Nestled in the Mountains near Dry Falls! Easy access!

Newly remodeled private modern farmhouse with easy access, nestled amongst the trees in a quiet neighborhood with rocking chair front porch to sit and listen to the Cullasaja River and enjoy a cup of morning coffee! Also enjoy the serene outdoors right in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains just minutes from downtown Franklin and Highlands/Cashiers. The waterfalls are a must see! This house sits right above the Cullasaja river so the sound of the rapids is in your back door! During the fall and winter you will have views of the river from the porch! We are just minutes from area attractions If you enjoy hiking, waterfalls, gem mining, snow tubing, rafting, fishing, riding motorcycles, and beautiful scenery this is the place for you!

We are centrally located between Franklin and Highlands/Cashiers. We are just minutes from Dry Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The closest grocery store is 6 minutes away. Downtown Franklin is 8 minutes away with shopping, eating, and breweries. We are just 45 minutes from the Cherokee casino and 10 minutes from the Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center! There are a lot of hiking trails in the area as well. Standing Indian Trail Peak, Nantahala National Forest, Wayah Bald Fire Tower, and Bartram Trail just to name a few.

We offer a fully equipped kitchen should you choose to eat in or just relax and go downtown to grab something from one of the local restaurants and take a stroll through all of the quaint little shops!

We like to refer to this property as Turtle Haven. It is named in a tribute to our parents. My mom and dad called each other “Big Turtle” after my mom endured chemotherapy treatments and lost all of her hair. She would be in bed under the blankets and my dad said she looked like a turtle. From that day forward they called each other “Big Turtle” . This is our way of keeping their memory alive. We hope you make lots of memories here just as we have!

Come visit Franklin, NC and see why “life is better in the country” and where southern hospitality is a way of life!

***There is a security camera on the exterior of the house. No indoor cameras!!!

Very nice property
We stayed for a quick, quiet birthday getaway. The property was exactly as listed and extremely clean. The house was decorated for Christmas which made it so much more cozy. The communication with the property manager was smooth and very prompt. We will definitely be back for another stay this fall.

Beautiful home nestled in the mountains and perfect for our 4 night stay. Very clean, convenient, and comfortable stay. Enjoyed the nearby waterfalls, daily walks in the neighborhood and mountain drives. Will definitely return to this little piece of paradise. Selena was great to work with and answered all questions.

Perfect Cozy House
I came into town for a few days to house shop with a realtor and brought my two teenage kids along. This house was just perfect and so cute! Looks exactly like in the online photos. Selena was awesome - we decided to extend our stay by another day and she was super responsive. I would definitely recommend this home!
