About this property

Spectacular Mountain retreat- First time this home offered as a rental

Sitting at 4,500 feet of elevation, this amazing home offers a 180-degree birds-eye view of the Cashiers Valley, lakes, and the mountains beyond. Perched high atop Whiteside Mountain's peak, the experience of being in this home is that of a peregrine falcon soaring through the air.

Cozy up to the fireplace in the living room while admiring the long-range mountain-views through its two-story-high wall of windows. A well-equipped chef's kitchen and dining room are just steps from the living room and the four-season room. Venture out onto the uncovered porch for some sunshine and enjoy the uninterrupted vistas. Wake up in the primary bedroom suite located on the main floor, open the sliding doors, and walk out to the adjoining four-season room to enjoy your morning coffee. This main level also has an additional bedroom and bath, which offers a fireplace and clawfoot tub. The upper level has two additional bedrooms, one large suite with a fireplace, large screen tv, wet bar, and jacuzzi tub. The other with sweeping views and ensuite bath.

There's something for everyone on the lower level with its family room and kitchenette, which is perfect for a movie night followed by a game of pool or table tennis. Another sleeping area provides more space for grandchildren with its rustic bunk beds as well as a full bath. A laundry room off the garage entry offers added convenience. Nearby, the Whiteside Mountain hiking trail is the picture-perfect setting for making lifelong family memories, and it is easily accessible up the end of the private drive.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If I was asked to summarize our Atop Whiteside Mountain experience in 3 words they would simply be: BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED! Blessing #1: Making wonderful memories with my family. This home afforded us every opportunity to simply relax and enjoy our time with each other. Cozying up next to the living room fireplace, playing cards/board games/simply talking (no phones allowed!!)/etc. was a daily enjoyment. Shooting pool and playing ping pong on the lower level allowed the competitive juices to flow, bringing boisterous laughter that could be heard throughout the house. And gathering at the dinner table (all 10 of us) was such a treat, preventing anyone from feeling like they were "shunned" to the kid's table!!Blessing #2: the views and location!!! Oh my, the sunrises and sunsets were nothing less than AWESOME and reminded all of us of the wonderful creation God provided for us to witness and enjoy, and to offer up our praises to Him for his perfect work! Atop Whiteside is conveniently located to so many hiking trails that we had no reason to stay in the house during the day (despite the 20-30 degree temps) and get out and explore more of the great outdoors! One suggestion: bring a good camera and tripod so you can take family photos...I guarantee you the backgrounds you have available CANNOT be beat!Blessing #3: Eddy and the entire Silver Creek team were professional, but more importantly, personal. The Silver Creek team has done a great job keeping the home well maintained with very comfortable amenities, plenty of linens, and a well stocked kitchen for a family of 10. The home was also very clean and orderly, although some "spring cleaning" underneath the furniture is in order :).Bottom line: a great home for gathering family and friends to make wonderful memories and appreciate the beauty of God's creation!!!

Had a great time
We had a great time, and the property was really nice. Comfortable home with great views. We did have some inclement weather with a lot of drizzle and fog, so finding the home at night was pretty awful. We couldn't see more than 5 feet in front of us driving up the mountain, the house numbers are black. If you plan to come up during the night and there is any fog, just be prepared.

The fall leaves and views were perfect. We hit the perfect week. The house had incredible views. The house was great for what we needed. I love the location between Highlands and Cashiers.

Spectacular views
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was incredible, 10 people were there, and it never seemed crowded. The views were absolutely incredible! The weather for August was unbelievable mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Hollins and cashiers were very close with good restaurants and shopping.
