everything about it was perfection!! The kids loved playing in the river (even though it was freezing) running around the yard playing hide and seek and tag! The fire pit near the river was so nice in the evening to relax and do S'mores!! Early morning on the deck with a hot drink and a book had to be my favorite!! Loved the connivence to all the Falls, Highlands and downtown FrankLin!! Can't wait to come back!!

We didn't want to leave...
If I could sum up this cabin with one word it would be PERFECTION! There are so many great things about this place that I could make this review a novel. We enjoyed sitting outside on the back deck and listening to the sounds of the river. It was so peaceful. The kids slept in the loft and had plenty of room. The whole house was well equipped with everything we needed. We used the fire pit every night and made smores. Day trips to Franklin, Highlands and Cashiers were another highlight. The views at Wayah Bald were nothing short of breathtaking... A must visit when staying in Franklin.

River Relaxation!
This was the most relaxing vacation my family and I have had in a long time! We enjoyed the feeling of being remote, while enjoying the convenience of restaurants and shops nearby. The peace and quiet was amazing! This home is immaculate - never found not one speck of dust! It has comfortable furniture, top-rate mattresses, fully stocked kitchen, awesome deck to sit and enjoy the sounds of the river and neighborly geese! Also, we met some very nice locals in the shops on Main St. who made our visit all the more enjoyable. It was a great way to celebrate my father's 76th birthday! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and little slice of heaven on earth.

Outstanding cabin on the river
This place is so nice and relaxing we spent a lot of time there Our third or fourth visit to this house. We really appreciate the owners sharing. It’s close to Franklin and close (as the crow flies) to Highland. Plenty of great restaurants in the area but we like this house so much we just BBQ at the house most nights. It is also close to a couple good grocery stores. Looking forward to another stay soon!

Wonderful cabin
The cabin was wonderful, very clean and looked like new. Very well maintained. True to pictures. We really enjoyed having the river view and access. Even with neighbors across it felt very private. Great area to be in, with lots of hiking trails and waterfalls nearby. Would 100% recommend!

Beautiful, private cabin
We are repeat visitors to this beautiful retreat. The cabin is perfect for family time with a loft that we used playing air hockey and putting two 500 piece puzzles together. We had outside time playing corn hole and sitting around the fire pit. Visited Franklin and Highlands, cooked family meal Saturday evening and enjoyed time together. We love this property!!

Best stay at a VRBO
We stayed 26 days. The description of the property was accurate and actually better than described. The cabin had plenty of room and the kitchen was stocked better than any other VRBO rental we have used. Outside of the house, had plenty of room to hang out on the deck, by the river and fire pit. The owners responded very quickly. No complaints at all with the place.
