Summary: When we arrived at the cottage, we were thrilled with the location, the curb appeal, and the friendly greeting from one of the owners. The property is immaculate and on entry to the cottage we were, again, beyond happy. The decor, the accommodations, the furniture were so beautiful, comfortable and well thought out. Our daily visits from Tucker just made Newt, my dog, so happy. We had a delightful, relaxing visit And definitely hope to return soon.

John A. Jul 22, 2024 08:13:43 AM
Summary: Love the location and respite from the heat of Hilton Head. Our Black Labrador was in doggie heaven with the cool mountain air and fields of grass to roll and romp in. Great front porch to relax on with an adult beverage, and Mike & Sam are great hosts. We will be back!

Summary: What a cozy, little spot tucked into the Nantahala National Forest area of NC! Definitely a gem of a find. Needed a getaway from the hustle and bustle and a base for some day trips around southern NC. The 10 hour drive to get there was well worth it. Set on a hill with a great outdoor fire pit, two porches, a picnic table, and lots of trees around a green lawn. Such a pleasant place to return to at the end of a hot day with the cooler temps of the shaded property in the late afternoon. Beautifully appointed front porch for early morning coffee sipping in the rocking chairs, as well as the perfect dining table to eat our meals cooked in the full kitchen. Short drive to several great little towns like Franklin, NC, to the north, and down to Clayton, GA, for groceries, restaurants, and cute shops. I only wish we had spent more time just relaxing at the house, which is what we did the last full day. We played the backgammon game provided living room out on the porch and took walks. Being Independence Day, who needed fireworks when we had popping fire embers, fireflies, and stars! Best part by far that made our experience feel extra special at The Guest House was the attention to the details around the rooms and the care the hosts extended in making sure we were comfortable. Plenty of towels and firewood on hand and good communication. Oh, and Tucker even came for a quick visit! Loved it so much, we’ve already booked another visit and plan to just enjoy the peace and quiet!

Summary: This is the second time for my wife and I stayed at the "Quest House". The reasons we came back is the first visit provided us with a super relaxing visit. The Guest House is located in a scenic quiet setting in the mountains of Franklin NC that provided us an opportunity to relax & unwind. Owners Mike and Sam are gracious hosts that can't seem to do enough for their guests. Unfortunately, the scale only 5 Stars because we give it a 10+. House was very clean and well stocked with all you would need for a great stay. Highly - Highly recommend!!
