2nd time stay, still wonderful!

Love the location and respite from the heat of Hilton Head. Our Black Labrador was in doggie heaven with the cool mountain air and fields of grass to roll and romp in. Great front porch to relax on with an adult beverage, and Mike & Sam are great hosts. We will be back!

Our relaxing visit

When we arrived at the cottage, we were thrilled with the location, the curb appeal, and the friendly greeting from one of the owners. The property is immaculate and on entry to the cottage we were, again, beyond happy. The decor, the accommodations, the furniture were so beautiful, comfortable and well thought out. Our daily visits from Tucker just made Newt, my dog, so happy. We had a delightful, relaxing visit And definitely hope to return soon.

Loved Our Visit In Franklin

Our stay at The Guest Cottage, was fabulous! The Cottage is absolutely adorable, spotless, comfortable and the setting could not be better! Franklin is a charming area, convenient to many places we wanted to visit. The owners of the Cottage are extremely hospitable and welcoming! We will definitely stay here again when in this area!

Beautiful cottage in lovely mountain setting

The Guest House is a gem. It is so cozy, clean, well stocked kitchen, and beautifully decorated. It’s hard to leave the front porch. Sam, Mike and Tucker are wonderful hosts. Thank you for the delicious blueberry muffins and wine. Look forward to returning in the spring!

Fantastic stay!

Our hosts Sam and Mike provided comfortable accommodations making sure every detail was covered. Leaving the lights on for our late arrival, bottle of wine with fresh flowers and homemade pound cake welcoming us on kitchen counter, luxury sheets and towels, and peaceful surroundings enjoyed on the front porch rockers and hillside swing made for a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend away from the city hustle. We have already booked our next stay!

Outstanding Property

This is the second time for my wife and I stayed at the "Quest House". The reasons we came back is the first visit provided us with a super relaxing visit. The Guest House is located in a scenic quiet setting in the mountains of Franklin NC that provided us an opportunity to relax & unwind. Owners Mike and Sam are gracious hosts that can't seem to do enough for their guests. Unfortunately, the scale only 5 Stars because we give it a 10+. House was very clean and well stocked with all you would need for a great stay. Highly - Highly recommend!!
