The house was very clean. It was comfortable and like home. We enjoyed the creek. The driveway was a little intimidating, but the owner was very helpful with his suggestions. We would like to stay again.

Very relaxing!

This home was wonderful!. Fully stocked - from the kitchen to the laundry room and bathrooms- from cookware and dishes ,to cleaning products and soaps ,linens and towels. We loved the upper and lower back porches to view the relaxing river. The young people enjoyed the game room and tubing on the river. The beds slept good . We came away very refreshed and hated to leave. Would love to go back again!

Refreshing and welcoming mountain stay

The Bubbling River was a highlight to a lovely stay. The house was very clean, and well stocked with ample space for two couples. The owner was polite and quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed cooking in, as well as the close proximity of excellent restaurants. Close to waterfalls and other attractions.

This was our third stay at this lovely property. Love waking up to the sound of the river. The location is perfect. Close to grocery stores, eateries, etc. The home is clean and very well appointed. A home away from home.

Fall Getaway!

This home is perfect. I love the location by the river and the back porch for morning coffee. We went to the great Smokey National Park for a hike and also saw beautiful fall colors. There is plenty of room in this home for everyone. I can't wait till June to come again!

Beautiful place to stay. We relaxed by the river and caught a few trout and fried them for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Mr. Miller was very pleasant and greeted us when we arrived. We will definitely stay again.

Another wonderful family vacation

This was our third time staying at the house, and this year, staying in the summer rather than late autumn. The place is loved by our family and they already want to go back! This year was the first time we used the tubes to go down the river and it was so much fun. The house as always is immaculate, with every modern convenience you could want to entertain a growing hungry family. This stay was special to us as we had the pleasure of meeting Mr Miller, the owner. He is a wonderful gracious host who works so hard to make sure your stay is perfect. If you need a home-from-home to get away with your family or just your spouse, this is the place to stay! We love it, and can't wait to return, there are other places we looked at but comparing amenities, location, distance to stores, and the idyllic setting etc. there is no better place. You will not be disappointed.

Beyond Expectations!!!

Great property, we had a great time. My boys, 13 and 17 could not have had a better time in the game room. Listing includes pool table, but there is also an air hockey table, darts, chess boards, cards, some board games and even basket ball goal. They had a blast! My oldest enjoyed fishing in the river, he even caught a few. The view from both decks is amazing and the peaceful sound of the river was a great way to start or end the day. Don't hesitate to rent this great find. Mr. Miller was a great host.we would love to stay again.

Mountain paradise

We had such a wonderful time and loved this rental house. My family of 5 along with my mother stayed at this house and it was so roomy. We had other family in town and had them for dinner and there was plenty of seating and room for all. Coffee on the porch each morning with the slightly cool temps(60s), tubing in the river, afternoons playing games and evenings by the fire. This house has it all and the owner was so friendly and easy to work with. We had so much fun that we ended up extending our stay. The location is perfect and we can’t wait to return next year! It’s a hidden gem and I only wish we found it sooner.

The River House - Franklin Fun

This house and the area were perfect for an end of school getaway. The house layout and amenities are perfect. We enjoyed hotdogs at the fire pit, playing in the river, gem mining nearby and you must take the short drive to the local waterfalls. If you have children the Fun Factory is a recommendation also . One of the best parts of our trip was meeting Mr. Miller. He is a wonderful host.

Great family home

We rented this house for an extended family vacation. There was plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy, there are many different areas to hang out so it never felt crowded. We really enjoyed the fire pit on a cold night and the pool table and dart board were both a hit! We loved the area and will be coming back!

Home away from home

This is our second stay at this wonderful place. Mr Miller has allowed our family to feel at home while staying at this superb place by the river. The place is large enough for relaxing, reading, game time etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the gadgets, including a new coffee machine with the ability to make single cups or a pot. Full meals can be made with ease as the kitchen is laid out so well, while you look out the kitchen window or upper patio doors at the river. Mr Miller does a great job of keeping the place up. We will be back again as soon as we can as my family doesn't want to go anywhere else! They have adopted this place as their second home, they just love it. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here.
