Fabulous

The House, property and amenities are wonderful. The welcome snack all -especially the teens and kids loved. Complimentary coffee super nice touch! Views spectacular! Had a hard time starting a fire - but the table with fire was a huge hit to sit around and talk - and feel cozy! Checking out was easy. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

Home away from home

Clean, full of thoughtful details, the kitchens were well equipped, the bathrooms had very nice towels. The basement spot is more like a separate apartment, you have to go outside and down the stairs to get to the other living space. We used the upstairs as the primary meeting spot. I loved the master bath … SO nice. Caution - the hills around the house are steep, we stayed on the roomy and well equipped porches and had lots of family time around the fire pit. This is a great place.

we had a great time at RRR. The property owner was very responsive to our communications. The negatives are based on the need for updating the property. the sleeping arrangements were good .the view was fantastic and plenty of seating outdoors. Indoor seating form12 people were in adequate fortunately we were able to spend most of our time outdoors and with adventures outside the property. I would give the experience a 4 star

Amazing place… already plotting our next stay here!

Visited for a week with my aunt and four year old daughter. Absolutely breathtaking view! The cabin itself is gorgeous and very comfortable. Great kitchen set up with everything you need to prepare a meal in. The beds were comfortable, my daughter loved the giant soaking tub to bathe in, and the outdoor living space was amazing! Plenty of room both indoors and out, even for a large group. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit several nights, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores- my daughter states that was the highlight of the entire stay. The host was also so sweet to include a toy area where littles can take a toy home with them. The only thing I will say is that the final turn to cabin is a little butt clenching. On the days it was raining I was glad we had four-wheeled drive… though an all wheeled drive vehicle would probably handle the turn fine. We are already planning to come back next year with the entire family for a longer stay!

Amazing mountain views!

The highlight of this home was the view of the mountains from the decks - just amazing and ever changing! The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Cabinets were adequately stocked with utensils, plates & mugs, and pots and pans. Location to town and nearby attractions was convenient. We went to Cherokee one day, and we went to see 4 waterfalls between Franklin and Highlands another day. We also did a couple of walks along the Little Tennessee River Greenway and visited FROG Headquarters which was a quaint, friendly coffee shop. Minor issues: internet was very weak, there is no kitchen table & chair set on the lower level which would be useful, the 2 bedrooms on the upper level are tandem which means you have to walk through one to get to the other, and having to take our trash and recycling to the recyling center was an inconvenience - it would be nice if that could be done by the cleaning team. Overall impression was very good and we would recommend to others.

Heaven in the mountains!

I cannot say enough about our stay at this lovely mountain house. Everything was perfect. We traveled with our daughter and son-in-law and our son and a friend. My son and his friend stayed downstairs and we stayed upstairs with our daughter and her husband. It was perfect because there was a separate area downstairs for the “young folks” to gather later in the evening. We also had our pups with us and that worked our very well. Despite the stairs to downstairs being exterior, it was never a problem. The road up the mountain, once you turn on to Sunny Lane, was a bit hairy but none of us had a 4 wheel drive and all made it up just fine. It is only wide enough for one car so we were grateful that we never met another car going up or down. I love watching birds and the deck did not disappoint. Scarlet Tanagers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Red Bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, White Eyed Vireos, Tufted Titmice and more! There is also a Hummingbird feeder, which I cleaned and filled, and a Ruby Throated hummingbird was a constant visitor. I was quite sad to have to leave. I would recommend bringing binoculars if you like bird watching. Thanks for opening your beautiful mountain home to us. We will be back!!!

Very enjoyable stay with Amazing Views

The property was nice, comfortable and clean. The views were amazing. The host was very helpful and accommodating. The upstairs and downstairs are accessible from the outside entrances only so we decided that our children would all stay in the same upstairs bunk room. Made it cozy. The snacks, downstairs video games, and hot tub were a hit with the kids!

Cozy

We met up with 2 other couples and needed a big place to stay to accommodate our party. We were all very comfortable and appreciate Tiffany as a host as she left snacks and loaded the coffee bar to make us feel very welcomed. The view was amazing and the hot tub was an added plus. The cons would be no one liked the one-lane road going up the twisted mountain top. The nightmare is backing up when there is another car coming or driving down it at night is very scary. Also, the internet is intermittent and operates on TKIP encryption. I suggest upgrading to WPA2 protocol for better security. In other words, I wouldn’t log into any personal accounts via this encryption. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Cozy & Comfortable & Colorful

My entire family loved The Red Rooster! 7 adults and an 18 month old. It fit all of our needs. We are city folks so the ride up Sunny Lane was exciting!! The drive up the mountain is mostly unpaved and winding. The home was clean, stocked with incidentals and decorated exactly the way a cabin should be! The view was amazing with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the mountains. The trees turning colors were spectacular. We rented in late November. We spent an evening outside around the fire roasting marshmallows and drinking hot cider. The place was well insulated and we were very comfortable through the cold evenings. Our bed was so comfortable I took a picture of the label to purchase one. The internet was better than we expected. Everything worked (except the guitar hero- my young adults wanted to relive their youth.) . Make sure you follow the directions provided by Tiffany, the owner. Our GPS took us a different way and our car could not make the climb up the mountain. We loved having an apartment down the outside stairs. You must be bundled up because the stairway is outside. The upstairs bedrooms are positioned a little oddly, you must walk through one to get to the other. It did not detract from our experience at all. We walked through the town of Franklin, don’t blink! It is one adorable street. It was decorated for the Holiday season and many family pictures were taken. The Ingles grocery store is close and very nice. Tiffany was very nice and accommodating and quick to answer any questions before and during our stay. Overall, it was a great family vacation and hope to be back to the Red Rooster!

nice place with great views

It is a nice place with beautiful views of the mountains. Really enjoyed the stay. Comfortable beds, well stocked with amenities that make you feel at home. Only draw back is that the only way to access the lower level is from the outside. Not much can be done about that. Few things that might need to be addressed. The upper level french door does not open easily. Might need to be addressed. The upper level master bath pocket door gets stuck in closed position. Might need handle to grab open with ease. The fan over the hammock is very loud. Some of game consoles were not working. Master bedroom stays very cold. Not enough ventilation to that room. Living room table lamp is missing a bulb. Barring these few things, the place is divine.

Week with the family

Great place for a family get together, love how the house is divided so you can have some privacy if needed. The view is really nice as well. The fire pit was great for nighttime drinks and s’mores. The only thing that would have made it perfect for us was a table that was large enough to accommodate the whole family. Outside of the cabin Frankin’s Lazy Hiker Brewery was great, and we were close to a Ingles which came in handy. The hikes we went on were all a pretty far drive there weren’t many that suited little hikers nearby. Highlands is not to far and there is a lot of great stuff that way! Overall really enjoyed it!
