Spring Break in the Highlands of NC
We had an incredible vacation and loved staying at this beautiful home. The setting is private and the back deck is perfect for relaxing and listening to nature. The yard has a slight slant but is not a hill. It was perfect for walking. The fire pit is easy to access. The house has two large bathrooms and bedrooms with a third bedroom on the opposite end of the home. The kitchen has everything you need to have a meal at home. The owner take great care of their guests and are available to answer questions.They are very kind and pay attention to details. As we were leaving, new pine straw was being added to the landscaping. We will certainly return to this beautiful home and plan to stay longer next time. Thank you for a relaxing Spring Break! Angie and Shields Templeton

Mother daughter get a away
Although the house was not far from the road it felt secluded and quiet and was a perfect size for the 5 of us. The home has a cute screened in porch overlooking the back yard but it was chilly outside so we didn’t utilize it. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped with all necessary items and bar ware. Other than the chandelier over the dining table that had a few cobwebs, the house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would certainly stay again!

Comfortable and quiet - the perfect getaway
We enjoyed our 5th stay at this very accommodating home nestled in the mountains, but only a few miles drive to the wonderful shoppes in downtown Highlands. The many waterfalls never disappoint us with great hiking trails nearby. Ginger & George, FL

Another perfect trip to Highlands/Cashiers
Our cabin was wonderfully situated to witness the peak leaf turning in Highlands, and all the native rhododendron make it feel like you’re completely secluded. The cabin was well stocked with all of the essentials, and everything was clean and cozy. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an option that is located conveniently to both Highlands and Cashiers. Our family of 3 + two sets of grandparents thoroughly enjoyed our week here, and we will definitely add this to our list of places to stay on our next visit to H/C.

A Great Place for a Get Away in Highlands
Property was all that is was described and shown in the pictures. About 8 minutes to downtown Highlands. Well furnished and laid out. Screen porch was very night and the property very well kept. Check in was easy and Ali Mae was very helpful and communicative. We will definitely keep this property on our list for future visits in the area.

Nice getaway
Nice location, very convenient. It was a bit too cold to enjoy the screened-in porch, but beautiful woodsy surroundings. Watch out for the blind curve when you turn left onto the street coming from town. A bit of a steep hill to get down to the house too. But you are in the mountains!
