Whitfield hideaway was everything advertised and more! It was clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped for everything that you need for a quick weekend getaway or a more extended stay. Jeannie was great to work with and very responsive when needed. The beds were comfortable, the shower was great and there were plenty of big fluffy towels. We hated when it was time for us to leave and can’t wait until we get to come stay again!!
We would DEFINITELY stay here again. The cabin has a lot of space, and everything is immaculate. The host instructions were very clear and welcoming. Great value!
Very nice place, quiet and secluded, still close to places to eat and things to do. The house was clean, the bed was comfortable. Would recommend staying there.
This place was amazing!! It was so beautiful and clean inside! Special touch was walking inside to Christmas tree and decorations with stockings that had our names on them! The whole stay was perfect and we enjoyed our time there. My mother just moved to Franklin and when there is a bigger group of us visiting her we will book this place every time. I can’t wait for the next time I can stay here!
We loved this home. It is beautifully decorated. We were in town for a weekend event and sadly just slept there. I would have loved to be able to spend a week there. The beds were very comfortable. We all loved them. Would definitely stay again!
We spent 2 nights here! It was awesome! Jeannie left us some incredible homemade jam and has lots of other homemade goodies available! Even ice packs for those aches and pains! Great location!!!
We had a great time exploring Franklin and surrounding areas. We enjoyed all the hiking trails and waterfalls nearby. The house was close to both shopping and waterfalls and had everything we needed. Excellent long weekend!
Very comfortable and relaxing, enjoyed our stay in this cozy property. Owners have thought of everything, including a gift of very tasty home made jam! Necessary Information clearly available to make things easy during our 8 day visit to Franklin. Roomy and comfortable including the beds. We enjoyed our stay.
The place was very clean and decorated nice. The handmade soaps and lotions are amazing. Don’t forget to get some homemade jam from her. Definitely will be back
We love staying here. It’s peaceful and quiet. Only problem I had this time was there wasn’t any pot holders to take my food out of the oven. Also if you love to walk which i go for walks everyday , don’t go to the end and turn left I almost got attacked by a big black dog. I was petrified. So. Carry some bear spray to protect yourself from this dog. We will be back hopefully in 2026.
