We really enjoyed our stay! Great cottage and well stocked. It had everything we needed. We would totally recommend this place to family and friends!

We really enjoyed our stay at Stone Cottage Retreat! Home was very clean and comfortable and was equipped with everything you need. Had great communication with Sharalea and Jorge,will definitely be staying there again!

Property was easy to find, close to Franklin but secluded from noise pollution. Cabin was well decorated, clean and in overall excellent condition. Would stay here again!

We spent Thanksgiving week at this charming cottage and really enjoyed the experience. Great place to unwind while maintaining connections to the internet and broadcast TV. Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating to our special requests. The home was clean and comfortable, well stocked, and met all of our needs. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our time at the Stone cottage! It was a perfect mountain get away! Sharalea was so responsive and helpful with any questions! It is a perfect distance to town and Only a short drive from many other destinations (hikes, waterfalls, and the Highlands!) Will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great weekend! ❤️

Came to see the leaves changing colors. Awesome property, really nice. Close to everything, would recommend this to all my friends!!

We really enjoyed the stay! Going in at dark was interesting . I was no way ready to leave!!

Tranquility and close to what ever you want. So thankful for this cottage. Great for the fall colors and Franklin is an interesting place to discover. Your host is the best, anything you might need they are there quickly

This cabin/cottage is exactly as it appears in the listing. The homeowners are very reachable and helpful and also provide you with every bit of information you could need to make the process of check in and out an ease. They have information for areas to visit and suggestions for things to do in the area, provide information about the local grocery stores and even give restaurant suggestions! They provide the necessities like soap, toilet paper and paper towels, cleaning supplies, dish soap, and even clothes washing detergent! They really have attempted to make everything as easy as possible! There is a charcoal grill on site, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor table, and a fire pit area. You can also sit in the swing and enjoy hearing the birds and wildlife. There are lots of feeders on site and they provide bird seed for them so if you enjoy birds, it’s a watchers paradise! The beds are very comfortable and they have it set up for you to be able to stream from the TV’s in each room also. We have a 5 and 6 year old and they enjoyed the cabin! We made s’mores, watched movies, visited many of the local waterfalls and explored in Cherokee. We cooked many meals at the cottage and always had breakfast and coffee there. It’s the perfect setting to get away and enjoy family time or perfect for a couple or 2 couples to go and enjoy the mountains! We are looking forward to returning and are so glad we found this Gem in Franklin!

This is a beautiful property, inside and out with fantastic décor. The location is very private, but only 3 to 4 miles of all the amenities of a small town (Grocery store, Lowes, restaurants including fast food). The location is very friendly to all type of excursions. We visited the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, gem mining, local brewery, and waterfalls to name a few. Only issue we had was the weather at this time of year, hot, humid and afternoon thunder storms. Next time I would recommend May to early June, I recommend this property to everyone. The property owners are very reachable and receptive regarding any assistance or questions you may have.

Loved our time here. Place was exactly as described, loved the wood touches the pupil the house

The cottage was just as pictured. Check-in was easy. We spent 3 days relaxing and enjoying the birds, squirrels and resident chipmunk. Didn't want to leave.

The cabin was conveniently located near Franklin. It was clean and had a few kitchen items available which was nice(coffee, filters, a few seasonings, etc) We were surprised to find the no central heat. This might be in the description and we missed it. thank-you for the nice stay, Heather

Wonderful cottage! Sharalea was extremely responsive and attentive. Comfy beds, everything clean, and well stocked. We very much enjoyed our stay. Downtown and surrounding areas were delightful.

We loved the cabin and really enjoyed staying in the area. The hosts for this cabin were outstanding!!

Exactly as described. Very comfortable and clean. The only disappointment was the barking dogs next door which made it difficult to take a walk outside. Other than that, I would highly recommend.

Needed to get away from everything for a while and this place was very relaxing and just what I was looking for to unwind!

Very cute place with a lot of cute decor touches throughout the place. The location to things in the area was good for us as our primary goal was to do some hikes, rafting and zip lining and not be in a highly crowded, commercialized spot. We did some close hikes and took some gorgeous drives 40-60 minutes away to do other things. The beds were comfortable and loved that there was a washer and dryer with detergent. Well stocked for paper items as well! Nice to have a grill with charcoal there to use. Loved bird watching too! Enjoyed the micro breweries in town and really good BBQ at Fat Buddies! The only 2 downfalls were possibly the neighbors dogs “business” wasn’t disposed of very well as for a few days it didn’t smell very nice outside. Not the cottage owners fault though. The other was the cleaning crew did well on the bigger, main areas but small details of corners could be vacuumed and dusted better. Other than that we would recommend this place!

this is a beautiful cabin that feels like its in the heart of the mountains, but is within 5 minutes of shops and restaurants. The owner left highly detailed instructions on all amenities of the cabin leaving us feeling well taken care of.

Thankfully, there were no surprises when we arrived. Everything was as described on VBRO. It was clean, well stocked and centrally located for the things we wanted to do. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

Good location close to town yet private.We enjoyed our stay very much.

Had such an amazing time. It was so peaceful there. Everything you need is there and it was so easy to feel right at home. We didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back. Loved all the stone floors and the layout of the house. This would be a great place even if you were two couples. Highly recommend!

The stone cottege was nice I very much enjoyed the property The cabin was neat and clean. I loved the stone shower and clawfoot tub. The air conditions kept the bedrooms nice and cool. The wifi was great and worked flawlessly the entire time...I was even able to play Overwatch online on my Nintendo Switch & watch movies on my tablet at night. We definitly got use out of the fire pit outside and we got to see alot of wild life including many diffrent birds and squirrels, elk and even a black bear. The chair and couch in the living room are comfortable. And we liked having tvs in loving room and 2 bedrooms. The the only downside is location. Driveway is steep...it was only a problem because we was in a big vehicle..an Expedition. And as much as I like Franlkin not much to do there. And its a long drive over to other towns...especially over to Gatlinburg- Pigeon Forge... I would highly recommend going to the Tiger Drive in over in Tiger, Geogia. Had a great time seeing the Raya And The Last Dragon & the New Cruella movie. Overall love the Stone Cottege and would definitly reccomend it for anyone lookong to relax in the mountains.

Lovely home away from home!

The cottage is super cute and rustic feel with the wood and stone interior nestled under the trees. It is super close to town and short drives to some amazing waterfalls, highlands, or the Blue Ridge Parkway! The neighborhood was really quiet and even though neighbors are close we never heard them. The place is super clean and was perfect for our anniversary trip! Jorge and Sharalea were great host and made sure we had everything we needed and instructions how to use the fireplace as well as great recommendations on places to eat! We had an amazing time and will definitely be back! Bonus the trees were absolutely amazing this year and perfect colors! We are so glad we caught peak of the leaves changing, it was phenomenal!

As always, the Stone Cottage Retreat was our home away from home. You get a sense of peace as soon as you walk through the door. This was our second time staying there and I would reccomend it to anyone who just wants to get away and relax. The owners are very responsive to any need or issue you may have. If you want a great, affordable place to stay with a warm atmosphere, don't hesitate to book. Thank you Sharalea and Jorge for being such gracious hosts! Dave & Lisa Williams
