Nice remote getaway!

The owner / host is very responsive . The house is homey and well stocked . It was great having the seasoned split firewood provided! The gravel road is clearly marked and well maintained. With the exception of a low sports car, it is easily passable by most vehicles.

The view is fantastic! One of the nicest cabins I have rented for amenities. Beautiful furnishings on the deck and everything in the kitchen you will need! The trek to get there is challenging and the last ascent is steep. We had no problem in 4wd but that last leg is so bumpy and ruddy that it will shake rattle and roll any vehicle. Love the outdoor fireplace but only had time for one.I was a participant in wedding at chimney pond farm. I had to make two trips both Friday and Saturday. It is not necessary convenient to that venue. Bad planning on my part. But if you are able to go and not have to leave it’s the perfect place! Top shelf!

Mountain View getaway

This was everything advertised and more The owners were very helpful even came all the way from there home to help us out. The fireplace on the deck was outstanding. I can’t say enough about the view. Had a thunderstorm at night and watched the lightning. Would rent this cabin again in a heartbeat

Wonderful view from ridge-top cabin

Nearly 180 degree unobscured views from ridge-top at over 4,400'. Cabin is very clean, very well maintained, and well appointed with all the kitchen and other accessories one would expect (even numerous USB ports). Quality linens and towels. Top notch appliances and gas grill. Very quiet neighborhood. Excellent view from covered deck of Yellow Mountain across the valley. GPS map will direct you right to the front door. We hope to be able to stay here again.

Perfect Escape

We travel to the mountains for Thanksgiving every year, our little unplug and recharge moment. This is one of our favorite homes we have stayed in, everything we needed was there. The roads to get to the home were easy to maneuver (AWD vehicle), and clearly well maintained. The views and deck areas were perfect. We even enjoyed Thanksgiving on the upstairs patio at the table. The kids enjoyed having their own space to retreat downstairs, and the nearby trails were enjoyable for all. Would definitely come again!

Needed Respite Found

Quiet, private, immaculate and very well appointed. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We discovered we COULD find Peace, Calm and a bit of our old selves at this place of solitude. We would recommend arriving well before dusk. It is a mountain climb with many twists and turns on a long private drive.

Amazing!

This was our second time staying here- and the cabin/mnt views were just as amazing as we remembered! We got about 6 inches of snow which was incredible! Definitely need 4 wheel drive to manage driving to/from cabin in snow/ice. Owners were very easy to get in touch with for questions, and kind enough to contact us prior to check in for weather /travel. Cabin was very clean, comfortable beds, kitchen appliances/ pots and pans to cook all meals. Plenty of firewood provided. Can’t wait for next year!

Amazing cabin! Perfect trip to the Mountains for NYE!

A total of 3 couples rented this cabin for 4 nights over the NYE holiday and it was such a wonderful experience. To start, the owners were so great in answering all of our questions and providing information about the area. The cabin was so nice, and had ample room for all 6 guests. It has an incredible view from all three rooms, with a great deck upstairs and an outdoor fireplace where you can sit in the morning with a nice cup of coffee, or lounge in the evening after a long hike at one of the nearby trails. The owners of the cabin have done a wonderful job stocking it with all of the best cooking necessities, which was such a wonderful treat. A close drive to nearby Highlands and Cashiers, this cabin allows you to get away from things for a while and take a nice peaceful break. This cabin far exceeded our expectations in every capacity. We can't wait to come back for another visit!

This home has stunning views. The deck has a wood burning fireplace and high grade furniture making it a focal point of our visit. Our host provided us with plenty of firewood for both the inside and outside fireplaces which we took full advantage of in the cool October days. The home is very comfortable and the host has provided everything you could possibly think of including a crockpot, Keurig and pancake griddle. The beds are very comfortable and cozy. But the two main beds are high and difficult to get in and out of for older short people. A furniture grade step stool is provided. The initial drive in is a little daunting climbing the mountain but the road is well maintained and we really had no problems at all. The house is very clean, updated and well maintained. It was a pleasure staying there and we plan a return visit soon.

KOOL and COOL!This place is wonderful if you want to be in a cool quiet location with a beautiful view. It had everything we needed to prepare meals and has the best porch and porch furniture we have experienced in years of VRBO rentals. We even used the porch fireplace on two days after rain showers cooled us down. In August! Upstairs almost qualifies as handicap accessible (lacks grab bars in bathroom).

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It has a great view of the valley, the temperature was 10 degrees cooler than at the bottom of the mountain, and the place was very clean. Check-in was very easy, the kitchen had all of the dishes we needed, and there was plenty of firewood for our evening fires. Plenty of towels, etc. in the bathrooms, too. The owner also responded quickly to a question I had during our stay.My only issue was the rough 1.6 mile gravel road getting to the cabin, especially the last 100 yards. Our sedan nearly didn't make it up the last part due to the steep incline and the loose gravel. If we'd had a truck or SUV we'd probably have been fine. Very nice place to stay, just be sure your vehicle can handle the road.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
We live in Greenville SC in the burbs. Our fast pace lives begged for a get away. When we saw this mountain top we knew we were going to love this view. Morning sunrise with coffee on the deck sitting by the fireplace. We have two teenagers still at home. They love coming up on their days off and kayaking in Lake Glenville. To get ready for a week in the mountains we pack food, clothes, and toiletries. Everything else is waiting for us. That is what we wanted for future vacationers. No fuss; just walk in and make yourself at home.

Why they chose this property

Due to the elevation, it is always cooler then the surrounding towns of Cashiers, Highlands, Franklin and Glenville. The view of the two south facing decks is spectacular. Sun rising over the mountain across the valley is memorable. Summer activities include hiking everywhere, rafting on nearby rivers and boating on Lake Glenville. Restaurants, art fairs, antique shops, farmer's markets and unique clothing stores in nearby towns. Fall colors are mesmerizing.

What makes this property unique

Two large open decks. Top level deck with outdoor fire place. Serene. Brand new with all hardwood floors
