2 Bedroom House in Franklin

Our cabin is located 12 miles out of Franklin, NC near the Little Tennessee River. We are in easy traveling distance to whitewater rafting, kayaking both flat water and whitewater, fly fishing rivers, gem mining, zip lining, horseback riding, Deep Creek tubing, river tubing , The Appalachian Trail, hiking trails, waterfalls, Smoky Mountain Train excursions, Cherokee attractions/casino, Dollywood, Smoky Mountain National Forest, Blue Ridge Parkway, Elk viewings and Biltmore Estate in Asheville.
The space
Our cabin is on a quiet mountain 12 miles NW of Franklin, NC. Elevation about 2,000 ft. It has 2 bedrooms with queen beds to sleep 4 with 1 bath. There is also a queen sized Lazy-boy sofa bed to sleep 2 more guests. Our favorite feature is our covered back deck with table and chairs for quiet meals while being entertained by the Hummingbirds vying over our two feeders. Plus, it’s so nice to relax on the bench swing or nestled in the hammock swing while reading or just watching the sunset. And nothing beats the coziness of the wood-burning stove for those chilly evenings or mornings. We have lots of family and children’s games and puzzles in the armoire in the dining room and also children and adult books and dvd videos on the living room bookshelves. We also have Dish network satellite tv with DVR and satellite WiFi.
Guest access
Guests have sole access to the whole house with hiking sticks for walks on our mountain or other nearby trails. We also have a picnic basket with reusable dishes, cups and utensils for those outings near our many beautiful rivers and waterfalls. Our favorite place to picnic is at Deep Creek near Bryson City where there are tube rentals for tubing and picnic tables with grills, changing rooms and bathrooms. Bryson City is also where train excursions originate and a must see train museum with a huge working multiple model train layout. Be sure to check our Guidebook for plenty of things to see and do.
Other things to note
We don’t allow pets for the comfort and peace of mind for other guests who have pet allergies. We are also a non-smoking listing.
Because we are 12 miles from Franklin, NC, we message our confirmed guests complete information about local grocery stores so they can pick up groceries before arriving at “Higher Ground”.
Additional note: As further precautions during the pandemic we block off dates between guests to be able to clean more thoroughly. We use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer additive for all towels and washables. We also wash all bed linens including quilts, blankets, and even the mattress covers. We leave a container of alcohol wipes for our guests and liquid hand sanitizer. Of course we wipe down remotes, switches, door knobs and keypads with alcohol wipes too. We spray non-washable fabrics with Lysol disinfectant spray.
Just trying to keep our guests and us safe from infection.

Teresa D. Sep 10, 2024 07:44:49 PM

Summary: Graham and Linda’s place was perfect for us after my mother had passed away a few weeks ago. It was quiet, clean and relaxing. The home provided everything that we needed. Graham even called and checked on us, so very friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend this mountain cabin.

Jon A. Aug 2, 2024 03:28:26 AM

Summary: My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground very much. Our host was very attentive to anything we needed. The house location was quiet and peacefull. We enjoyed watching the birds at the feeders. It was a great place to escape the July heat of north Florida.

Angela C. Jul 10, 2024 10:31:32 AM

Summary: Graham and Linda Shaw are probably the most gracious hosts we've ever had in a VRBO rental. They are simply wonderful hosts. The cabin had everything we needed. The Shaws have gone out of their way, it seems, to provide for their guests. The cabin does not have some of the newer amenities, such as a hot tub or whirlpool bath, that some renters expect. What it does have is a fabulous porch, birds, squirrels, and seclusion. We definitely recommend and would rent again.

Carrie M. Apr 12, 2024 07:14:45 AM

Summary: We chose this property because it was centrally located for the trails we wanted to hike. This was a great place to stay, perfect size for the 2 of us. Peaceful and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for.

Shay F. Jan 6, 2024 12:31:05 AM

Summary: Wonderful stay at the Shaw's cabin. A lot of thought and care has been put into this little vacation home. We loved the patio and location and the hosts were very attentive to our questions regarding finding linens for the pull out couch. The only surprise was that there was only one bed in each room instead of 2 in one as the listing described. Probably a typo and the girls had one sleeping all together in one bed anyway! We would go again though and stay in the larger cabin! Very warm and cozy for our winter trip to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Thank you, Shaws!
