NC Cabin

Beautiful area however cabin was treacherous to enter and parking for maybe two vehicles. The area between the driveway and the door threshold needs to have a flat landing to walk on for safety. Also the kitchen was not equipped adequately for the number of guests advertised. Probably won't be going back.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

The cabin had everything we needed for our 2-week stay. The only suggestion I would have is to put some written directions in the guest book on how to turn on the TV. After multiple attempts we still were never able to use the TV during our stay. Also, the thermostat kept defaulting to 81 degrees, after which we would reset it to 68, only to have it return to 81 in a couple days. We are not tech people and could only continue to reset it rather than figure out why it was happening. Since we were Hurricane Ian refugees, we really weren't much in the mood to play tourist but did manage to get to Franklin, which was a beautiful little town and the scenery in the area was spectatular.

Great location nestled in the mountains.

Great location that enables one to go anywhere in town and around Western North Carolina. The view is beautiful from the front porch. Our host was most cooperative and quick to help when something was needed in the cabin.

Loved the Cabin

Nice, clean, and cozy cabin in the Southern Appalachian mountains near Franklin, NC. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved spending the evenings on the spacious balcony overlooking the "hollow" while watching wildlife and the smoky mist rise up from and across the mountains. The cabin is located close to some amazing mountain trails and beautiful waterfalls.

Great location for small family

This was perfect for our small family. We are avid hikers and the location of this cabin really puts you close to some incredible spots. And then it is a great place to come back to for relaxation and great views. David was great to communicate with. We will be back.

Spring vacation

The view from the cabin is beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. I do recommend keeping your fur babies really close at night when you take them out. There is a lot of coyotes around there. You can hear them close to the cabin at night howling. When have them bad around our house and they worry me all the time with mine. This has no reflection on the cabin just a heads up. This was one of our best trips to the mountains and we come up twice a year. We can’t wait until the fall.

Great little place!

Our stay here was wonderful. The cabin had everything we needed and the host is most accommodating to any requests. It is very quiet and tucked away but close enough to stores etc. David recommended a local brewery which was quite nice and met some really friendly people there.

Perfectly Located

My husband and I stayed in this cabin for a week to get away and enjoy the outdoors. This property has beautiful mountain views and a perfect deck to enjoy morning coffee and evening wine while looking out upon the mountains. The location was perfect for us due to the many hiking trails and waterfalls that were within a short drive. We also enjoyed several wineries, antique stores and the Smoky Mountain Railroad. We would definitely consider visiting again!

very nice quite place with beautiful view

The house is very nice, cozy, and clean. The mountain view is very beautiful. Especially in the morning, a cup of morning coffice at the terrace was just the best thing to start your day! We expected to have more private area around, it is not really. You have and see neighbors and not much area to walk around but in general, it's very nice and quiet. It is very much required to add BBQ place and fire pit to make this house more desirable to come back.

About the host

Hosted by David Dwyer

I’m originally from Fishkill, NY, but my journey has taken me across many states, including FL, NC, AL, PA, CA, VA, and NJ. Living in such diverse places has given me a deep appreciation for different landscapes and cultures, but I’ve always had a special connection with the Smoky Mountains. Hosting guests in our mountain cabin allows me to share the tranquility and beauty of this area, which I’ve come to cherish. I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where guests can relax and make lasting memories, whether they’re here for adventure or just to unwind.

Why they chose this property

After living in various states across the country, I chose this area in Franklin, NC, because it offers the perfect mix of natural beauty and accessibility. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with stunning mountain views and plenty of privacy, yet it’s only a short drive from downtown Franklin’s amenities. The proximity to charming towns like Highlands and Cashiers, as well as outdoor attractions like waterfalls and hiking trails, made it the ideal location for a getaway. It’s a place where you can truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature."

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is more than just a place to stay; it’s a retreat that reflects my love for nature and peaceful living, inspired by the many places I’ve called home, including Fishkill, NY, and beyond. What sets our property apart is its unbeatable mountain views, best enjoyed from the spacious front porch equipped with a swing, rocking chairs, and Adirondack chairs. The cabin is situated on 8 private acres, offering a rare level of seclusion. It’s a cozy, pet-friendly haven that provides all the comforts of home, making it the perfect escape for couples, families, and even your furry friends.
