Old friends
Two old friends were coming to the States from England for work and pleasure. They flew into Atlanta and we hosted them at Buttercup Haven from Tuesday to Friday. The drive up from Atlanta is easy, Franklin NC has plenty to do and Buttercup Haven lived up to expectations. The house is well situated to take in the wonderful views. The house was immaculate, well furnished, and had everything needed for cooking and enjoying the meals al fresco. There is lovely dining table as well but the weather was perfect for being out of doors and Buttercup Haven has beautiful and comfortable outdoor spaces. We could not have been happier with Buttercup Haven. Great fun, good times, we look forward to returning.

Wow. Just wow!
When I booked the cabin for an extended family Christmas, I figured we would have to do without a tree. I was wrong. Not only did the owner have a magnificent decorated tree in the living room, but almost every room of the house had little moments of Christmas on display. Then time and effort spent on decorating, made it feel like Christmas and made our family get together special. Not only did the owner decorate, she went out of her way to ensure that we could get packages delivered and was very responsive to questions we had to prepare for an extended family Christmas. As beautiful as it was with the decorations, I think the cabin will be equally as lovely once the holidays are over. The decor is so well done and the design is perfect for small or large gatherings. We had 4 couples and each had a room with their own en suite. There was also a half bath. The hot tub had a great view and the decks wrapped around the house so you could watch the sunrise and/or sunset. Since it was cold, we opted to watch the beautiful sis sets from the living room which offered fantastic views. We have stayed at many vrbos over the years and this cabin had the best kitchen we have ever seen. The. Best. We made large meals for the extended family and the kitchen had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with serving platters etc. There was a game area upstairs, but also a space downstairs to play. The cabin is close to Highlands, Cashiers and less than an hour from Asheville. Regardless of the season or your reason for going, is a well designed cabin with a thoughtful and responsive owner. We can’t say enough good things and will definitely be back.

Great upscale mountain getaway
Outstanding! Great space inside and amazing views! Appliances and furnishings are excellent. 7 adults and two toddlers… plenty of space. We were there for Thanksgiving, so did a good bit of cooking. Best equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. Great appliances and pots/pans/tools.

A Beautiful home in the clouds!
Buttercup Haven is a beautifully appointed home. Decor is high end and comfortable. Sparkling clean and attention to detail really made our family getaway special!! The views were breathtaking and ever changing. Margaret, our host, was easy to contact if we had any questions. Everything was perfect and comfortable. I highly recommend! I doesn't get any better!

Best one yet!
We take trips to the mountains as a group every year (3 couples / 6 adults). We have stayed at various properties across western NC, eastern TN, and north GA. This one was far the best yet! Proximity to various towns, hikes, etc and the amenities were amazing. We actually cut our day out on Saturday a bit short because everyone wanted to return to the house and enjoy the views. We will definitely return and recommend Buttercup Haven in the future!

20th Annual Girls Getaway
Absolutely breathtaking property! Beautiful views of the mountains. Clean and tastefully decorated home. Margaret, the home owner, was easy to communicate with and was readily available if we needed anything. We all had a great time in the area, plenty to do. We chased waterfalls, went rafting, visited Biltmore and dined at some fantastic restaurants. We will be back! Buttercup Haven was the perfect home to stay in for our Girls Getaway!

Summertime Mountain Vacay
What an incredibly beautiful home and grounds! Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Breathtaking views of the mountains from 4 different comfortable porches perfect for gathering and sipping cocktails. Directions and check in were easy and well laid out. Would definitely rebook this property.

Beautiful Getaway
The scenery is fantastic with wonderful views all around the property. This home is decorated with much thought and great taste. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine for cooking better than any home I’ve vacationed in before. All the light switches are labeled which was very helpful. Beautiful vacation home.

37th annual girls’ trip!
There are 5 of us between the ages of 63 and 85, (this year) who have traveled annually for many years. Buttercup Haven was our best house yet. We had fantastic beds and bathrooms, great kitchen with everything one needs, outdoor seating for the full experience of the porches. And on and on…Franklin was close for groceries, the trash dump or gas. Margaret communicated well and even had a booklet with all information needed. Thanks so much for your lovely house!

Beautiful Luxury Home
Buttercup Haven is one of the most beautiful homes we’ve ever rented. The location is convenient to everything but also very private. Once entering the Featherstone development we didn’t encounter another person or vehicle the entire week. The views are spectacular in all directions. The home is excellently constructed, spacious and comfortable. It is also very tastefully decorated and the furniture and appliances are of high quality. The property and grounds are well maintained. Margaret, the property owner, was easy to communicate with and very attentive. We will definitely stay here again.
