Beautiful Views

We had an amazing anniversary trip here. We brought our dog along, which made the gated porch a really nice feature for us. The location is great, as well, near a lot of different hikes. The views were beautiful and we were able to grill and drink our morning coffee out on the porch. We were also able to use the fireplace in the evenings, which was made for a lovely ambience. We would definitely come back again!

We enjoyed our stay! The location is central and the home is precious. The view from the living room is of the mountains. We loved using the wood burning fireplace. For our stay, it was just what we needed. Thanks so much!

Perfect Lazy Weekend

Great spot to just relax, build a fire, lay on the sofas, and look out at the great mountain view. Even in off season it was a great distance view of the mountains. Grill was great for grilling steaks. The bed was very comfortable. Ready to come back and be lazy again.

Great cabin

This Cabin was everything and so was this area. The cabin is in a perfect location central to the waterfalls and hiking trails in the area. The cabin is spotless clean and has everything you need. I have been exploring the wnc area for 20 years and this is the best cabin I have stayed in. Lisa is very easy to work with. Will visit again soon thanks Lisa

Thanksgiving Getaway!

This cabin was the perfect getaway for our Thanksgiving trip! The house is comfortable and with a roaring fire in the stone fireplace, it was the coziest place ever! It's convenient to anything you need (even a Starbucks!) and plenty of nature literally right outside your door! The location is close to hundreds of hiking trails, mountain biking and road cycling. The town of Cashiers is loaded with cute shops and restaurants and a great grocery store. We loved our stay and look forward to going back in the future!

Perfect & Cozy

Property was super clean and prepared for us to come in cold weather. The main living area is cozy and perfect size. We didn’t use the upstairs as it was just two of us. Good location, 15 minutes to Cashiers and 30 minutes to Highlands. We also went to Asheville and it was about 1 1/2 hrs. Lisa is very communicative and easy to work with. We had a great stay.

Disappointed

The outside view and area was beautiful but the house/cabin was not. It seemed very neglected. Missing remotes, clocks with dead batteries, old musty smell, no full length mirror, dryer doesn’t work well. Main bathroom was gross. Beds were comfortable though, but would not stay there again or recommend it.

Poor condition

Overall this property was in poor condition and not clean. Many things are broken and have been for a long time such as grill, ice maker, laundary door, linoleum, heaters, knives, cieling fans, fire place flue, vacuum cleaner. There are no cleaning supplies and on and on and on. There is no trash pick up and no place to store it so frequent trips to the recycling center, 24 miles round trip. No fire wood either. Owners did try to make amends but we rented for a month and left 5 days early.

Pictures NOT accurate

The location was beautiful, but property is not maintained. It’s old, tired and dirty. Smelled musty. Practically falling down. There was food debris on counter chairs, dining chairs and cabinets. We were asked to take our garbage with us. We did not. Asked to start the laundry and there was no detergent. When we got there the “owner’s manual “ had paper taped to the TV section telling you no direct tv, use your own phone for a hot spot and stream your own subscriptions. Baseboard heaters were literally falling apart. Grill was too dirty and greasy to use. And parking was really difficult. I hate to trash a home, this was truly poorly maintained.
