Wonderful in every way!

This is a hidden jewel. The house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and one 4yo. The view is amazing. The kitchen well stocked which means a lot because we actual cook a lot. I hope to be able to return again one day and will definitely suggest to friends.

A Little Bit of Heaven, Indeed!

This property is priceless. Comfortable and relaxing with lovely finishes. The kitchen has everything you need. The game room was a hit with our younger guests. And the upstairs tv and sitting area was cozy and enjoyable. The driveway was a little intimidating, at first, but a mid-sized SUV and large Dodge truck made it in and out several times without mishap, entering nose first or backing in. And the view is definitely a little bit of heaven!

Everything we needed

This house had everything our 2 families with teen boys needed. There was plenty of bed space for everyone. Teens hung out upstairs in the loft living area or in the basement area playing pool or ping pong which they loved. They in-house speaker system was fun, too. The kitchen was very well equipped with every item we needed, plus when we arrived there were already a few spices and a little coffee which helped out immensely. The view from the front porch was lovely and I really enjoyed hanging out there. We would stay here again.

Extremely perfect

The house was amazing. The view was even better. It’s so peaceful at night on the deck while having coffee and to watch the fog lift up out of the valley below in the morning.We stayed at the house most of the time and we had a great time. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Why they chose this property

In the late 70's we helped our parents build their first NC Mountain home in Robinsville. After my father-in-law passed away we encouraged Mom to sell the Robinsiville home. It only took us a few years to realize how much we missed the beautiful NC Mountains. We decided that we were always taking day trips from remote Robinsville to Franklin where it seemed everything was happening. It only made sense to build the next house in the beautiful quaint town of Franklin. We took the plans from the original house and expanded it and made it a true NC home. We designed it to accommodate our own family reunions. There is plenty of space for the whole gang and lots to do right at the house or in the surrounding area. Our view will knock your socks off and secluded enough that you feel like you are the only ones on the mountain. We never intended to rent our home so this home is a little nicer than most, with Corian counter tops and upgraded appliances. We decided to share it with others as it was a shame to not have it used until we can be up there full time.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite activities at our 'Little Bit of Heaven' is: Eating meals out on the deck and watching the sun set. Taking walks after dinner on the quiet road in front of the house.

I love challenging what ever guests or family to a game of pool in the evening. I must say my personal favorite is to wait until everyone has gone to bed and sit out on the deck and watch the lights of the town of Franklin. It is so quiet and the solitude is indescribable!!

We also like going to 'Picking on the Square' on Saturday nights in Franklin. We love going white water rafting on the Nantahala. Our goal is to learn to Fly Fish in the local streams. We also like finding new places to hike and my personal favorite is to photograph all the cool waterfalls in the area.
