The waterfalls were so lovely and the swing up by them was an extra bonus. Waking up in the morning and here the bird and feeding them was awesome. The cover porch was a great place to enjoy my morning coffee. I had an amazing time. I hope to book again

A Quick Zen Getaway
This property was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. As autumn approaches, this was a great spot to sit in rocking chairs on the porch, watch the birds, and take in the distance peaks of the mountains. A lovely, quaint cottage with hiking and water feature on the property, plus quick access to lovely trails and waterfalls nearby.

Peaceful Retreat
The property was a great opportunity for my wife and I to escape from work and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains. We explored several parks in Georgia and kayaked multiple times on lake Emory in Franklin. We also visited lake Glenville and Cherokee. This is a good quiet pace for a couple to relax and also explore the area.The owners are very nice and knowledgeable of the area.

Relaxing!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Loved sitting on the porch in the refreshing breeze watching the many birds at the feeders. The river was nice for exploring and fishing. Very private and peaceful. Many good restaurants in the area and lots of nature to see. The cottage was very clean and even had some history behind it!

Darling cottage with gorgeous view!
This property was exactly what we needed for a weekend to decompress! The porch has a beautiful view of the mountains and bird feeders where the birds come right up near you to feed (including hummingbirds!). It's perfect for a couple to get away and relax...with pups if you've got them. Jim & Carman left us a welcome note, yummy pound cake and fresh water for our girls. Couldn't ask for nicer hosts.

Beautiful mountain getaway
We loved this beautiful, clean cabin and the surrounding mountain amenities - it’s even better than described, with uniquely delightful surprises like so many birds! fresh flowers throughout! It’s remote enough to feel secluded and private, yet near enough to neighbors and local towns to retain a sense of community and ease of accesa. Carman and Jim are generous and thoughtful hosts, providing special touches even for our kid and dog. We will definitely be back, and the only reason we’d discourage others from booking is to have more opportunity to visit ourselves. 😉 Finally, the ambience of the property and the hosts’ warm welcome include the conveniences of modern technology and amenities while retaining the elusive community spirit and appreciation for place and travel that characterized earlier travel clubs. One of our best VRBO stays yet.

Exactly as advertised, yet exceeded expectations. Luxury linens, professionally cleaned and sterilized. Perfect for privacy, porch sitting and mountain temps. Carmen and Jim tuned in to your personal interests and give generous advice, if asked. We enjoyed our little dog, walking to the waterfalls and down to the river. Conveniently located for fun activities, gemstone mining, hiking trails and cute historic downtowns to shop, play and eat. Let's talk BBQ!

Best kept secret in North Carolina
Wonderful, relaxing. Owners warm and welcoming. Fresh, homemade pound cake and sprigs of fresh flowers and greenery adorned the cottage upon our arrival. The ever-changing mountains shouted out in majestic glory splashing her radiance upon our front porch view. A waterfall trailed peacefully behind the cottage with a swing that beckoned one to sit awhile. Location great for diverse activities: hiking, sightseeing, shopping, zip line. A plethora of fine dining to fun, local eateries to choose from. Great treasure.
