Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you had a lovely time and that the house exceeded your expectations. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had 14 people stay for a week. We had all ages including kids, teenagers, adult couples and single adults. The layout of the house was wonderful for our big group. We loved the hot tub, fire pit and ping pong table. The Christmas tree and holiday decorations made our family gift exchange quite special. The adults played games, drank coffee and sipped wine upstairs with a roaring fire. Meanwhile the younger generation enjoyed their space downstairs. We would definitely consider visiting again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the home was such a great fit for your multi-generational group and that the layout allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. It’s great to know the hot tub, fire pit, and ping pong table added to the fun, and we’re especially happy the Christmas tree and holiday décor helped make your family gift exchange extra special.
We love hearing how both the adults and younger guests were able to relax and enjoy the home in their own ways. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would be delighted to welcome you back again!
Amazing layout with lots of space. Easy access to Highlands and Cashiers. Quiet neighborhood!

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout, peaceful neighborhood, and convenient location between Highlands and Cashiers. We’d love to host you again anytime!
This house is amazing! Plenty of space for 4 couples (and could've fit 5). The amenities of the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, indoor fireplace, and screened porch were incredible! The location is also perfect as you're pretty evenly spaced between Highlands and Cashiers. I would recommend this house to others and would stay here again!

Thank you for the 5 star review Lorie! We're so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed staying at The Blackberry. Hope to see you again soon!
We visited with a group of couples for a long weekend. There was plenty of space for everyone to either be together or spread out within the home.
It was a beautiful home, clean and great location! Hope to be back next year.

My friends and I attended a wedding and this cabin was perfect for all of the couples and single guests to stay in. It was very clean. The place was larger than expected from the pictures so we were pleasantly surprised. We were grateful for the early check!
The hot tub with a view was another added bonus!

We had a fabulous stay in highlands exploring local water falls, swimming holes, visiting the town, renting a boat on lake glenville and even going tubing on deep creek in Bryson city. The location was great, a few minutes to highlands and 15 min to Cashiers. We traveled with 3 families and we all fit comfortably in BlackBerry. Definitely recommend.

Thanks for the great review Christine! Sounds like you had a fabulous time and we look forward to your next visit.
We loved everything about the house. Our family of 13 enjoyed the home and the surrounding area. We found this home at the last minute because of a previous reservation that had to be canceled in the Boone, North Carolina area. We were so pleased with this home that we would definitely consider renting it in the future. The house is actually so much better than the pictures portray it

Thank you for the wonderful review Teresa. We're so glad that The Blackberry was available for you and you enjoyed your stay.
My husband and I stayed here with our family including 3 adult daughters and one son-in-law as well as two babies under 2. The house was absolutely perfect! The bottom floor was perfect for our daughter with her husband and babies. The master suite was great for my husband and me and the top floor housed the rest. We had plenty of room to gather and really enjoyed the wooded property. One of the best houses that we’ve stayed in.

Thanks Julie! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed this lovely home.
Very nice place and very clean. The only problem is it stayed cold downstairs…about 63 degrees. The upstairs thermostat did not seem to control it, as I was told.

Thanks for the review Kay. We're so sorry you weren't able to get the downstairs to warm up. We will have the issue looked at and make sure that we're providing the correct information in our guest guide.
The management company was very quick in response and helped with recourses that we wanted. They allowed me in early to prepare before the guests arrived. When the guests left some items were left behind so they contacted us to see how we would like to handle said items. Very friendly and eager to accommodate.
