We chose this spot to escape the late July heat in south Georgia, and it did not disappoint! The cabin has great air circulation and AC if needed. We dined out on the deck, took long walks with the dog down and back up the steep mountain road, and hiked on trails near Franklin. The Lazy Hiker Brewing Company is a cool place to raise a pint.

Disappointing
Cabin is cute and view is great. That being said streaming kept buffering or would go completely out. Satellite didn’t work as instruction’s stated. Internet was one bar awful.I can see why there are so many dvds. Hot tub jets were not the best. A warning about the gravel road and how high and twisty it is would be nice. Our tires skidded more than once with rain. Scarey! Called and emailed owners about satellite tv never got a response. Not Tons to Do in area either. Did find some good restaurants in Franklin. Beds are comfy and lots of towels and blankets.

Long weekend in NC
Enjoyed “Mammy’s” cabin outside of Franklin, NC. Cabin is well equipped and really enjoyed hot tub after long drive from Florida. Great location just be prepared for bit of drive up the mountain (some gravel narrow roads) and is probably 20 minute drive fro Franklin. Took a day to drive to Highlands and Rosman, beautiful drive on 64.Great views and very peaceful, will come back again!

Cabin on top of the mountain
Beautiful little cabin on the top of the mountain no neighbors super quiet just cute as a button. The hot tub was a great touch unfortunately all we got was rain the whole time we were here so we didn't get much of a view but you can tell it's gorgeous.

We loved the cabin and the scenery. I thought the sunsets would be on the hot tub side of the cabin and the road getting to the cabin was very scary. However, we loved it. The cabin was clean and cozy.

Perfect Getaway!
My husband I and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the BEST trip! There were notes all over the cabin for use of heat/air conditioning, extra towels/pillows, and instructions on using the fire place. Everything was clean, neat and easy to use. The morning and night views were always amazing. The back porch is what faces the sunrise so watching the birds at the bird feeder in the morning in rocking chairs was so nice. Can not brag enough about how amazing our stay was at Mammy’s cabin.

Be careful with the drive up! Stunning place, however!
The view is just as described-absolutely beautiful. It is very serene and you feel like you're alone up on the mountain. The hot tub was a great place to end our evenings. The drive is just as others described...treacherous. I wouldn't try it without 4-wheel drive. Communication with host was great! If you are a larger person, you may not be able to get up the winding stairwell to go to the upstairs loft - FYI!

Great views and cabin was exactly as described. You are literally on top of the mountain so highly recommend a truck or vehicle with 4x4 capability to climb up unpaved gravel roads.

Amazing Getaway in Mountains
If you want something remote, peaceful, quiet, surrounded by nature - this is it!! Exactly what we were looking for.
I will say - Wifi did not work at all and service was spotty...and if you're trying to go out every day and do things, it is a 25+ min drive down the mountain just to reach normal roads.
We stayed a full week and only went down twice, really enjoyed the quiet time in the cabin. It has everything you need. Hot tub with the view was awesome! Fireplace was amazing. We did all our grocery shopping first day and cooked there. Lots of blankets and pillows, chopped firewood, kitchen utensils, ice trays.
Thank you for a wonderful week.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin is at the TOP of a mountain so the view is fabulous. Great sunrise and gorgeous leaf colors surround the cabin and the drive up to it.. Nicely furnished with period antiques. It is cozy so look at the total square feet and make sure this is right for you. Very nice host and Franklin and surrounding area are fun to explore.

Wonderful, secluded cabin
They did a good job instructing where everything was and how to use it. They had a binder full of interesting history about the cabin that we enjoyed. The road is very well kept up with to get to the top of the mountain. The fire place and supplied wood was wonderful. The kids loved having a fire each evening.

Fantastic Adventure
This rental is amazing! From its rustic charm to its wonderful history shared through pictures, articles and a summary written by the owner, you will be immersed in its authenticity! The sunrises from the hot tub, the birds swarming the bird feeders on the deck, the incredible Cracker Barrel decor, and the wonderful winding road to the top of the mountain are all just icing on the cake. I highly recommend for a romantic getaway. So quaint and warm. We will return and we can’t wait!
