Wonderful Stay in Highlands

The property is exquisitely decorated, warm, inviting and spacious. The property has two spacious bedrooms and a loft bedroom and comfortably sleeps six adults. The great room and dining room area are wonderful, and the home has a large fireplace and an awesome fire pit area outside with plenty of seating. The location is a 5-minute drive from downtown Highlands. I would stay at this property any time I am in the area. It is perfect.

The Gem of Highlands!

We wish we could give more than five stars! This cottage is the hidden gem of Highlands. We love that it's perfectly located on the Cashiers side of Highlands in a secluded area off Hwy 64, since we love visiting Cashiers as much as we love visiting Highlands. And how convenient that a grocery store is within a short (scenic) walking distance, so we're able to easily obtain forgotten necessities on our morning walks. The hummingbirds entertained us as we enjoyed dinner on the shaded back deck (with a creek view). The huge antique table in the center of the cabin and the ample supply of games easily accommodated our fun family game nights. We love that every bedroom has a private full bathroom and super comfy bedding. And the decor is wow! The upscale decor is very similar to the Falls Cottages of Old Edwards Inn, where we have stayed (at double the cost). We appreciated the accessibility and kindness of Kathy, the hostess, who anticipated our every need and made great suggestions for outings. The falconer experience that Kathy suggested was the highlight of our trip. This is definitely one for the memory books, and we are already planning our Fall trip!

About the host

Your host

With over 50 years of visiting in the Highlands Plateau, I have finally bought a home that I want to share with ours to enjoy as much as I do. As a former renter and someone who stays in the home, the beds are very comfortable, towels are nice and the linens are 100% cotton. Let me know if you are looking for the right restaurant, hike, place to fish or shop. My focus will be on you having the best stay possible.

Why they chose this property

Because I have friends in Casheirs and Highlands, this property is in the perfect location to get to Cashiers or Highlands for dinner. The house sits on 1 acre of lush land with a babblng creek behind the house you can listen to sitting on the deck. The outdoor firepit is a great place to convene in the evening to tell stories about the day and see the sky full of stars.

What makes this property unique

Having stayed in mountain rentals with a satelite dish that does not work when it is cloudy or raining, it was important to me that there be Fiber Optic high speed internet to watch tv or work during the week if needed. If you need the speed increased during your stay for gaming or whatever, give me 24 hours notice to make it happen.
