activities and attractions in Franklin Smoky Mountains

One visit to Historic Franklin, North Carolina, and you'll discover
why we fell in love with this area. Incorporated in 1855, Franklin is
famous for its scenic beauty, slower pace of life, and its
friendly people.

Franklin is located between two popular scenic gorges, the Cullasaja
and the Nantahala.  One of the most beautiful drives in the country is located within 10 minutes of the house between Franklin & Highlands, NC.  You'll pass three waterfalls and can take a walk behind the roaring 75 foot wall of water of Dry Falls. The mountainscape is lined with many hiking trails, including the famous Appalachian and Bartram Trails.

Nestled in the southwestern corner of North Carolina, Franklin
serves as the southern gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Great
Smokies. It's convenient location to major cities make Franklin a
favorite vacation spot for people of all ages.

Atlanta, Georgia is just two hours to the south while Asheville,
North Carolina is one hour to the east. Other cities nearby include
Highlands, Cashiers, Dillsboro, & Sylva, all within about 30
minutes.

Base all your activities from this home. Minutes to Hiking, waterfalls,
rafting, biking, gem mining, canoing/kayaking, shopping, restaurants,
Cherokee Casino. Franklin also is home to the Little Tennessee River
Greenway, one of more than a thousand such trails snaking their way
across America turning old canals, abandoned railbeds and forgotten
riverbanks into green recreational corridors. You can walk or bike
for miles along the paved Greenway in Franklin.

This home is located just outside of downtown Franklin on the way to Highlands & Cashiers, NC (now called the Scenic Waterfall Byway).  You won't be surrounded by other noisy cabins, campers & other tourists.  This is a private home located in a rural mountain community. 
Come home to a little pampering after a great day of activities.  You will never want to leave.

Excellent Rental

Enjoy (southeast)
Review submitted: December 13, 2008   Date of arrival: October 31, 2008

The Pond is an excellent rental home with everything you can possibly need at your disposal. Beautiful scenery, beautiful surroundings, and a beautiful home make it the perfect getaway. Nicely decorated with all the amenities you will need and offers complete privacy. Close proximity to Highlands and lots of hiking possibilities. We rented bikes at a local shop and enjoyed their beautiful park in their quaint town! Perfect for a quiet and relaxing escape!

Dream Vacation of a Lifetime

Marsha B. ()
Review submitted: November 3, 2011   Date of arrival: October 3, 2011

If you're looking for a vacation home to cater to your every wish or dream, then this is the perfect house for you to choose. We spent ten of the most relaxing, peaceful, comfortable, fun days in this absolutely beautiful house and our only hope is that we have an opportunity to return at some future date. The views are spectacular, the house is so amazing and absolutely spotlessly clean, with every detail imaginable to make a dream vacation come true. My husband loved relaxing with a good book on the screened in porch with a crackling fire in the fireplace and the Wi-Fi that made it possible for him to access work with his laptop. He could keep up with his emails and take care of things as needed so he knew it wouldn't all be piled up waiting for him when he got back. I loved having my coffee on the back deck with it's beautiful ever-changing fall views and cooking our meals in the fabulous kitchen. The beds are wonderful and I really loved the jucuzzi tub in the upstairs bathroom! Franklin has great places to shop downtown (I found some wonderful Christmas gifts) and we had some of the best food we've ever had at several of the many and varied places to eat, especially the ribs at Fat Buddies BBQ and the pizza at Rana Rinata Italian Grill. (Thanks for the gift certificate, Pam.) This area of North Carolina was so beautiful with it's winding roads, waterfalls and beautiful fall colors that we both agree this is the best vacation we've ever taken and mostly because we were fortunate enough to have chosen "The Pond House" to stay in. Thanks so much to Pam and her husband for making this house available for those of us who now have these wonderful memories of a perfect vacation experience! We would recommend this property to anyone out there who is looking for a dream vacation home that more than lives up to your expectations and is even more spectacular than the pictures of it on the website. We promise you won't be disappointed!

Review submitted: June 17, 2011   Date of arrival: June 4, 2011

What has not already been said about this home, from the moment we were welcomed by Tony who acted as our guide of this wonderful home till the day we left. we found new things every day from the well thought out binder of things to do, places to eat, hikes to go on.This home is beautifully decorated with art work from local galleries, comfortable furnishings. Everything you could need was in the home.Every detail had been carefully thought out to make sure you have a wonderful vacation. My wife and I fell in love with the kitchen a cooks dream, we found ourselves wanting to return to the cabin early just to hang out and enjoy the sun sets from the huge balcony, loved the out door fire place this would be great in the fall, close to every thing but far enough away to enjoy the peace which we were blessed with each and every day. We look forward to our next trip back to the Pond.
