About this property

Waterfront Cabin Franklin Area with View Sleeps 7

A family cabin on the creek. Greatest View of 1000' of creekfront, (trout hole too) privacy and mountain backdrop. Waterfront - creekfront home on 4 acres with room to roam. (2 kept all natural). Hiking and waterfalls all around like Appalachian trail, Bartrum trail... Dry Falls etc. Awesome spot. The 5-star reviews are because of the creek, the view, the central location and cabin but if your idea of fun is a fancy 5-star hotel then go to the next property please because we offer a family Cabin (nothing fancy) in the best spot and the rest is up to you. This is a PERFECT place to take the kids and/ or grandparents to hang out. I have a full itinerary to share to help you fill a week of activities. Scaly Mountain, Highlands Aerial Park and zip Lining, Primitive Outback Kayaking, Jackson Hole Gem Mining, Guided Trout Stream Fishing, Dry Falls Waterfall, old School Knife Cutlery, Bartram Trail, Appalachin Trail, Biltmore Estate (Asheville), great Smokey Mountain Railroad, Natahal Outdoor Center. Fantastic Places to Eat Haywood Smokehouse, Root & Barrell, Fat Buddies BBQ, Cupboard Cafe, Cafe Rel. The driveway is on the same level as the entry to front door so easy access. In back step go down to creek.. Beautiful Creek Side Home with wood burning fireplace beautiful Australian cypress wood floors, and a flowing creek just below the master and main deck. King, Queen, Full and 2 x Twins. Located on 4 acres. Great little trout fishing hole. Take a plunge or wade in the creek (not deep). Just minutes to Franklin NC and Dillard and Clayton GA. Gem mining, Kayak, zip line, hike, tube, train, NOC, Biltmore, all easy day trips. Great little shallow creek area for children to play to ankles or to pan for gems. Loads for the kids to do with Gem mining sites all around town, cable course, waterfalls, kayaking, old main street Franklin. Plenty to do with kayaking and rafting and gem mining all nearby. Great places to eat for every taste. Come enjoy Franklin, Otto, Dillsborogh areas of North Carolina and make this a special spot. We provide fresh towles, sheets, pillows etc. If you need a special accommodation please reach out directly and we will work out whatever your need.

New Years getaway
Property was as described and clean. Stocked with cookware, utensils, etc. The view of the creek was so picturesque and we enjoyed a bonfire outside even if it was 30 degrees! Inside wood burning fireplace and outside fire pit were amazing! House is easily accessible from main roads. Several grocery stores within 15 minutes. The boys fished everyday and caught small trout. We enjoyed hikes in Highlands, NC and very close Mud Creek Falls. We made a day trip out of Tallulah Gorge State Park and Helen, GA. Good access to so many outdoor activities. Would recommend to 1-2 families as there is plenty of room.

Thanksgiving family trip - charming and pleasant
We brought our “city kids” and suburban living elderly parents here for Thanksgiving and we all had a great time! The place was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment (first rental I have stayed where the knives were sharp and can chop all the veggies and meats!!), and the surrounding area was beautiful! Communication with the owner was easy and responsive! The location is a convenient drive from the Atlanta area which is great. But still close to the national forests for nature, hikes, and fire pit s’mores. We are from the Chicago area and found the temperature in the house to be fine and cozy. Having the outdoor fire pit near the creek was a pleasant way to while away the evenings with family!

Amazing property
When I think of North Carolina, this is it! Beautiful home and beautiful creek with trees all around. Access is also easy, with good roads and mountain valley views along the way. Awesome!

Thank you from our family!
North Carolina is often a destination for our family. Our stay was made even more special at this creekside cabin. Our family was able to play in the creek, fish, kayak, make s'mores, grill out and enjoy nature in a tucked away retreat that offered privacy. It was quiet and peaceful. Our vacation was hard to leave thanks to this little piece of heaven. Thank you Scott for being a wonderful host and trusting us with your special spot which will forever be one of ours. Memories made!!!! Mark, Jodi, Owen and Ollie

About the host

Host profile image
Hope you can enjoy this house. It is just too nice to keep for just us. I am a software exec and go between Florida and North Carolina. This cabin has been exclusively for private use for our family for 25 years and only recently made available for guests so please come and enjoy this paradise.

Why they chose this property

This is what everybody wants. Relax on the deck, enjoy the view of he creek and take a walk in the creek. You can take a plunge in the creek but it is shallow with area about 5' in small portion but most of it is shallow and kids love it. Relax in the creek and try catching some trout. A large deck overlooks a spectacular 1000' of creekfront. This is a clean family friendly home/ cabin with the comforts that you need to have a nice time. It is not a multi million dollar fancy place but instead a comfy family cabin/ house in the right spot convenient to everything. It has the best creek front situation you will find on VRBO for this area. I try my best to provide a 5 star experience according to my guests and I communicate with you during the visit to make sure everything is fine. If something goes wrong I will try my very best to fix it. I work remote and internet works fine for me using programs like gsuite, salesforce.com and zoom (using profile pic) but you are not in big city with fiber optic but never had complaints. We are close to Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA. Fishing behind the house and kids can play in the creek all day long. Shallow part of creek up to ankels and shins. We have pulled various gemstones out of the creek at the bend. This is a private and tranquil setting that you will not want to leave. Beautiful wood floors throughout and all the comforts of home. I have a fish feeder setup and the trout are known to bite on worms, right behind the house if you are lucky. Many kids have caught their first fish here while on vacation.

What makes this property unique

Large deck overlooking private creek where kids will spend their entire day. This is what everyone hopes to have when they visit NC. Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA is nearby about 10-15 minutes to both. Plenty to do around with kayaking, gem mining, waterfall hiking, great restaurants, and all the conveniences but very very private.
