The views were gorgeous as the pictures show. However during the day you can hear the traffic from 64 below. Also the home is right next to a cemetery. This didnât bother us but should be noted.The hot tub was dirty with the cover ripped, covered in mildew so we did not use it. The fire pit chairs were plastic and not comfortable to sit in so never used that area.Most of the high ceiling lights were not working and bulbs need to be replaced asap. We stayed in one bedroom downstairs as there wasnât any lighting for the stairs at night. The kitchen was well stocked, but was so cluttered. The grill on back deck did not work and never got hot enough to grill. This rental could get 5 stars with a bit of TLC.
This place was beautifulâbreathtaking views and super comfortable. It had everything we needed, Peaceful, clean, and relaxing. Weâd definitely stay again
Beautiful cabin and scenery. Family had an amazing weekend away. Relaxing atmosphere, cabin supplied everything needed for the weekend. Beautiful area with many waterfalls near by. Able to connect with nature and disconnect with the normal busy work life. Just what was needed before the hectic holiday season. Will definitely be back!
We loved our stay! We had a slight hiccup on the day of our trip (power was out). Dj was in contact and worked with us to get our trip going. We were upgraded to the larger cabin on the property and it was fabulous. The views from the deck and hot tub area are stunning. We found many hiking trails and waterfalls to explore and all were dog friendly.
Overall good stay.
Positives: This cabin was very quiet, peaceful, and rustic. A great change of pace from the typical day. It was also clean and had a wonderful view from the deck. It was a good size for four adults. Well away from Highlands, but central to attractions and shopping.
Negatives: Needs some TLC. One recliner is hard to work with; foot prop is shot; likely time to throw it out. Master shower leaks onto floor and the pebbled floor of shower looks good, but is harsh on bare feet. No towel racks.
This was our first trip to Highlands. We had an amazing time, and enjoyed our stay at this cabin, which was very cozy, lovely and charming. The host was welcoming and kindly checked in with us to see if we needed anything upon arrival. The view is beautiful- loved having our morning coffee and breakfast out there. Our kids especially had a blast playing air hockey.
Good location- about 15 minute drive to downtown where there are a ton of amazing restaurants. Also tons of amazing hikes and waterfalls in the area! Our favorites this trip were Glen Falls, Chinquapin Mountain trail, Dry Falls, Secret Falls, and Whiteside mountain trail. We hope to be back and would certainly stay here again.
We were looking for a place to get away and relax. The house is way off the beaten path. Cell reception is difficult at time but this is true for the entire area of Highlands. Overall I would stay here again without hesitation
Outstanding Host interaction and cozy cabin with a view
The property was just what we wanted after a hectic graduation week of activities in Atlanta. The view was excellent, and the house was cozy and accommodating.
Out Hosts, Hunter and DJ couldn't have been more helpful and responsive.
VRBO was disappointing. They were for all intents and purposes AWOL, and little more than an advertising resource.
The hosts were great to deal with, always quick to respond to my messages. The views were beautiful, and the hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed by our family. And the air hockey table!
We were just disappointed in the cabin....needs some updating of worn furnishings/appliances and could use a good deep cleaning and minor maintenance. I would be happy to discuss those items with the hosts so they might possibly address those things.
There were not a lot of places to put our things as most of the closets and cupboards (outside of kitchen) had locks. Also, lthere was a lot of what I call tchotchkes that took up valuable space and made it look cluttered. It would not take much to bring this cabin back to its glory as it really does have character and cool features. Loved the drive to the cabin and highly recommend the Highlands area.
Our favorite part was the view. Amazing! Second for me was the awesome comfy bathrobes hanging in each room. Such a nice tough. The cabin was super cute, clean and felt like an old timey cabin without the negatives that come with an old timey cabin. Stocked pretty well with everything we needed. Family of 5, perfect bedroom set up for our family. Teenager was dreaded being bored but ended up enjoying the relaxation and scenery
My family was looking for a quick getaway and this place was perfect. The view was breathtaking and the house is stocked with all games you can think of for entertainment. A great place to unplug.
Great to be back in Highlands. The location was peaceful, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit, hummingbirds, and saw a beaver one evening eating kudzu. Enjoyed our time for sure and definitely enjoyed the cooler weather.
We stayed for three nights in August 2023 and had a wonderful stay. The property is a gem - well located near Highlands and the desirable outdoor areas. We thoroughly enjoyed great meals on the deck overlooking the mountain vistas, sâmores cooked over the fire pit and relaxing in the hot tub at night. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
Secluded! Quiet! Comfortable beds! Includes groundhog!
This house is *private*!! You cannot see another house, or hear one, from this place. Very quiet, beds are comfy, we had a great stay (after the first night).
When we arrived (mid July, 80s outside) the home thermostats were set to 85!! (Checkout directions say to put them on 78... dunno who thought 85 was a good idea!!) We turned the thermostats down and went to town to eat.
3 hours later, the house was still over 80 degrees. When we went to bed that first night it was miserably hot. The a/c took all night to finally get the house to 75. The ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom is noisy, it both clicks and hums, loud. So it was a long night.
After that first night, though, the house stayed comfortable. I bought a fan at the hardware store in town (if you like sleeping with a fan, but noisy ceiling fans disturb you, bring a fan).
We arrived to find the hot tub set to 105 degrees (property info says it would be set at 97, a safe temperature for children) and full of sand from previous users. Turning thermostat down to 100 only made it drop to 102, had to put it on 97 to achieve 100.
I'd also suggest bringing shoes to wear in the shower, because the pebble floor in the shower is pretty, but painful to stand on.
We'd stay here again despite our minor issues. The house is very nice overall and you can't beat the seclusion. There's a groundhog in the back yard we saw every evening eating kudzu. Hummingbirds everywhere! Very peaceful. We hated to leave.
Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay over the 4th of July in DJâs well appointed and maintained home! Host is an excellent and quick communicator. Location was perfect in Highlands - close to trails & waterfalls or a short drive to town.
