Beautiful house on beautiful property. Just steps from a nice size creek , perfect for wading through. Some spots you could get all the end...at certain warmer months. Hot tub was perfect on the cool nights we were there. The house was in a perfect location right in between Dillard and Franklin with some amazing restaurants just minutes away. But far enough away for peace and quite. The host was amazing...very attentive to questions i had. Check in and check out was effortless.

This property has a built in family friendly feature: a gently flowing creek that is just steps from the house. The creek was our favorite feature, and we played and swam in it every day. The home is nestled in a bend in the creek amidst a hardwood forest. We had all the privacy and space we could have wished for. The home is comfortable, with a nice kitchen and dining room. The balcony gave us a great overlook to creek activities and we gathered several evenings around the fire pit. It met our family’s needs and wants perfectly. Highly recommend.

The house provides two sources of internet DSL and high speed through viasat. Remote work using zoom, Microsoft teams, salesforce.com, ring central has all been tested to work. Communication with the owner can provide internet access instructions to meet your needs. The internet fees included in your reservation allow access to both. It is rural NC so we are happy to have found a great solution for our guests.

What a Fun Time!

I loved this home. It was spacious and clean with gorgeous views! The babbling creek is pretty to look at as well as nice to hear. We had bonfires creekside every night. This home is a great place to stay.

Thank you for communicating before and after your stay. I know the temp dropped down to 27 degrees outside and so keeping you warm was a priority. Sometimes Florida guests do not understand the need to flip between heat modes furnace to electric to be toasty warm and if they do not communicate then it is a problem. I am so glad you were comfortable and enjoyed the home. I wish all guests were so easy to communicate with so I can give instruction, answer questions and assure a comfortable stay. 5 Star Guest. Please come back anytime. Thank you again.

Great cabin away from everything!

Beautiful spot with nice little creek! House needs some cleaning and updating, but the owner was willing to take our last minute booking so cleaning could be related to our scheduling. The yard is a little on the wild side, but can be overlooked as cabin charm!

This is type of guest who wants to change dates, ask for discounts, special accommodations, brings unregistered guests, brings dog and books at last minute. Despite me bending over backwards I realize some reservations I should just pass on and this was one. Guest said she wished there was terraced gardens in the backyard instead of the natural plants on the walk path down to creek. Kind of ridiculous, welcome to NC and the national forest. Comment on cleaning... I contacted guest to understand statement and was told guest had a daughter who was not on reservation but had commented that she wanted to rewash the sheet on her bed because she was a germ freak. The house was cleaned by two maids and all sheets were freshly changed before arrival. This same guest said it was amazing and are now ruined from staying anywhere else then they offered to buy the house.

The house was wonderful, featuring a spacious kitchen and a large master best complete with a dream closet. The living room was equally impressive, with high ceilings and big windows. A cozy fireplace added warmth and charm, making it the perfect spot for relaxing evenings. The backyard was beautiful. I enjoyed the quit mornings with a cup of coffee.

Very nice house , very clean and had everything we needed. The owner Scott was very nice and accommodating also. The heat was on when we arrived which made the house very nice and warm. My grandsons loved the creek and having a campfire at night while roasting marshmallows. Lots of family memories made. Will definitely be back.

Perfect spot to recharge your families batteries

We had a great experience! The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The location and creek were amazing! The kids fished and tubed down town the creek and there were plenty of things to do in the area. Highly recommend white water rafting at the Natahala Outdoor Center on the chattooga river (about 40 minutes away) and the gold city gem mine (about 30 minutes). Scott was great and answered any questions we had promptly. Overall highly recommend!

very welcoming home

We enjoyed both the home and the yard. The kids enjoyed the creek and the rock they name "Pride Rock". It was too cold to get in the water but they still enjoyed the water. The house was very comfortable and the owner had provided lots of little extras to make us feel welcome and to enjoy during our stay.

A great family vacation!

The property was great and the host, Scott, could not have been more attentive and helpful. The stream out back was great for our 16-year-old to fish in. The house is an easy drive from several fun activities. We enjoyed Waterfall viewing, Dry Falls was incredible, as well as Zip Lining at Highlands Aeriel Park. We rafted the Nantahala River and took the train ride into the Nantahala gorge, which was stunning (get the cars with the AC if in the summer). All in all it was a wonderful vacation, and the greater Highlands area is just beautiful.
