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.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was a treat to have my morning coffee setting on the front porch swing watching the fog rise on the nearby mountain. Everything we needed was there. If you like being in the mountains this is the place to stay.

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.

Fantastic Get Away

The cabin was everything we had hoped it would be from the pictures Crissy had posted. It was in a development but very private. We really enjoyed the front porch and the views. The cabin in located convenient to Franklin, although we ate most of our meals in Franklin the kitchen was nice sized and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the cabin and furnishings were great. We hope to stay there again next year.

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.

The Perfect Place!

This cabin was perfect for our girls’ trip. The layout was great. It was well stocked with everything we needed. Chrissy has done a wonderful job decorating it. The big front porch was perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels etc. We felt at home while we were there. Chrissy was a great host and quickly responded with any questions or concerns. The location is close to many attractions, restaurants & shopping. Parking was a little tight and the gravel road leading to cabin had 2 big ruts but we managed with no problem. Highly recommend this place!

Great clean, cozy cabin with a beautiful view

My parents and I returned from the cabin yesterday and are already missing it so much. The cabin was clean, comfy and felt "homey." It had everything we needed and then some! Chrissy has given it a beautiful touch with the decor. We enjoyed fires both inside and out at the firepit. We did bring our own firewood, but there was some there, too. We also enjoyed the front porch and the beautiful mountain view. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our dinners every night, and the location is convenient to many towns. We explored Cashiers, Clayton, GA, Murphy, Dillsboro, Sylva, Cherokee, Bryson City and Maggie Valley! We can't wait to come back!

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.

Cute, but lacking

It was a nice, cute little cabin, but there were four major negatives. We were turned off from the beginning when we were told to bring our own firewood, but the price was good so perhaps that was why. Probably the worst thing was that we had no TV the entire time we were there because the remotes did not work; perhaps they were out of batteries, but they were dead. Another “worst thing” was that there was no bar soap in either of the showers, so we had to go out and buy our own. There was liquid hand soap, but nothing for the showers. The real killer was that we were told to take our garbage with us. Also, the washcloths were ratty and stained with mascara, and she really needs a new cleaning crew. The price was good, as I said, but even with that price we should have had TV, soap, and we shouldn’t have had to take our garbage with us (especially as there were covered trash cans outside the house).
