When it's time to escape from reality and treat yourself to a well-deserved time off, there is no better option than this two-story, wood-frame home located directly on the bank of Coweeta Creek! This darling home is set in the trees on a heavily wooded lot.

Coweeta Creek is great for fishing and playing in the water - there are stairs and a path leading down to it. Watch and listen to the running water from inside the house or one of the numerous decks. Nearby must-visit attractions include the Smoky Mountain Center For The Performing Arts, Franklin Gem & Mineral Museum, and Dillard(Julep Farms and The Dillard House) - all within eight miles.

This home is made up of two levels. On the first floor, you will encounter a very large eat-in kitchen with a seating area and a large pantry and utility room. It has all the essentials to prepare memorable homemade meals for the crew. There is a covered cook deck off the kitchen with an eating area and a large four-burner gas grill with a separate cooking burner. The laundry room and primary suite are also located on the bottom floor. After eating, wind down and enjoy the provided YouTube TV access (including live/local channels) on one of the TVs. There is a large covered porch located off the primary suite and kitchen. There is also a large party deck just below the house with built-in benches all around it.

On the second floor is the wonderful and inviting living room with a gas log fireplace and a well-appointed office in case you need to work or study from home. The guest room has a bathroom, mini-fridge, microwave, counter with sink, and large sitting area. It has a separate entrance and a private deck overlooking the creek.

Quiet little away. Really enjoyed the peacefulness

The house was located right on the river so you can hear the peaceful sounds of the water. We really loved the peacefulness and the calm this home provided. The house however, had an ant problem in both the upstairs bedroom area and the kitchen area. It also needed a few repairs as a few of the doors (office, master bedroom, downstairs kitchen patio to the grill area and the downstairs bedroom) would not lock. The shades in the downstairs bedroom was also damaged and would not roll down. Lastly, there was not a second set of beddings for us to change out the sheets when our children threw up on them, forcing us to have to wash and wait for everything to dry in the middle of the night. We notified vacasa of these issues so I hope they get it fixed before the next rental. Otherwise than these small nuisance, the house met our needs for a week away from the loudness of the city.

Great family getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home! We appreciate that it was dog-friendly also. The views overlooking the creek were incredible and so relaxing. We had all the cookware, towels, and other amenities we could possibly need. The beds on the main floor were pretty firm but we still slept well. We loved listening to the peaceful sounds of the creek every night, cooking family meals, playing board games, and being able to truly relax here. Thanks so much for hosting us, we’ll definitely be back!

Macon memories

We loved the cabin. The tubes are a welcome surprise when we found them in a closet under the house. I would recommend bringing some sheets for the pull out bed if you plan on using it, as we couldn't find any in the house. Easy entry, spacious lovely kitchen overlooking Coweeta Creek. Quiet neighbors to one side, a friendly older couple across the creek who let us use their property to go down the creek and tube back towards our cabin. I wouldn't just take it upon myself to do that without interacting with them first though, if you are just arriving. The house has great wifi connection and split units to keep everyone nice and cool. Overall we loved the cabin and have already recommended it to friends and family. Thank you so much.

We had a great stay at this property. It’s very peaceful, and we love listening to the sound of the stream. Truth be told this was my parents property at one time, and we have always enjoyed staying here. Would definitely recommend this for your family, lots of room and great value over any hotel. Close to town and attractions yet far enough in the hills to enjoy nature and solitude.

Macon Nightmare

Upon arrival we were welcomed with a dirty house. Entrance walk way covered with leaves. Little dirt piles hidden in corners of the kitchen. Grocery items within the couch cushions. All beddings were obviously used and unwashed. Linen were found throughout the house on shelves and under the beds. Dirty dishes in the dish washer. We had a door in the kitchen area that led outside without the ability to lock it. We had to put a chair to keep the door from opening. Customer services didn’t get anyone out there that day so we stayed up washing the linens and cleaning up. The following day we were still waiting to find out if someone was coming to fix the door and mess. No response till we reached out. At this point we only wanted someone to fix the door since we stayed up cleaning. On the night of the 31st for our new year tradition we walked up the street with our luggage for a year of good travels only to be chased by 3 big dogs that belong to neighbors up the way. We had to use our luggages as shields to protect our family. We were pretty disappointed. Part of our family ended the trip early because the dog issue. They were running free a lot and having kids and our small dogs made it very difficult to feel safe. We ended up leaving as well. Super disappointed. House does have great potential and a beautiful creek view. That’s about it.

Peaceful, easy feeling

Quite easy to get to, but felt like you were miles from any highway or town. Heard little more than birds and the creek while outside. Heard nothing or just ripples of the creek while inside.

Disappointed

The property was a beautiful property, the problem was with checking in late night after driving 7 hours and my rental had not been cleaned from the previous tenants and it was filthy. I was not able to get into the cleaned property until the next day late afternoon. It took me multiple calls and headaches and lost vacation time not to mention lost money spent on staying in a motel my 1st night in town with my pets. It was a nightmare the first 24 hours in town.

This home is wonderful. As we walked inside what awaited us was the most beautiful stone fireplace. Mom 80) loved waking up and drinking her coffee in front of it. The back patio/porch area overlooks the peaceful and serene river. Many mornings and evening were spent out outside enjoying the ducks that were in the river too. Everything you need besides clothing and personal items were there to make it a special time together with your family and friends. The home cleaning service did a really good job.
