Thanksgiving in the Mountains

Grandpa Paul Tallahassee, Florida
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
Thanksgiving 2008 .... The chill was in the air, but when family gets together and snuggle around either the indoor fireplace or the outdoor fireplace, the warmth generated by both the fire and the reminscing of family times past brings a coziness and comfort that warms not only the body, but the soul ..
The incredible attention to comfort details were unsurpassed .. Impeccably clean, with all of our needs given the utmost attention .. State of the art kitchen and bathrooms ... All we needed to bring was our clothes and some food..The scenery breathtaking .. our wish was the owners command ... they bent over backwards to accomodate our family of 10 ( ages 11 months to 60 yrs) during this special time ... Rooms large enough and interesting decor that gave us not only space for the family to congegrate, but also gave us individual space for "quiet time"
A stone's throw from entertainment and restaurants... yet privacy at the utmost.. To hike to the top of the mountain gave us a glimpse of Heaven .. Watching the fog roll up from the valley was breathtaking .. There was something for all ages to experience that created memories that will be close to us for a long, long,time to come.. This place is excellent for a family get together, or a romantic get-a-way for couples of all ages..
The only minor inconvenience was having to take our trash to the local landfill ( but it was on the way to the local Bi-Low grocery store) .. The owners treated us in such a way that we felt they were caring for our comfort as if we were their best friends ..
If you can't tell that we enjoyed ourselves so much that we plan on returning at a later date, you haven't been paying attention to this review !!!
Owner's Response: We are interested in our guests and try to go above and beyond to make sure their visit is memorable, comfortable, and relaxing. We have the best housekeepers and do our utmost to keep everything in working order. And, yes, as Paul states, since this is a mountain community, we cannot have trash cans outside and do ask our guests if they have more than a bag or two to run their garbage down to the nearby trash/recycling facility. This is normally necessary for larger groups who stay more than a few days.

Weekend at the Cottage

Mike & Jodie Greenville, SC
Review Submitted: March 2, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This was our second visit to the Cottage....right off, that should tell you how much we enjoyed this property. We love this area of the mountains and this home is a perfect place to enjoy, no matter what time of year you choose. The owner thought of everything to insure your stay is a perfect one whether you are planning a couple's getaway or a family adventure, this home is set up to accomodate your group. It is large enough that everyone can gather together yet provides great privacy with a bath in each bedroom. One of the two fireplaces was our favorite spot while enjoying nature's setting. There are stores, shops, restaurants as well as beautiful scenery and waterfalls within a short distance from the house. There is truly "something for everyone". We will return!

Our visit to the Cottage

Johnny's Girl Boca Raton, Florida
Review Submitted: November 10, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We visited the cottage as a girls getaway and boy did we have a great time. The house is awesome. The setting was so relaxing. We shopped in downtown Franklin during the day, took scenic drives and came back "home" in the evenings to hang out around the fireplace and relax. It was amazing. We sat outdoors by the fireplace for hours and then would go in to watch a movie (next to the indoor fireplace) before turning in. It was so peaceful and quite. I slept like a baby every night. I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else when in the area. This house really felt like home. We really liked how you feel so secluded and away from everything yet within minutes you are in town with lots of shopping and terrific restaurants. Getting to places like Waynesville and Asheville were very simple drives. We were able to take off for the day and get back quickly (and easily) to the house in the evenings. We took some really nice hikes around the house too and saw some breathtaking views. The house is really close to several waterfalls that we were able to visit too which was really neat. We really appreciated the walking sticks that were provided in the house for our use. They came in really handy. We couldn't have chosen a better location for our getaway. We plan to come back very soon.
