Perfect quaint cabin

Perfect little cabin. We’ve visited the area a number of times now to visit our daughter who attends WCU. This has been our favorite so far. Built by the owners and so obviously cared for with loving attention to cleanliness and renter’s needs. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin.

A Hidden Gem

The hosts couldn't have been nicer. The cabin was top notch and clean as a whistle. The goats came running to greet us when we returned from our outings in the area. Location was perfect and the road to the cabin is very accessible. Would absolutely stay here again.

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.

Beyond our expectations

Dwight and Helen were very thorough is having the cabin stocked and equipped with anything one would want or need ... it truly was like home away from home. We were extremely comfortable out on the porch and inside this charming cabin and loved our stay. The highlight was being greeted by 7 goats which visited us regularly!

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

About the host

Hosted by Dwight Cassada

Host profile image
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.
