Full Log Cabin,11 wooded acres near Franklin NC. Sleeps 16 in Beds. Waterfalls.

This gorgeous full-log home is located 11 miles from Franklin, NC on 11 wooded acres near the top of Bench Mountain. It sits at an elevation of 2,785 feet with a great view of the surrounding valley. This secluded property is bordered by the Nantahala National Forest with mountain hiking. The 4,400 sq ft, three story cabin contains: 4 custom decorated family suites, a loft, and 4 1/2 baths. Awesome 1,100 square foot game room in the lower level. It is lavishly furnished with art-work caliber hand-crafted live edge pieces. This home contains all the amenities necessary to enjoy your North Carolina vacationing experience. The Master Suite, called the Buck & Doe Room contains a handcrafted custom king bed. The Bear Den has a queen bed, the Western Room has a queen bed. The Rustic Barn Room has 2 Queen Sharper Image Memory Foam beds. The Cowboy Loft has a pull out queen couch. A wrap-around porch on the main floor is accessible from the Master Suite and the Bear Den, with the main Viewing Deck completely covered, and has a staircase to the lower level deck. The game room (Little Critter Room) has six custom bunk beds, each with outlets, lights and chalk boards. The property sleeps 10 adults in the bedrooms, 2 more in the loft (fold-out couch) and 6 children in twin bunk beds. Our main gathering room in the Lodge has a massive stone fireplace that reaches to the top of the cathedral ceiling. The Lodge is large enough for almost any family gathering looking to enjoy the great Smoky Mountains. The Loft is also a TV room with a 75” TV and DVD collections for all ages and a book library with over 100 hardcover titles. The lower level has a wrap-around fully covered deck. The Game Room has ping-pong, air hockey, foosball, and a 12 foot table shuffleboard. The Game Room also has a 75” LED Mac Daddy TV with multiple gaming console's and game library. This home is a party and relaxation paradise. What we offer above the rest however, is our spectacular property. Sitting on 11 acres of mountainside, we have several hiking trails, swings, hammocks and 3 seasonal waterfalls. Above us is unlimited hiking and hunting (in season) in the bordering Nantahala Forest. In addition to 4 fire pits and a hot tub, we have our own 10,000 sq. ft. Mountain Recreational Deck. It boasts a multi-purpose sand court for volleyball, badminton, and many other games. We have a great horseshoe pit, corn-hole set, tetherball and more. It has a covered Pavilion with a huge barn table. All sports equipment is included.

After climbing the steep driveway to the peek of the overlooking cabin the three families found their appropriate rooms and settled in. First impressions were great. Spacious and stocked kitchen and amazing basement game room for the kids and adults alike to have fun in. The trails were great and the two mines we explored left us eager to return. Hot tub was cozy and the playground was a cool design.

Amazing property with lots of activities for a family getaway. Think twice about coming in a 15 passenger van. Not the ideal vehicle for the steep mountain road.

My church youth group had a great stay here and enjoyed all the outdoor space. Lots of lady bugs inside but otherwise the house is beautiful and has lots of space for a large group. The driveway wasn’t too bad but it’s definitely an experience! We would stay here again!

Our family had a fun 6 day stay at the cabin. After figuring out how to negotiate the long, steep, and curvy gravel driveway when we first got there, we were very pleased with what awaited us at the top. The cabin was everything as described; the grandkids had fun sleeping in the bunkbeds in the play room downstairs, as well as the outdoor swings and games. The adults enjoyed the upstairs and the great outside amenities, including the fire pits and hot tub. Most of all, the two abandoned mines were enjoyed by all.

Location and property was awesome. Facilities and amenities were plenty. Clean and neat. Great outdoor. Great kitchen, plenty of dishes, plates, pots, pans. We enjoyed our stay. Kids enjoyed the basement with all the games. Lady bugs and stink bugs somehow find their way and were everywhere, including beds.

We all want to make this a yearly vacation. There is a lot to do for all ages. The home and the view from the house was wonderful. Exploring the property or playing games in the game room kept us busy. Thank you Ricky for sharing your home!

