The home was very well stocked, and clean. The only problem we had was the propane fireplace would not start, and the hot tub kept kicking the circuit off. Luckily my husband is an electrician, and kept the hot tib running. We had 8 adults and the space was really great. You might also mention that its best to have an AWD car to get up the driveway in your listing. All in all it was a great place and we loved it

Pleasant stay for the family. Nine and a baby. Cabin is spacious, with plenty of room for cooking and eating. Really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. Spectacular view off the back deck. 4-5 mile drive back to Franklin, but was worth it.

Our family’s Thanksgiving stay was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we booked, everything was seamless and stress-free. When we arrived, we were greeted by thoughtful Thanksgiving décor and festive touches that made us feel instantly at home. The host went above and beyond—even providing seasonal paper goods, which was such a sweet surprise.The house itself was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. It felt like every detail had been considered to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We cooked, laughed, and celebrated together without a single worry because everything was just perfect.This experience exceeded all expectations, and we are so grateful for the care and effort that went into making our holiday special. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

Favorite mountain home!

Our family has had the joy of staying at this amazing home twice and both times were fantastic! There’s plenty of room to spread out while feeling cozy and welcoming at the same time. The location is perfect for quick drives to hiking trails and quaint, downtown Franklin. We also enjoyed staying home and playing outdoor games in the large backyard. Our grandchildren especially loved the hot tub!

Family Getaway

We absolutely loved this home. We had 12 adults and 2 children. Everyone was comfortable and not crowded. The pool table and foos ball were a great hit. The drive was winding and beautiful. We were able to enjoy downtown Franklin, Highlands, Glenville Lake, the national forest, thrifting all from our awesome home base.

If you are looking for a family friendly home away from home this will fill the bill. We were a family of 13 with a small dog and could not be happier with our selection of this cabin. It was a little further from the venue we were attending but well worth the drive. The Beswick’s had everything that you could ever need for entertaining 4 year old kids to 75 year old grandparents. We will be booking again for a vacation next year.

Wonderful vacation

This house was perfect for our extended family. It had everything we needed and more. If you enjoy cooking together, the kitchen is roomy and well equipped. Each couple took a night and cooked for the whole group. Besides taking in and enjoying the beautiful view from the living room and porch, there are plenty of other things to do both inside and outside. It was the perfect getaway and we plan to return next year.

From the kitchen to the toys, crib to king size beds, everything well stocked! And the views, the best of NC. Thank you for the memories made, we will be back for more.

Lots of room for our large family

I would definitely stay here again. There was lots of room for all 15 of us. The wrap-around deck was wonderful. The hot tub was used every night. Not too far from Franklin where there were lots of cute shops and good restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked with all sorts of pots, pans, dishes, plenty of silverware, etc. I highly recommend.

Great getaway spot.

We had a large group, 15 people, and this cabin accommodated us perfectly. There's plenty of room for play, game room , outdoor patio and large yard. And many bedrooms for quiet time. This was our first family vacation since COVID and we truly enjoyed having this beautiful cabin to do some bonding time in. We highly recommend it and plan on coming back again. ❤️
