Amazing weekend
The cabin was so cute. We loved it all. The view was amazing. It's the perfect location between Franklin and Highlands. Also, the road getting up wasn't that bad. I did it in a Civic.

Cabin on top of the mountain
Beautiful little cabin on the top of the mountain no neighbors super quiet just cute as a button. The hot tub was a great touch unfortunately all we got was rain the whole time we were here so we didn't get much of a view but you can tell it's gorgeous.

Nice getaway
We loved the cabin and the scenery. I thought the sunsets would be on the hot tub side of the cabin and the road getting to the cabin was very scary. However, we loved it. The cabin was clean and cozy.

Perfect Getaway!
My husband I and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the BEST trip! There were notes all over the cabin for use of heat/air conditioning, extra towels/pillows, and instructions on using the fire place. Everything was clean, neat and easy to use. The morning and night views were always amazing. The back porch is what faces the sunrise so watching the birds at the bird feeder in the morning in rocking chairs was so nice. Can not brag enough about how amazing our stay was at Mammy’s cabin.

Be careful with the drive up! Stunning place, however!
The view is just as described-absolutely beautiful. It is very serene and you feel like you're alone up on the mountain. The hot tub was a great place to end our evenings. The drive is just as others described...treacherous. I wouldn't try it without 4-wheel drive. Communication with host was great! If you are a larger person, you may not be able to get up the winding stairwell to go to the upstairs loft - FYI!

Top of the Mountain Getaway
Great views and cabin was exactly as described. You are literally on top of the mountain so highly recommend a truck or vehicle with 4x4 capability to climb up unpaved gravel roads.

Amazing Getaway in Mountains
If you want something remote, peaceful, quiet, surrounded by nature - this is it!! Exactly what we were looking for.
I will say - Wifi did not work at all and service was spotty...and if you're trying to go out every day and do things, it is a 25+ min drive down the mountain just to reach normal roads.
We stayed a full week and only went down twice, really enjoyed the quiet time in the cabin. It has everything you need. Hot tub with the view was awesome! Fireplace was amazing. We did all our grocery shopping first day and cooked there. Lots of blankets and pillows, chopped firewood, kitchen utensils, ice trays.
Thank you for a wonderful week.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin is at the TOP of a mountain so the view is fabulous. Great sunrise and gorgeous leaf colors surround the cabin and the drive up to it.. Nicely furnished with period antiques. It is cozy so look at the total square feet and make sure this is right for you. Very nice host and Franklin and surrounding area are fun to explore.

Wonderful, secluded cabin
They did a good job instructing where everything was and how to use it. They had a binder full of interesting history about the cabin that we enjoyed. The road is very well kept up with to get to the top of the mountain. The fire place and supplied wood was wonderful. The kids loved having a fire each evening.

Fantastic Adventure
This rental is amazing! From its rustic charm to its wonderful history shared through pictures, articles and a summary written by the owner, you will be immersed in its authenticity! The sunrises from the hot tub, the birds swarming the bird feeders on the deck, the incredible Cracker Barrel decor, and the wonderful winding road to the top of the mountain are all just icing on the cake. I highly recommend for a romantic getaway. So quaint and warm. We will return and we can’t wait!

Very quiet and private escape!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this cabin!
Linens were nice and well stocked. There were plenty of towels which was appreciated, especially with the hot tub. The weather was mild while we were here, but there were multiple fans and space heaters in addition to the regular heating and air. I think temperature regulation would be easy! The hot tub was clean and enjoyable. The fire place was a bonus that we didn’t expect to use, but it made for such cozy evenings. Wood and kindling was well stocked.
The house felt incredibly private. The deck and the hot tub were very private.
The road getting up the mountain is a bit scary. I was a bit uncomfortable with the narrow, gravel road but my husband said it was fine. I would have preferred an AWD vehicle, but our Toyota Camry handled it okay. We did not experience any rain or inclement weather during our stay. I don’t know how the road is in other conditions.
The main bed is very firm. It was fine for us, but may not be to everyone’s liking.
I would definitely stay again! This was such a great space for us to enjoy an anniversary weekend!

Love this cabin!!
I cannot say enough about this little cabin! It is so peaceful and cozy. You have everything you need and even little notes to explain things you might not know. The cabin is small but just enough room. This history is very interesting as well.
There is much to see in the area. I love waterfalls so this was the perfect place to find them. So many in the vicinity to see. Highlands is a nice little town not too far.
Take the advice of the other reviews and arrive before dark. The road up to the cabin is not that bad but I wouldn't want to do it at night, at least the first time.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I love Mammy's and look forward to a time where I will go back!
