This was a really great home tucked up in what we found to be a unique mountain development. The equestrian element of the development was unexpected and awesome! Very private and great views from the back porch. The home was appointed perfectly and very easy to stay in. We had a great time.

Great home. Very comfortable especially the fireplace in the family room. It was perfect for the colder days. Far enough in the neighborhood to feel like you are the only house but also close enough to civilization where the Cashiers Ingles is only 15 minutes away and some great waterfall hiking is 30 minutes away. Thank you for a great start to ‘26.
