This North Carolina wilderness retreat sits at an elevation of 3,000 feet and boasts long-range views, a stunning top deck, and a rustic-comfortable interior. Located in a private gated community, this serene property is the perfect escape from city living. When you aren't indulging in the home's stunning sunrise, sunset, and rolling landscape views, head for the Nantahala National Forest for peaceful walks. The nearby town of Franklin hosts a plethora of breweries, museums, shops, and restaurants. Spend the day on the slopes at Ski Sapphire Valley or Catalaoochee Ski Area, both within 50 miles of your stay.

The heart of the home presents itself as the spacious living room adorned with a stone fireplace, comfortable seating, and a large TV. From here, effortlessly walk into the full kitchen where a suite of stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space make cooking a breeze. Family-style dinners can be enjoyed at the formal dining table, or even alfresco on the deck. Escalate your cooking by firing up the provided gas grill.

The primary en suite bedroom sports private outdoor access and a spa-like bathroom with dual sinks and an impressive walk-in shower. The additional three bedrooms are just as comfortable with their homey fixtures, partial air-conditioning, and soft quilts.

Downstairs, the family room is a fun place to spin your favorite vinyls and sit back with your loved ones. An additional kitchen is also available in this space, equipped with a private washer/dryer.

The view from the deck was beautiful. Some games may need updating but that wasn’t a big deal. The house was clean. The host was nice and the cleaning lady was friendly also. The drive up was more than I expected because I didn’t realize the house was far up the mountain. But great view on the way up. If you are afraid of driving up a mountain switch drivers lol. Overall nice home, easy to access, friendly and accommodating host and beautiful Mountain View.

Very peaceful and quiet get away retreat! Scenic view of the mountains and the listing is as advertised. I noticed complaints about road access to the property, but it’s on a mountain and not hard to access at all. It’s exactly what you would expect for a mountain retreat! The property appeared clean, but the floors definitely were not. The property manager was very kind & attentive and even offered to have a crew come fix it. That is really our only complaint, would definitely stay again.

Come Up for the Air

This was our first time at this location, and we hope it won’t be our last. The view is spectacular! A little scary up and down the mountain road if you’re not used to it, but after a few drives, it’s not bad. The space itself is GREAT! Clean, spacious, and all the cooking essentials needed for a quality stay. Plenty of room to comfortably sleep quite a few, and a great place to hang out as a family, or friends, including in the “music room”. The location is not too far from downtown Franklin, good for shopping and restaurants. We spent most of our days in the mountains, and depending upon where you go, your trip could be 20 mins, or an hour and 20 mins. BEAUTIFUL drives, either way.

Lovely house with beautiful views. However, unless you are confident driving in the dark, I suggest that you arrive before sunset as the road leading to the house is narrow and winding up the mountain.

Beautiful view but not clean

The property is great for a big family; however, you can tell there is a shortage of cleaning staff in this area. Questionably clean sheets on downstairs beds, dead bugs when you opened curtains, and along the walls; 1/2 used toilet paper rolls with no replacements; dirty dishes in dishwasher, spiders webs covered the porch; blown bulbs were just a few of the unclean conditions. Also, there is no A/C in the bottom bedrooms - it was very uncomfortable. There was a box fan that was missing a blade in the smaller bedroom it was so weird. This would be an amazing property with a little TLC & cleaning. Also, coming from Florida, I didn't consider the time it takes to drive narrow roads up and down a mountain. It was fun and we got to "meet" Luke at Luke's Still Rd; but, running to the store if we needed something wasn't something we could do quickly. And as the listing says you would need a 4x4 in the winter.
