Beautiful home with a great view and all the amenities we needed. Worked well for our small grandchildren also. And I loved the hot tub! The mile long gravel road was well maintained and not too far from Highlands and all the waterfalls we wanted to explore. Renata was immediately responsive if I had questions, love that! I highly recommend this home.

This house had everything we needed and more! The kitchen was well stocked and the listing was very accurate. The view was beautiful, though we did not enjoy it as much since we requested help finding the pillows for the outdoor furniture and received no response. Overall, a great place though!

Jewel of the Woods is a beautiful mountain home that includes everything you will need for your stay. My granddaughter was married that weeked at Satolah Creek Farm just a few miles from Jewel of the Woods. It's spacious so you are not on top of one another. My great grandsons enjoyed the bunk room with TV and the ping pong table. Of course, gorgeious view of the mountains. Would love to go back and stay a week. And Renata was prompt in answering all questions. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, relaxing place, Jewel of the Woods is for you! Susan D.

I have to start this by saying we had an amazing trip. Despite a couple drawbacks, this is a really amazing house. The kitchen is super well stocked. The living room furniture is so comfy. The beds were all really comfortable too. And the view was amazing!!The road is rural but go up in daylight and you’ll be totally fine. But there were a couple drawbacks - the main one being lack of communication. I don’t know if she just thought our problems weren’t serious enough but communication was basically nonexistent. As a couple other renters have mentioned, we couldn’t find the cushions for the wood outdoor couch (which is too uncomfortable to use without cushions). I messaged a few times asking about cushions each day of our rental and *never* got an answer. She finally messaged back on our last full day to say she was having app problems and was glad our problems weren’t big. But that was only after I told her I’d have to include the poor communication in my review and note she still never answered my question. We also had problems connecting to the WiFi (which is vital cause there really is no cell service) that she never addressed. Thankfully we figured it out on our own. One last thing - the bed sizes described in the listing are inaccurate. The main level bedroom is a *queen*. The third king is upstairs. Disappointing because we chose this rental partly for the main level king. Overall a really good trip! But just be aware of the possible challenges.

Beautiful property.

The property and home are beautiful. The road leading up threw us off due to the “vrbo not welcome” signs posted along the way.

Great Property For a Relaxing Getaway!

We had a great time at Jewel Of The Woods. The home was clean, comfy and a short drive to the Highlands. The owner has the property stocked with pretty much everything you could ever need, which was fantastic. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to the area!

We love this property. It is our second year back and we are already planning for a 3rd! Plenty of space for everyone, more amenities and improvements since our stay last year. Will keep coming back as long as we are able!

Wonderful Stay - Loved the Porch & View

My family and parents had a wonderful stay at Jewel of the Woods. We spent most of our time just visiting and relaxing on the peaceful deck. The mountain air and views was refreshing. The home is clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed.

Beautiful, clean cabin, great communication with host, close to Highlands with great shops and restaurants. Convenient to hiking trails and waterfalls in the area. The road back to the house is very narrow with some rough spots, so take your time! Disregard the signs that say “turn around “ and “not welcome.” We felt very welcome, and will definitely consider coming back in the future.

Great cabin rental

This cabin was beautiful. The views were amazing! The cabin was super clean and very well stocked. One of the best rental properties we've stayed at in a long time. Lots of room for families. The host and property manager were so great. Very quick to respond. We really enjoyed our stay.

Close to Highlands!

The house is incredibly equipped with everything you need. The grounds and views are beautiful. We enjoyed to close proximity to Highlands and Cashiers, just a short drive to the NC border.

It’s a haul getting up to the property but very worth it! We enjoyed the home so much and our kids (age 11 months to 8 years old) had the best time running around and playing. We really appreciated the baby gate! The bunk bed room was the kids favorite. The house is WELL stocked - the kitchen has everything you need and more, and there are plenty of towels. Also, having so many bathrooms was so nice. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would go back! Glen Falls is only 25 minutes away, and worth the drive/hike!

Highlands Wedding Weekend Retreat

Well pleased with overall condition of property. House is very spacious and has an excellent open floorplan to promote group gathering on main floor, yet provides privacy for individuals/couples on the second and lower floors. If "life in the country" is what you want, the "Jewel of the Woods" will not disappoint.
