Peaceful retreat

Rose creek is close in to town but far enough out to enjoy wildlife, deer, turkeys and several types of birds. It’s a great place to go if you want to get away from it all. Can’t wait to return.

Nature at its best

Peaceful, quite, secluded. We enjoyed the deer, all sorts of birds, a racoon and lots of hummingbirds. Cabin was comfortable and lacked nothing. Perfect for two seniors who enjoy watching nature. Lots to do for families who like to explore the area.

Love Rose Creek

This property never disappoints. It’s a beautiful place to relax and unwind. You can spend hours watching deer feed or hummingbirds flying around all while listening to the birds in the trees. We are already looking forward to returning in October.

Carolina wilderness retreat

Beautiful, secluded wilderness retreat with wildlife right at your back door. We fed the deer and hummingbirds, had a campfire and enjoyed the swing and rocking chairs. Highly recommended if you are looking to escape the fast pace and find peace and serenity.

Great Cabin

We loved the cabin and location. The deer were right outside the cabin every morning and evening. The mama deer was around off and on all day and was very friendly, standing and watching us. She would just move back slightly when putting the corn in the dish. Will definitely be back, just wish we could have stayed longer. The only thing I would suggest is adding to your directions, that the road at the fork is marked as a private drive.

So relaxing

What a fantastic getaway spot. Close to town yet far enough away to enjoy wildlife. We always enjoy feeding the deer and this year one brought her fawn for us to see. Can’t wait to return in the fall.

A slice of haven

If your looking for a secluded, beautiful and peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature this place has it all. Mr and Mrs. Fox makes sure that the cabin feels like home with a the little extra details they have put in from the extra throw blankets in the living room to the basket of goodies in the bathroom full items that you may have forgotten. If I could have i would have stayed there for a month and still wont want to leave. If i get chance again i would book this place again.

The property was a very well put together vacation/relaxing place. Right with nature, and close enough to get to the town side of things.

A Special Place

We've stayed in the Franklin, Cashiers, and Highlands area six times since the summer of 2020. Although every property was nice, this was our favorite. The cabin, including the multiple outdoor areas for relaxing, is top-rate in terms of quality and comfort. The property is located halfway up a small mountain and gives one the feeling that you have southern Appalachia to yourselves. It feels like you are miles from anywhere yet you are only 15 minutes from downtown Franklin. This did not feel like a rental - it felt like home! Our dog, the ultimate discerning traveler, leaped out of the car after we had loaded up as we had left the door open to do one more "check" and proceeded to go back into the house, lay on the floor, and had to be coaxed back into the vehicle - lol.

Enjoyed week long stay

This was one of the best vrbo houses I have rented. The house was very clean and the furniture and beds very comfortable, which is not always the case with vrbo homes. We also enjoyed watching the deer. Hope to return soon.

45th Wedding Anniversary Escape

This cabin nestled in the woods is a perfect place to escape the daily pressures of life. Whether it be for honeymoon, anniversary or a place to spend time together with family. We were able to sit on the porch and watch the wildlife around us, so very peaceful. The deer com to within 50 feet of you to eat and watch you:) So if you need a place to go and let loose of the everyday stress this is your place. We had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return. (Although we would recommend a 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway, front wheel drive can be done with care.) Thank you for sharing your cabin in the woods with us.. Tom and Cindy Titusville FL

A Happy Place

We were one of the first few renters to rent the cabin. It’s in a great location that’s easily accessible to nearby attractions. We were able to hike, white water raft and we even took a day trip to Dollywood. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. Tom has really put a lot of thought into making the cabin a home away from home. The cabin was immaculate in terms of cleanliness. It has updated appliances and the kitchen is one of the best stocked we have ever rented. There is a small creek behind for the kids to dig for gems. We really enjoyed the solitude of the area. Especially, sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds and the deer that were waiting for us to feed them every evening. Tom was easy to communicate with and responded immediately when we contacted him. I would highly recommend this cabin.
