Come stay in any season - experience the beautiful blooms of spring, beat the heat of summer, enjoy the bright colors of fall foliage, and romp in the snow of winter. There are 30 acres of beautifully maintained property. It is surrounded by beautiful forest which will beckon you to explore. Access trails to the Bartram Trail are only steps from the front gate. This area is heaven for hikers with an abundance of trails that range from easy to difficult. Bird watchers can also experience great adventures trying to identify the huge array of species in the front yard! There are barred owls, scarlet tanagers, cedar waxwing and worm eating warblers, just to name a few. However, nothing beats the morning and evening song of the melodious wood thrush. 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, NC. Our home is very comfortable and spacious with lovely décor. The large master suite has a king and the loft bedroom has a queen bed. There are two full baths, one with a relaxing claw foot tub. There is a fully equipped kitchen. (but the gourmet fare in the town of Highlands, NC, is well worth the 30-minute scenic drive.) There are many local attractions that include zip lining, mountain coasters, gem mining, white water rafting, fly-fishing, hiking, the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, winter tubing, skiing and snowboarding, ice skating, scenic drives, The Blue Ridge Parkway, and live theatre at the Smoky 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 High Speed Wi-Fi with Roku Streaming. Enjoy a holiday at “Spoon Rest”. We think you’ll want to return again and again.

For us, a Get-Away, is a time to reconnect, recharge, and reflect. Spoon Rest, was the most perfect place for doing this. The awesome deck that overlooks the large green meadow, the beautiful sunsets, the quietness, the wildlife, and the wonderful accommodations made this get-away one of the most memorable we have had. It truly is a very special place and one that we want to return to soon. Our Golden Retriever, Sadie, agrees! ##### Carl S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Skyhook S.

It is nice for up to four adults. It is well equipped with linins and kitchen stuff for cooking. The setting is peaceful and quiet. It has two bedrooms, but one is a loft accessed via a spiral staircase. There is a nice carport large enough for two cars. We enjoyed our stay. The only real issue we had was negotiating the long narrow, gravel road leading up the mountain to the home. ##### Skyhook S.

The shower is great & the king bed is SO comfortable. The skylights add a wonderful touch. We most enjoyed the ability to bring our dog with us on vaca. The deck is gated on both sides which allowed us peace of mind. The front yard to expansive to allow us to walk him. That being said, if anyone wants to bring their pet with them here, please, please be a responsible pet owner by being respective of the owners inside & outside property so that they will continue to allow larger dogs to stay.

The house was very clean and well maintained will all the expected amenities. The location was just what we needed, quiet and peaceful, with a gorgeous view! Beautiful big yard perfect if you are traveling with dog. Lenny our dog, enjoyed running ,playing or relaxing on the patio. We enjoyed nature, visit of pheasants or turkeys /not sure/, family of deer with small calves and a lots of birds hummingbirds! Every evening we watched the lightning bugs. This was magical. We recommended Mama G's Italian Restaurant in Clayton GA. Thank you Bill and Heidi for wonderful time and hospitality. Hope to stay again! Rober & Alicja and Lenny ##### Robert S.

Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Stay at Spoon Rest 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. ##### Michelle E.

Jul 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spoon's Rest My husband and I just returned from a 5 day stay at Spoon's Rest. I truly have nothing but positive things to say about our stay. The property is beautiful and meticulously maintained inside and out. There is a classy yet homey feel to the property. The hosts Bill and Heidi are the best. Bill calls out to the deer in the surrounding forest every morning and evening and they promptly come out to be fed. There is also a bevy of guineas that visit each day which all adds to the charm of the property. Our dog Desmin was in heaven with all the woodland visitors! Franklin is a very nice town with good shopping opportunities on Main Street (and elsewhere). We found Doodlebugs in particular to be an interesting shop and the owner was very knowledgeable about arrowheads etc... I didn't realize how close Spoon's Rest was to Atlanta, Cherokee etc.. There is just SO much to do in the area but if you decide to go nowhere like we did one day that's okay because the property is gorgeous with a fantastic front porch with million dollar view of the mountains. We loved every minute of it and hope to return! ##### A W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H. Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everyone needs a rest at Spoon Rest 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. ##### Michael H. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James A.
