Lovely Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful mountain home! The house was very clean, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The owners were incredibly responsive and offered great recommendations that made our trip even better. The location was perfect — conveniently situated between Highlands and Cashiers, making it easy to explore both areas. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway!

Highly recommend!!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful mountain home in Highlands, NC! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and welcoming experience. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked—not just with the basics, but with thoughtful extras like paper towels, spices, cooking supplies and even a bottle of Chardonnay!The home itself was spotless, with spacious bedrooms and a great layout. Having a private bedroom and bath on each floor was perfect for our group, and the two living spaces made it easy for everyone to spread out and relax. The beds were super comfortable, and the porches on both levels were a fantastic touch—ideal for enjoying the peaceful mountain views, especially in warmer weather.Communication with the hosts was seamless, and they even checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Checkout requirements were minimal which was nice! If we had to be really picky, the lower-level tub/shower is quite deep—something to keep in mind for those with mobility concerns. But honestly, that’s just nitpicking.Overall, this was a fantastic rental, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Charming and spacious cabin in amazing location

This cabin makes for the perfect getaway with each bed and bath on its own floor, it’s the perfect place to book for family and/or friends. The cabin is in a fantastic location right in between highlands and cashiers and within minutes to Whiteside Mountain where you can beat the crowd for a morning hike. Caitlan and Michael were wonderful hosts who provided incredible recommendations. I highly recommend schooling to book your mountain getaway here and will look forward to future stays here!

Absolutely perfect 5 days! The home was perfectly situated between downtown Highlands and Cashiers- making for a short drive to either. It was clean, quiet, private, and so well done. Michael was extremely responsive and we wanted for nothing. We cannot wait to go back!

Great for a couples getaway from the kids

The property was perfect for 3 adult couples. Each bedroom was on its own in the house which was perfect. Great open kitchen and den for those after dinner fires. Beautiful views off the back deck and well located right between Cashiers and Highlands. It was a great weekend! Highly recommend.

Wonderful house, terrific hosts

We were looking for a 3 bedroom house with open decks, privacy, beautiful setting, hot tub, ample space, midway between Highlands and Cashiers, with "Premier Hosts" and we found it all! Spotless. Well appointed. Super friendly and helpful owners. Lush natural landscaping. It was everything we hoped it would be. No need for us to look anywhere else the next time we head that way.

About the host

Host profile image
We have loved coming to Highlands for several years and are so thrilled to finally own a vacation home here. The food, the fresh air, the hiking trails, we could go on and on describing why this is the perfect getaway from our busy lives in Atlanta. 4 private acres right on the Highlands/Cashiers border makes this cabin the perfect location to enjoy all that the area has to offer.
