Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin

Looking around Maggie Valley from this house, I don't think there was a better view to be had. This house is well-stocked and comfortable in every way we would have hoped for and Billy and the co-hosts gave us all the info we needed, but the star of the show is the view over the valley to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the stunning sunset. We definitely need to come back and see it in the fall. During our stay, we visited downtown Waynesville (great shops and restaurants ... Frog Level Brewery and The Red Fox were favorites), drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at many overlooks (Waterrock Knob is a relatively short drive from the house), and we ventured over to the Cherokee and Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The highlight was seeing more than a dozen elk at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center in the morning before the visitor center opened, but we even saw some in a field in Maggie Valley. But mostly we loved sitting on the deck and relaxing in this home!

Excellent location! Home was just as described and like photos. Easily walkable to the downtown restaurants, shopping and activities in Waynesville.

Tom and Carol were great hosts who have put a lot of care into this home! Every amenity from the hot tub to the dartboard had clear step-by-step instructions provided, and check in/check out was a breeze. The home was clean and comfortable and looked exactly as pictured. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay, the location is beautiful and continently located near lots of great trails.

This is my second stay at Michelle's cabin and it's always a great experience. The view is beautiful and the amenities are perfect 👌🏻. Highly recommended!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

We felt completely relaxed during our stay, it was exactly the peaceful getaway we needed. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a highlight, especially at night under the stars. The remote location made it feel private and calm, perfect for unwinding. Check-in was super easy, and Beth was very friendly and communicative throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Such a beautiful and peaceful cabin! Prefect location and the hot tub by the creek was the cherry on top to a great getaway!

I think this was our 5th or 6th stay, I’ve lost count. We love this place and will come again!

This was our second time staying in this beautiful mountain hide-away in the Deep Creek / Bryson City area. We love the hike all around the property - it's amazing in itself - but also very easy to get to 'the road to nowhere', the Great Smokey Mountain National Park is basically connected to the property, it's so close! If you want to get away from the city / noise of urban areas, this is for you! Large, open home with two full baths, so great for a family (and our pups love it here, too)!!

The pros: The home was awesome and had plenty of room. The view was beautiful and peaceful. It was the first place we stayed that had an actual baby bed; this was a welcomed blessing. It had plenty of blankets and towels for everyone and was extremely clean. We would definately stay here again. The cons: No king size beds for the adults. Parking was a challenge and it does not have a private drive. It also needed a coffee maker for pods and we would have enjoyed more couches on the main floor with recliners verses the straight back chairs. The towels also needed some fabric softner - they were really rough (small details). Overall: Excellent home and host experience. It is well worth the rental price!

Easy check in. Hosts allowed early check-in because we arrived too early. Dog run available for use while we needed to get ready for different events. Well centered between Franklin and Sylva. Short drive to Georgia state line going South. Short ride to Waynesville going east. Follow hosts direction not to take Brendle to home. We have a 4WD Jeep and used it but would not recommend for small sedans or SUV’s/trucks. We also were able to get a delivery from Instacart for our groceries.

We had a great stay over Labor Day weekend. The home is very secluded with amazing views of the lake. Lisa communicated with us the entire time, providing a lot of information about the house and things to do in the surrounding area. Definitely recommend and hope to be back

This was a great rental! The place was clean and free of bugs. The kitchen had a great assortment of dishware and you could easily cook meals. Lots of room to enjoy the fantastic views.

Laura is an amazing host and very organized! Take Paws has everything you need including kitchen accessories, bedding, outdoor grilling & a fire pit. It’s also a great location beyond just Franklin, like visiting Highlands, Bryson City and playing golf at Sequoyah National Golf Course. Very easy to find and so peaceful!

Our stay at Loriel and Adam's cabin was amazing! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, look no further! 10/10 would recommend! We hope to get back here in the future.

We enjoyed our stay and were impressed with the cleanliness and private stay. We were able to escape for a few days and relax!

The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

Great value for money. Don't hesitate to ask for the lake view.

Enjoyed our stay at the cabin! It is in a neighborhood of cabins, and it’s the last one on the end (I liked that. ) probably the best stocked and supplied air bnb I’ve ever been in. Literally a home away from home. Tin foil when I was cooking and well stocked seasonings for my pasta. The towels were easily in sight at hot tub and showers. Just a really well thought out and planned vacation home. My only complaint was a 10am check out time! Would prefer 11am, just so we’d have enough time for a brunch at the river…. 🥲 I haven’t air bnb’d in a while and this home made me remember why I should more. Friendly, cozy, lovely, clean 10/10.

The view is amazing! Plenty of room and loved that it was pet friendly. The area is challenging for walking them but that is typical for the mountains. Nice small fenced area, just know there is a large groundhog (not aggressive) who lives under the porch so keep an eye out for him if your pet likes to chase them! Plenty of kitchen supplies. Nice large master suite!

By far the best airbnb host we’ve ever had super fast to respond to questions and the accommodations were better than described. Beds were absolutely marvelous woke up every morning feeling better than new. This airbnb is a nature lovers dream. Highly recommend Sandy and the unit

This was our second stay at Carolyn’s wonderful Airbnb, and it was just as perfect as the first! The lake views are absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect getaway. Carolyn is a fantastic experienced host, thoughtful and welcoming. It felt like coming back home. Our dog got to join us, and he loved it just as much as we did! If you’re traveling with a dog, you can’t beat the accommodations of Carolyn‘s place. It’s so nice to find a place that’s both pet-friendly and convenient and nice and truly relaxing for humans. We can’t recommend Carolyn’s home high enough and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Carolyn, for another amazing visit!

Mary Jo and Lina’s place was perfect for our family! It had so many kid friendly accommodations and was well kept and just a short walk to shops and restaurants! We loved our stay!
