vacation rental description

Location: Franklin, North Carolina, USA (Off HWY 64 W between Franklin & Murphy)

Accommodations:  Luxurious Log Home, 4 Bedrooms + Loft (See Description), 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)

A beautiful log home located in the gated community of Rainbow Falls, at 4000' elevation, an abundance of wildlife, nature flowers and a breathtaking view of the beautiful mountains of the Nantahala National Forest in Western North Carolina. Our home is located within 2 miles of Appalachian Trail. Common area with 2 acres of walking trails to the falls. "It's not just a community... it's a lifestyle."   

Inside the home the warmth of the log walls and the high vaulted ceiling create an immediate sense of peace and comfort. Nearly 3,800 sq. ft., the Home feels just right. Small enough to be cozy, but big enough for everyone. It's the perfect spot for celebrating a quiet anniversary or hosting a family celebration.

After a fun-filled day you'll love hanging out on the Log Home's wrap-around porch. Rockers invite you to savor the lingering warmth of the sun as you enjoy a cool drink, recount the day's adventures with friends and family, and watch the sun set over the mountains. 

Two and a half hours from Atlanta, Georgia and one and a half hours from Asheville, North Carolina, our home has convenient access yet feels like another world. Centrally located in between Franklin and Murphy, it's an easy drive to: Asheville, Nantahala, Highlands, Cashiers, Dillsboro, Maggie Valley and Cherokee.

Base all your activities from this home. Hiking, waterfalls, rafting, biking, gem mining, canoing/kayaking, shopping, restaurants, Cherokee Casino! Or, simply relax, read a book and rejuvenate your soul!  

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.

 Come for a visit & make new memories!

Talk about getting away from it all!

Review submitted: February 8, 2012   Date of arrival: January 14, 2012

Hi Carlana,
We just got back from our week in your wonderful home. Talk about getting away from it all! We loved it. Most of the folks we talked to said there weren't a lot of tourists during the Winter. That really surprises me. Loved the feel of the mountain air at night and enjoyed the sites.
We are thinking about using our other week in July to try the summer functions as well.
You have an amazing home and my kids really enjoyed the TRUE family time we had even
without texting capabilities!!! Denis
We got plenty of firewood at Ingles (even got an advantage card!) and stocked up.
Left quite a few things in the fridge that I figured your cleaning people might like.
(Lots of beer, soda and non perishable items) I hope that was ok.
Thanks again for sharing your lovely home. The decorations, the window treatments,
just amazing.
All the best...

Best Vacation Ever!

Review submitted: August 5, 2010   Date of arrival: July 24, 2010

This truly was the best vacation ever! The Hoffman House came with all the comforts of home! The view is unbelievable and I agree with other reviews.... The pictures do not do this lovely home justice. Very spacious - plenty of room for everyone. We didn't want to leave. I returned home relaxed. I love the mountains and I love this place! Thanks you Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman for sharing your home.

Wonderful

Review submitted: August 3, 2010   Date of arrival: June 4, 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your Cabin. It was wonderful to have a very comfortable place to come back to after a day of hiking and exploring. We also really liked that after a day out we could come back and relax on the beautiful deck while the kids ran around and used up the energy they had left. The cabin itself was very clean and extremely comfortable to stay at. The kitchen is really beautiful and has absolutly everything in it that you may think you would need. We enjoyed not having to go out to eat for all of our meals and it was more relaxing to have a place that felt more home like to stay in than staying in a hotel. Our kids are 10 and 12 and they really enjoyed exploring around the house and even tried climbing up the mountain. We had a wonderful time and would stay at your Cabin again in a heartbeat.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
