The town of Franklin offers a number of fine inns and comfortable motels. If you'd like to get a sense of what it would be like to live at Red Oak, stay at the Snow Hill Inn, an outstanding B&B just a mile from our entrance.

This area is so beautiful, once you see it, you will never want to leave.  Here are a couple of quotes that hint at what you'll find.

No other forest in the southern half of the Appalachian ridge system can match the Nantahala National Forest's stark contrast between white-water madness and backwoods solitude. Equal parts intensity and serenity, this primeval forest is hidden away in the Blue Ridge and Nantahala Mountains and simply has no peer in the Southeast. Gorp Travel Site Top 10 National Forests. 

If you are an angler or just a lover of the outdoors, you will absolutely love the Little Tennessee River between Franklin and its confluence with Lake Fontana. If God made a more beautiful section of mountain river, I have yet to see it. Jim Porter.
