About this property

Folks, if hi speed wifi for ten people at once is your biggest concern please keep looking. We do have Starlink wifi but it is satellite, which is all that is available on the side of a mountain. It has consistently improved.
Enjoy the view! Covered porches with high end patio furniture and an updated downstairs living room with 3 sofas and 2 club chairs. Come for the hiking, waterfalls, shopping and resplendent dining in Highlands! Or, perhaps you just want to cool off while you escape the rat race and relax on the 24' high deck overlooking the mountains of Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee and Northeast Georgia while the sun sets beautifully behind them. This house has recently been completely renovated with new flooring, all new luxury bathrooms and a fresh new kitchen. The bedrooms all have luxury bedding with brand new high end mattresses. Great for two families with both and upstairs and downstairs masters with king beds, and a bunk room with two twins over two queens, a walk in closet and storage dresser. Heated floors in master bath upstairs and double vanities in both full baths. We have brand new high end patio furniture, sofa and club chairs this spring and have added an upstairs TV to the two we already had downstairs with Direct TV.

*** NEW IN 2021****We have added a new high end patio set with a sofa and two club chairs to the upper deck along with a TV upstairs in the common living area.

The kitchen has all new cabinets, granite countertops, and all stainless steel appliances, including two dishwashers. There is a charcoal grill and wood burning fireplace, it is the guests responsibility to provide charcoal and firewood which can be purchased in town. We have Starlink satellite wifi, telephone but service can be spotty based on our location in the mountains. Cell service can be spotty as well but is improving all the

Great experience

A great property with lots of room. Everything fit our needs for this vacation. Close to town, great living room upstairs for reading by the fireplace during the day. Cozy living room downstairs for relaxing in the evenings. Contrary to other reviews, we had zero problems with texting through iMessage and web browsing. Satellite tv and apps worked very well for us also. The kitchen was perfect. Huge sink, plenty of cook wear and the double dishwashers were a nice touch for group dining. Beautiful view off of the back deck. Very nice firepit area. Beds were comfortable. Showers had enough hot water for four people to get ready back to back. You can't expect much more. Great spot.

Beautiful property

I have been to Highlands twice in the last two years. This property is one of the cleanest, nicest rentals I have ever had. It looks like it has just been renovated. Everything you need is right there. The owner evens supplies certain condiments such as as spices, soy sauce, coffee, filters, etc.. There is a pretty view from the second floor balcony. The furniture is very comfortable. The bathrooms are spotless. So the house is super. I seem to recall however that the listing mentioned wood burning fire places. They are gas however, but nonetheless, remote controlled and beautiful to look at. The only issues with this property are those that have been mentioned in previous reviews. As you leave Highlands and are about a mile out of town heading toward the house, there is NO internet. Your phone cannot make a call and you cannot access the web. This is not the fault of the owner, its just the facts. When you arrive at the property there is Dish, and you can log onto their internet through that medium but it is still slow to no. We could not make any calls from the property although the owner has a landline for use if necessary. However, even with the log in none of us could use our IPhones for surfing the web. I hate that that is even a concern in these days and times but this is the world in which we live. Also, the firepit could be greatly improved if the owner would install a handrail to access it. Lastly, the driveway is not for the faint of heart but you will get used to it soon enough. All in all, this is a very nice place and we had a wonderful time!

Terrific house

House is tucked away and is pretty secluded which we thought was great. There are two other homes nearby but enjoyed the fact it was a bit more isolated. Owners have done a terrific job updating the house and it was very neat, clean and warm. We were lucky and had terrific weather so it was terrific to spend the day on hikes and coming back to a well appointed kitchen, make dinner and relaxing on the deck with beautiful views. We have rented a myriad of homes for short weekend getaways and this is one of our favorite houses we have stayed, would wholeheartedly recommend it. Plenty of space for larger groups (was just my wife and I for the weekend), one of the bedrooms has a bunk bed for little ones. Short 20 minute drive to Cashiers and just a few minutes to Highlands. Great house

About the host

Hosted by Shona Holden

We live in St Petersburg Florida where we own and operate a flooring business. We are avid Georgia Bulldogs and love to spend time up in the mountains when the summer heat is just too much in Florida! Our teenagers keep us busy and we cannot enjoy the mountains as much as we would like, but our loss is your gain!

Why they chose this property

We have the unique combination of a gorgeous, quiet mountain view while still being less than 4 miles or a 10 minute drive to town! We used our designer background to truly provide a luxury property that is beautifully put together with every kitchen gadget you could possibly need and two living areas to spread out with the kids in one and adults in the other! We have thought of every comfort from a heated master bath floor, to dishes for 16, two dishwashers and every kitchen tool you can imagine to a fully furnished deck with sofas, chairs and dining table to enjoy the stunning views with friends and family. Every bed has wonderful linens and extremely comfortable mattresses. It is the perfect set up for two families or extended families to enjoy. Read our reviews!
