This is a very charming cottage conveniently located between Cashiers and Highlands. It had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. It was very clean and comfortable. I would stay here again. I couldn’t submit this review without rating the Sking which we would never do and there was no snow in Oct. VRBO should fix this.

My husband and I enjoyed out time at this property while we visited the Highlands/Cashiers area. It was in a great location, just 10-15 minutes from each town. It also had great access to hikes and destinations in the area.

This house is well equipped and has everything a traveler would need. Beautiful, wooded property.

Very comfortable bed, and incredible mountain views. The Rhododendron was in full bloom all over the mountains when we were there. Will definitely return in the future.

Had to purchase glad candles and Fabreeze spray and open all windows to tamp down the odor. Seemed to be cat litter box left in bedroom from previous renter. A number of throw blankets seemed to be affected and possibly used as bedding for pets.

My husband and I loved our stay at this sweet cottage. It's a one bedroom cottage but feels as big as many two bedrooms. The home has beautiful furniture and accessories. I loved the big windows and the front porch with comfortable rocking chairs. This was a great place to watch the very big trees and the change in the clouds when it rained. We spent 4 relaxing days at this cottage and felt renewed when we left. Anne Marie is a wonderful host. She provides very clear instructions on her property and was flexible with our check in. We would definitely stay in this cottage again and would recommend to others.

Weekend getaway to Highlands

My husband and I were looking for an affordable and convenient rental for a weekend away from the stress. For a couple, this is an amazing place and so much better than staying in a hotel! The host was extremely responsive.! We felt very welcome and had everything that we possibly could have needed for the weekend. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing vacation

Great vacation to the mountains, weather was ideal. Cottage was perfect for 2 people and a puppy! Location was good for Cashiers, Sapphire and Highlands. A little bit of road noise though was the only negative. Annemarie couldn’t have been more helpful, and we would definitely stay again!

Lovely mountain getaway!

Very nice house. Great location. Comfortable and clean. Attentive host. Be careful of steep, narrow driveway. Driveway entrance a bit hard to find, especially at night.

Great property

The cottage is very cozy and comfortable. Also a great location between Cashiers and Highlands. Owner was very easy to deal with and also very helpful. Only negative was the mattress in the bedroom. Tend to roll toward center which made it difficult for 2 people to sleep.

Wonderful cottage between Highlands and Cashiers

Terrific European mountain style cottage. Everything terrific except for a few minor issues easily addressed. No soap, missing a few lightbulbs inside and out. Only negative is the driveway is poorly marked and on a very dangerous road.

Great Location

It's a great location if you want to go between Cashiers and the Highlands. It is close to the highway so you can hear cars from the porch. This is the only negative. The interior is nicely decorated and comfortable.

Amazing Stay

The place was lovely and host was very nice! We had a great time, hiking trails and restaurants are all within a good distance as well. Host was very good with getting back to us when we had questions. The weather was a little cold during our stay but the host was very accommodating and made sure there were individual wall space heaters for us in the bedroom and living room. The house had everything we needed for the stay. Would absolutely go back in the future!

Beautiful cottage

Perfect cottage for my husband and I! The furnishings and decor were beautiful! Great location to Cashiers and Highlands. The owner was very thorough in communicating with us everything we needed to know about the cottage, restaurants, directions and surrounding areas. This was also after the hurricane came through the area and she updated us several times on the status of businesses, roads, power, water, etc. It was very reassuring when we did not know what to expect given all the reports of the surrounding areas. We would definitely stay in this beautiful cottage again!

Why they chose this property

When looking for a property to purchase, I couldn't make a decision between Highlands and Cashiers. I loved the activities and people in both towns! So, my only solution was to buy in the middle of both. :)

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy the restaurants of Cashiers one night and Highlands the next. Both towns have outdoor events on the weekends during the summer.
