Guest will drive up the back driveway (second driveway on the right). Please look for the rep reflector pole, follow the drive up until the road splits, take a right and the house will be the first right, sign in front to direct you. You will see signs directing you to the house with the house numbers on it.

When leaving the house make sure to go down the front driveway directly in front of the house. It is a little steeper than the back driveway that you came up but it is a one-way!

*Make sure you have the location plugged into your GPS. Service can get spotty up there so you will want the map already pulled up. When you get to the house you can connect to the wifi.*

Charming house.
The house was very charming. We had no issues with the cleanliness of the property. The house was decorated beautifully. It was also a nice location. Private & secluded but only a short drive to Highlands!

Great stay in Scaly Mountain
The cabin is well appointed with a great porch. We appreciated the hosts flexibility. Having our name on the board out front made it more relaxing coming in after dark and knowing we'd found the right house. Thank you!

Quaint and quiet
This mountain cabin has been updated and was clean and well stocked on our arrival. Very quiet area and close to family that we were visiting. The driveway is a bit steep so the 4x4 came in handy, but it's the mountains so not unusual for the area. Internet service is a bit spotty and not 'high speed' but again - that's normal for the area. We will look to stay here again for our next visit to the area.

Great place to relax after running around looking at waterfalls and shopping. Kids loved collecting acorns and wrestling on the grass. Owner was accommodating and responsive to any minor issues. Would stay again.

Would love to stay here again!
We not only loved the property and house (perfect outdoor space for our two dogs too), but the host was very kind and responsive. Place is super clean, well equipped and truly a 5-star place. I’d highly recommend this peaceful and cozy getaway.

Exceptional Retreat!
We stayed at this cozy house the weekend before Valentine’s to attend a wedding in Highlands. Everything as described was to a T! Plenty of kitchen supplies for additional people. Attention to detail such as the basket of goodies to make s’mores (unfortunately it was rainy and cold) and other snacks. We loved the coffee bar, too! The porch is so welcoming as you enter the home. I can’t say enough about our stay other than I wish we could’ve stayed longer and the weather had been more cooperative.

A slice of heaven
Everything about this reservation was perfect… from the host and his super personable approach, to the meticulously clean and chic cabin… the snacks, coffee and s’mores added to the atmosphere and experience… also, I must say, location, location, location! It doesn’t get better than this.

SUPER Clean and welcoming
My family of 5 with three young adult boys and our dog, loved our stay at this property. The place was spotless, I mean CRAZY clean. The host had a ton of coffee, creamers and snacks set out for us. Also, plenty of paper towels, dishwasher detergent, and even toilet paper. The owner was super communicative and responded quickly to my messages. Make sure you hit Mud Creek trail to see the waterfall. This place may not have a scenic view, but we enjoyed playing games at the big dining table and the fire pit outside! Great post Christmas get away!!!
