Relaxing Trip

Really nice place. The host very accommodating and allowed us to check-in early. Place was very easy to find and very clean. 5 minute or less drive to downtown Highlands. Since there is no sidewalk on the main road (Cashiers Road) and no shoulder on the road, we didn't think it safe to walk. But it was an easy drive. The place was well appointed including K-cups for the Keurig. Overall, a very pleasant & quiet stay that we really enjoyed. We would stay again when we visit Highlands if the place is available.

Cozy Highlands Cottage!

The house is so cozy, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, and well-stocked with everything you need! Location is perfect, quick drive into Highlands, and easy to get to Cashiers too! The screened porch, back deck, and front porch were all great spots to enjoy the weather! We loved our stay!

Quiet cottage close to downtown Highlands

The cottage was a great getaway with all the amenities. We cooked at property and it had all you needed. It was nicely decorated and well appointed. It’s three minutes from downtown so while it feels so private, you are close to the town if needed. We loved having the fireplace and the screened porch - has such nice features. We will return!

Beautifully Decorated Bungalow

My family enjoyed our stay in this newly renovated home in a great neighborhood approximately 2 miles from town. There are 2 outdoor decks where we spent most of our time when at the house. The neighborhood is very quiet. A relaxing house close to town, hiking, swimming holes and golf. Highly recommended

Would love to stay here again! Very convenient to downtown highlands. Home is cozy and well decorated. Perfect place for myself, my husband, and our 8 month old baby. We loved the screen porch. Also, the kitchen sink is perfect to bathe a baby! Host was gracious and accommodating. 10/10!

Very comfortable and great location

The host was so helpful, and the home was just as pictured with easy access into Highlands. Many extras with comfortable beds, furniture and a stocked kitchen. We spent time shopping in Highlands and listening to some Bluegrass music. It rained most of the weekend, so we bought tickets for a play at the Highlands Playhouse, and it was excellent. A great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon. Due to the rain the carport was a plus for staying dry and loading the car! During an evening break in the rain, we were able to sit out on the porch and enjoy this quiet neighborhood in the mountains and even took a nice walk! Definitely would stay again!

Comfortable cottage

We rented this property for the months of August and September . It is a 2 queen bedroom with 1 1/2 baths . The bonus of this house is the covered screened porch complete with a couch, chairs and tv . We spent countless hours watching birds, chipmunks , squirrels and a few deer . No bears! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood which was nice for walking . Highlands is only 2 miles away. The town has many great shops and fabulous restaurants . On Friday nights there is music on town Square and on Saturday music in the park ! We would definitely stay here again Unfortunately Friday Sept 27 hurricane Helene hit North Carolina with much rain , damaged and fallen trees and closed roads . The town responded to the disaster and a road opened quickly . The town was welcoming visitors back in a week or so . Great place to visit or live. The host was very responsive to any questions or concerns . Highly recommend

Perfect Home Base

This house was the perfect home base for our time in Highlands. The home is cozy, comfortable, quiet and has modern conveniences and beautiful décor. Highlights for us: comfortable bed, strong Wi-Fi for phone and computer, beautiful kitchen and baths, loved the heater on the bathroom exhaust fan for warm exit from shower, nice deck with grill, great location/proximity to main street and easy communication with the owner. We will definitely stay again if we make our way back to Highlands. We loved the town and nature activities, but we really loved coming back to this house to relax at the end of the day. When deciding if we wanted to go out to dinner or eat in, we opted for relaxing dinners at the house. We would highly recommend.
