Fall family getaway

This was our 16th year escaping to the mountains with our extended family (6 adults, 5 kids). The house was perfect for our group - nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom and the younger girls enjoyed the daybed on the landing upstairs. The owners were very responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely mountain retreat

Our weekend stay here was quiet, lovely and fun, despite a strong electrical storm on the last night. The house is nicely decorated, well designed and comfortable, with plenty of seating for large family groups and a well appointed kitchen. Mountaintop views! Very enjoyable!

Wonderful Holiday

My family and I enjoyed this beautiful home for our Thanksgiving Holiday. We are a large family with several grandchildren. We all fit and the 3 levels gave us plenty of room to spread out. This house is one of the most well stocked homes we have rented and we rent home 2 to 3 times a year. I can't think of 1 thing we didn't have at out fingertips. Would recommend to all looking.

Beautiful and comfortable

First, let me talk about the fact that this place has four King beds that are so, so comfortable. Then, it has a big kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The place is beautifully decorated and perfect for a large family or several couples. Back to the bedrooms, there are heating pads on the bed, white noise machines available and heaters for each room. Goodness, this is the nicest place I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. Donna, the owner, is so nice and fabulous with communication. Lastly, this place is spotless. I’m a clean freak and this place passed the test with flying colors. I’d love to stay here again and hope I do in the future. Thank you Donna for everything!!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING

We rented this gorgeous property to celebrate Thanksgiving with our adult children and grandchildren. This was our first family gathering since our oldest graduated High School, so it was a very special occasion. We could not have been blessed with a better location, nor a better hostess. The experience was an easy process from the beginning up until the very end. The hostess communicated everything from directions, entertainment options, check in/out process and everything else imaginable. As an added bonus, the house was immaculately decorated for Christmas…..which delighted our grandchildren beyond measure. We simply cannot express our gratitude and satisfaction with this property and owner. The pictures of the location are accurate, and the home has everything needed for a family gathering.

Great for Digital Detox

The house is beautiful and it's a great location near Dillard and Highlands. The kitchen is very well equipped. Bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. But there was no cell phone service and the WiFi was EXTREMELY SLOW. The owner was responsive to our communications about the WiFi issue, but ultimately we had to go to a public library in Highlands to get any decent internet access. There is a landline, but the reception was spotty. Do not rent this house if you expect to work remotely during your vacation. Also, for young children, the stairs leading from Floor 2 to Floor 1 seemed kind of dangerous, but we found a baby gate in the house that worked well. The yard area is great, but you have to watch young children closely because there is a drop off on the side of the house. Overall, the property is great and we would recommend it for anyone who is okay with completely "unplugging." There were toys, a pack-n-play, and a booster seat, which we found very useful for our toddler. The safety issues outlined above were manageable, but it would have been nice to be able to let our toddler play in a fenced area outside.

Incredible Mountain Home

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The kitchen is well stocked; the decks are amazing; and having a king sized bed and bathroom for each of us was so nice. The house is conveniently located between Dillard and Highlands. We had a great time and will definitely stay again if we take another trip to this area.

Weekend Mountain Getaway

This was a last minute getaway for 3 couples. The lodge was perfect. It has 4 very comfortable king suites all with bathrooms! The kitchen was fully stocked. We enjoyed mimosas and brunch at the large dining room table. The views were amazing. We were a little late in the leaf season but still had wonderful fall views. The lodge has great WiFi service. It is located halfway between Dillard, Highlands and Franklin. Within 20 minutes you can be shopping, hiking, fishing or sharing a delicious meal with friends. We hope to return for a repeat getaway!

Why they chose this property

I chose this home because of its close proximity to Dillard, GA and Highlands, NC

What makes this property unique

I enjoy browsing through the shops and having dinner in Highlands. My favorite thing to have a nice dinner at home and snuggling up in front of the fire with a book or on one of the covered porches. I also like to sneak off to Cherokee, NC occasionally and try my hand at the penny slots at Harrah's. I also like to take my grandchildren to Franklin bowling and to The Factory to play games.
