About this property

Rustic Mtn. Elegance with Views located Btwn Highlands-Cashiers-Lake Glenville!


Rolling Hills Farm is centrally located between Cashiers and Highlands and Lake Glenville, NC! For a truly unique and one of a kind experience this is it-nothing else on the rental market quite like it! Rustic Mountain Elegance best describes this cabin built with scarce reclaimed material is privately situated on a hilltop with over 30+/- acres overlooking a gentle rolling pasture with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains which include Shortoff, Yellow Mountain(One of the tallest mountains in the area), and Whiteside Mountain(one of the oldest mountains of the Appalachian chain) to name a few.

Recent updates include Starlink high speed internet, new Weber gas grill, new great room recliners, new log twin bed with trundle in basement, and new comfy upholstered chairs in den.

Though large enough to host big family/friend gatherings, it at the same time can be cozy enough for a couple that just wants to get away and enjoy a relaxing time together. Enjoy these spectacular views from a huge wrap around porch with its own fireplace to sit around and roast s'mores, sit under the covered area to soak in the views and feel the cool breezes. This porch is equipped with a gas grill and the porch has several tables to have your meals while enjoying the views and breezes. Additionally, there are other porches to choose from with outstanding views as well with a gazebo to rock your cares away.

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home is 12-15 min away from Cashiers and Lake Glenville, and 17-20 min to Highlands, NC. So yes---you are within just a few minutes of everything to enjoy here. That is, if you want to leave the property! This beautifully decorated home comes complete with all linens and accessories needed. We provide a starter kit of bathroom and kitchen accessories like soap, shampoo, tp, garbage bags, coffee filters for regular Mr Coffee maker, and dishwasher soap, but bring your own supplies for larger groups and especially stays over a couple of days. There is also a Keurig for your use. Plenty of sleeping quarters for 18 in beds- (4 kings, 2 queen mattresses(bunk bed), 1 double day bed, 1 full futon, 3 twins, 3 twin trundles.

There is a detached garage apartment that is self contained and private. It is great for the couple or kids who want their own space, complete with King bed, full bathroom, kitchenette, W/D, and balcony with views.

Upon entry of the Main house, you will find the Great Room and dining area. In the beautiful Great Room there is a magnificent wood burning fireplace, a 65 inch flat screen smart TV, and also unbelievable outdoor views from the two story Great Room! There is an exquisite old Irish pub fully stocked with glass ware, refrigerator, and utensils. The pictures don't do it justice!

When you step into the kitchen you will find modern appliances including a stainless steel refrigerator and double oven, convection microwave with air fryer, but is still housing the old wood burning stove purely for ambiance and storage. Newer large kitchen island with granite countertop offer stool seating where conversations and fun will be had! A second kitchen island offers even more area for prepping! There is an extra table in here that provides more seating and can be moved as well. The pantry has an extra refrigerator for your use and several small appliances, including kitchen aid mixer, ice maker, blender, hand mixers, cuisinart, crock pot, electric griddle, instant pot, and much more. There are empty shelves for your needs as well. This kitchen is fully stocked with all the cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans, cookie sheets, plates, bowls, glasses, coffee mugs, and cutting boards so you don't miss anything from home.

Off the kitchen you find the den with flat screen smart TV and wide pane glass to see the view! From here, you go upstairs to another guest bedroom with a king bed and a twin bed with a trundle bed underneath it. This bedroom comes complete with private bathroom and walk-in closet and spectacular views of Whiteside Mountain, Shortoff Mountain, and the pasture!

Back downstairs off the den is the third guest room which is a very private bedroom. This is one of two primary bedrooms and has a King sized bed and a futon that can be let down to make a full size bed. This room is completely private with a remodeled bathroom with lots of closet space. The bathroom has an easy low step in shower for those that prefer this convenience. A new flat screen smart tv has just been added to this room as well. The views out the windows just sets the mood for the whole day!

Off the Great Room up a separate set of stairs you will find the second huge Primary loft bedroom with a King four poster bed and private bathroom with walk in closet. There is also a full day bed with a single trundle underneath. This primary suite is very spacious complete with shelves of books to enjoy while soaking in the views!

Go back all the way down the stairs past the main level there is the walkout basement where there are plenty of windows and French doors to allow the outdoors and light in to brighten the area. There is another flat screened smart TV, conversation area, full bathroom, and laundry room. Included down here are board games, pool table, shuffle board table, and a foosball table. Horseshoes, badminton/volleyball, corn hole, frisbee golf sets, outdoor ping pong table, bocce ball, spike ball, and various accessories are supplied to be enjoyed right outside the doors! At the bottom of the stairs one can find a large game box with some of these offerings and more. In one of the corners of this room, there is a custom large queen bunk bed, that can be used by adults or kids!
There is a full bath right next to the queen bunk bed. There is a loveseat that can convert to a twin bed as well. This room has a sliding barn door to shut it off from the stairs going up to the foyer and from the small room across the hall that has a new twin bed with a trundle bed on the other side of the stair landing. There are extra sheets and towels stored in the basement laundry room.

