Locust Flats

About this space
Just what everyone is looking for, a cozy home in the hills, private and quiet. It lives bigger than big, the deck alone will keep you amused, looking down over the world. There is a large "side" yard with a fire-pit for all of you who have missed real flames, now is your chance.

Easy access to WNC and Lake Glenville.

Everything is new, clean, and perfect for 2 couples, or a couple with children or even a weekend getaway for two.

Quiet and private setting, not a soul around but you.

Everything you'll need is on the main level, great room, kitchen, dining, bedroom and bath. Upstairs is a very private master suite, the whole floor. Huge (king) bed, private bath, walk-in closet all with plenty of light.

Great Cabin!
This cabin is as advertised. The cabin is very clean. We definitely enjoyed our stay. The driveway is steep but as long as your vehicle isn’t very low to the ground you should be fine.

Locust Flats Provided a Wonderful, Relaxing Smoky Mountain Retreat!
Locust Flats was the perfect retreat we were looking for to escape the Florida heat and enjoy some peaceful, relaxation in the cool Smoky Mountains. Modern, new, super clean….this cabin was well-appointed and conveniently located between Highlands and Franklin. We enjoyed sitting outdoors and reading , or sitting by the campfire. We made several easy day trips to Highlands, Franklin, Sylva, Cherokee, the Great Smoky Mountain Nat’l Park, and Gatlinburg, TN. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, comfortable, welcoming mountain cabin with us! We loved it, and we’re already looking forward to a return visit soon!

Cool weather getaway
First, the good-to-great. The cabin was exceptionally clean, extremely well appointed and appeared to have been recently renovated. The owner has put a lot of thought into the amenities and toiletries available. The property is well maintained with a variety of outdoor seating areas on the wrap around deck. Now the not-so-good. The mattress in the master bedroom is sorely in need of either a replacement or a thick mattress pad. Access to the cabin is a drive through a small creek and then up a steep, narrow gravel road. My truck was able to make the climb, but I suspect lighter passenger cars could have problems with a couple of sharp turns onto 45-degree inclines. We made a point of not going out or coming back to the cabin after dark to avoid driving the road. A warning about cabin access should be pointed out in the listing.

A nice private mountain cabin
This cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay in the mountains. A short drive to the towns of Franklin, Cashiers and the Highlands and surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscape in the region. The property manager, Kristi, provided exceptional service from our last-minute check-in to our extended stay. The cabin is well-appointed, clean and spacious, and the grounds were perfect for letting our Golden explore. We didn't have any trouble with the driveway or crossing the small creek in our Toyota Highlander and would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to the mountains.

Snowed in and had so much fun!
My family of four stayed in this charming little cabin in the woods throughout snowstorm Izzy. Overall we ended up with around 7-8 inches of snow. We had so much fun building a large snowman, walking the beautiful property and having many snowball fights. This snowstorm got pretty rough at times with strong winds and we lost power for 30 hours before we were able to leave safely when the roads were plowed. The great news is that the gas fireplace in the living room kept the home very warm…we actually had to sleep with it off so we wouldn’t get too hot. The propane grill on the deck also has a cooktop eye so we were able to grill and cook so many things. The home is very comfortable and even had a landline phone we could use to call from when our cell phone batteries were low. The owners were so kind and continued to check in on us. I would suggest having an AWD or a 4WD vehicle especially during the winter months. To access the property you will drive through a shallow creek and make two sharp turns on your assent. Overall it’s not very difficult but if you think you will have ice or snow you will need to park down closer to the creek so that you don’t get iced in. Through the storm we loved our family time together playing in the snow, reading by the fireplace and playing card games. Sometimes being forced to unplug turns out to be a huge blessing! We can’t wait to come back when we can do more exploring!

Perfect family getaway!
This was our first time in North Carolina. We traveled with our two small kids and our dog and by far one of our best trips. The home was perfect! The view of the surrounding woods was wonderful, the sounds from the creek and the birds in the morning were very relaxing. I found myself getting up early every morning, before my family got up, to make myself a cup of coffee and sit out on the deck in rocking chairs and read a book. It was really great to find a beautiful and comfortable home that allowed our pet, and boy did he enjoy every minute outdoors. We all enjoyed the outdoor space very much. This is the perfect home to get away and relax!!

