Check-in was seamless! Host was very flexible and we received all necessary information prior to our arrival. House was clean and well appointed. Was equipped with everything you could possibly want or need to prepare meals. Plenty of room to ensure everyone had privacy and room to stretch out. The children in our party loved the large yard and creek. Spent many hours enjoying the outdoor experience. Firepit was a nightly event. Very nice for the whole family to enjoy the gathering together. Would recommend this house and plan to return in the future.
Beautiful property with plenty of room for all of us to spread out and explore. Cabin was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed during our stay.
Loved the location and the home! Perfect for our family vacation! Very private and spacious, well supplied with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bartram Trail to Williams Pulpit was a bit of a challenge!
We had an amazing time here! The cabin was spacious and everything was just as described! The kitchen was very well stocked which is always appreciated. It's a great location, full of beauty and we loved the proximity to the waterfall trail! It was also very close to town which was convenient for groceries at Aldi or Walmart as needed. Thanks again!
Cold, but fun!!! We enjoyed each other for our Christmas
We love being together for holiday and not ever leaving the cabin. Well, except hike to waterfalls. Cookies, Fudge, etc.; Home was very, very nice and all the guys had a blast watching football!! Go Falcons.
Gorgeous property with so much room to spread out. Great kitchen space with everything you need to make a big meal. Property was gorgeous and literally right next to the Wallace Branch trailhead. The hike to the waterfall was quick - gorgeous views of you keep climbing the mountain! Fire pit was a favorite and plenty of chairs (8) for the group. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were really nice with great water pressure. No issues at all with the WiFi. Loved our time there and would definitely stay again.
My family and I headed to Franklin for a long weekend with a large group (four families) ranging in age from 2-70. The cabin had ample space for everyone to gather together for meals ad well as their own space for sleeping. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with all we needed. Close to hiking trails and a waterfall everyone was able to walk to. Beautiful view from front porch and large yard for the children to explore!
This place is very nice, lots of amenities and plenty of room. Our only issue was that the Wi-Fi and internet availability was either not working or very poor. This has to do with the internet company the owners use and how data runs out near the end of the billing month. Unfortunately for us most of data has run out and âtokens had to be used which wasnât adequate. The property managers worked diligently on this problem to get us the little Wi-Fi we did get and offered us a solution the owners were no part of. If they are using same internet company then you may want to think twice if Wi-Fi is important to you.
We enjoyed visiting Highlands and the waterfalls. The people are very welcoming. The house was perfect for our needs. The trail beside the house was beautiful. The internet is slow but we are right beside Natanhala. I would love to come back next year.
Enjoyed a week with the family surrounded by the mountains of North Carolina. Franklin has always been a special place for our family to visit and really enjoyed our stay at Bartram Trail Acres Chalet. Only 5 minutes from town which was very convienent and an hour or less for activites for the family to enjoy. Would love to come back for another visit in the future.
Amazing property with room for large family to spread out. Creek for kids and adults alike to hunt for treasures and gems. My kids loved making smores around the fire pit. Teenagers loved the little loft above the carport. While the property is close enough to the town, you could hear a pin drop sitting out on the back porch. Took me back to my childhood in the Appalachian mountains of Pennsylvania.
House was better than described, and the location was phenomenal. Just minutes to everything in town, but also gave the feeling of being tucked away in the middle of the Nantahala national forest. We hope to come back and stay here again in the future.
Took the grandkids and pets and had a wonderful time. There were only four of us but there could have been 8 more and it still would not have been crowded. The house is plenty big, very clean and decorated nicely. The property is huge. There are two walking trails practically at the end of the driveway. The pics are accurate. It was nice and quiet. Restaurants within 10-15 minutes away. I never left the place. I just sent the grandkids to get everything we needed. Had to make them useful. All in all it was a wonderful time. Even my two dogs had a great time. Plenty of room for them to explore. Only 1 thing i would like to see improve, and I am pretty sure this is the case with most of the rentals in the mountains, is the internet speed is slow. Not sure anything can be done about that. It works but not that great. A little boost would surely help. It wont stop me from coming back. Which we will definitely be planning to do soon. Thank you for allowing us to rent your home.
Wonderful home/cabin. Plenty of room for everyone, 7 of us. Beds were comfy, a big win. Kitchen was a great gathering spot. We went hiking and just spent time together at the cabin. This may become an annual trip.
Recommend a few more chairs at the fire pit, and include wood for visitors.
We had a wonderful girls weekend with plenty of room! We went to Bryson City for the train ride and spent the day in Dillsboro shopping and dinner. The house is spacious for everyone to spread out and it's stocked with everything you could possibly need! The house was spotless and very comfortable. Beds and bathrooms were great! Waterfall hike was close to house and not all that difficult for us beginners. Location of house was close to town and major highways. You wont find a better home in the area to visit! Great memories were made and we appreciate the owners sharing their beautiful home!
Great location. Kitchen well stocked. Lots of gathering areas for large families. The bedroom
over the garage could be improved for sleeping
by installing at least a queen size ned. Beds need upgrades.Week was very peaceful, weather was wonderful,
Would recommend highly.
We were looking for a cabin in the woods not too far from a city but not too close, and where our dogs could roam and enjoy themselves and we could relax and take a stroll in the forest with them and friends. This house is perfectly located for all of this. The house is wonderful. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Lighting is bright. Bathrooms have been remodeled and super clean. The yard is large, with plenty of room to spread your wings and relax. We wish we could have stayed longer. The town of Franklin is up and coming and has many things to see and do.
