The Hillcrest Hideaway is a perfect basecamp for your next mountain adventure. A cozy private downstairs apartment with a separate entrance, located in a quiet upscale neighborhood, in walking distance to downtown Franklin. A strong wifi allows for remote working while vacationing. With two famous hiking trails nearby, we welcome all walks of life to come hang out on our patio by a fire, get a good nights sleep, wash your clothes, and indulge in a warm shower(or bath).

The space
This apartment is located on the ground floor of our home, within walking distance to downtown Franklin. The space is accessed by a completely separate entrance, providing the utmost privacy. The in-town location provides wifi, often not available in more rural areas around Franklin. We have young children so there is no guarantee that you won't hear fun and laughter during the day. However, it is guaranteed that your privacy will be respected and that our children go to bed at a reasonable hour. The main living space includes the living/dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is stocked, and if there is anything you need, we will try to accommodate.

The bedroom has a queen-size memory foam bed situated in a quiet little reading nook. There is also a wardrobe for the storage of clothes.

The living room has a very comfortable sofa. It does not pull out to a bed, however, it is long enough for 1 average sized adult to sleep.

The private bathroom offers a bathtub and/or shower.

We have a 32' Smart TV to stream all your favorite shows. We encourage guests to log in to their own streaming services.
We do not have cable TV service.

A private washing machine and dryer are available in the basement adjoining the suite.

There is a covered and an open outdoor area for our guests to utilize. Guests have access to the patio, which includes a fire pit. Please provide your own firewood.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but smoking is not allowed on the premises.

Guest access
Enjoy the entire private space as well as access to a private washer/dryer. Feel free to have your coffee or wine or an evening fire on the back patio.

Other things to note
Message to AT thru-hikers:

Located on mile marker 110 of the Appalachian Trail, Franklin is a very hiker friendly community and a perfect resupply location. Franklin is the best of both by providing a great stopping off point without being overcrowded like some of the more touristy points. Franklin has multiple shuttles available, both public and private, to get from the trail to town, and Hillcrest Hideaway is within walking distance.

Outdoor 76 downtown is stocked with all the gear you may need and Walmart and Ingles grocery are close by. Refresh in a hot shower/bath, utilize the washer/dryer, hang gear out to dry, and recharge before hitting the trail again.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our neighborhood is prime for just about everything. We are just under a mile from the Little Tennessee River Greenway; a five mile walking/bike path that runs adjacent to the river with fishing access. If you don't mind a mild hill climb, we are a .5 mile walk to downtown where you can enjoy a craft beer at Lazy Hiker Brewing or checkout a few of the shops, unique to Franklin. Our road is also home to Yonder Market, an incredible artesian market with locally sourced food and gifts. It should definitely be on the top of your todo list when visiting.

Some of Western NC's most spectacular waterfalls are a short drive from Franklin. With the close proximity, make a day trip of waterfalling or an evening drive.
If visiting during a holiday weekend, Franklin is known for hosting great parades and festivals with the charm only a small mountain town can offer.

If you enjoy golfing, Franklin golf course is .8 miles down the road.
Franklin is surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest so there are loads of outdoor recreation opportunites in close proximity.
The Appalachian Trail being about 10 miles and the Bartram Trail only about 3 miles from the doorstep. Franklin is located at the confluence of the Cullasaja and the Little Tennessee rivers making it a great place for anglers to gather.

If antiquing is more your thing there are many cute shops in the area, you will be sure to return home with a treasure.

Franklin is also the Ruby capital of the world. So there are many great gem mines to sift through. Gem mining is a great activity to do with kids, and who knows, you might just get lucky.
