Wonderful House in a Quiet Location

Red Fern is a very comfortable house with all the basic amenities in a very peaceful location while still being a short drive to Highlands. It was totally quiet and close to lots of good hiking opportunities. We'll definitely be planning to return in the future.

Relaxing Stay

We throughly enjoyed our first stay in the Highlands! The property was very private yet not far from downtown shopping and restaurants. The best of both worlds.. The wood burning fireplace gave it all the more charm. The outdoor secluded fire pit was also a hit! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals. We will be back!

Getting away from it all!

Another great VRBO experience. The owners have thought of everything. The kitchen was well appointed and having internet was important. It's why we chose this property as some of our family needed to do some online work. When the internet went out, the owner drove several hours to come repair it. Love the seclusion but also proximity to Asheville,Highlands, and Cashiers. Great hikes, restaurants and even breweries nearby!

Perfect base for your mountain getaway

The home served us well as a home base for the several day stay by our 5-person group (one teen and four adults). The kitchen was adequately equipped, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The Wi-Fi speed was what you might expect for a home in a remote area of the mountains, and adequate for checking emails and staying up-to-date on current events. The drive to Highlands was quite reasonable and was wonderfully scenic. We found several good hikes in the surrounding area. I can only imagine how beautiful the setting is in peak leaf season. Kati was very quick to respond to my questions and a good host. Overall, we found Red Fern Cottage to be a good value for the price.
