About this property

Hiker's Haven: Trail Days, Starry Firepit Nights

Escape to our serene 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom pet-friendly haven nestled just outside the charming town of Franklin, NC. This picturesque mountain retreat offers breathtaking views, tranquility, and convenient access to both nature and local amenities. Whether you're a hiker, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, our home is the perfect choice.

THE SPACE

This charming home offers three well-appointed bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-sized bed, while the second bedroom contains both a king-sized and a twin-sized bed. The third bedroom is furnished with a queen-sized bed.
Guest access
During your stay, you'll have full access to the entire house, including its well-equipped kitchen, cozy living areas, and comfortable bedrooms. Feel free to relax and take in the breathtaking views from the spacious deck, as well as enjoy the expansive yard.

Please note that for safety purposes, the zip-line and its platforms are NOT to be used or accessed. Likewise, the shed, basement, and attic are also restricted areas. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines, which are in place to prioritize both your safety and enjoyment.

KEY FEATURES

Mountain Views: Gaze upon the stunning vistas of rolling mountains right from your windows and the spacious deck. Enjoy your morning coffee with a backdrop that seems straight out of a postcard.

Nature's Symphony: Immerse yourself in the serene sounds of nature. If you're a fan of peace and solitude, you'll find it here.

Hiker's Haven: Lace up your boots and hit the trail! We're a mere 5 miles away from the legendary Appalachian Trail. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a novice adventurer, the beauty of the trail is right at your doorstep.

Town Proximity: While our home offers seclusion, it's also conveniently close to town. Experience the warmth of Franklin's local culture, explore its quaint shops, and indulge in its diverse dining scene.

Pet-Friendly: We understand that your furry friends are part of the family. That's why we welcome up to two very-well-behaved pets to join you on your mountain getaway.

Summer Magic: Experience the enchantment of summer nights with our firefly displays. These luminous creatures turn the surrounding landscape into a fairytale-like wonderland.

Security Cameras/Smart Devices:
We have four security cameras outside. One views the carport and side door, one views the deck and backyard, one views the front porch, one views the back of the house. They will be on during your stay.

There are two Alexa Echo devices in the home at the moment: one is usually either in the master bedroom or in the pink bedroom, and one is usually in the kitchen window above the stove. I personally use them as timers (kitchen) and white noise machines for the toddler (bedroom). Guests are welcome to unplug them or press the mute button. The door under the carport has a smart lock and can be unlocked by keypad.
