Dolly's Ridge Perfect Mountain Getaway
Beautifully done real log home with views that go on forever. With parking right at the door, you'll enter a spacious "great room" with a wall of glass looking to the view. Cozy up to the fireplace in winter or head on out to the deck in warmer weather to enjoy the views. The kitchen and dining room are right around the corner. Easy to get to the side deck from the kitchen, because someone needs to attend to the grill!
On this same level is a bedroom and bath rich with wood tones. Up a flight of stairs is a loft area, perfect reading nook or simply a "get-a-way" spot. Just beyond the loft is a spacious master bedroom and a large master bath, very private space, as you would have hoped for. On the lower level of the home there is a large family/game room, a full bedroom and bath and the laundry. This level also goes out onto the expansive porch for the view. All this in a coveted area of fine homes. You’ll be between Franklin and Highlands with all the area has to offer.
New fire-pit table added in April 2022.
NOT a pet friendly location.

A wonderful house! Clean, plenty of room for our family, close to grocery store, beautiful view, well stocked kitchen! Highly recommend this home for a stay in the Franklin area.
We had a great time at this cabin. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location was beautiful and easily accessible. An excellent place to get away from the big city!
3 night getaway for our son’s birthday was absolutely perfect. The view is breathtaking and everything about Dolly’s made his birthday unforgettable! Thank you for the perfect stay and beautiful memories.
Dolly's Ridge was great, clean and the three levels were perfect for our family. Great kitchen, plenty of room throughout the house, games for the kids, nice sitting areas on all three levels with an outdoor firepit for making smores. If we go to this area again will definitely check into this place
We LOVED our stay in this BEAUTIFUL A-frame log cabin! Very private, beautiful view, wonderful house. Very convenient to Franklin. This was a GREAT choice!
This home is absolutely gorgeous and immaculately clean. In twenty years of renting, this has to be one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed at and the view is fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed. Communication was excellent and the Christmas tree was an unexpected and nice touch for a Christmas vacation.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Dolly’s Ridge. The cabin was beautiful, and the view was fantastic! It was a very peaceful, quiet location. Bring what you want to cook, fire up the gas grill, and just relax. If you need to get away from it all, this is a great spot to go!
Property was as described in listing. Excellent location. We had one mishap but the host fixed immediately.
Loved the view and had a fun filled vacation.
From the moment we arrived, we were in love ! From the magnificent view, to the flawless , interior design of the cabin! Sitting on the deck at night in the brisk air was nicely accommodated by the warmth of the fire place when we walked in !
We absolutely loved our stay! Gorgeous views from a super spacious and well appointed cabin. We played games (provided) and sat by the fire...wonderful family time. We couldn't have been more pleased! In addition, we were able to shop and dine in several nearby towns. Great fly-fishing in many spots was within minutes. Highly recommend!
This cabin is a wonderful place to get away from it all. It has a wonderful, beautiful view, better than even the photos. It is in a nice, secure neighborhood. The cabin itself is fantastic, clean, and just an overall charming mountain cabin. It is a short trip to Franklin , which is a cute town with shops and restaurants. Highlands and Cashiers are also within 30-45 minutes away. We were just here for two nights, one full day, and the cleaning fee was a bit high , but I know it is a standard rate
Absolutely would stay again!
We love this quiet, gated subdivision and it's location. Close to Little TN greenway, Walmart and downtown Franklin. 3 bedrooms and baths on 3 different levels and a fabulous deck! Kitchen and bathrooms were exceptionally well stocked for our 1 week stay. Cotton linens on the beds. The gravel driveway is steep but no problems getting up and down. Hiked to top of the subdivision for 160° views.
We used Dollys Ridge cabin as our base to go exploring the area. We went to Franklin, Waynesville, Bryson City, Dillsboro, Dillard, iHighlands. The cabin was beautiful and centrally located to many sites to see. It was very clean and well kept. We had no issues or problems at all. However, the internet connection was very poor. Almost non-existent at times. This is the only item I would suggest improving. Loved the cabin and the price was worth every cent!
The home was just perfect for 3 couples. Had plenty of space. The kitchen was well equipped, the house was clean and very nice. Love the deck area, the views were beautiful. Very quiet and private. Would rent again.
With each passing minute, our view would change with the cloud formation and the sunlight. It was truly amazing. Morning light. Evening light. Looked like a painting. Although it's north-facing, the reflection of the sunlight on the clouds and the hills can't be beat. The cabin itself is very nice (the metal roof makes some popping noises at times from expanding and contracting in the heat...which may just be a summer issue...but you get used to it and it's like the place has "personality"). The kitchen is fantastic, large and open, with a great gas stove. The bathrooms and showers are large and very nice. I've had at least two people ask me for information on the cabin so that they can book it, just because they saw my photos on FB. April, the property manager, was very communicative and responsive. Our only issues with the cabin were minor...the wifi is not the best (common in the mountains), and there needs to be more comfortable furniture on the deck. Overall, it's a great place to relax and get-away during these times. We also ventured out to some good restaurants and beautiful waterfalls (don't miss Dry Falls...it's amazing and one that you can walk under).
We've been renting North Carolina mountain homes for almost 20 years and Dolly's Ridge is one of the best we've stayed at. Franklin is a sweet little mountain town, easily accessible for groceries and shopping as well as to Highway 64 for fun fall drives to Highlands and/or Cherokee.
The home's amenities are great - a modern and well equipped kitchen as well as 3 bedrooms on 3 different levels (for privacy when you have had a little too much 'family time'). We found the home super clean and April, the property manager, was very responsive. A nice surprise was the Verizon jet-pack for "portable wi-fi" in the mountains. And, though we didn't start a fire, thanks for plenty of firewood had we done so.
A beautiful home we may return to soon.
