A few caveats…

Loved the location. The upstairs bed wasn’t super comfortable and the house had a bit of a smell to it. Other than those two things it was great!

Great cabin close to Main Street

House was clean and fully stocked with everything we could ever need. A gift bottle of wine was an unexpected surprise, especially after the 6-hour drive to get there. The location was perfect for all of our wedding events, the daytime hikes to waterfalls, and trips into town. I highly recommend staying in this cozy cabin!

Clean, Convenient, Cute Cottage!

This may have been the cleanest vacation home we've ever rented - it was stocked and ready with everything we needed, it was immaculate and made it very easy to feel right at home. Keith was in great touch with us and made himself available if we needed anything. The proximity to town made it super convenient. We would not hesitate to stay here again - the house was great.

Good location, very good property

The setting, particularly the grounds, were beautiful. The home was well stocked, and about every need anticipated. We had a plumbing problem while there and the owner was somehow able to get a plumber to come out on a Sunday to fix everything. Well done and we hope to stay there again.

Highlands Cabin

We could not have been happier with our stay. The house was very much like the description. Close to town yet in the Nantahala forest. Great location! We cooked home 3 nights, with our choice or the green egg or the weber. Great kitchen very well stocked. Keith was a great host! He went out of his way to be sure we were happy with our stay. Thanks Again Tim
