Nice Fall Getaway

We enjoyed our time at this cabin in the woods. Cabin had most everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and short distance to many attractions. Each day we looked forward to seeing the white goats, they were so friendly.

The Perfect Cabin

This was our 3rd time to stay and it was as nice as the first 2 times. We will always stay here when in Franklin. This cabin is cleaner than any hotel I have ever stayed in. The owners have thought of everything. Very Comfortable. Note: There are 3 crystals hidden in the cabin. If you find one it's yours. If you find more than one please leave he 2nd and 3rd ones for anoher person.

A wonderful cabin

This is the fifth time we have stayed here and as always we have had a wonderful time. Dwight and his wife take the time to come and greet us and make sure that all is ok. The cabin is cozy and nice and is perfectly located in the beautiful town of Franklin NC. We recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to just get away from all the stress and rush of everyday life.

Perfect!

My mom and I stayed a long weekend in this adorable little cabin! It was perfect. The cabin was clean and cozy, and every night we returned to the cabin, we were greeted by goats! The owner happened to drive by while we were unloading and he was super friendly and welcoming! We had a great stay and we hope to visit again in the future! Thank you so much

Brindle Cabin

This small cabin was so cute and comfy. We were only there for a long weekend to visit family nearby but it had everything we could have needed for a much longer stay which I fully intend to do later this year. It is easily accessible for this Florida girl who isn’t used to the terrain. The husband has a bad knee so getting from the parking spot to the cabin was uncomfortable for him but I would make him push through it again to enjoy this place.

Short stay

Very nice cabin. Clean and well apportioned. Only problem was the parking area. We were in sports cars and the dip caused us to drag. If you have a regular car or SUV your fine. Otherwise a great place.

Family vacation

Perfect house for our small family get together! We enjoyed the eating area near the couch area made it easy to include everyone in activities! House had everything needed: lots of towels, full kitchen, and private bedrooms. Located on a quiet road the house has a great porch, with swing!, that overlooks a backyard area visited by a small family of goats! We loved watching and talking to the goats! Definitely staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Dwight Cassada

Both Helen and I grew up in Franklin. This is where we have always called "home", regardless of where we laid our head. We raised our beautiful family here. We hope that you'll fall in love with Franklin, the Great Smoky Mountains and Brendle Cabin that we built with love and pride.

Why they chose this property

The Great Smoky Mountains are just that...great! Great to relax. Great to hike. Great to experience nature's glory in one of the many local water falls. Great to find a gem at one of the local gem mining facilities. Great to take a drive and see why the Smoky Mountains are great! Brendle cabin is situated in the middle of all of these great activities and more!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than sitting on the large, covered porch, with a gentle mountain breeze cooling your skin as you idly swing back and forth on the comfy porch swing. Unless it's putting together a meal to grill out on the deck before settling in for a quiet evening with a movie in the DVR. We find that everyone wants to hang out at the cabin and share great stories and a lot of laughter.
