This was our 3rd year staying at Gooseberry House and it is still a wonderful place to call home for just a little while. The house is clean and comfortable, as always. The new deck looks fabulous! (Rained so we couldn't use it but everyone said it looks great - very impressed.) We will be renting again next year.

The Gooseberry house was more than perfect for me and my bridal party to relax, and get ready in. Robyn was most helpful and pleasant in ensuring we had an excellent and successful weekend. She was very accommodating and quick in responding with all questions. I highly recommend Gooseberry!

Communications with Robyn was very responsive and extremely accommodating.
Last minute changes in travel plans required initial contact with Robyn late in the evening the night before requested check in with Robyn quickly responding and working on a solution to allow us to check in that following day.
She even had her husband drop by early morning of check in to blow leaves off driveway, decks and outdoor areas.
Home is extremely clean, very well maintained and equipped with everything one could possibly need to enjoy both the beautiful home and surrounding area.
The secured fenced in yard provides such peace of mind for those with small children or dogs.
Thank you for sharing your well loved home, we are so very grateful and look forward to visiting again many more times.

We have stayed at the Gooseberry house before and will continue to do so. Its fabulous! Very clean, comfortable beds, all the kitchenware you could possibly need, great all weather room. The satellite based internet does the job and if you're a hiker, then you're in your mecca.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Gooseberry House! -Everything was great! We wish we could have stayed longer. There is so much to do in and around Franklin and we ran out of time. The location of the house provided us the perfect Fall adventure. The house had everything we needed. We hope to come back to visit again soon!

Absolutely amazing home. It was beautiful and plenty spacious for all 8 guests. We loved the views the property offered and the location gave us exactly what we were looking for. Lots of fantastic recommendations in the book upon arrival. Kitchen had plenty of local spices to use and we loved the environmentally friendly products throughout the home. Everybody in the group was talking about coming back! We'd probably bring an air mattress for the 8th guest though. The trundle situation for adults was a little rough, haha. Overall, incredible stay. I wish I could spend every morning deciding between that perfect porch or amazing sunroom.

This is our 2nd year staying at Gooseberry House. It is very comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked and I love all the cute coffee cups. All the trees surrounding the house give you a feeling of cool seclusion. Staying here is becoming a family tradition.

We loved our stay at Gooseberry house. The place was clean and spacious. The satellite internet was very spotty but we didnt mind. We were up there to relax and did just that. At first it was a little scary not having cell service, but there is a house phone in case of emeregencies.
There is no cable, just a smart tv to login your streaming services, but due to the spotty internet I do recommend bringing some DVDs to have something to watch.
We brought our dog with us and she loved the yard. So many things to sniff and lots of room to run. The dog also loved running around the 1st. floor with so much room to play with her toys.
The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to prepare meals and the sunroom is a great place to watch the sunrise over the mountains while enjoying a cup of coffee.
We will defintely be back

A beautiful home that was filled with lots of love. Our family enjoyed our weekend stay. About ten minutes to downtown Franklin and very easy to get to. Absolutely loved the house. Very kid friendly and hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful time. It was very cozy, yet spacious for the family and puppies.
The fenced area was a life saver!
I wish we would have brought a few of our own DVDs to watch due to the wifi speed. There were lots of DVDs available at the property, but not appealing to teenagers ;)
The location was convenient to Franklin,Haysville,Sylva,Cherokee and Bryson City. We would recommend staying here and hope to do so again in the future.

All the rooms are large and comfortable. The beds were heaven, it was hard to drag myself out of all that comfort in the morning. The kitchen is huge, plenty big enough for multiple cooks. Everything you need is there. I want to mention too that the property manager, Robyn, is amazing! She was quick to respond to my texts, and even responded on Thanksgiving evening. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Peace and comfort
Property owner communicated check-in information via email about 2 weeks before the trip. Finding the property and getting into the building was easy. Once inside I fell in love with the home - beautiful art, books, decor. The rooms are large making the house very spacious and comfortable. The house smelled wonderful. The beds were comfortable and there were extra pillows to prop up on for sleeping. Outside on this hot mid-July weekend, it was cool in the shade of the trees surrounding the house. I highly recommend staying here. I will be coming back next year.

Gooseberry Greatness
My husband I had such a wonderful stay at the Gooseberry house.
It is very spacious and well appointed. It is absolutely perfect for a family or a few couples to go and relax.
We found the kitchen to be well stocked with cookware and tools. We enjoyed cooking on the gas cooktop.
The Primary suite was very comfortable. The bed slept well and the on-suite bath and shower were great.
Hiking was just a short distance away, we also were able to get groceries in Franklin about 20 minutes away.
We will definitely be back!
Thanks for an amazing get away!

The perfect Thanksgiving
This rental was perfect for us! It was extremely clean, it had the perfect layout, it was easy to get to, and it was the best stocked rental we have ever experienced. The owner was super kind and helpful with answering questions prior to our stay. The internet is really slow in this area, but that gave us a chance to unplug from everything. Our kids adjusted quickly. The smiles, laughs, and family time was absolutely priceless!

Just had the most wonderful stay at Gooseberry House! The property was extremely clean and spacious.
