Exactly what we were looking for

Very cool old house in a perfect location! Loved the waterfall, especially listening to it from the porch. There is a ton of good hiking nearby. We had visits from hummingbirds, lightning bugs, and a (smallish) black bear. Thanks for providing the home base for our vacation!

We had an excellent stay over a beautiful October weekend. The property is as advertised and even better. We had great communication with the manager, with clear instructions. The property is private and secluded, but close to town. The Fall colors all around us were awesome!

Perfect cabin

This place is awesome. It’s a real cabin, which is hard to find around Highlands these days. The location and the cabin itself help you feel even more in the mountains, rather than removed from them. The waterfall is gorgeous — the owners undersell it if anything! We are already talking about a return trip

Relaxing Stay!

My sisters and I spent a weekend here while attending a wedding in Highlands. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful spot. It was so relaxing to listen to the waterfall and take walks in the woods. The cabin was very comfortable. We all agreed it was like going to our grandmother's home. The cabin was well stocked and had a large assortment of board games. The only things we needed to bring were groceries and a good book! I would love to go back for a longer stay.

Cold home great location

Jennifer was great communicating and let us come in early (we did not make it till 4 anyway). When we got there NO heat. Was told there was space heaters--2 for entire house plus 2 more decorative things that gave little heat. Fireplace was great but needed much more wood. Instead of being concerned over my elderly aunt walking down to the waterfall should be concerned over cold house and no heat al all in either bathroom! Speaking of the waterfall--if you have great eyesight (which my 90 year old aunt no longer has) you can a TINY white spot from the porch. You can hear it well. Nice updated kitchen. Granddad did a wonderful job on his home.

Private and cozy

Wonderfly rustic and very private. You can just see the top of the small waterfall from the patio. The host was very gracious and promptly dealt with a plumbing issue we had on arrival. She seemed more bothered by it than we were but it was fixed first thing in the morning. My daughter and son-in-law loved it as well and we plan on returning.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Roberts

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since the the 30's, when my grandfather helped build it. My mother placed all 14 acres in a conservation easement just months before her death in 2011, and its serenity and rustic character are a legacy to a simpler way of life and a respect and love of nature.

Why they chose this property

This is a cabin where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of electronics and city life. Artists have come here to paint, writers to reflect, and families to enjoy time together. There are numerous places to hike and swim nearby, as well as hikes and waterfalls on the property.

What makes this property unique

When you go to sleep at night, you can hear the waterfall from the bedroom on the side of the house. You can eat on the porch and see the waterfall. The 14 acres make it quiet and peaceful but you are only a 10-minute drive from the town of Highlands, and only 15-20 minutes from Cashiers.