Our family had a wonderful weekend. It was absolutely stunning view and the home is beautiful. The furniture and decor was spectacular. The beds were so comfortable I didn't want to leave. The owners have done an awesome job of providing games, ping pong tables, dart boards, shuffleboard, volleyball court to entertain the whole family.

We decided to rent a home for Spring break that would allow us to completely relax, play games, and hike straight off the property. This home was perfect for us and even better than expected! Thank you for providing exactly what we wanted! Everyone had a great time and not a single complaint was heard from any of our four kids (aged 16-10) during the entire trip --- that is saying something!

We had a lovely time at the Cabin. Big enough for multiple families to enjoy. Kitchen is very well stocked with all items you might need. The outdoor firepit, rec area and decks provide multiple areas to enjoy the outside and relax. We loved the hiking and walking up the driveway for exercise each day. Fun things to do in the area; tubing, gem stone mining, excursions to Bryson City.

First and foremost the beds are super comfortable. The entire family commented on good sleeping. All activities pictured in the house were great. The host was super fast with communication and we even explored the mine. Great Kitchen, grill, etc. Highly recommend this place. The best part is that the owners use this place which usually means it has all the little things you need. The pictures don't do it justice.

The house is fantastic; the location is perfect for connecting with nature and completely disconnecting from the daily hustle. Lots of activities for the kids and adults; the fire pits are very cool and perfect during this time of the year to be outside and enjoy nature. Ricky is a great host. The process was very organized and clear. We'll definitely come back.

The owner is very responsive and has great communication. Was quick to respond when we reached out. The owner has put a lot of thought into this property. There is so much to do on the property for everyone. It was great exploring the trails and waterfalls, and the mine. They are fully stocked with board games, dvd videos, and books. There are plenty of comfortable sleeping areas. Lots of places outside to relax...swings, hammock, fire pit, hot tub. You are in nature...so expect bugs of all kinds and sizes. Lots of beautiful birds too. There is hand soap, but be sure to bring your own soap and shampoo. To get up to the lodge, with its beautiful view, you go up a very steep and narrow, winding dirt road. It is much easier with 4 wheel drive. There is a lot to do in the area. Its a great location. Would definitely recommend this lodge for a fun getaway in nature. We had a large group of various ages, and everyone really enjoyed

This cabin was amazing in every possible way. The location was great! The owner was very helpful and accommodating, especially since we were traveling with a crawling 1 year old! Lots to do at the Cabin, very private, very nicely decorated. Loved the remote location. The North Carolina side of the Smokies is great!!! Make sure you check out their abandoned mine/cave on the property, and go gem mining at Rose Creek Mine, which is a legit experience owned by the president of the NC Rocks and Minerals Association! We came with two families, could definitely do 3 next time.

Everything about this property is wonderful. There is so much to do and the lodge is huge and beautifully decorated. The driveway was a little scary the first time up but not quite so after that initial time. I don’t advise you to attempt it the first time in the dark. Can’t think of anything negative to say about this property. The Mountain Views were amazing and especially in the morning with the fog. We all had a fantastic mountain vacation and would love to come back again sometime.

Everything was right there on the beautiful property trails,hot tub, volleyball,other games, hammock,fire pits etc. and the house itself was just amazing we were a group of 15 and it accommodated everyone amazingly from top to bottom!! The pics online doesn't do this place justice I definitely recommend this place for family vacations or larger group trips for birthdays or girls trip my only con is that we needed a heads up on the drive up to the house it's not for compact cars they can make it up but kinda difficult so it's best to drive a truck,SUV or jeep but it's well worth it to rent one of those types of vehicles if you don't already own one I was fortunately in my Equinox AWD and came up and down easily but some others had compact cars and had minor difficulties but other than that this is an Awesome place to vacation!! There are soooo many more amazing things about this house and property that you will see that I didn't mention because I will be tying forever but again amazing house and property I definitely recommend it!! ❤️ 5⭐s

The house is amazing. Very kid friendly. The owner was incredibly gracious. We actually got an unprecedented amount of snow while we were there. He allowed us to use his firewood free of charge as the power went out and the fire was our only source of heat. He also offered to allow us to stay as long as we needed without extra fees. It has everything you would need. Just amazing.
