Property Description
Enjoy Franklin, NC, our favorite vacation destination! Situated in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Franklin and surrounding area is perfect for discovering Hiking trails, nearby White Water Rafting, river Tubing, and so much more. For a wonderful vacation, there's no need to leave this lovely mountain cabin directly on Jones Creek. Relax on your deck of choice and listen to the Creek while savoring the cool mountain freshness. Fish for trout, play in the Creek just outside your door, and enjoy our 6 Person Hot Tub on a cool Mountain evening. Gather at the Fire Pit or Picnic area.
Located in the beautiful Nantahala National Forest, where breathtaking Mountains, valleys, streams and spectacular Waterfalls abound, Franklin is an official Appalachian Trail friendly destination. We have multiple access points to the AT for short or long hikes. Rich in gems and minerals and known as the “Gem Capital of the World," here in Franklin, gem-mining is an activity enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Downtown shopping, antique browsing, and quality restaurants are all within 12 minutes of this ideal vacation cabin. And if you want to explore further, a day trip to Highlands, Asheville, Atlanta or Nashville is within comfortable driving distance. Harrah's Cassino too is a short 40 minute drive.
This inviting Family home is a well-constructed, well maintained and very clean log cabin with 3 comfortable levels. Satellite TV, WiFi internet and cozy Rock Fireplace in the living Room are here for you, along with fun games (like outside Jenga) and a beautiful outside Hot Tub for up to 6 people. Open the windows and you'll enjoy Mountain breezes and the pleasant sound of Jones Creek, whether you are inside our outdoors.
Imagine your morning coffee or evening chats in this most restful and inviting cool Mountain setting on the Creek in Franklin NC.

We rented this cabin to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was easy to find, super clean, and well-equipped, with no pet hair despite it being pet-friendly.We enjoyed the hot tub, which had incredible jets. We used the fire pit two nights and loved the peaceful atmosphere created by the rushing creek.The hot water for showering was ample and hot like we like it. The Wi-Fi was strong; without it we had zero reception.The upstairs bed was comfortable to us - we are picky! If you have mobility issues, this cabin likely isn't for you. We definitely plan to visit Franklin again and want to return to this cabin. The communication with the hosts was good and so was their availability. And finally, the cabin's location is so private! There is another cabin close by, but due to the sloping of the hill you do not even know another cabin is there until you get in your car to leave.:)

Absolutely beautiful property and space! The photos truly don’t do it justice. My mom, my two best friends, and I spent a peaceful autumn weekend here, and it was everything we hoped for and more.Waking up to the sound of the creek just outside was the perfect way to start each day — so calming and grounding. The hot tub was a major highlight — much more spacious than your average 4-person tub, and perfect for soaking under the stars with the crisp fall air around us.The cabin itself was stunning: thoughtfully decorated, clean, and incredibly cozy. We especially loved the two fire features — the indoor fireplace added a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evenings, and the outdoor fire pit was perfect for late-night chats and s’mores under the trees.Every detail of the stay made it feel like a true escape. We’re already talking about coming back!

Creekside Getaway
Overall we enjoyed our time at Creekside cabin. The creek was the highlight with the tranquil sound you can hear from balcony patio and if not to cold and are able to open the windows from the indoor as well. When we arrived had a small issue that was resolved by owner who was very responsive. The drive up is very short from the road and close to town. Although the main floor is small the overall design of the cabin gives ample space for everyone to have their privacy. From the master with loft upstairs to the spacious basement downstairs with big screen TV and section that lends itself to gathering for movie nights with family.

Yearly friends and family trip
We spent the Labor Day weekend making s’mores by the fire, grilling lots of yummy food and relaxing to the calming sounds of the creek. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. Everyone enjoyed it very much.

Great Spot for a Getaway
Loved listening to the creek, very private, room for everybody. Hot tub was wonderful & it was close enough to town for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy the country roads and no traffic. Our 2 dogs loved it as well. Would definitely stay here again if in the area!
