About this house rental
Our cabin is located 12 miles out of Franklin, NC near the Little Tennessee River. We are in easy traveling distance to whitewater rafting, kayaking both flat water and whitewater, fly fishing rivers, gem mining, zip lining, horseback riding, Deep Creek tubing, river tubing , The Appalachian Trail, hiking trails, waterfalls, Smoky Mountain Train excursions, Cherokee attractions/casino, Dollywood, Smoky Mountain National Forest, Blue Ridge Parkway, Elk viewings and Biltmore Estate in Asheville.
The space
Our cabin is on a quiet mountain 12 miles NW of Franklin, NC. Elevation about 2,000 ft. It has 2 bedrooms with 2 baths, king and queen sized beds and a bunk bed in a commons area.. Our favorite feature is our covered side deck with table and chairs for quiet meals while being entertained by the Hummingbirds vying over our two feeders. Plus, we have a fire pit where guests can gather to toast s'mores. And nothing beats the coziness of the gas burning stove for those chilly evenings or mornings. We have lots of family and children’s games and puzzles in the commons area plus books and DVDs. We also have Dish network satellite TV with DVR in the living room and the Master bedroom. Satellite WiFi allows Face Time and Zoom conferences..
Guest access
Guests have sole access to the whole house with hiking sticks for walks on our mountain or other nearby trails & outings near our many beautiful rivers and waterfalls. Our favorite place to picnic is at Deep Creek near Bryson City where there are tube rentals for tubing and picnic tables with grills, changing rooms and bathrooms. Bryson City is also where train excursions originate and a must see train museum with a huge working multiple model train layout. Be sure to check our Guidebook for plenty of things to see and do.
Other things to note
We don’t allow pets for the comfort and peace of mind for other guests who have pet allergies. We are also a non-smoking listing.
Because we are 12 miles from Franklin, NC, we message our confirmed guests complete information about local grocery stores so they can pick up groceries before arriving at the cabin.
Additional note: As further precautions during the pandemic we block off dates between guests to be able to clean more thoroughly. We use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer additive for all towels and washables. We also wash all bed linens including quilts, blankets, and even the mattress covers. We leave a container of alcohol wipes for our guests and liquid hand sanitizer. Of course we wipe down remotes, switches, door knobs and keypads with alcohol wipes too. We spray non-washable fabrics with Lysol disinfectant spray.

We loved this place. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and spices. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the birds and squirrels.

The cabin was a wish come true, absolutely gorgeous. Found it well equipped, absolutely nothing negative. We rarely stay in a cabin more than once (we like different locations in N.C.). Sheeps Knob will be an exception, just can’t say enough positive things about our stay. Graham and Linda were superb hosts.
