We had a wonderful long weekend at this property! Plenty of room for three couples and a child with an extra bedroom to spare. The cabin came highly equipped and had a beautiful view. Close to some local scenic waterfalls though also enjoyed a day in relaxing in the cabin. Would return!
Fantastic, clean, spacious mountain home with glorious views, and multiple amenities to keep everyone entertained right at home!! Close to Franklin, Dillsboro/Sylva and Highlands for exploration. Hiking from the house, scenic waterfalls in 20 minutes. Super comfortable home with plenty of space for large group. Beds, linens, blankets, all comfortable, and cozy. Sunsets from the porches are amazing. Spacious parking.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient Mountain Retreat
We had a great stay at this beautiful home! Everything was spotless and felt nearly brand new. The beds were very comfortable, and each bedroom was generously sized — perfect for a relaxing retreat. The kitchen was well appointed with just about everything you might need during your stay, which made meals easy and convenient.
The view from the porch was lovely, and although the home is close to the highway (great for access), we didn’t notice much road noise. We especially appreciated the firewood being provided, and the covered pavilion near the firepit was a nice bonus — it allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even during a few afternoon rain showers.
The host was also very responsive and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
All in all, this was a fantastic home base for exploring everything Cashiers and Highlands have to offer. Highly recommend!
What an incredible home! We just finished a week stay and the home is absolutely amazing. It’s new and built with exceptional features and quality sure to please. The views out of the home and off the deck are stunning and exactly what a mountain stay should provide. Sitting outside in the evenings around the gas fire pit provided the best environment for friends to relax and enjoy each other. There is high speed internet which is a plus when in the mountains and the location is perfect and just a few minutes from town/grocery stores/dining. The host/owner Alec is a fantastic host who left no detail unturned when building this home and for providing for his guests. Everything was super clean and fully equipped. You can’t go wrong with this amazing home. We have been visiting the area for decades and continually look for great properties and we found one we will be booking again for sure! Thanks Alec for providing such an awesome home and experience for us!
