Very nice house in a relaxing and quiet area.
8.0
Overall, enjoyed our stay. However, two photos in the listing are a tad misleading. The house is pctured as being by itself and very private at the end of a lane. In reality, it is part of a three home subdivision and is very close to two other large homes. Also, the beautiuful distant mountain views are only largely available from one bedroon upstairs.

This house and host are amazing. I've rented houses many times and this was by far my best experience yet. Home is beautiful and well equipped. Absolutely spotless. Will be back to stay again in the fall.

We stayed three nights and it’s the perfect location to hit all the great spots from Clayton to Gatlinburg. Would definitely stay at this house again. House is big, but still cozy. Enjoyed a night on back porch with fire pit.

Cabin was really nice with comfy beds in a nice quiet area in a gated community. Since it was a short trip, we didn't cook but most restaurants are within a 20-minute drive we preferred dining in Clayton GA.

We had a wonderful long weekend at this beautiful house. It’s a great location with a lot of privacy, but not far from downtown Franklin. My son and daughter in law just moved to this area and we are looking forward to many more visits and will definitely try to book this house again.

I must say that the cabin was perfect!!!Our host Lin was there to welcome us and make sure we have everything we needed. He was there for us always with a smile and caring attention. He is a wonderful and kind person. Thanks Lin for all you did for us!!! The cabin is very clean, and have everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The views and the peace was what we were looking for. Our 4 legged babies enjoyed the vacations. Definitely we will return.

The property was beautiful, clean with amazing views. We mapped out 16 waterfalls and at the end of the day we relaxed at this beautiful cabin, grilling out food and enjoying wine beside the fire pit with amazing views of the mountains. We hated that we didn't stay longer!!!!

This cabin was peaceful and in a great location. We enjoyed hiking and site seeing in the nearby towns of Highlands, Otto and Cashiers. Host was courteous and easy to communicate with.

The home was amazing. Very nice and quiet. The home had everything you need with great views and amenities. Great communication with the property manager throughout as the gate code had changed and gps didn’t get you there so their guidance was very helpful.

We are from Florida so the chalet we stayed at was completely different from what we’re used to. It was beautiful driving up to it and the view was spectacular. It was close to alot of beautiful waterfalls that we got to go see and in a nice quiet town. We went gem mining and found a lot of treasures as well. The first day we were there we saw some wild deer and also a possum in the tree in our back yard. The host had everything ready for us and the house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. I recommend this chalet 100% and hopefully we can go there again.

My husband and I stayed at the property in December 2022 and throughly enjoyed it. The house is well laid out and has some great amenities, including the large jet tub with a view, outdoor porch with gas fire pit and a gas grill, and the indoor fire place. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch! Even though it was just 2 of us, it was extremely spacious and a very quiet neighborhood. The location is great, with plenty of restaurants within 20-25 minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! We plan to return again!

One of our best mountain getaways yet! The cabin was clean and cozy. Had everything we needed for our stay as a family with 3 kids and a small dog with us. The master bedroom downstairs has an amazing bathroom and walk in closet, and access to the balcony. Beautiful views! And the owner had it decorated for Christmas which we loved!! There’s not much room for dog walking but we made it work with the small grassy area there is. It is in a neighborhood and very close to other homes, not secluded as the pictures kind of give off, but it didn’t matter! The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We only seen the neighbors once right when we got there. We loved everything about this cabin and plan to go back to it again!!
10.0
Absolutely WONDERFUL property and experience. I have stayed in many properties listed on VRBO and by far this was the most seamless experience. Very, very clean. It was decorated for the season so it added that extra Disney like, magical feel. My ONLY feedback is that the property manager sent me several back to back texts after 10pm the night before my stay. The texts were beautifully written but I felt the timing of the communication was inappropriate for business. Of course he/she would have no idea I was catching a plane at 4am that next morning…. But I was super annoyed by the timing of that correspondence. Once I told them, they understood, apologized and communication from there was great.