***There is an adorable renovated 2/1 guest house (804 sq. ft.) that if not booked can be used in conjunction with the main home for an additional cost. It is also listed with VRBO with ID # 1368655. Though the guest house is within walking distance to the main house by walking through the pasture from the main house or driving to it down the driveway, it is very private and can not be seen at all from the main house. It's located right above a small brook which is wonderful to listen to while relaxing on the front porch or brook side seating area! It has one bedroom with a king bed and a second bedroom with a queen bed. There are love seats in each bedroom that turn into twin beds. The guest house has its own living room with a smart flat screen t.v., a kitchen, and renovated bathroom. This is the original farm house to the property and is very charming.

**Please note the guest house is not part of this rental unless rented separately.***
Also, the barn and back pasture is not part of the rental, not to be used by guests, and not calculated in the acres for use.** There are security cameras at the entrances of the main driveway, barn, back pasture, and about 1/2 way up the main driveway. For the protection of you and the property, at the front door of the main house there is a ring video doorbell and the garage apartment door has a ring video doorbell, and on the main house there is a ring floodlight camera as well that views the driveway and parking area. Obviously, no devices inside the house or in the back outdoor gathering areas, Hunting, shooting of any weapons including guns, bows, etc.. are absolutely not allowed! Fires are only allowed in the great room fireplace and in the deck fireplace, not in any other fireplaces and no bonfires in the yard or pastures!

Rolling Hills Farm is one of the best places to stay in the Highlands/Cashier/Glenville area and offers a truly unique experience compared to other vacation rentals in the area. It’s One of a Kind!!! Plenty of room for everyone in the family, all with their own private quarters; lots of room for the kids to play and roam, minutes from all the activities you want! Golfing-(within 5-10 minutes drive to four beautiful membership golf courses-Mountaintop, Highlands Cove, Glencove, and Trillium), boating, hiking, waterfalls, shopping, and dining of all kinds! With it being so close to all these clubs it makes it a wonderful place to stay for weddings that are near by. It is also very convenient to Old Edward’s Inn, Sawyer Family Farmstead, Half Mile Farm, Trillium, Mountaintop, Highland’s Cove, and Glencove. Please note that events of any kind are NOT allowed and are NOT permitted under house rules. Dogs are allowed for a $250/dog nonrefundable fee.

Second trip to this incredible home. We will return again and again. We have a large family with young children, teenagers, parents, and grandparents. It was wonderful to sit at the big table and ear and visit and play cards...lots of board games to choose from. There is a huge field outside and the kids could run around and play. Rooms to retreat to when you need to have some quiet time. The host is super responsive---but I cannot imagine needing anything---it is all there. No regrest

Mountain Surptise

Planned a 'surprise' 60th Birthday weekend for my wife.....friends and family convening from the SEast. Ice storm from previous few days hampered our ability to use the driveway. Gig was fantastic host as he got all of the guests to the cabin via the back pasture.Property was spacious and accommodating....with spectacular views. For a cold weekend, the indoor & outdoor 'wood-burning' fireplaces were well used. Gig's cabin is great for large (or small) groups....plenty of room for evryone!

2nd successful family vacay

We enjoyed our 2nd year for our family vacation. We come from Nashville, TN and Mobile, AL. The place accommodates us well. I would LOVE if the lighting in the Master and Kitchen areas could be upgraded to LED for a brighter feel. We plan to book again for next year. Thanks Gig for being a great and attentive host!

Dream Escape

Truly a perfect place for a family to gather and commune. Nestled together among the most beautiful vistas imaginable, we felt embraced and our bonds enhanced by being in this house that has such beauty, history, and sense of place. The house and property are more beautiful and special in person than is evident in the photos (although the photos are lovely). Our dogs and our kids (young and old) came alive on that expanse of lawn, whether in the early morning mist or the mid-day sun or the late-afternoon gloaming. Every moment we spent there was heavenly. The owner was ever-available, with our comfort and safety as present in his mind as in our own. Highly recommend.

My husband I were looking for the perfect spot for our family to spend a week in the North Carolina mountains . . . . and we found it! Rolling Hills Farm provided us everything we could want for the perfect vacation: wonderfully spacious and beautiful historic home, amazing views, unique spaces to enjoy being together (loved the fire places!), central location between Cashiers and Highlands, plenty of space to play all the games found at the house, and lots of privacy due to the location on the mountain. And our music loving kids were most impressed with and thankful for the quality of the speakers. We loved the rustic feel of this beautiful home, but we also enjoyed all its modern conveniences (smart tv’s and internet). The owner, Gig, was extremely helpful and most attentive. We would all highly recommend Rolling Hills Farm for any size group and we hope that we are able to return some day.

Beautiful, remote property

Our kids and grandkids joined us to celebrate Christmas, and we had a wonderful time. There were 15 of us, and that stretched this property's bedrooms, sleeping areas, and bathrooms to the limit. The kitchen was adequate, but it was challenging to prepare meals for 15 with the limitations of space, appliances, and equipment. The house is a little difficult to find (winding roads and a very long driveway), but the remoteness of the property is part of its charm. The views by day and the sky at night were gorgeous, and we had lots of room to play outside and explore. The large cabin has tons of character, and it was a warm, inviting place to be together at Christmas. It would be even more appealing with an updated kitchen and bathrooms; the price point was such that we expected more amenities. Our host was very friendly and responsive through all our communications, and he was kind enough to welcome us with some Christmas decorations. He went the extra mile to respond quickly to our questions even though he was celebrating Christmas as well.
