Property Description
Newly remodeled private modern farmhouse with easy access, nestled amongst the trees in a quiet neighborhood with rocking chair front porch to sit and listen to the Cullasaja River and enjoy a cup of morning coffee! Also enjoy the serene outdoors right in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains just minutes from downtown Franklin and Highlands/Cashiers. The waterfalls are a must see! This house sits right above the Cullasaja river so the sound of the rapids is in your back door! During the fall and winter you will have views of the river from the porch! We are just minutes from area attractions If you enjoy hiking, waterfalls, gem mining, snow tubing, rafting, fishing, riding motorcycles, and beautiful scenery this is the place for you!
We are centrally located between Franklin and Highlands/Cashiers. We are just minutes from Dry Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The closest grocery store is 6 minutes away. Downtown Franklin is 8 minutes away with shopping, eating, and breweries. We are just 45 minutes from the Cherokee casino and 10 minutes from the Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center! There are a lot of hiking trails in the area as well. Standing Indian Trail Peak, Nantahala National Forest, Wayah Bald Fire Tower, and Bartram Trail just to name a few.
We offer a fully equipped kitchen should you choose to eat in or just relax and go downtown to grab something from one of the local restaurants and take a stroll through all of the quaint little shops!
We like to refer to this property as Turtle Haven. It is named in a tribute to our parents. My mom and dad called each other “Big Turtle” after my mom endured chemotherapy treatments and lost all of her hair. She would be in bed under the blankets and my dad said she looked like a turtle. From that day forward they called each other “Big Turtle” . This is our way of keeping their memory alive. We hope you make lots of memories here just as we have!
Come visit Franklin, NC and see why “life is better in the country” and where southern hospitality is a way of life!

Quiet Birthday Weekend Getaway
My family of four came to the mountains to celebrate my birthday. The home is clean, quiet, cozy, and inviting. The view of the mountains from the kitchen window is amazing. The host has done a great job of making the home welcoming. There were so many small touches that made the experience feel like home. My family enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table eating and talking, playing games in the living room and sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch drinking coffee, The property is close to several waterfalls which we also explored. It is a perfect place to get away for peace and quiet. My husband complained about the wifi bandwidth. I was secretly happy about it because it gave us a chance to unplug and reconnect. Great stay!

Very nice property
We stayed for a quick, quiet birthday getaway. The property was exactly as listed and extremely clean. The house was decorated for Christmas which made it so much more cozy. The communication with the property manager was smooth and very prompt. We will definitely be back for another stay this fall.

Quiet Location Very Clean
Turtle Haven was in a quiet location along the banks of a beautiful river. It was very clean and well-maintained. I loved the farmhouse theme.
