Great spring getaway

Like another reviewer said, pictures for the listing can't convey the spectacular long-range views or the privacy this cabin affords. We brought our two high-energy bernedoodles and they loved the fenced acre. As amateur escape artists, they inspected every inch of fence, and can confirm it is secure! Listing for the cabin and yurt are accurate - cabin is small, but lovely. Yurt was super cute and fun, but we came during an unseasonable cold snap with lows below freezing and the cabin was more comfortable for sleeping, as one would expect. Little porch outside the yurt was great to relax on in the evenings with the solar lights despite the cold. Tons of available firewood for the firepit was nice touch as well. Could use a refresh on the skillets for the kitchen in the cabin, but everything else was in good working order and easy to use. Games and puzzles available for those rainy days were fun - we're now on a mission to find National Park Monopoly for ourselves. Beautiful sunrise over the mountains to wake up to. All in all, a great trip and would definitely book again.

Best Getaway

My husband and I were excited to spend the weekend close to Cashiers for our first getaway since having a baby. We took our two big dogs with us and Rovers Retreat could not have been more perfect! The cabin is clean, spacious, and cozy. The yard was amazing for our dogs and even though it was freezing, we loved hanging out by the fire. Also, the location is so central to fun spots like downtown Cashiers and hiking in Panthertown. We will 100% be back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Brad & Kim Pickerel

This property has been in the family for over 40 years and we have converted it to rental property for others to enjoy. We live 2 hours away in Georgia and use the property a few times a year to escape the rat race of metro Atlanta. My father purchased the property in the 1970's, started a real estate company, and lived in Cashiers for 45 years. He is now retired to SC and are we are part owners of the property. The original house burned down in 2005; we kept the land and converted the remaining detached garage into a loft cabin in 2010. We plan to keep the property in the family name for years to come.

Why they chose this property

My father wanted acreage with privacy/big view but close to Cashiers for work and golf.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular, sweeping long-range views, 3-acre knob with level lot. Very private, no other homes in site. All the comforts of home in a setting of natural beauty unlike any other. The yurt was added years later as second bedroom studio after the original cabin was built. The yurt was chosen as something unique to the outdoor experience. This "living in the round" unit is world class manufacturing with high quality durability and designed to withstand the harshest environments by RAINIERYURTS in Washington State. Structural safety, tension cables, foundation, roof fabric, wind (withstand 95 to 105 m.p.h), snow loads, fallen trees, animal attacks, protection from the elements, fire, mold & mildew, radiant heat barrier insulation for walls and environmental friendly were the main components in design.
