This house was perfect for our family over the Thanksgiving holiday. Kitchen is nicely appointed so we had everything we needed (we did bring a large roasting pan for the turkey). Fabulous location between Highlands and Cashiers. We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this is definitely in the top tier.

Excellent as always

We have stayed at this property several times, and it never disappoints. It has actually gotten better as there have been improvements to the kitchen supplies and decorating. The towels are soft, too. We enjoy the firepit on the deck every night. We like being in a gated neighborhood at the top of the mountain. Our kids like to explore the property, and we usually see deer daily. Easy to get to both Cashiers and Highlands for groceries and dinner.

We love it here

This is our third time at this property, and it is our favorite rental spot in highlands. The views are lovely and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We like to hike Whiteside which is right down the road, and we like to pop into Cashiers and Highlands so being directly between the two is perfect. Property is always clean and comfortable and easy to get in and out. We will absolutely be back soon!

Another wonderful stay

This is our fourth time here and every time gets better. The linens and towels are always spotless and of the highest quality, and new state of the art pans were added to the already very well stocked kitchen. Hurricane Helene impacted the area prior to our arrival, but the host let us know in detail that we could expect no issues and there were none. Another wonderful set of memories for our family.

Fall trip to Highlands/Cashiers

The property was excellent. The house was very well equipped for families renting the property. There was lots of games for children that kept us entertained when the rain kept us from going outside. Also it was a beautiful location.

Perfect

We really enjoyed this home. The decks, the view, the quiet…. Just perfect for a long weekend. Hike whiteside mountain, see waterfalls, visit cashiers farmer market, have dinner and shop in highlands, and retreat to the quiet with a view. Also, the house is great for cooking (very well equipped), socializing, playing games, and resting as well. We will visit again!

Perfect house for family gatherings

This house is perfect for large families or anyone looking to relax in the mountains. It's beautiful inside and out, with an incredible mossy front yard and a great view of the mountains. There are plenty of spaces in the house to hang out, including two game rooms in the basement. It's also located just close enough to Highlands to make it easy to get in town, while being far enough up the mountains to provide quiet relaxation. It was our first time visiting the Highlands and we'll definitely be back.
