Secluded Acreage with Mountain Views and Creekside
This beautiful secluded retreat was the perfect getaway home nestled in the mountains with a wooded creek. We absolutely loved sitting on the back porch every night to watch the deer and turkey come out. Marsha was the perfect host and provided a hummingbird feeder for us to hang and we were able to see them everyday. The home was one of the cleanest rentals and provided all the essentials we needed. We highly recommend this gem and look forward to future trips there.

Perfect Vacation
I stayed at this property for three weeks and this was exactly the vacation I wanted for myself and my Labrador! The property was perfect. Over five acres for my dog to be free to explore and play in. The stream was fun for her to romp in. The serenity was overwhelming. In the morning the only sounds were the birds and the creek. In the afternoon it was watching the deer and waiting for the fireflies to come out. The house itself was newly redone and perfect. Exactly as pictured. Lots of storage space and the kitchen was equipped as well or better than any rental I've ever used. The host was gracious and so concerned for our comfort and enjoyment at her rental. The internet worked perfectly, so there was no problem with TV or cell service even though cell service is often spotty in the mountains. The location between Clayton, GA and Franklin, NC was perfect as well. So much to do in the area that you could hardly run out of amazing places to hike. Restaurants really good as well. Overall this was one the best rentals I've ever had. Will definetly come back when I need a "time out!" Kind of thinking about how gorgeous it would be in the fall!!!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST GETAWAY HOME!
My father and I (with my two amazing dogs) stayed here for Memorial Day weekend 2024. What a fantastic time we had. The home we stayed in was EXCEPTIONAL! Marsha and Family thought of and provided everything we needed. The property is beautiful and well cared for. Beautiful views from the quaint back porch. A short walk to a babbling brook with a picnic table.The house itself was immaculate and laid out very well.The beds were super comfortable and we slept like babies. The primary bedroom's bathroom was amazing. Huge stall shower with dual sinks and walk-in closets. Everything was tastefully decorated and just perfected to the point that you just felt at home as soon as you walked in. Host even provided large sheets to cover furniture so my pups could be in my lap without getting fur/dirt on the furniture. Nice touch I thought. Kitchen was stocked with every utensil you might need. Of note a Keurig coffee maker is provided so just bring your K-pods. Location was perfect and EASY to get to. We spent the weekend looking at and hiking to waterfalls in the area.This property is perfect for that as there are at least a dozen waterfalls within a half hour drive.I'm already trying to plan my next getaway weekend. Guess where I'll be staying!!??
