The hiking and spelunking was exceptional.
After climbing the steep driveway to the peek of the overlooking cabin the three families found their appropriate rooms and settled in. First impressions were great. Spacious and stocked kitchen and amazing basement game room for the kids and adults alike to have fun in. The trails were great and the two mines we explored left us eager to return. Hot tub was cozy and the playground was a cool design.

Could have stayed for a month!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated property and honestly didn’t want to leave! The house is well-equipped for a large group, accommodating our family of children, young adults, and adults with ease. There’s so much to do here, from hiking and spelunking to stargazing and relaxing on the porch with a glass of wine. The numerous fire pits and trails provided days of fun and exploration, and the game room was one of the best we’ve experienced. One note for future guests: the driveway leading up to the property is a bit rugged and challenging to drive on, so I’d recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle and caution against using a low-clearance car. Our host was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated with all the details we needed throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for a week and couldn’t fully enjoy all the amenities the property has to offer. We’re already looking forward to coming back and making the most of it next time!

We were a large group celebrating a friends birthday
Everything was right there on the beautiful property trails,hot tub, volleyball,other games, hammock,fire pits etc. and the house itself was just amazing we were a group of 15 and it accommodated everyone amazingly from top to bottom!! The pics online doesn't do this place justice I definitely recommend this place for family vacations or larger group trips for birthdays or girls trip my only con is that we needed a heads up on the drive up to the house it's not for compact cars they can make it up but kinda difficult so it's best to drive a truck,SUV or jeep but it's well worth it to rent one of those types of vehicles if you don't already own one I was fortunately in my Equinox AWD and came up and down easily but some others had compact cars and had minor difficulties but other than that this is an Awesome place to vacation!! There are soooo many more amazing things about this house and property that you will see that I didn't mention because I will be tying forever but again amazing house and property I definitely recommend it!! ❤️ 5⭐s

Something for everyone at this lodge
The owner is very responsive and has great communication. Was quick to respond when we reached out. The owner has put a lot of thought into this property. There is so much to do on the property for everyone. It was great exploring the trails and waterfalls, and the mine. They are fully stocked with board games, dvd videos, and books. There are plenty of comfortable sleeping areas. Lots of places outside to relax...swings, hammock, fire pit, hot tub. You are in nature...so expect bugs of all kinds and sizes. Lots of beautiful birds too. There is hand soap, but be sure to bring your own soap and shampoo. To get up to the lodge, with its beautiful view, you go up a very steep and narrow, winding dirt road. It is much easier with 4 wheel drive. There is a lot to do in the area. Its a great location. Would definitely recommend this lodge for a fun getaway in nature. We had a large group of various ages, and everyone really enjoyed

Excellent family home
Our extended family, ranging from 1-67 years of age, enjoyed a wonderful stay in this clean and spacious home in the Great Smoky Mountains region. There was ample room for sleeping with comfortable beds. The children enjoyed the bunks and spending time with their cousins on the property. It was nice to have so many outdoor and indoor activities to choose from. The kitchen had ample equipment and the second fridge in the basement was very helpful. The owner was very responsive to any questions. The basement is naturally cooler and the top floor a bit toasty but the ceiling fans, space heaters, and box fans supplied throughout make the entire home comfortable. The sturdy built in safety gates were wonderful with little ones and additional ones were supplied to be used as needed. Though others have mentioned the steep, 3/4 mile drive up to the lodge, it is doable. Highly recommend only going up and down in daylight if you are not used to driving on a mountain. This is an excellent location and home for a family getaway.

Full of adventures
Our family had a fun 6 day stay at the cabin. After figuring out how to negotiate the long, steep, and curvy gravel driveway when we first got there, we were very pleased with what awaited us at the top. The cabin was everything as described; the grandkids had fun sleeping in the bunkbeds in the play room downstairs, as well as the outdoor swings and games. The adults enjoyed the upstairs and the great outside amenities, including the fire pits and hot tub. Most of all, the two abandoned mines were enjoyed by all.

Birthday trip of a Lifetime
What a wonderful, magical hideaway this amazing property is. Our family of 16, ages 8-80, spent a week celebrating birthdays and enjoying the comfortable, clean cabin perched on the mountain. There is so much to do on the property, including hikes, abandoned mines, waterfalls, hot tub, fire pit for smores, and a hammock and swings for just relaxing. Sitting on the porch provided an amazing view of the mountains in the distance while the youngsters enjoyed volleyball, corn hole, and horseshoes below. The bedrooms and baths were comfortable and so interestingly appointed with various outdoor themes, and the game room well equipped including bunks to sleep 6. The host was so very welcoming and immediately available for any communication. This property is a jewel for any large group. We loved it and hope to return!

