A mountain view from every room!
Nestled in the Smokey Mountains just 5 minutes from downtown Franklin, NC,
8 minutes to the hospital, and the Franklin Airport
is only 15 minutes away,
with a 4,400' x 75' foot runway that will handle small aircraft to business jets.
Superbly situated in the midst of world class cycling, kayaking, hiking and fly
fishing, and convenient to the Nantahala River, Franklin, and the Appalachian Trail.
