Description of Hidden Gem from the owner, Jerry & Rita Porter
Accomodations: Large Chalet with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths plus a convertible sofa bed (sleeps 8 - 10). When you come to the mountains you don't have to put up with hand-me-down furniture and less than clean facilities. Hidden Gem is an upscale place with everything you need for your comfort. Our reputation is in the reviews that our guests have given us. We want you to have the best experience you can when you come to North Carlina for your vacation.
Hidden Gem is located 5 miles from the GA/NC state line on HWY 441. It is 9 miles from Franklin. As you drive up the paved road to the top of the mountain you will see Hidden Gem. From the large wrap around deck you have a wonderful view of a mountain vista with layers of mountains.
Inside, the stone gas fireplace provides a warm center for the large vaulted living room. There is a wall of windows looking out over the view. There are 2 bedrooms with king beds, 1 bedroom with a queen bed and i bedroom with 2 twin beds. In addition there is a game room with a sleeper sofa. You can relax in front of one of the two HD TV's ( 46 inch LCD with satellite), play a game of pool, or soak in the hot tub in a separate room which looks out on the forest.
The kitchen has everything you need. If you don't want to grill on the deck, you can cook a fine meal on the smooth-top cook stove. Dishes, utensils and cookware are all included as are the linens for the beds and baths.
Franklin is a quaint, friendly town that loves to have festivals, parades and parties. It has a number of fine restaurants and shops. A recently completed Greenway follows the Little Tennessee River which runs through Franklin. You can hike or bike for several miles along the river. There are nature walks with guides to point out plants, birds and other things of interest. Franklin has a rich history with connections to the Cherokee Indians and to Scottish settlers. Picking on the Square during the summer and fall months invites everyone to come downtown with their folding chairs and listen to the free music and watch the folk dancing.
If your taste is for more lively things there are a number of trails to hike (The famous Appalachian Trail is only a short distance from town). There is also white water rafting, good fishing for mountain trout and views of some of the impressive waterfalls nearby. Franklin is known as the Gem Capital of the World. There are several ruby mines where you can pan for rubies and emeralds. Asheville, with its magnificent Biltmore House is less than an hour away as is Cherokee Village with the Harrah's Casino.
Come stay in our lovely chalet. We have recently completely upgraded the house with new paint, new furniture including beds, refrigerator, stove, pictures, etc. Any time is good. In the spring you can enjoy the mountain laurel and the other native flowers; in the summer relax in the cool mountain air; in the autumn be amazed at the color display Mother Nature puts on for you. And if you are a mind to, spend Christmas or News Years and have a good chance of having a white Christmas. Wildlife abounds. Our guests have reported seeing lots of deer, wild turkeys, fox and even and occasional bear.
This is my personal vacation property. I manage it myself and my family stays here when they come to the mountains. We maintain it in excellent condition. It is clean and luxurious. We would love to share it with you.

3 Best Destinations for Digging Your Own Gem
3 Best Destinations for Digging Your Own Gem
Cherokee Ruby and Sapphire Mine in North Carolina
Located in Franklin, North Carolina, the Cherokee Ruby and Sapphire Mine walks you through the process of finding rough gemstones before screening them yourself. You get to participate in every step along the way to finding rubies, moonstones, garnets, sapphires, and more. If you truly want a hands-on gem hunting experiencing, this is it.Cherokee Ruby and Sapphire Mine is only open from May through October each year, weather permitting. This Cowee Valley staple is a must visit for gem hunters and enthusiasts. The rubies and sapphires at this mine are some of the most previous in North America and the world. Nestled within the Nantahala National Forest, you're surrounded by fishing, hiking, and bird watching all year.
Gold Prospecting Adventures in California
Located in Jamestown, California, Gold Prospecting Adventures lets you relive the California Gold Rush as prospectors did 150 years ago. Using sluice boxes rather than buckets, you can wade through the contents looking for flakes of gold, small nuggets, or perhaps something a bit bigger to take home. Guides help you learn more about gold prospecting, as well as help those getting started rock hunting for the first time with the best techniques for striking gold.Jamestown and the surrounding area are full of things to do. Whether It's the Railtown State Historic Park or a day trip to Yosemite National Park, you won’t be bored on this trip, that’s for sure. Consider hiking the mountain trails out of town or learn the history of the California Gold Rush while visiting. Many old time TV shows and westerns were filmed in and around Jamestown, including Green Acres and Petticoat Junction.
Royal Peacock Opal Mine in Nevada
Located in Virgin Valley, Nevada, Royal Peacock Mine features some of the most gorgeous black fire opals you’ll find in North America. This is one of the more expensive gem hunting expeditions you’ll go on but it's well worth it, especially if you dig within the bank area. The bank area is where the highest concentration of fire opals hide and costs $190 per day per person to dig there, but if you want a bit cheaper experience without as much of a payoff, consider the dumps and tailings of the mine for $75.Royal Peacock Mine offers lodging, history, and more in the Virgin Valley. With a fully-loaded RV park and additional lodging available, you can spend your time exploring the area. Come prepared because you are 100 miles from the closest full grocery store when visiting this Nevada institution. Make sure to book early because Royal Peacock Mine is only open from May 15 to October 15 every year.
