About the Place

High atop a secluded mountain between Highlands and Franklin, NC, overlooking The Red Gates. It's a very special place that I think everyone will enjoy. I live here with my 3 dogs, Max, Brutus, and Buddy. Your room has 2 windows to see the breathtaking view of the Smoky Mountains. Relax and enjoy a bright, comfortable room with an exceptional mountain view. There is a television in the room and another in the living room. There is a large bathroom across the hall that is shared, and a half bath on the main floor. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch or watch the sunset with a glass of wine. You are welcome to use the entire house while you're here.
There are many trails nearby.  I've been told to state you should use an all wheel drive vehicle for my road.  It's rough, however people come and go frequently without and don't have a problem at all. regarding smoking, although i don't permit it in the house, i have no problem if you contain it to outside. The cabin was published in Log and Timber Home Living magazine last year and the reran the article in a special edition that came out in January 2024. Red Gates was published in Laurel magazine in 2021.

I enjoyed my visit with Craig and his four adorable dogs. He is very open minded, encouraged me to be clothing optional and made me feel at home. His home is a charming cozy cottage in the woods just as described. The road up to the house is a rutted dirt road but I still managed to get my low slung sports car up there. I wound definitely recommend a stay w...Read more

Craig’s place was a little piece of paradise. Tucked away with an amazing view, and such privacy. The cabin had such unique and eclectic touches, which were all a reflection of him and his wonderful persona. He was so kind and accommodating, as were his other three 4-legged co-hosts, making sure I had everything I needed to make my stay extra enjoyable.
