Couple’s Getaway
It’s a beautiful home, with comfortable beds and very nice amenities! However, the location to Highlands was misrepresented on their listing. It’s actually a 45 minute drive, minimum, not 10 minutes as posted. That happened to be very inconvenient . They also experienced a cleaning issue and unfortunately we came in behind someone who brought a dog (no pet policy). The host stated, that the cleanliness matter is/was not their normal practice, but it did affect us. It was a nice trip over all, but we did experience some disappointment.
The home was clean and beautiful just as was shown in pics. It was equipped with everything we needed! It was spacious and the game room was so fun! We enjoyed the pool table and dart games. We also enjoyed the fire pit and store supplies! It was a wonderful space for our family with plenty of space, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 living spaces, a large deck…. It was perfect!
This place is very pleasant on the inside, and the outside, the mountains, is gorgeous of course. The pool table is very nice, my kids were surprised a rental would keep guests use such a nice one. 😁 We had a hard time finding any place at all to charge our electric car, FYI.
Nice house, quiet and peaceful. I think the price is a bit high for where its located. A bit far out there. We've stayed at another equally nice house closer to Franklin for half the price but was not available for our days.
Beautiful and charming cabin that was perfect for our family. There were many small things the owner did or made available that made the stay very comfortable and welcoming. We definitely enjoyed our trip!
House was well kept and in a great location for our trip. Maria was very easy to work with.

Everything was just perfect. Just what my husband and I needed. We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool table and the fire pit! One of the best rentals we have stayed in! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
This house was perfect! Beds were comfortable and linens were nice. It was a perfect location for us because we were visiting family. The waterfalls were beautiful! We picked a terrible time to go because nothing was opened yet (early March), but that was no fault of the home.
Beautiful home with a lot of tasteful touches. Great location for family adventures and wonderful dinning choices.
Best was outdoor deck for family get togethers. The down stairs not only had lots of things to do, but afforded privacy to adult family members.
.Look forward to booking another stay.
We had a wonderful stay. Maria, the host, was always reachable and very accommodating in our time of trouble when we had to extend our stay. Good amenities. We all enjoyed our stay. The woods surrounding the house are beautiful . We spotted a couple of deer and even a skunk nearby. The house was somehow always very cold whatever temp we set it to but other than that we had a great time.
We loved this location, and will be definitely come back again! The house was clean, the location was private, but close enough to the main road. We took a walk one morning, and the scenery was beautiful! The only negative to the weekend was having to drive the trash to the recycling center at the end of our stay. We didn't have much room in our car with all of our bags in the back - so that was a little difficult. Would love for that to have been covered in the cleaning fee. Overall, it was the perfect place to get away for our family of 4!
Pros: property was clean, beautiful, comfortable!!
Cons: This was a family trip for a retirement celebration. When I booked the trip I booked based on who was in my party. My niece decided to stay with us, last minute. I was billed an additional $50, which was no problem. My complaint with the owner was being called a liar about the (1) additional guess and her overall tone. I felt she was very unprofessional. There is always a way to say something without being rude!!
Only other concern was the water filter needed to be changed as the water was discolored and there appeared to be a place on the rug in the lower level room that looked like vomit.
My other family members stayed at a cabin in which they were provided an outside trash can but with this property you have to transport your garbage approximately 2 miles to the recycle site
Great experience renting this home. Everything was accurately described and thoroughly cleaned upon arrival. Beautiful setting among the trees. Hope to rent again in the future.
We are a group made up of sisters, nieces and a few friends. We decided on Highlands. The house was perfect. For our group. Everything in the VRBO was just as stated and we loved the location.
The property was clean, well maintained and perfectly placed in an area that was at the end of the road. Therefore, made it feel exclusive, yet was very accessible to scenic heights, waterfalls & groceries! Has everything you need to make wonderful memories!
This home was perfect for our family! Everything was so nice & neat, decorated beautifully & it had anything you need. Beds were very comfortable even had UGG blankets. I’m sure we will be coming back!! Thank you
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!This is a nice home but it needs repair from the rotten board on the porch. The owner will try to blame damages on you to get you to pay for them. We stayed there and the owner is trying to blame us for an already damaged wall around a dart board that has hundreds of holes.
What a beautiful home. It had everything. Spotless upon arrival. Open floor plan allowed us to enjoy the outlay of the home. Night after night we would sit on the porch and re-hash the days events of motorcycling. The location is outstanding. A true joy to stay in such a great place. Thank you for sharing your home.
Beautiful property, only a few miles from downtown Franklin
Beautiful, emaculate, comfortable beds, all linens furnished. Well equipped cabin. Great communication with owner.
Only issue was getting up the gravel road there but I think it was our tires. We had to get running start from paved road to get up a small hill. We would stay there again and highly recommend it to others. Sleeps 9 comfortably. But we only had 4.
We LOVE the NC Mountains. This house was perfect. Close to food, shopping and Waterfalls. We rented a boat on lake Glenville. We enjoyed the thunderstorms. We played pool and darts. In a short amount of time we accomplished a lot.
