About this property

Welcome to the Mountain Mangrove.

Our secluded mountain hideaway in the “land of waterfalls” is surrounded by forests, rivers and state parks.

The spacious and updated 3 bedroom 2 bath getaway has a large functional kitchen, cozy living room with vaulted ceilings and a stone fireplace, as well as 3 bedrooms with large closets and big windows. Enjoy views of the Gorges State Park from our expansive backyard deck.

This peaceful family and pet friendly home is a hidden gem tucked away amongst the Nantahala Forest and Gorges State Park. Stargaze on the back deck, pick up hiking trails from our backyard and immerse yourself into the natural environment with the sounds of birds, crickets and the Toxaway Falls in the distance.

The surrounding area is home to hiking and biking trails for all skill levels, craft breweries and restaurants and over 100 waterfalls. The Highlands area is the perfect getaway for your next family vacation or mountain escape.

Wonderful & quiet retreat convenient to Cashiers/Brevard

Beautiful property in Lake Toxaway region, very quiet neighborhood right off 64. It was convenient to Sapphire/Cashiers, and also easy access to Brevard. The house was very comfortable and a well equipped kitchen and especially the coffee station!

Wonderful family getaway

We had a family reunion of sorts (3 gen) as we all live across the globe and US. The house was perfect for the stay with the bedroom set up, large dining table and deck area for games and catching up, and work space for the one who needed to do some remote work. The hosts supplied many thoughtful items in the kitchen, bath, and all around that it made us feel welcome, a bit spoiled, and very relaxed! It's definitely a nice getaway!
