Great country retreat
The house was wonderful and quiet. We saw a family of deer the first night. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of cookware. We brought our two dogs and found a great park for a walk. The towns people were friendly and the overall spirit of the town was loving and family oriented. We would definitely live to stay again. Thank you.

Our favorite VRBO
This is our 2nd or 3rd time we have stayed here. We absolutely love this place. It feels just like home when we walk in the door. The location is close to family and friends nearby and also close to anything we want to do on our visits. We can’t wait to come back and hopefully this house is available.

Pre-Thanksgiving getaway with family
Our family enjoyed our stay in the mountains. The house is easy to navigate to yet nicely hidden in the woods with excellent views from the back balcony. We saw several deer during our stay. Kitchen is well equipped and an Ingles is just up the road. The main living space is roomy and master bedroom and bathroom are large. We had plenty of hot water and two bathrooms is great with teenagers. The DSL Internet was good and Verizon cellular was surprising fast, which was great for remote work. The stand-alone wood fireplace was so easy to use and put out a lot of heat. Just minutes from downtown Franklin and easy access to major roads. We would stay here again.
