Cozy and Private Gem Cabin in the Smoky Mtns of NC, dog friendly, great views!

Craving nature, the outdoors and a family or friends getaway? This place is all that, plus very private. Enjoy the outdoor shower, Large Back Deck or Front Pergola with hanging benches and swings and firepit or also the large firepit, below both. Beautiful views day or night with the sound of nature and the stars shining bright and that fresh, aromatic mountain air! Located in Cowee Valley above the famous Sheffield Gem Mine and only a short drive to the town of Franklin, which offers breweries, restaurants, shopping and grocery stores.
Ruby Gem Cabin offers 4 bedrooms with 5 beds, a queen blow up and room on the large living room sofa to accommodate up to 11 people. The kitchen and dining room are large with plenty of chairs. 2 newly remodeled bathrooms with special design touches, plus an additional outdoor shower for the warmer months.
Plenty of parking.
