Our family of five absolutely LOVED our stay! This home is simply gorgeous (amazing views!), perfectly appointed, and incorporates the latest technology -- and our host, Lee, couldn't have been more accommodating.
This is an extremely comfortable and well thought out home. Close proximity to the Whiteside Mountain hiking trail in a quiet neighborhood, the location is about midway between Highlands and Cashiers.
The home is better than the pictures. The location was easy to find, the house was super clean and the decor was beautiful. The kitchen was over the top with anything one might need to enjoy a delicious meal. Our bed was very comfy and a great spot to recharge after a busy day of touring. Lee was very quick to respond to the few question I had. It is definitely a five star property and my husband and I look forward to returning.
We loved the house. Great location about 15 minutes to both Cashiers and Highlands. Awesome back porch w/ nice grill setup.

The house was perfect for us. Great space, and a fantastic back deck. Also is walkable to Whiteside mountain trailhead. The host communicated well and ensured we had what we needed.
This home is fantastic! This was our second stay. The kitchen, the bed and especially the back porch all were incredible! We hiked the Whiteside Mountain trail, which was not far away. We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Lee Burrell
Originally from the southeast, I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling to 60+ countries around the world and have lived in 6 different (and amazing) cities across North America - it’s been awesome and I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many unique and amazing people.
When I migrated back to my home state of Georgia, it was my dream to be able to design and develop unique and elevated Airbnb experiences around the southeast and share them with guests from all over the world - really showing them what “southern hospitality” was all about and bringing smiles to their faces.
When I’m not taking care of my amazing guests, I love doing things like boating, wakeboarding, hiking, kayaking, SUP’ing, working out, cooking, taking in amazing vistas, entertaining family and friends, reading, and traveling :)
The best part about being a host for me is meeting new people and helping ensure they have the best trip possible and get a taste of the “High” life!
