Couple’s Getaway

It’s a beautiful home, with comfortable beds and very nice amenities! However, the location to Highlands was misrepresented on their listing. It’s actually a 45 minute drive, minimum, not 10 minutes as posted. That happened to be very inconvenient . They also experienced a cleaning issue and unfortunately we came in behind someone who brought a dog (no pet policy). The host stated, that the cleanliness matter is/was not their normal practice, but it did affect us. It was a nice trip over all, but we did experience some disappointment.

Mountain Getaway

The home was clean and beautiful just as was shown in pics. It was equipped with everything we needed! It was spacious and the game room was so fun! We enjoyed the pool table and dart games. We also enjoyed the fire pit and store supplies! It was a wonderful space for our family with plenty of space, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 living spaces, a large deck…. It was perfect!

Very pleasant

This place is very pleasant on the inside, and the outside, the mountains, is gorgeous of course. The pool table is very nice, my kids were surprised a rental would keep guests use such a nice one. 😁 We had a hard time finding any place at all to charge our electric car, FYI.

Nice house, quiet and peaceful. I think the price is a bit high for where its located. A bit far out there. We've stayed at another equally nice house closer to Franklin for half the price but was not available for our days.

Perfect for our large family

This house was perfect! Beds were comfortable and linens were nice. It was a perfect location for us because we were visiting family. The waterfalls were beautiful! We picked a terrible time to go because nothing was opened yet (early March), but that was no fault of the home.

Beautiful home with a lot of tasteful touches. Great location for family adventures and wonderful dinning choices. Best was outdoor deck for family get togethers. The down stairs not only had lots of things to do, but afforded privacy to adult family members. .Look forward to booking another stay.

Lovely place in the woods

We had a wonderful stay. Maria, the host, was always reachable and very accommodating in our time of trouble when we had to extend our stay. Good amenities. We all enjoyed our stay. The woods surrounding the house are beautiful . We spotted a couple of deer and even a skunk nearby. The house was somehow always very cold whatever temp we set it to but other than that we had a great time.

Perfect location, very private!

We loved this location, and will be definitely come back again! The house was clean, the location was private, but close enough to the main road. We took a walk one morning, and the scenery was beautiful! The only negative to the weekend was having to drive the trash to the recycling center at the end of our stay. We didn't have much room in our car with all of our bags in the back - so that was a little difficult. Would love for that to have been covered in the cleaning fee. Overall, it was the perfect place to get away for our family of 4!

Family gathering

Pros: property was clean, beautiful, comfortable!! Cons: This was a family trip for a retirement celebration. When I booked the trip I booked based on who was in my party. My niece decided to stay with us, last minute. I was billed an additional $50, which was no problem. My complaint with the owner was being called a liar about the (1) additional guess and her overall tone. I felt she was very unprofessional. There is always a way to say something without being rude!! Only other concern was the water filter needed to be changed as the water was discolored and there appeared to be a place on the rug in the lower level room that looked like vomit. My other family members stayed at a cabin in which they were provided an outside trash can but with this property you have to transport your garbage approximately 2 miles to the recycle site

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!This is a nice home but it needs repair from the rotten board on the porch. The owner will try to blame damages on you to get you to pay for them. We stayed there and the owner is trying to blame us for an already damaged wall around a dart board that has hundreds of holes.

Beautiful property, only a few miles from downtown Franklin

Beautiful, emaculate, comfortable beds, all linens furnished. Well equipped cabin. Great communication with owner. Only issue was getting up the gravel road there but I think it was our tires. We had to get running start from paved road to get up a small hill. We would stay there again and highly recommend it to others. Sleeps 9 comfortably. But we only had 4.
