Holiday rentals in Franklin County

We came from California for my dad’s funeral in Preston and booked the house for 3 nights. The communication was great from the start, the house was as described and it was clean and cozy with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The location was perfect for us. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for an incredible cabin weekend! We loved the space, views, amenities, and privacy. We also deeply appreciate that our dogs were welcome here for a small fee. Thanks again for a super relaxing stay, we’ll be back!

The photos don’t do this peaceful place justice. We enjoyed the quiet holiday weekend in the cabin. We were able to have our pups along side our hikes. It’s quiet and beautiful. It felt like a friend let us use their cabin rather than a sterile place. The shampoo/conditioner/soaps were amazing smelling! We will definitely be back.

Evolve was so-so to work with. Sometimes they took days to respond on the Airbnb app. However, they were honest when I pointed out a price error when I changed my reservation. They gave me the correct price which was lower. Denise at the lodge was great to work with. She gave us a full tour at the beginning, telling us how all the different heaters worked, locating breaker boxes, and letting us know about any electric quirks of the guest Lodge. (such as, if a certain light switch was off, what it affected.) She was available by cell phone and even asked us if we needed anything a couple days in. Nobody had brought garbage bags even though we were supposed to and I think she brought some over. She was patient with some family groups who were running late at checkout; she had the cleaning crew start downstairs. Our group was there for Christmas and she was fine with us decorating. She and some apparent family members kept the parking lot plowed. She did send emails with a lot of stuff to read before we got there. It was kinda too much to read haha. The guest lodge was wonderful for our group of about 25, with lots of young grandkids. Overall we felt like we got more for our money because we were willing to drive to the boonies. The scenery was beautiful. We did use the discount at the nearby hot springs and enjoyed it. kitchen: The kitchen and dining room setup was functional, although it's noticably missing pantry space. The kitchen is pretty well equipped with pots, pans, cookie sheets, spatulas, serving trays and a toaster, but missing larger appliances such as a rice cooker or roaster. It does have a small crock pot. There is a spice cupboard with common spices in it. There are some bowls and plates and silverware as well but you probably want to bring paper bowls and plates and cups. There are two high chairs and a Bumbo. living space: There are two "living room" areas, one big enough for all of us, with a toy corner too, stocked with toys and books and horses on sticks. The big living room has a big TV and an electric piano. There's a lock on the piano for if you are worried about kids. There is a sound system that we were able to connect to that has speakers in the TV living room and the big dance hall. However, the sound wasn't great in the dance hall; we couldn't really hear the bass and only one row of speakers was working. Also it wasn't Bluetooth and the cable was janky. And you had to be in the big living room to control the music. We ended up mostly using our own block rocker Bluetooth speaker. Maybe they'll get it updated. But the kids loved running around in the big dance hall. There are large folding tables and chairs in the corner so it could be used for events. In our case those tables and chairs were used to make blanket forts. :) The big dance hall has a fake fireplace as one of its heaters. There are plenty of tables around for crafts and board games. There's also a whole shelf full of board games. bedrooms: All the bedrooms are in the basement except one. I can't speak for everyone but our bed was comfy. there are a bunch of foam mattresses in the loft you can put on the floor to sleep more people. Some people in our group slept on a mattress by the fake fireplace. Bathrooms: 4 bathrooms with toilets. Zero bathtubs. 3 showers that are separate from the toilets. Bring your own shampoo, bring your own towels. laundry: 2 washers and 2 dryers, bring your own soap. internet and cell coverage: The internet was better than we expected, but still not that great. We were able to stream a live video for church, but two-way video calls would sometimes freeze up or the sound would be messed up. Disney plus worked fine on the TV. (our own account). T mobile did not have cell coverage. There's a landline there for safety.
