Great place to stay

We stayed at The Canopy for a wedding at The Vineyards at High Holly. It was a great location just minutes away so it made everything so easy to get to. The house is just as pictured and was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely like to come back and visit the area again. Marilyn is very responsive to anything we asked and we felt right at home. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

Perfect little home base!

We really loved this place! It's in a perfect spot to springboard into any place in Northern GA or WNC withing 2 hours. I loves the uniqueness of having to travel into NC to get to a town in GA! And not to mention there's a giant waterfall 5 min from the house! The master bed is probably the most comfortable bed I've slept on in any VRBO! Check in and check out is a breeze as well! Loved this spot and loves this trip!

Wonderful Time at The Canopy

Our family loved The Canopy house! We all three of us were constantly saying how wonderful every space indoors and outdoors were! It was very cozy and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and we all slept well. The outdoor spaces were where I spent day time hours when at the house! The front porch was my favorite place for morning coffee as I thoroughly enjoyed the cool temps and listening to the birds! I would definitely stay there again!

We can't put into words how amazing this property was for our group. The hosts (Marilyn and Rita) were simply wonderful. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, gazebo was great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a late night cocktail, the front and back porches were great for conversations and lots of laughter. We will be booking again!!

Perfect family house!

We loved staying in this house for a long weekend to attend a wedding. We were most impressed with the sleeping arrangements. It’s not everyday you find a VRBO house with amazing beds/mattresses! We slept great at this house! The kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. My daughter left her beloved stuffy behind and the host mailed it to us ASAP. We are so grateful! 10 out of 10 recommend; we would 100% stay here again.

What a great home!! Tucked in the mountains and very spacious, this house is beautifully decorated and comes with anything you might need! We spent most of our time in Highlands (15-20 min pretty drive), but wished we had more time to stay around the house and hike! Hope to come back and stay in the fall to see the leaves!!

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Carpenter

Host profile image
I am a budding social entrepreneur with a passion for global art, authentic food, specialty coffee, and keeping it local. While I'm originally from the area, my husband and I currently farm, process, and roast coffee in Zimbabwe. We are agritourism enthusiasts and foodies. I co-host spaces with my charming husband, Sebastian, and my uber-resourceful mother, Marilyn.

Why they chose this property

We have curated the furniture, art, and culinary tools in our home to reflect who we are as a family. Our origins, our passions, our directions, and all the places we have traveled on the journey. The Canopy tells our story, and we hope that you find it compelling and resonate with this narrative..... Welcome!

Re-connect with each other in the kitchen, in the outdoors on a hiking trail, around a game of scrabble. Your options are limitless, and that's what is special about this area and our home.

What makes this property unique

Be sure to take advantage of our private sauna and wellness room, our well-stocked chef's kitchen, and all the local knowledge and insider tips from hosts born and bred in the area.
