Cabin in Franklin

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 265 reviews

Mountain Air Cabin

Adorable & freshly renovated cabin located in a private wooded community between Highlands and Franklin in the Nantahala National Forest. Our light & airy cabin is nestled on almost 4 acres of woodsy, mountainous terrain and is private and picturesque, yet still convenient to town. We love relaxing on the front porch, surrounded by nature and enjoying the sounds of the streams & views of the mountains. It is a peaceful cabin to relax & enjoy the cool breezes and scenery of the Smoky Mountains.

Romantic Tiny Home w/HotTub+Fire Pit+Mountain View

We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to sit at the picnic table & listen to the wind through the trees or the birds serenade as the sky turns pink & purple over the Smoky Mountains. We purposely tucked our adorable Tiny Home into the woods to achieve the peaceful retreat you're looking for. You'll feel like the "Little Red Riding Hood" skipping through the woods as you escape the "Big Bad Wolf" of technology and stress. Evenings around the Firepit w/the stars are simply magical!

Romantic Yurt, Hot Tub, Farm & Tropical Greenhouse

THE RE-OPENING OF OUR YURT IS HERE! Our beautiful Yurt is re-opening after a 6-week hiatus from the hurricane. Our farm did not sustain any damage, but we took time out to support our community and house someone who had lost their home in the flooding. Western North Carolina is slowly opening back up to visitors and so are we. Tourism is the bread and butter of this area, supporting restaurants, shops and artisans. Those that are able are opening and would love your support.

Chic Modern Tiny House Nestled in the Trees

This 240 sq ft tiny house is situated on a serene 5 acre wooded property. Its a short drive to Hillsborough (10 min), Chapel Hill (15) and Durham (15). I wanted to create a space where guests can take time to rest and reset. Stylish decor, art-filled walls, and a full list of amenities make for a unique and cozy experience of home away from home. Take a step outside and you'll be surrounded by old hardwood trees and the soothing sounds of nature that make life here so peaceful
