This large mountain cabin is hidden in the Cowee Valley. It has plenty of room and the views are incredible. The hot tub overlooking the valley is the highlight as well as the game room downstairs. We highly recommend staying here.
Had the best Spring break vacation - not all family could come, but 9 of us did and we could stretch out and not be all on top of each other! The Game room in the basement and the Hot tub on the lower deck SAVED us! 3 girls ages 9-12 were very entertained!! Even had 1 bedroom we didn’t even use!!! We will be back!!!
Our stay was so family could attend my oldest’s WCU graduation. Spacious and fully stocked with plenty of bedding, kitchen utensils and entertainment. Thank you for a great stay!
Great location just a few minutes from town kids had a blast in the game room along with the jacuzzi place had plenty of room with comfortable beds we did struggle with the driveway in are AWD vehicles due to ice on the first night not owners fault cant control the weather but was taking care off pretty quickly no troubles the next couple of days still overall great stay and great communications with the owner who kept us up to date even before we arrived thanks again family enjoyed the trip wish we had more time
The cabin is excellent! The road to get there is a little steep and twisty, but that’s true about most mountain cabins with a view. The back porch was perfect. If we had been there in the summer, that’s where we would have gathered. We came with our adult children and my mother. There was plenty of space to be together and also to be apart. The basement game room was a huge hit. The “kids” connected their switch to the tv for games. There was also many games of pool, foosball and Pac-Man/galaga/burgertime. The long table in the kitchen was great for meals and board games. We also used the hot tub and fire pit. The one time there was an issue, the owner had it fixed in a timely manner. We hiked, went to Biltmore for a day, and just enjoyed the company. Great place, as expected, would definitely return!
We had an amazing stay. The cabin was perfect for our whole family, 9 adults and grand daughter. Location was wonderful to get out and explore for hikes and shopping in downtown Franklin.
Ted was a great host, communicating well.
Thanks for a great week!
The house was awesome! Plenty of room and loved the layout! The game room was the best we have ever had! Kids loved the game room! Beautiful area and house was just like the picture on website. Beds were so comfortable! Everyone made comments about how great the beds were. Will be on our list to stay here again
Great house and our family of 14 really enjoyed it. In the area to ride the Polar Express train. Steep driveway with switchbacks scared some, but we made it.
This cabin is beautiful! It is open concept and well lit, both in and out. The beds were comfortable and the folks of Franklin are so friendly! We will be back!
This was our second trip to this beautiful cabin. The owner has always contacted me quickly for any questions I've had. The cabin is always super clean when we arrive. This is the perfect place to get away for a few days with friends and family. Cannot wait until we can plan our next trip.
The cabin was awesome. Plenty of room and bathrooms. The kids absolutely loved the game room. The kitchen table was huge and a great place to play games. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
It's Great grandparents all the way down to 18-month-old. we Love coming here. This is our third year here and we are so looking forward to making it again next year. We love spending time with our family together and getting away for our normal schedule. The owner is very easy to deal with and everything is as it appears. They have a very nice cabin and it's great for a large group.

We first came to Franklin four years ago and fell in love with the area. When this cabin came for sale we jumped at the chance to buy it. We live and work in central Florida but drive up to the Archar Lair as much as possible and hope to move here as soon as possible.
