Mountain Air Cabin near Franklin, Cashiers and Highlands, North Carolina

Adorable & freshly renovated cabin located in a private wooded community between Highlands and Franklin in the Nantahala National Forest. Our light & airy cabin is nestled on almost 4 acres of woodsy, mountainous terrain and is private and picturesque, yet still convenient to town. We love relaxing on the front porch, surrounded by nature and enjoying the sounds and views from the front porch. It is a peaceful cabin to relax & enjoy the cool breezes and scenery of the Smoky Mountains.

The home was recently updated with all new comfortable memory foam beds & a mix of new furniture and vintage treasures from the local antique shops. It has an open layout that fits 4 guests comfortably. We also enjoy sitting on the front porch swing with a beverage or roasting some marshmallows by the fire-pit and enjoying the mountain views and scenery.

The nicely equipped kitchen features a fridge with an ice maker, microwave, oven, coffee maker (drip and Keurig) pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and glassware are all included. We also provide a gas grill for outdoor BBQs, just keep in mind sometimes the tank may require filling.

Our cabin is conveniently located in between three tourist friendly areas: Franklin, Highlands (10 miles) and the Cashiers and Lake Glenville area (8 miles). In the area, there are over 15 waterfalls, including the 200-foot cascading Cullasaja Falls and above that is Dry Falls, a powerful 65-foot waterfall that you can walk under. Enjoy picturesque, open views of the mountains at Wayah Bald, Pickens Nose & Sunset rock. We do provide complimentary internet, but due to the mountainous region it can be spotty or slow at times. I wouldn’t book if you’re looking for a place to work.

We also recommend renting a pontoon boat and spending the day at the nearby Lake Glenville. Kids (and adults!) love gem mining for local gems such as rubies & garnet, trout fishing, hiking the Appalachian Trail and cooling off in the swimming holes. This area is also a popular spot for antique shopping, fly fishing, and great locally owned restaurants and breweries.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Nantahala National Forest. Laundry facilities are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cabin.

The house was lovely, had everything we needed and it was comfortable. The only downside was it was 9 very windy miles to Highlands and 7 miles to Franklin. It was a beautiful time to be there but we mad it a point to be at the house by dark.

Sweet and peaceful cottage

I can't say enough about how enjoyable our week at Chrissy's cottage was. The decor was cozy and ready for fall. The porch was so comfortable. We spent a lot of time there enjoying the quiet and the view. It was close enough to things yet still remote. The kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable - I even messaged Chrissy to find out where she'd gotten them. We truly needed this time away from the world and this little place delivered. Enjoyed a couple of days with our adult daughter. And both she and my husband enjoyed the daily visits of Summer the dog from up the road who came by for belly rubs and a short sit on the porch with us. We drove up to the Oconaluftee entrance to the Smoky's and saw the elk. We checked out both Highlands & Cashiers and of course Franklin which was lovely. We tried a few hikes in the area. All in all, a sweet & peaceful vacation.

do GO chasing waterfalls!

My (mostly spry) elderly parents and I had a lovely stay at Chrissy’s home! It was an easy drive to several easy-moderate hikes in the area and we got to see many waterfalls during our stay. The weather was perfect (think sweatshirt and shorts while drinking coffee on the porch in the AM or watching the fireflies in the evening). The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Thanks to the Trujillos for sharing their home! Def recommend.

A serene escape

A very charming cabin in a wooded setting. They go above and beyond the normal amenities. There was more than enough in the way of TP, paper towels, garbage bags, soaps, shampoos, even laundry soap. Would highly recommend staying there.

Nice and comfortable. Quiet. Drive up the gravel road was fun every time. Fireplace was real nice. Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately our stay was cut short a day because the waterpump for the mountain needed work. The owner was very accommodating and refunded our last nights stay promptly. I would stay again for sure. The firepit is a little steep so be careful if it rains but that is my only complaint. If you are thinking of visiting this area then stay here. Dry falls isn't to far and spectacular.