Beautiful Cabin, Comfy And Secluded
April’s home was so clean and cozy with plenty of space. The driveway up does require AWD as it is steep and needs enough clearance for a small creek. I think this needs to be noted in the listing. I had some issues communicating with April because I was replying via email, and didn’t realize she was trying to communicate via the VRBO app! No ones fault there, just a miscommunication. The house features amazing fire pits (gas and wood!), gorgeous views, all the appliances needed. One suggestion would be to have more blankets during the winter months. Thanks again to April for a lovely stay!

Relaxing and Secluded
Locust Flats is a very relaxing and nicely secluded place in the woods, centrally located between Franklin and Highlands. And in close proximity to hiking and great waterfalls. After the days touring we made sure to be back on the deck by late afternoon for happy hour, and to watch the sun setting through the trees. The house had been remodeled and updated recently. We loved kitchen, gas fireplace and tabletop fire pit on the big deck. The master bedroom and overstuffed living room furniture are very comfortable. The house was thoroughly clean when we arrived. And April left snacks and the ingredients for s’mores, which we really enjoyed. We would definitely stay there again. We hiked up to Yellow Mountain Fire Tower, Whitewater Falls, Rainbow Falls, Dry Falls and Callasaja Falls (treacherous - bring a rope), and enjoyed Bridal Veil Falls, grilling on the deck, picnicking on the Callasaja River and the Highlands Smokehouse (5⭐️). Ingles Supermarket in Franklin (12 mi W) has the most inexpensive gas.

Great Hideaway tucked in the woods.
House is closest to Franklin but within 20 - 25 mins of Cashiers and Highlands. Highly recommend Root and Barrel in Franklin and On the Verandah in Highlands (need reservation). We have an AWD Land Cruiser, but certainly a rear wheel drive vehicle would have problems climbing the drive up to the house. House was very clean, great great hosts! Be aware you are in the woods, second night we were outside enjoying the fire pit when most likely an owl let out a shrill that had wife and literally jump up. Wont need cardio for at least a week and i am a hunter so i am not normally thrown by noises in the woods. Highly recommend if you want a nice place somewaht close but not too close to others. Dry Falls nearby is a must see! Again the hosts were second to none! April Moore and her team are great to work with, highly recommend!

Beautiful home in Mountains
We loved this property. We were only there for two nights but it was a wonderful stay. So clean -especially for pet friendly. It has everything you need with some great thoughtful touches. It was so well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The outside was excellent. Tons of seating, fire pit and even a seating area on the large deck with a fire feature. We would highly recommend this property. I would suggest to be prepared for the short drive up to the house from the road which we are used to and was no issue since we have a Jeep. And also there is no trash service so you have to take it with you when you leave which was fine since we were only there for a short time did not have much. Again great property! One of the best! Thank you!

Wonderful getaway
We had a great 2-week stay at Locust Flats. It is very peaceful and quite remote....no neighbors! The house was spotless and had everything we needed, very well-decorated also. The master bedroom upstairs has windows on 3 sides with lush trees outside...we left the shades open so it felt like we were in a treehouse when waking up in the morning! The deck is huge with lots of nice furniture. The front porch is covered so on rainy days we were able to sit on the rockers and listen to the rain. There was a nice welcome sign and snacks upon our arrival, which was such a nice touch. While remote, the house is convenient to Franklin, Highlands, and Cahiers. It was also so nice to have a dog with us...he loved exploring the grounds. April was very responsive to all questions.

The house on Locust Flats was exactly as advertised, equipped with everything we needed, and very clean and well furnished. We were able to relax and enjoy our stay, especially liked the gas-powered fire table on the huge deck. Climb to property is a bit steep but our front wheel drive SUV had no trouble.

Great property in a great location
Check in process was very smooth, and this cabin is wonderfully furnished and appointed. The hosts have thought of literally everything, from fire starting materials to corn on the cob holders in the kitchen. Location is remote and quiet, but all of the sights and activities in this area are just a short drive away. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet hideaway. Nearest neighbors are about a half mile away. The driveway to the property is long and a little steep in some places. You must also cross a small creek to get there as well. Really enjoyed our stay here, host is very responsive to any questions.
