Great place/Great Communication

The home was absolutely stunning. It was great for a long weekend - close to town for groceries, but still totally private/isolated. We had a maintenance issue upon check-in and Margaret took care of it instantly! Would definitely stay again.

The scenery is fantastic with wonderful views all around the property. This home is decorated with much thought and great taste. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine for cooking better than any home I’ve vacationed in before. All the light switches are labeled which was very helpful. Beautiful vacation home.

Sons Wedding

I booked this property for my family several months ago so we could attend my son's wedding in Franklin. It is not an exaggeration to say that it's probably the nicest property that we have ever rented. We have traveled extensively over the years, but this property checked all of the boxes. Incredible views, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and decorated beautifully. Although the wedding was perfect, we really had a hard time leaving the house. We are already making plans to visit the area again at some point and hope to stay at the same place if it's available.

Great upscale mountain getaway

Outstanding! Great space inside and amazing views! Appliances and furnishings are excellent. 7 adults and two toddlers… plenty of space. We were there for Thanksgiving, so did a good bit of cooking. Best equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. Great appliances and pots/pans/tools.
