Reviews
5/5 Easily accessible location, very well appointed, cozy home. Comfortable beds, large kitchen. Some vrbo hosts are not very considerate regarding guests needs for a several day stay, for example leaving 2 laundry pods when you are going to need several, etc. This home was generously appointed with things you need. The view is incredible , enjoyed on a large deck. Even snacks and coffee available when you're hungry after travels! Some homes offer zero "little extras," I really love the small touches. Large and comfortable. Clean. A rating. This is our second stay at this home. We love the comfort of the home as well as the location. Some homes in the Franklin area are on the side of cliffs, and not easily accessible with large vehicles. Again, A.

5/5 Very nice home away from home. We stayed for a week (7/12-7/19) and had a great time. There's plenty of day trips from the home and lots of wonderful hiking. We had a few rainy days and made great use of the game area downstairs. The beds were very comfortable and there's plenty of room for 5 adults. The kitchen was well stocked and it was easy making meals when we wanted to. If we are back to the Franklin area we'll definitely try to book this he again.

Beautiful view and a beautiful cabin
5/5 We had a great time in this beautiful cabin with amazing views . Downstairs game room was a big hit with the kids. I don’t think we turned the TV on one time. Had a few small issues that were remedied immediately by the host. Would definitely book this one again!
