Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin

Looking around Maggie Valley from this house, I don't think there was a better view to be had. This house is well-stocked and comfortable in every way we would have hoped for and Billy and the co-hosts gave us all the info we needed, but the star of the show is the view over the valley to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the stunning sunset. We definitely need to come back and see it in the fall. During our stay, we visited downtown Waynesville (great shops and restaurants ... Frog Level Brewery and The Red Fox were favorites), drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at many overlooks (Waterrock Knob is a relatively short drive from the house), and we ventured over to the Cherokee and Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The highlight was seeing more than a dozen elk at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center in the morning before the visitor center opened, but we even saw some in a field in Maggie Valley. But mostly we loved sitting on the deck and relaxing in this home!

Excellent location! Home was just as described and like photos. Easily walkable to the downtown restaurants, shopping and activities in Waynesville.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic cabin in Tennessee, and I can't recommend it enough! The cabin was absolutely wonderful—spotlessly clean and nestled in a beautiful, peaceful area that made for a perfect getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was the hot tub, which provided the ideal spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. I was also incredibly thankful that we could bring our fur baby along for the trip. He loved the fenced-in backyard, which allowed him to roam freely and enjoy the great outdoors. Overall, this cabin exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return for another memorable stay!

Took my fiancé for her birthday and could not have asked for a better mountain weekend!

This is my second stay at Michelle's cabin and it's always a great experience. The view is beautiful and the amenities are perfect 👌🏻. Highly recommended!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The views from the house are incredible. It is very peaceful. The place was clean. Nina was very helpful and responsive when needed. We used the pool and hot tub, which was a short walk down the driveway. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting the area!

We felt completely relaxed during our stay, it was exactly the peaceful getaway we needed. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a highlight, especially at night under the stars. The remote location made it feel private and calm, perfect for unwinding. Check-in was super easy, and Beth was very friendly and communicative throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Such a beautiful and peaceful cabin! Prefect location and the hot tub by the creek was the cherry on top to a great getaway!

Everything was wonderful! It’s was a peaceful weekend getaway that we were looking for. Parking is a little tight if you have a bigger vehicle, and the shower is small. Overall would be back!

The Lake house was one of the quietest and most peaceful air b-and-b's we have stayed at. The new back deck is the highlight of the lake cabin. The rest of the cabin is fully equipped and functional, but we hardly left the back deck. With its fenced in area and gate was perfect for the dog. The kayaks and dock are a nice addition. It is located close to good dining at Micas restaurant and Whiteside brewery. We came for the hiking in Panthertown area. We will be back again.

Our family had an absolutely amazing time! The kids were in heaven with the pool and tvs in every room. The house was pristine! Plenty of towels and toilet paper. Instructions were super clear and left room for zero questions and zero fuss for us. Just walk in, and relax! Or go out and have endless adventures! There’s so much to do nearby, but you feel like you are tucked away from it all at the cabin. They even had the lights timed to be on the balcony to welcome us after a day of hiking and play. We would DEFINITELY stay again. The whole family and grandparents were comfortable. Everyone had plenty of space to separate and also enjoy some time together. Thanks for the fun game of Yahtzee with mimosas! This is the stuff family memories are made of so we appreciate you sharing this beautiful space. We didn’t see any bears but saw squirrels, bunnies, beautiful birds and abundant stunning views. Everything was well stocked above and beyond other places we have stayed- Loved every moment!

Loved the hot tub on the deck. The view was beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking in, and the amenities were great. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and fishing along the river. The kids toys and games were a nice addition. Nicki was very friendly and responsive. We’d love to stay here again next year!

The view is amazing! Plenty of room and loved that it was pet friendly. The area is challenging for walking them but that is typical for the mountains. Nice small fenced area, just know there is a large groundhog (not aggressive) who lives under the porch so keep an eye out for him if your pet likes to chase them! Plenty of kitchen supplies. Nice large master suite!

This was our first experience with Airbnb. And, Jennie’s house couldn’t have been more perfect. The space was perfect for us and our three young adult/adult children. Family time was incredible in this well-appointed, beautiful home! We played Pac Man. We had impromptu pool tournaments. My daughter had a well-deserved night of self care in the jacuzzi tub. The coffee bar was stocked with both K-cups and loose coffee, sugar and creamers for the two provided coffee makers. All of the appliances were clean and functioned perfectly. The beds were comfortable and the sheets couldn’t have been softer. I always have trouble both going to sleep and staying asleep. But, the combination of the mountain air and the homey cabin feel afforded me the best 5 nights of sleep I have had in decades. Jennie offered useful area recommendations, provided consistently friendly correspondence and quickly provided any troubleshooting we needed. Thank you, Jennie, for an incredibly memorable first experience.

This was our second stay at Carolyn’s wonderful Airbnb, and it was just as perfect as the first! The lake views are absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect getaway. Carolyn is a fantastic experienced host, thoughtful and welcoming. It felt like coming back home. Our dog got to join us, and he loved it just as much as we did! If you’re traveling with a dog, you can’t beat the accommodations of Carolyn‘s place. It’s so nice to find a place that’s both pet-friendly and convenient and nice and truly relaxing for humans. We can’t recommend Carolyn’s home high enough and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Carolyn, for another amazing visit!

We really enjoyed our stay! We were looking for a cute and comfortable place to stay while we were in town for my daughters musical performance at WCU. Greta's house was perfect. It was very clean and beautifully decorated and is very close to the university. This is a great house!

We loved being able to travel with our dogs. The backyard was beautiful we enjoyed sitting on the deck as well as letting the dogs run free in the woods in the back! She was very responsive and a great host.

This was our second time staying in this beautiful mountain hide-away in the Deep Creek / Bryson City area. We love the hike all around the property - it's amazing in itself - but also very easy to get to 'the road to nowhere', the Great Smokey Mountain National Park is basically connected to the property, it's so close! If you want to get away from the city / noise of urban areas, this is for you! Large, open home with two full baths, so great for a family (and our pups love it here, too)!!

Great house in amazing location! The house has plenty of space and was stocked extremely well even for our large party. There are plenty of amenities within the house itself, such as a canoe, volleyball nets, ping-pong tables, a firepit and a grill, as well as in the surrounding area. Leah was responsive and easy to reach. It was a great weekend getaway and I would highly reccommend the house!

Easy check in. Hosts allowed early check-in because we arrived too early. Dog run available for use while we needed to get ready for different events. Well centered between Franklin and Sylva. Short drive to Georgia state line going South. Short ride to Waynesville going east. Follow hosts direction not to take Brendle to home. We have a 4WD Jeep and used it but would not recommend for small sedans or SUV’s/trucks. We also were able to get a delivery from Instacart for our groceries.

This was a great rental! The place was clean and free of bugs. The kitchen had a great assortment of dishware and you could easily cook meals. Lots of room to enjoy the fantastic views.

Laura is an amazing host and very organized! Take Paws has everything you need including kitchen accessories, bedding, outdoor grilling & a fire pit. It’s also a great location beyond just Franklin, like visiting Highlands, Bryson City and playing golf at Sequoyah National Golf Course. Very easy to find and so peaceful!

Our stay at Loriel and Adam's cabin was amazing! If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, look no further! 10/10 would recommend! We hope to get back here in the future.
