'Wildflower' Luxury Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Views!
The sweet harmony of birds chirping and waterfalls bubbling welcome you to a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Franklin vacation rental. Nestled atop Cowee Mountain, ‘Wildflower Cabin’ has furnishings to reflect the beauty of the surrounding wilderness. Lose yourself in nature, while inside, you are pampered in comfort. The 2,200-acre gated development is away from the bustle of the city and just a scenic drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Nantahala Gorge, and the Eastern Cherokee Reservation.

AMAZING CABIN!
This cabin was amazing! From the hot tub being heated up and ready, to all the came unties we needed. Everything was great.
Typically we bring basics from home to ensure we have enough for the week due to us being a family of 6 (laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, spices, etc.). None of this was needed because they had PLENTY of everything we could ever need for the entire week.
My ONLY complaint, and it isn’t even fair to the property owner because it was out of his control, was that the water pressure was terrible. Due to this, the upstairs shower didn’t even work. Took forever to refill the hot tub, took a very long time to fill up the coffee maker everyday, and showers were hot, but no water pressure. Again, this is NO reflection on the property owner. He was in constant communication with me and contacted the well company multiple times.
The cabin was comfortable and we had a great time and would definitely come again. Thank you for a great week!

Property Manager was MIA
The house itself was nice. However, there were outrageous additional fees that included a cleaning fee. We were also expected to leave the house as we found it. We had to take the garbage to an outside container that was not on the immediate property. We had to put the towels in the basement washing machine. Why am I paying the equivalent of a night's stay for a cleaning fee when I have to do the cleaning? We stayed for only 2 nights and didn't have a mess. They say to leave the beds made that were not slept in. This makes me wonder about when some of the bedding was last washed... and what if someone does make the bed after they slept in it. Does that mean that they leave it and the bedding is not cleaned. One would think with the large cleaning fee, someone would be able to wash all the bed linens for the next guests. There was also a problem with bugs. There were lady bugs and stink bugs in the house. The property manager NEVER called me even after I left multiple messages. I had to call the rental company that was not on site multiple times to get the code/information just to get into the property. This added to the stress of wondering if I was even going to have a property to stay in when I got there. Currently this house is for sale. I'm thinking this is the reason for the additional issues.

Excellant stay
Beautiful home and comfortable. Multiple levels within home with outer decks on two floors. Fully stocked with all essentials (tools and linens) for cooking. Hot tub, kitchen, den, half bath, and main bedroom with bathroom main floor Sitting room, two bedrooms and bath on upper level. Lower level, has full bath and full size bunk beds with multiple sitting areas, pool table, and large laundry room. Large wrap around deck on main floor and small deck on lower level. Parking for multiple cars, but if more than three, it is a tight turn around. Walking trails literally up the hill in front of cabin. And Trash dump just up the hill for convenience. Close to store for buying groceries, shopping, or restaurants. Cafe Rel is highly recommended. Gated and safe. Gorgeous views coming, going, and on trails. We saw wild life on trips in and out. Will highly recommend. And would stay again if in area.
