### Peaceful log cabin in charming Franklin near Smokies, Nantahala, & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"Our purpose for staying in this area was twofold; To spend time with friends and to enjoy a quiet and peaceful retreat away from the daily grind. During our stay, my husband and I enjoyed mountain views, exuberant fall colors, warm days and cool nights and daily walks through all that nature had to offer. This was a great place to immerse yourself and unwind. The accommodations met, and in some instances, exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean, spacious and comfortable. Plenty of outdoor seating areas on the property along with a firepit. We enjoyed the views from both the front and back covered porches. Our host was very nice, easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. The caretakers of the property lived nearby and if there was anything we needed they graciously provided. People in the area were very friendly. There is a variety of restaurants in town if you want to eat out and numerous shops to peruse. This is a place we would love to return to in the future. "
