Highly recommend!!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful mountain home in Highlands, NC! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and welcoming experience. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked—not just with the basics, but with thoughtful extras like paper towels, spices, cooking supplies and even a bottle of Chardonnay!The home itself was spotless, with spacious bedrooms and a great layout. Having a private bedroom and bath on each floor was perfect for our group, and the two living spaces made it easy for everyone to spread out and relax. The beds were super comfortable, and the porches on both levels were a fantastic touch—ideal for enjoying the peaceful mountain views, especially in warmer weather.Communication with the hosts was seamless, and they even checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Checkout requirements were minimal which was nice! If we had to be really picky, the lower-level tub/shower is quite deep—something to keep in mind for those with mobility concerns. But honestly, that’s just nitpicking.Overall, this was a fantastic rental, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Charming and spacious cabin in amazing location
This cabin makes for the perfect getaway with each bed and bath on its own floor, it’s the perfect place to book for family and/or friends. The cabin is in a fantastic location right in between highlands and cashiers and within minutes to Whiteside Mountain where you can beat the crowd for a morning hike. Caitlan and Michael were wonderful hosts who provided incredible recommendations. I highly recommend schooling to book your mountain getaway here and will look forward to future stays here!

Wonderful house, terrific hosts
We were looking for a 3 bedroom house with open decks, privacy, beautiful setting, hot tub, ample space, midway between Highlands and Cashiers, with "Premier Hosts" and we found it all! Spotless. Well appointed. Super friendly and helpful owners. Lush natural landscaping. It was everything we hoped it would be. No need for us to look anywhere else the next time we head that way.

Perfect Spot
As soon as we pulled up to the house, we were in love. The pictures don’t do this home justice. It was the perfect space for our weekend getaway and in such a great location for getting into Highlands. We spent most of our time on the back deck enjoying the views. We’ve already been looking for a weekend when we can come back!
