Don't miss out on this dream of a vacation cabin!! Enjoy the seclusion of a creekside mountain retreat in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with private hot tub.
The property borders the beautiful Nantahala National Forest of the Great Smoky Mountains and offers an abundance of exploration. Let the sounds of the rushing waters soothe your soul day and night. Walk across our bridge to enjoy bonfires or even pitch a tent for the night on our property across the river which is lit by festive cafe lights strung around the campfire. Hike through the Nantahala National Forest right out the backdoor. Or if you prefer the creature comforts, enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable new beds (King and Queen), new gas logs in our stone fireplace, Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV in the den and another in the King Bedroom with Dish Programming. Read a book or just gaze at the river from the sunroom/sleep porch with its comfortable oversized chairs and sofa which opens into a queen sleeper sofa. Enjoy family dining at the large dining table beautifully made of reclaimed barnwood.

Conveniently located on the Wayah Road section of Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather. We're just far enough out of downtown Franklin (8 miles) to be secluded yet we're directly on the way to Wayah Bald, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Lake Nantahala and The Appalachian Trail. Franklin/Macon County has 16 local water falls, world renown gem mining, and numerous biking and hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail and Bartram Trail. Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. A quick 15 minutes to downtown Franklin you'll find antique shops, local crafts, restaurants, entertainment and two locally owned Micro Brewery Pubs. Adventures are abundant in every direction - or you may choose to never leave once you've arrived!

***We are ensuring the health and well being of each guest by following CDC Guidelines to disinfect and sanitize with an EPA approved cleaner all hard surfaces, door knobs, remote controls, faucets, cabinet pulls and other areas in order to protect against COVID 19. In fact, all those measures were part of our regular cleaning long before this crisis! Rest assured, unlike a hotel or resort, this is our personal home and we take pride in our high standard of hygiene for ourselves and our guests***

Cozy Creekside Cabin
The backyard was absolutely amazing, perfect in every way!! We loved playing in the creek and sitting by the fire. Drinking my coffee on the deck, listening to the creek was perfect!! The cabin was super cozy and the beds were so comfortable.

Relaxing getaway
Bearly there was a perfect place for us to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It was close enough to town that we weren't stuck in a car all day, yet far enough out there to feel a sense of peace. The house was perfect for us. I suggest bringing a large sheet or blanket to throw out in the yard to just lay on and take a nap next to the stream. It was so relaxing it felt almost illegal. One thing I would note is that even though the road is not super busy, it was a bit tough to pull out of, you cant see cars coming from either direction, I did see a mirror on the trees across the way that helped a bit, but seemed to be for the opposite direction. We backed into the driveway and it was awful, but still a bit scary. All in all, an amazing property hosted by great people. We will be back and noted Kathy's other properties which we will also likely check out.

Beautiful Property
We enjoyed our relaxing stay at this property. The home was private, quaint and the perfect escape for our family. Lots of great hiking in the area but still convenient to groceries and places to eat.

Right on the Creek!
LOVED that it was right on the creek as advertised!!!!! Easy drive up - we backed in to park as trying to back out onto the paved road was nerve racking ( for me , not for my husband ;) ) will stay again!!!