I was traveling with my sister and her husband to relax, see the fall leaves and check out some water falls. We were not disappointed with any of it. The cabin, although nestled on a cul-de-sac with two other cabins, still felt secluded. There was enough yard between them to allow privacy on balconies. This cabin was perfect for our group. My sister and her husband took the master bedroom on the main floor and I took the upstairs where there were 2 bedrooms and a bath and my own private balcony to take in the incredible views and sunrises. The cabin was extremely clean and the host Lin was so good about communication. He would always respond quickly. To call this place a cabin though is kinda selling it short, it definitely had a cabin feel but was also very chic. We were not disappointed with the amenities (there was a real cork screw) if we were to say anything negative it would be that we would have liked to be a little closer to Franklin. Although the description say Franklin its actually in Otto. However, the views and the cabin cleanliness and ease in finding and parking definitely made up for any small discrepancies regarding location. I have been suggesting this place to other family and friends. Well worth the money.

Was expecting a lot more from this property. Although the photos do it justice- lots of fake floral arrangements, bears, and decorations- not our aesthetic, but if you like that- this is your place. Needs new bath towels- snagged and smelled mildewed. Could have been a tad bit cleaner- kitchen was laking sharp knives for cooking and a few more pots. Overall it was just an ok visit.

This house was perfect for 4 adults and a child. There were two master bedrooms with beautiful views.
The smaller room was perfect for our young guest. She loved it!
The house had everything we needed and is close to town in Franklin, NC. It was a very quiet retreat in the mountains.
We loved hanging out on the back deck in the evenings.

Charming!
We highly enjoyed our stay at the chalet. The house was just as advertised and very charming. It had incredible views of the mountains. Lin was very responsive and helped get us checked in. He reached out to me the night before with detailed instructions for check in and other info we would need to make our trip enjoyable. We would highly recommend the chalet to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation. Definitely a 5 star experience!

A+ Views and more!
What a treat it was to stay in this lovely cabin. It was so charming and well-maintained, and of course the views were amazing. After a day of exploring it was a joy to return to the house to grill out and enjoy the fire pit on the deck. It was clean and full of all kinds of ammenities. We took the dogs walking and it was perfect to go around the loop. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice home, nice location
Very helpful property manager. No yard but a nice view and convenient location. The house has neighbors not shown in the pictures but we didn’t notice them nor have any issues. I would stay there again in the future. Great location for access to the area and the house is well maintained and clean top to bottom.

Good cabin, Christmas in March?
The cabin is very nice. It's in a quite neighborhood and the views from the bedrooms was fantastic. The biggest issue we had was the cabin was full of Christmas decorations. We stayed in March 2021. A full 3 months AFTER Christmas. This is the biggest reason for a 3 out of 5.
Couple items wanted to share.....
-No welcome/guest book. We enjoy these.
-hard floors looked clean but after wiping up some water, the paper towel was black. Had to have been weeks since the floors were wiped down.
- Listing shows this cabin has a grill/smoker when in fact it doesn't. Was actually wanting to use it but ended up not having one.
Lin the owner dropped off a full propane tank which was very nice of her. She reached out on our second day if we needed anything. Seemed to be a very friendly lady. The Christmas decor really hindered our experience.

Wonderful Stay in Charming Mountain Chalet
My family & I enjoyed a wonderful stay in this incredibly lovely mountain home. Gorgeous chalet - great layout and decor; very clean; big enough to feel open and spacious but small enough retain a cozy feel. Views are amazing. Responsive and welcoming host. Thank you!
5.0
The house is a beautiful as the photos and Lin was available if we'd needed anything--which we didn't. The view is pretty. The only weird thing was the no trespassing signs ringing the neighbors' properties. We didn't see any people, but the roped-off yards with alarms felt unwelcoming. I am guessing they've has problems with guests using their yards to walk their dogs?

The Chalet is very nice. It's pet friendly which we liked but it was very clean and no pet smells that yo might expect in a pet friendly stay.I was disappointed that there was no actual property. It was odd that where was zero back yard or any accessible yard at all. Got some extra exercise taking the dog out for a walk!30 minute drive to Highlands was beautiful.Enjoy!
