The creek that runs behind the house was so peaceful and serene. The queen bed was very comfortable and we slept as well as if we were at home. We didn't cook a lot at the house, but the kitchen is fully equipped. We would gladly stay again if coming to the area. ##### Melissa B.

The bottom line • We LOVED it and will absolutely be back The Good • The Screen Porches. Lots of great places to sit. AWESOME • The queen bed was comfortable • Everything (almost) was well-labeled • Beautiful on the mountain • The fire pit • The grill inside the outdoor structure • Great communication with Vacasa • The decorations – my wife loved them. They put a lot of attention to those details (as a guy, not as important to me) • Instructions – all of them were really clear, before we arrived and once we got there The Bad • Honestly, the only negative was that I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the sauna, so I couldn’t use it ##### Joe T.

This is our second time staying at wake robin which speaks for itself. We absolutely adore this place and all it has to offer. It is so serene and peaceful from the flowing stream and mini waterfalls to the bird watching. It’s hard to feel any of life’s stressors here. All of the outdoor lounging sections have a different unique feel to them. The beds are so comfortable after a long day of hiking and exploring all of Franklin and surrounding areas have to offer. We will definitely be back! Thanks wake robin. ##### Christopher M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### kelly j.

Loved the screened in porches. perfect for bugs. Nice and peaceful. Would love to go back definitely recommend and no cell service which was amazing.We had a minimal issue with sugar ants and contacted the company right away. I would recommend the company put in place a how to use guide for stuff around the house. We could not utilize the sauna as there was no instructions and no instructions on what was going on with the outside heaters. I did contact the company and they did reply via email, but there was no information on how to work them. The heaters were not working outside due to the owner needing to update the outlets. ##### kelly j. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Traci S. Nov 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet cabin in the hills! What a wonderful cabin! I booked it because of all of the screened in porches. Unfortunately for us, the temperature dropped into the 40s, but I managed to spend some time reading and listening to the stream behind the house on the porch. We loved all of the details. The artwork and photos on the walls were wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great! Our only problem was the WiFi and password were incorrect. We called guest services and were able to figure it out. Hope someone fixes that for the next person. Overall, a wonderful stay at a perfect cabin! We will be back! ##### Traci S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy W., Tupelo, MS Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Creekside Cabin We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. It was a great way to relax and unplug for a few days. The porches were our favorite areas whether it be in the morning with coffee and a Bible or in the evening with popcorn and a movie. ( A bed swing would make the area AMAZING!) The weather was perfect when we were there to enjoy sitting outside to hear the creek and the crickets. We were able to visit several nearby towns including Highlands, Cashiers, Asheville and Franklin. This area is very remote and the nearest town, Franklin, is 15-20 minutes away. Be sure you are comfortable driving on steep, curvy mountain roads and have good breaks! We were surprised at the small amount of bath linens when we arrived (no wash cloths/ one bathroom was missing a hand towel). Two days later we discovered a large load of towels and other bath linens in the dryer (it's in the basement) and it was still very damp. Another time when drying only a few towels it took two cycles to get them dry. The dryer may need servicing. Overall we did have an enjoyable time at the little cabin and would recommend it for those wishing to get away from the busyness of life for a few days. ##### Sandy W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael B. Jul 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Quiet and relaxing spot and oh the porches This is a fairly new property on VRBO and we booked it with no reviews and after staying there one can tell that the owner has invested a good bit of thought and time into this property with hospitality and comfort in mind. The house is about a mile off of the main road about half way between Franklin and Lake Glenville. We felt very safe and secure and relaxed at the property. We stayed there for five nights and despite having some Internet issues early on we were able to conclude the trip on a good and connected note. After checking out we learned that the property will have a back-up wifi if the DSL internet is out in the future. Cell phone coverage is nonexistent in this area. The property is better than what is photographed, which is a good thing. I would recommend to Vacasa, the hosting company during our stay and for many other properties in this area to step up their game. They could do better and should. House was very clean. We cooked several meals at the house and had essentially everything we needed. It was a good time to decompress. Lots of named waterfalls in the area which is how we spent our week. I mentioned the porches because that is why I booked it to begin with. Three separate comfortable sitting areas all screened in and within the sound of three gentle waterfalls behind the house. Looking forward to return to area in the Fall and stay at Wake Robin, unless after reading this you decide to book it up before we solidify our reservation. Cheers ##### Michael B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heang Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Perfect for a quiet getaway. You're a 20-30 minute drive to any conveniences but if you want an adorable cabin with everything you need, stay here. From the kitchen, to the decorations, to the outdoor cooking area, everything was well thought out. The best part are the covered and screen porches. I spent more time outside eating, reading, and working than inside. ##### Heang Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie J.

Clean, landscaped, next to a small creek, nicely appointed with everything you need and a huge amount of screened in porches so you can enjoy nature. One of the best stay experiences I have ever had. ##### Leonard G.
