Woodfin Cottage

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 132 reviews3 weeks ago

Jennifer’s cottage is very cute and thoughtfully designed. She provided good instructions and was responsive to any inquiries and concerns. What you may not see is that it is very close to the interstate so road noise does detract from lounging outside but it certainly didn’t deter us from making the most of the lovely firepit and deck area. It was a distraction that wasn’t expected but not a deal breaker. Inside was very quiet and comfortable, the road noise was hardly noticeable and the soaking tub was a great way to end the day. The location is convenient to the river arts, Biltmore and downtown - this was our base camp for exploring the area and it was perfectly located to do just that. The trees were budding, the cozy little fire pit and the chimes on the deck tinkling made it pleasant. 👍👍 if the goal is to explore the area you can’t go wrong here 😀

Our stay in the cottage was great! We were 10 total - 8 adults and 2 kids - and we wish we would’ve rented for another day. Spacious and comfy, the cottage provided both privacy and options to hang out together. The coffee bar and game room were a big hit! The hosts were extremely responsive.

This was our second time staying at Black Bear Cottage and it was just as wonderful the second time! Our kids played for hours in the creek, we were comfortable in the cabin and close to all the fun things we wanted to do - hiking and the Biltmore and a day trip to Dollywood! Thanks for a great stay!

Waterfront Cottage Escape- only 4 mi to Franklin

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 170 reviews1 week ago

Hot Showers, Cozy Living Room, easy to find. We appreciated the hot showers the most after a long day on the trails. Three of us showered and never lost hot water. The living room was cozy, with 2 recliners to kick up our feet after hiking and our little one enjoyed the board games while we relaxed, which was a much needed reprieve. While this Airbnb appears to be in the deep country, the town of Franklin is right around the corner. We were late to dinner so had to eat at a place called Mixers- where it was karaoke night. Although more of a bar and pool hall, we were fed well. Philly Steak pizza, big juicy cheeseburgers, and a fried chicken salad with ranch. We even danced before we left. We didn’t stay late because we had our kid. Food Lion was also nearby and open if we had we opted to cook. The front porch was a lovely place to enjoy coffee, morning sounds & roosters crowing. Our four year old was able to run down to the pond and catch a fish before we headed back out.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation. The space is clean, spacious, comfortable and exactly as described. The peaceful country setting is perfect for a retreat from daily concerns. It's only a short drive to shops, restaurants and a large grocery store. The hosts were also very helpful when we needed a local recommendation for a mobile mechanic. Check-in was easy. There's plenty of parking. I will definitely stay here in the future. when I'm in the area.
