Wonderful as Usuall

We have stayed here about 4 or 5 times and its the perfect retreat. Dwight is always available for issues or questions. The cabin is the cleanest of any hotel room or VRBO that we have ever stayed in. We will always stay here when in the area. The goats are a plus and fun to watch. There are 2 new sets of twins.

A slice of mountain living, one peaceful and picturesque place to rest and be revived! The host is friendly and accommodating and the views from their wraparound porch are breathtaking. Mountain views, birdsong, wildlife, they have it all. The cabin itself is beautiful — clean and spacious, comfortable and full of charm. My only regret is not staying longer!

Thanksgiving in Franklin

The stay at the Brendle Cabin was a delight. It was totally as advertised, clean, comfortable, charming. The best appointed overall as any VRBO we have rented. We look forward to future stays while visiting Franklin in the future.

Lovely stay

Our hosts were gracious reaching out and making sure we would be comfortable. It’s a quiet and beautiful property and home, and very clean, even the porch area was swept, clean, and plenty of seating options to relax. Really hope to stay again sometime soon

A Hidden Gem

The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect quaint cabin

Perfect little cabin. We’ve visited the area a number of times now to visit our daughter who attends WCU. This has been our favorite so far. Built by the owners and so obviously cared for with loving attention to cleanliness and renter’s needs. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

Nice Fall Getaway

We enjoyed our time at this cabin in the woods. Cabin had most everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and short distance to many attractions. Each day we looked forward to seeing the white goats, they were so friendly.

A wonderful cabin

This is the fifth time we have stayed here and as always we have had a wonderful time. Dwight and his wife take the time to come and greet us and make sure that all is ok. The cabin is cozy and nice and is perfectly located in the beautiful town of Franklin NC. We recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to just get away from all the stress and rush of everyday life.

Beyond our expectations

Dwight and Helen were very thorough is having the cabin stocked and equipped with anything one would want or need ... it truly was like home away from home. We were extremely comfortable out on the porch and inside this charming cabin and loved our stay. The highlight was being greeted by 7 goats which visited us regularly!
