North Carolina get-a-way
The cottage was in the perfect tucked away spot with wonderful access to hiking and waterfalls in the Nantahala Forest. It was super clean and organized. We had everything we needed. The only suggestion we had was to replace the mattress upstairs. Sharalea and Jorge had great instructions for check in and it was so easy. They were also very available for any of our questions and concerns.

The cottage was perfect and very comfortable! It had everything we needed. Will do it again!
The property is well kept, convenient to shopping and entertainment, but secluded enough to have privacy. We visited over Thanksgiving, found plenty to do in town and at the cottage.

The cabin was spacious and fully equipped (right down to the bamboo skewers in the kitchen drawer)! Very quiet and peaceful yet only a couple miles to restaurants and grocery store. We loved our time there!

Quaint Cabin
Cute, rustic place tucked away in the mountains. We really enjoyed the fireplace during the cooler nights. Not far from stores and restaurants it was a quick drive for anything we needed. Hosts were receptive and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

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.

Beautiful & quiet location
This cabin is perfect for us. It’s nestled close to downtown Franklin, it’s quiet, and it allows you to just enjoy time together. Play a quick game of cards, have a fire inside or out, take a quick trip to the Greenway trail. We’ve stayed here multiple times and will continue to try and stay here when we’re in the area. We’d highly recommend it!

Awesome cottage and great location
We had a great vacation in the Smokey Mountains. Perfect location for motorcycling and the cottage had everything we needed. The two window A/C units kept the place cool. WIFI was good and could stream Netflix no problem. Many household things provided which was unexpected. Overall a great experience.

Amazing!
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! ❤️

Unique
We were drawn to the unique features of this place. The hosts were responsive and the kitchen was nicely stocked for cooking our own meals. If someone is very sensitive to smells, I’d advise you not to stay as their is an overall musty smell despite the dehumidifier running. But if you love staying places that have special features that make your stay memorable, pick this place!
