About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cindy's Island Riverfront

If it's river frontage you want - you've found it! You can literally drop a line in and fish while standing on the deck. The views up and down the river are tremendous and onsite you'll find tubes for a lazy afternoon float down the river.
This cozy two-bedroom cottage is perfect for 2-4 guests. There's a nice woodstove for chilly mornings and evenings, Internet (wireless) and Satellite TV.
Well located between Highlands and Franklin so a quick jaunt up or down the mountain is easy and direct.

Anniversary at Cindy's Island

We had a great stay! Place was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. Being right on the water was appealing to the eye and hearing the sound of the water going over the rocks brought peacefulness. We will stay here again. Also, Franklin is a great town! One of our now favorites!
