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.

Secluded and serene
Location and property was awesome. Facilities and amenities were plenty. Clean and neat. Great outdoor. Great kitchen, plenty of dishes, plates, pots, pans. We enjoyed our stay. Kids enjoyed the basement with all the games. Lady bugs and stink bugs somehow find their way and were everywhere, including beds.

Great place for a large group!
My church youth group had a great stay here and enjoyed all the outdoor space. Lots of lady bugs inside but otherwise the house is beautiful and has lots of space for a large group. The driveway wasn’t too bad but it’s definitely an experience! We would stay here again!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ricky Howe

Host profile image
We are Ricky and Debbie Howe from Tampa, FL. We have three amazing grown children and two beautiful grandchildren. We built our cabin with them in mind. We have large family functions and everyone has something to do. You can stay at the cabin for a week and never leave the property, or you can venture out to the neighboring areas for unlimited day trips. Franklin is surrounded by world class waterfalls, hiking, biking, brewery's, distilleries, shopping and dining. The cabin has everything you need. Our guiding principle was that we never wanted to live in a rental house; we wanted to rent our home.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood consists of long range mountain views, rolling hills and mountain streams. Every season brings new color and amazing scenery. The Lodge a Beasley Mine has everything needed for an amazing vacation. The huge full log construction is rare and incredibly comfy. The lodge sits on 11 acres of adventure. Multiple fire pits, recreation deck, swings, tree tent, climbing wall, club house, Jacuzzi, zip line, caves, hammocks and waterfalls just to name a few. Sit back on the porch at night and watch the kids chase the fire flies. Our guests say that the Lodge at Beasley Mine is the most fun and memorable vacation they have ever had.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is only 11 miles from town, down a 2 lane country road that winds through the  gorgeous river valley. Above the cabin is the Nantahala National Forest with old mica mines. One of the mines has a waterfall and a beautiful crystal clear pool. You can hike through the forest and even hunt during season. There is one year-round waterfall and two smaller seasonal waterfalls with creeks on the property and several trails. We start every morning with a cozy fire in the massive stone fireplace. There are two wrap around porches for watching the sunsets and the humming birds.  The hot tub sits on Mount Jacuzzi over looking the beautiful mountain range.  We have a fully equipped kitchen with everything need to prepare a beautiful meal for a large family. The Cabin is equipped with a whole house generator and instant hot water.
This is mountain living at its best.
