    What's special

    This cottage ideally fits the definition of the Perfect Getaway Cabin in the Mountains. It has a Highlands address, but is just 8 miles (about 10 minutes) from Franklin's 441 Bypass & Highlands Rd intersection. The cabin sits along the fast-moving Buck Creek so the sound of the rushing creek will be just off your deck. You'll be lulled into a peaceful state of mind as you relax on the full-length deck that runs along one side of the cabin. Inside the cabin is a cozy setting that includes a woodstove with a stacked stone surround in the living room. The kitchen & dining area are open to the living room in this open floor plan cottage. There are 2 bedrooms & 2 full baths, but there's also a bonus space that's currently set up as addtl sleeping space that could be office space or a reading nook. The large master bedroom feels even more spacious with its cathedral ceiling, and the master bath has ceramic tile updates. The cabin sits on 1.29 acres & it's situated for privacy. A wooden staircase outside takes you down to creek side to play at the water's edge. There's also a firepit & room for the picnic table near the front porch. The cabin has been well-maintained & is move-in ready.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
