A sweet respite!

This was the second year my 3 friends and I have rented this lovely home and we had a wonderful time. We mostly shopped and had delicious meals out. We now range in age from 80-85, so we feel so grateful to have been able, once again, to have this get away respite and fun time together because we don’t know what another year will present to ourselves. Caroline was a very gracious host and we knew that we could contact her should we have any questions.

Perfect for Girls Getaway!

We loved staying in “Caroline’s cabin in the woods”…it was perfect for 5 of us to celebrate 60th birthdays! The view out the kitchen window & deck was SO pretty, almost like being in a tree house. The kitchen had everything we needed and everyone was so comfortable with the 4 BR & 3 baths! Best part was the convenience to Highlands downtown, like 1.2M! The Bascom Art Center was so close too and we want to go back and take a class! Dinner at Paoletti’s & On the Veranda the next night were highlights + spa appts at Old Edwards Inn. Plan ahead for all…reservations necessary! Check in & checkout were easy! A walk near Mirror Lake was so nice and people were very friendly. Hope to return again! Caroline was beyond amazing. We originally were booked in March until the birthday gal got Covid. Caroline worked with us to reschedule to May and we were so relieved. Highly recommend!

🎉FRAGRANCE FREE🎉

I’m so grateful to have found a lovely property that doesn’t use scented laundry detergent, plug-ins, etc. I enjoyed the weekend without worrying about having a migraine triggered by fragrance. The home and location are fabulous! Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Ragsdale

I grew up in Charleston SC, the #1 City in America (according to Travel & Leisure). I have lived here most of my life except for two years in high school at St. Mary's in Raleigh and college at the University of Georgia. After a career as an Interior Designer I switched professions and am now a Realtor. It was a natural transition and is really fun!

Why they chose this property

The first time I visited Highlands I knew that I wanted to have a place here someday. I had been looking for the perfect spot for several years. I knew that I wanted to be close to town but in a quiet setting with a mountain view. I loved that the house was newly renovated yet cozy. It has spaces for everyone to be together or have some relaxing alone time.

What makes this property unique

Some of my favorite features of this house are the fabulous new master bath, cozy master bedroom with mountain views, kitchen with unique craftsman touches and of course the outdoor spaces to take advantage of the lovely weather in the summertime or warm up by the fire pit when the air turns chilly.
