Wonderful property- picture perfect!! View is just as pictured. Enjoyed relaxing on their large deck with comfortable furniture to sit on. Will definitely try to come back to this quiet home in the trees.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful mountain view home. Shona was very receptive to our concerns and took care of us promptly. We would definitely come back again. Thank you!
Really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for two couples with children. Wonderful views and a great location to go visit Highlands and do some hiking. Kitchen well stocked with all necessary equipment. Seems like it was recently renovated as it had a very fresh and clean feel. Thanks!
The description and photos of this property are accurate. The owner is extremely responsive to any questions or needs. We spent six weeks there and it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. W
We loved everything about this property! The decor is comfy and tasteful, the view is incredible, and the location is great. It was very quiet and the bed was amazing. We hiked the Scaly Mtn via Osage Overlook trail - very cool with lots of different things to see along the way. We cooked at the cabin but we were also close enough to pick up food from town. Everything was easy and restful - we only stayed 3 days but it felt like a week! :) Highly recommend!
Stayed here with my husband and son for the weekend. We had such an amazing time. The house was beautiful with such an amazing view. Check in and out was easy. The house was clean and the kitchen was equipped with more than we expected. 10 minutes or less to highlands! Would definitely rent again.
The house is just as advertised. Clean and cleanly decorated. Updated. Really well stocked kitchen with two dishwashers which is a huge plus. The owners were very accommodating. A quick and easy drive to Highlands. Loved it!
This house was perfect! Exactly like the description. Very, very clean, updated, comfortable beds, BEAUTIFUL view and not far from town and hikes. Communication with owners was quick and easy. We loved this house. Thank you for helping to make our weekend away so lovely. We will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house itself looks as it has been recently updated and the kitchen was well stocked. The view from the back deck was gorgeous. A great place to end the day.
Some of us had a hard time finding the property. And the gravel driveway was steep and a little tricky. I definitely recommend 4 wheel drive.
A great property with lots of room. Everything fit our needs for this vacation. Close to town, great living room upstairs for reading by the fireplace during the day. Cozy living room downstairs for relaxing in the evenings. Contrary to other reviews, we had zero problems with texting through iMessage and web browsing. Satellite tv and apps worked very well for us also. The kitchen was perfect. Huge sink, plenty of cook wear and the double dishwashers were a nice touch for group dining. Beautiful view off of the back deck. Very nice firepit area. Beds were comfortable. Showers had enough hot water for four people to get ready back to back. You can't expect much more. Great spot.
The property has been recently renovated with new everything making it stylish and beautiful. The rooms and spaces are great for 2 couples or families. There is no main level TV but that doesn't bother me. We visited in November so it was a little too chilly outside to really enjoy the deck but the views are spectacular, even from inside. The location is very private and secluded just 10 minutes from town. 10 minutes on these winding roads can be a lot for running into town and back though. The home was well furnished with everything you would need and everything is new. Furniture and beds are comfortable. The host was responsive to questions and check in/out was super easy, even in the dark.
We would definitely return to this property for another stay.
The house was lovely. Beautifully updated and decorated. The kitchen was nicely equipped, we had what we needed to cook our planned meals. The beds were very comfortable. Linens and towels were all soft and inviting. Everyone was pleased. We spent time by the fire pit and on both decks, it was all quite relaxing. That being said the driveway was anything butâŠbut we all managed. We went to Dry Creek Falls (beautiful) and downtown for lunch and shopping. Look forward to visiting again with a bit more time to look around. There are a two things that I feel need mentioning that did not affect my review. We were a mixed age group from 25 to 80 and there is no handrail leading to the lower level. We ended up not using what looked like a lovely seating area as the outdoor furniture was not uncovered and the deck had not been cleared. We did use the outdoor table. We know it would have been our responsibility to cover it every night but we felt it would have been more welcoming had it been uncovered when we got there.
I have been to Highlands twice in the last two years. This property is one of the cleanest, nicest rentals I have ever had. It looks like it has just been renovated. Everything you need is right there. The owner evens supplies certain condiments such as as spices, soy sauce, coffee, filters, etc.. There is a pretty view from the second floor balcony. The furniture is very comfortable. The bathrooms are spotless. So the house is super. I seem to recall however that the listing mentioned wood burning fire places. They are gas however, but nonetheless, remote controlled and beautiful to look at. The only issues with this property are those that have been mentioned in previous reviews. As you leave Highlands and are about a mile out of town heading toward the house, there is NO internet. Your phone cannot make a call and you cannot access the web. This is not the fault of the owner, its just the facts. When you arrive at the property there is Dish, and you can log onto their internet through that medium but it is still slow to no. We could not make any calls from the property although the owner has a landline for use if necessary. However, even with the log in none of us could use our IPhones for surfing the web. I hate that that is even a concern in these days and times but this is the world in which we live. Also, the firepit could be greatly improved if the owner would install a handrail to access it. Lastly, the driveway is not for the faint of heart but you will get used to it soon enough. All in all, this is a very nice place and we had a wonderful time!
House is tucked away and is pretty secluded which we thought was great. There are two other homes nearby but enjoyed the fact it was a bit more isolated. Owners have done a terrific job updating the house and it was very neat, clean and warm. We were lucky and had terrific weather so it was terrific to spend the day on hikes and coming back to a well appointed kitchen, make dinner and relaxing on the deck with beautiful views. We have rented a myriad of homes for short weekend getaways and this is one of our favorite houses we have stayed, would wholeheartedly recommend it. Plenty of space for larger groups (was just my wife and I for the weekend), one of the bedrooms has a bunk bed for little ones. Short 20 minute drive to Cashiers and just a few minutes to Highlands. Great house
Awesome experience, only downside is presence of stink bugs inside and outside, as well as did not receive code for front door until 30 min before check in.
My husband and I travelled to Highlands, NC in search of a potential second home. This was the perfect place to have as âbase campâ - near enough to all amenities yet far enough for peace and solitude. It was the perfect place to rest and relax (as much as you wanted).
Shona was a delight to work with and coordinate our stay. Thank you for opening up this mountain paradise.

What a special place! The home is immaculately maintained with views as breathtaking as they appear in the pictures. My only suggestion is to show up the first time in daylight hours as the driveway is a bit tricky. ;-).
Great home, driveway is steep and somewhat hard to find. GPS is inaccurate. Downstairs AC needed to be set below the 72 degree suggestion, but worked prefect on 69. Also, only 2 bags of trash is a little tough with a 10 person home.
We live in St Petersburg Florida where we own and operate a flooring business. We are avid Georgia Bulldogs and love to spend time up in the mountains when the summer heat is just too much in Florida! Our teenagers keep us busy and we cannot enjoy the mountains as much as we would like, but our loss is your gain!
We have the unique combination of a gorgeous, quiet mountain view while still being less than 4 miles or a 10 minute drive to town! We used our designer background to truly provide a luxury property that is beautifully put together with every kitchen gadget you could possibly need and two living areas to spread out with the kids in one and adults in the other! We have thought of every comfort from a heated master bath floor, to dishes for 16, two dishwashers and every kitchen tool you can imagine to a fully furnished deck with sofas, chairs and dining table to enjoy the stunning views with friends and family. Every bed has wonderful linens and extremely comfortable mattresses. It is the perfect set up for two families or extended families to enjoy. Read our reviews!
