Your private hot tub is just outside your door and offers a great view of the surrounding forest.

Other Things to Note:
The entire cabin is private and for your use only. There are two other cabins under the same roof, each with private entrances, and private porches. Because these lodgings are in a forest, we consider them to be cabins. They have been designed to be private and the only time you will encounter others is on the incoming driveway area. If you would like to not have anyone in an adjacent unit, you may be able to unlist the neighboring cabin (at a fee of $150/night). Unit LT1 is located above LT5. All outdoor hot tubs are private and may be used only with their specific renters.

This cabin offers its guests a hot tub, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Franklin cabin is smoke free.
