Vacation rentals in Richard B. Russell Lake

We loved our stay at the Prime’s property! Everything was just as described and the location was perfect for a wedding we attended in Cashiers. It was quiet, private, and we had a great view of the mountains. Chris was very hospitable and communication was a plus. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Our stay at this woodland sanctuary was nothing short of magical. This residence is a perfect balance of cabin getaway with unexpected luxury & elegance. We were immediately struck by the peaceful seclusion & gentle sounds of nature surrounding us. Yet remarkably, we were only a short drive from shopping & dining option. The design open floor plan creates a seamless flow throughout the space. The large windows brings in a lot of natural light to illuminate the beauty of the interior. The bedroom is cozy & inviting with premium bedding that ensures a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was perhaps the most unexpected delight, so luxurious that you momentarily forget you are in a forest cabin. The host was responsive & attentive with instructions, answering questions & ensuring our stay was perfect. if you are seeking a place that combines the tranquility of nature with thoughtful comfort & style. This woodland retreat should be on your list.

This is such a cute,quiet, serene place.

Tammy was a great host! Appreciate her opening her home to us. House was clean and instructions were clear. Beds were very comfortable. Very close to downtown Bryson City.

Spent a weekend at Michael’s place and it was a perfect get away for my family and I. It was a beautiful area, peaceful, and relaxing. The town was cute to explore and we also enjoyed hiking at Brasstown Bald. The bed was comfortable and the whole place was cozy. There was a also a friendly dog I named Gracie (not her name) who would come and visit us. We also enjoyed the dock and watching the sunset. Michael was an amazing host and we will be visiting again.

My mom, little brother, dog and I had a FANTASTIC time at James' cabin for spring break. We were able to explore so many of the local waterfalls and locally owned businesses. Franklin is an absolutely beautiful area, we couldn't recommend it more. The cabin was super clean and even has a little fenced in area out the back door for your dogs to potty. We definitely look forward to coming back again!

The view is amazing! Plenty of room and loved that it was pet friendly. The area is challenging for walking them but that is typical for the mountains. Nice small fenced area, just know there is a large groundhog (not aggressive) who lives under the porch so keep an eye out for him if your pet likes to chase them! Plenty of kitchen supplies. Nice large master suite!

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The peaceful surroundings, thoughtful touches throughout the cabin, and the cozy atmosphere made it the perfect retreat. We truly didn’t want to leave! Every detail from the sparkling clean interior to the stunning views reflected the love and care that was put into this place. It was exactly the kind of getaway we were hoping for, and then some. We made so many wonderful memories and captured some gorgeous photos that we’ll treasure forever.

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay for a family reunion with our twin 6yo daughters. It was cozy so I would say that more than two adults would find it difficult to share the space unless you only needed a space to sleep. The place was clean, had a lovely porch to enjoy the lake views, and was very comfortable.
