Top Cowee Mountain Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Mountain Escape w/ Game Room & Smoky Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed this property. Nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Nice views from the backyard. Plenty of parking. Deck was extra nice. Communication with the host (Blake) was good. First time using VRBO and it was a good experience."

The Beautiful View!! One in a Million Dollar Views!!

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely brilliant place to stay for a few weeks working in Franklin! I was overconfident about the driveway before booking with my rear wheel drive GMC Yukon so the 10 minute walk from the bottom was a daily feat, but anything with 4wd should be perfectly fine! A perfect blend of proximity to town, far-out atmosphere, and natural beauty all around. Susan was incredibly helpful and even checked in periodically through text. Make sure to check out all the cool moths on the front porch every day! Will absolutely stay again if I’m vacationing in the area, and would recommend to absolutely anyone!"

The perfect mountain retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful cabin, well supplied, clean, good communication with host. Steep incline to walk down to cabin from parking area maybe something should be stated in the property description so if someone is handicapped they would know ahead of time. Overall would probably rent again."

River Access and just 3.5 miles from Downtown Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay!!! It was close to Franklin and other places. It was very clean and Cherisse had it well supplied. We loved all the General Stores we visited, especially the Rickman Museum. We especially loved walking to the Mystic River. It was so peaceful there. A great place for our family!!!"

Enjoy Amazing Smoky Mountain View in Large, Comfortable Home in Treetops!

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this home previously. As always the home was beautifully kept and the views are outstanding. The previous renters forgot to leave the key. I contacted Mrs. Karla and she had a locksmith out to the property in no time. This home and owner are exceptional and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation."

Enjoy the mountain view @ Panoramic Point a modern cabin w/Hot Tub+Wifi+Gameroom

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was perfect. Plenty of room, had everything needed like home, beds were comfortable, quiet location and the view never stops! This is the best place we’ve ever seen for sunsets! We would definitely return for another trip."

Rynns Retreat Mountain Views

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this cabin, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is peaceful and convenient, and being able to bring our dog was a big plus. The host was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay again."

Native Gem Mountain Chalet with Views Near Smoky Mountains, Trails & Waterfalls

8/10 Good

"Property was very nice. Was exactly as the listing. One issue we had was the step down into the living area. We had our 90 year old mother with us x worried about her falling. Did not realize there was no ac. The week we stayed was 90 degrees plus. So we were a little uncomfortable. I realize a lot of mountain homes don't have air conditioning. Just might should have been mentioned in the listing. Otherwise we had no issues. Cabin was very clean x beds were very comfortable. Would definitely recommend. Just don't bring your elderly parent. Lol!"
