Great cabin in the mountains
Property was just as pictured and described. Very clean. Super host. Excellent communication with host, always replied quickly. Good layout with bedrooms on opposite ends of cabin. Stayed for a week and had a very relaxing time. Easy to get to town with two basic routes. Great places to eat including Haywood Smokehouse and Ms Lois. Very quiet and, as described, secluded but not far from town. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable furniture. Would recommend.Bruce & MinCataula Georgia

One of the Best
I can't remember a VRBO stay I have enjoyed more. Sunsets in the Smokies was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and just be. But, we were also perfectly located for visiting Franklin, and an easy drive to Sylva, Cherokee, and Bryson City. Our hosts were easy to communicate with, and had really thought through what makes a house feel and function like home. From a well organized kitchen to extra blankets, sheets and pillows, we really needed for nothing.

Would definitely stay again
Cabin was actually clean, something we're sadly not used to. Very well stocked with amenities, towels were super soft, and everything worked that we used; loved the combo coffee/K-cup maker. The location was perfect for us and everything was very convenient. What I mean by convenient: grocery stores (Ingles and Walmart a few minutes away), restaurants (within 20 minutes a lot of variety), garbage drop off (7 days a week), etc. The driveway is a bit steep and with our large Silverado 2500, made for an interesting climb up; 360 cameras really came into good use. Internet speed was good enough to stream the two TVs and still surf on three devices. The area is very quiet and feels secluded. Hot water was hot and water pressure was great. You do have your choice of a soft or firm mattress between the master suites. If you love winding roads take HWY 28 to Bryson City! I was hating the fact that I drove up vice road up on the Harley!

Wonderful week
We experienced a wonderful week in Sunset in the Smokies! The house was everything we expected plus more. It is a perfect distance from town (~15 minutes), and is nestled up on a quiet overlook. The kitchen has everything we needed, there’s a nice gas fireplace, and a fire pit on the back deck. Also, communication with Rhonda was easy and she responded quickly. It was so nice getting back after a busy day, knowing that we were lodging in a comfortable place that complimented our trip perfectly.

Relaxing in the woods
The house was beautiful, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and we were greeted by a few deer in the driveway upon arrival. We were able to sit on a porch swing and enjoy the rain one afternoon. We enjoyed the beauty and peace of nature all around.

Sweet Serenity
Loved every minute of my stay. The home was well equipped, communication was great, the views were fabulous and the location was perfect. This sweet home is so peaceful with very few neighbors and perfection for driving to many small towns, close to some yummy restaurants and only an hour and a half from Asheville.

Beautiful home
Great home. Host provided simple extras that were greatly appreciated. The little homey touches felt like you were more than an outsider. Maybe a quest that was welcomed and wanted. Area was great to visit. Waterfalls were easy to find. Information in binder was extremely plentiful and easy to understand. Highly recommend this rental. Hope to book again in the future.

Two trips one house
We booked this house as a double vacation. My oldest son and I went for a Focus meet at the Tail of the Dragon. My wife and younger son were along for the trip and ended up touring by themselves. The location of the property worked well for both of us. We spent the majority of the time around the Dragon while they spent time in Franklin, Georgia, and South Carolina. The house was well equipped with everything we would need. The porch was amazing for relaxing and watching the sunsets. We can’t wait to come back again and stay longer.

Kindness goes a long way with me! Every interaction with Rhonda was nothing short of kindness! The cabin was perfect! Views were beautiful! Having two master suites was amazing! Not having to climb stairs was wonderful! And the price was by fair the most affordable around! I can not do it justice in a review, so you will just have to see for yourself!

Loved our stay!
Sunsets in the Smokies is a fabulous "cabin" near downtown Franklin so it's convenient for necessities, but far enough removed that it feels remote.
The cabin is perfect for two couples or more. There are two large bedrooms with en suites and walk-in closets so it's easy to stay organized. It is perfectly equipped with everything you could need and more! We especially enjoyed the fireplace and deck.
We will definitely recommend Sunsets in the Smokies and will be back!