Yona Wrestling Stay
We traveled to Cherokee/Franklin for a wrestling weekend at The Yona. Four of our families stayed in this home and we had plenty of space. The house was clean, spacious, and had many amenities that kept our crew highly entertained during our stay. Our only complaint is that we didn’t get to enjoy the house as much as we would have liked since we were at a wrestling tournament all weekend. Each of us agree that we’d love to rent this home again as warmer days approach so we can really enjoy not just the home, but the amazing property the lodge offers. We had great communication leading up to our trip. Absolutely no complaints.

Perfect week in the mountains
Everything about this property is wonderful. There is so much to do and the lodge is huge and beautifully decorated. The driveway was a little scary the first time up but not quite so after that initial time. I don’t advise you to attempt it the first time in the dark. Can’t think of anything negative to say about this property. The Mountain Views were amazing and especially in the morning with the fog. We all had a fantastic mountain vacation and would love to come back again sometime.

First and foremost the beds are super comfortable. The entire family commented on good sleeping. All activities pictured in the house were great. The host was super fast with communication and we even explored the mine. Great Kitchen, grill, etc. Highly recommend this place. The best part is that the owners use this place which usually means it has all the little things you need. The pictures don't do it justice.

Beautiful!
We really enjoyed our week at the Lodge. The Lodge is comfortable and well-equipped, and we took advantage of all of the amenities (air hockey, foosball, hot tub, fire pits, tetherball, sand court, trails, etc). There ended up being 11 of us, and we never felt cramped given the large great room, finished basement and beautiful loft. We used the wall of bunks, which worked well for us as we had some working remotely and needing the privacy of the bedrooms. Internet also worked fine, allowing remote work for 2 for a couple of days. Plenty to do in the area as well, and every trip out leads you through beautiful mountains and valleys. The Lodge is located within an easy drive of Franklin for groceries, churches and anything you might need. Driveway is steep and gravel, but well-maintained. Our loaded FWD minivan handled it with no issues. And the drive up the mountain helps set the stage for the peace and privacy you will find at the Lodge. Communication and hospitality from owner was excellent. Note that some of the play equipment has a 100lb weight limit, but the kids that were under that really enjoyed the zipline and swings. Truly a great place to recharge with family and soak in the beauty of God's creation. Great way to start the summer!

Amazing place to reconnect with family
We decided to rent a home for Spring break that would allow us to completely relax, play games, and hike straight off the property. This home was perfect for us and even better than expected! Thank you for providing exactly what we wanted! Everyone had a great time and not a single complaint was heard from any of our four kids (aged 16-10) during the entire trip --- that is saying something!

Wonderful & Relaxing Vacation Stay
We had a wonderful time at The Lodge! From the game room to the fire pit, the jacuzzi, the endless outdoor activities, the two living rooms (one with full gaming selections) to the wall in showers, jetted tub to the super comfortable beds and the two balconies, all of it! The decor was beautiful. Every single thing about the place was inviting and completely intentional. No details were missed! The kids truly enjoyed the s’mores by the fire pit. We enjoyed the views and all the extra love put into the cabin and the surround grounds. When I say nothing was forgotten, I mean nothing was forgotten. This cabin was all inclusive with every needed item, every cozy blanket, every type of pillow, even a yummy ice making machine! We also enjoyed reading the never ending story book and all the fun signs around the cabin and just simply being together with family and friends in such an amazing place. Highly recommend this cabin to others. Great vacation!

We had a group of 16 and had the best week! Everyone was in awe at how much there was to do on the property. Loved the fire pit areas, had many laughs around the fires. The hot tub got used regularly. We cooked meals 6 out of the 7 nights we stayed and always had everything we needed. All the beds were comfy. So many games and entertainment. We had some runners try the Beasley Challenge and I sent their times to the owner, who is very responsive. We didn’t want to leave!

Our stay at the Lodge at Beasley Mine was nothing short of amazing. This cabin quite literally has it all....better than it appears in the photos. Boredom was non-existent....even for hard to please kids. The abandoned mines were such a cool added bonus that the kids and adults kept venturing back in. Huge fire pits, awesome swing (a fav of the kids), big hot tub, relaxing hammock, giant rec room, and an unbeatable view. Kitchen was well appointed, house was clean, check in was easy, and the owner was easy to communicate with. This is an exceptional property- definitely don't pass it up!

There were 8 adults and 6 children. Age ranges from 3 to 65. Something for everyone to do either inside or outside. Lots of stairs outside that may limit activity for elderly. Cozy and well decorated inside with everything you needed to prepare meals. We were there a week and never ate out once! Definitely need to take the walk up to the mines. Bring flashlights or head lamps and a fluorescent flashlight is great for gem mining! This place is great for the lovers of the outdoors!
