Sweet cabin in the hills!
What a wonderful cabin! I booked it because of all of the screened in porches. Unfortunately for us, the temperature dropped into the 40s, but I managed to spend some time reading and listening to the stream behind the house on the porch. We loved all of the details. The artwork and photos on the walls were wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great! Our only problem was the WiFi and password were incorrect. We called guest services and were able to figure it out. Hope someone fixes that for the next person. Overall, a wonderful stay at a perfect cabin! We will be back!

Cabin beautiful; amenities not so much
The owners of the cabin have done a wonderful job at decorating the cabin. The management company is less than desirable. Our check in was moved to 6pm. The Wi-Fi network and password was incorrect. No Wi-Fi connection, therefore no tv. The landline doesn’t work. The management company said they would send someone but never heard back.

Creekside Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. It was a great way to relax and unplug for a few days. The porches were our favorite areas whether it be in the morning with coffee and a Bible or in the evening with popcorn and a movie. ( A bed swing would make the area AMAZING!) The weather was perfect when we were there to enjoy sitting outside to hear the creek and the crickets. We were able to visit several nearby towns including Highlands, Cashiers, Asheville and Franklin. This area is very remote and the nearest town, Franklin, is 15-20 minutes away. Be sure you are comfortable driving on steep, curvy mountain roads and have good breaks! We were surprised at the small amount of bath linens when we arrived (no wash cloths/ one bathroom was missing a hand towel). Two days later we discovered a large load of towels and other bath linens in the dryer (it's in the basement) and it was still very damp. Another time when drying only a few towels it took two cycles to get them dry. The dryer may need servicing. Overall we did have an enjoyable time at the little cabin and would recommend it for those wishing to get away from the busyness of life for a few days.

Quiet and relaxing spot and oh the porches
This is a fairly new property on VRBO and we booked it with no reviews and after staying there one can tell that the owner has invested a good bit of thought and time into this property with hospitality and comfort in mind. The house is about a mile off of the main road about half way between Franklin and Lake Glenville. We felt very safe and secure and relaxed at the property. We stayed there for five nights and despite having some Internet issues early on we were able to conclude the trip on a good and connected note. After checking out we learned that the property will have a back-up wifi if the DSL internet is out in the future. Cell phone coverage is nonexistent in this area. The property is better than what is photographed, which is a good thing. I would recommend to Vacasa, the hosting company during our stay and for many other properties in this area to step up their game. They could do better and should. House was very clean. We cooked several meals at the house and had essentially everything we needed. It was a good time to decompress. Lots of named waterfalls in the area which is how we spent our week. I mentioned the porches because that is why I booked it to begin with. Three separate comfortable sitting areas all screened in and within the sound of three gentle waterfalls behind the house. Looking forward to return to area in the Fall and stay at Wake Robin, unless after reading this you decide to book it up before we solidify our reservation. Cheers
