Nov 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cabin was a fantastic getaway. Did have issues with the Wi-Fi. We hosted our local family for Thanksgiving yesterday accommodations were great and they had all the things that we needed. Host was very responsive. Will definitely stay here again when we’re back in Franklin. and need a place to stay. The wood-burning fireplace was a nice addition that we were not expecting. You got some firewood from a local store and made for a really nice evening with family. ##### Ted F. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### David Nov 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication We could not connect to internet reach out to connect person issues was not fix for stay .
