The cabin is in a quiet and secluded area in a great location to enjoy everything in the Highlands-Cashiers area. The cabin is new, beautiful and cozy with attractive furnishings and decor and a nice kitchen. Our favorite part of the cabin was the hot tub, which we enjoyed each night we were there. Curt and Renata, the hosts, were great to work with and were very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this property. ##### Keith S.

We had the most wonderful stay at this home for the 4th of July holiday. The home was perfect for our family of 4\. It is wonderfully equipped with everything needed and the amenities (outside fire pit with firewood, indoor fireplace, hot tub, etc) are fantastic. The neighborhood is off the beaten path and I enjoyed walking the nearby woods. Yet still a quick drive to town in Highlands. The host was wonderful and responsive. Possibly our favorite Highlands home in all our years going. ##### Helen R. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly J.

Convenient to hiking trails, shopping and restaurants.. Very attractive too! We had a little bit of trouble checking in, as the lockbox was not working but we were able to reach the owners by phone. It would have been nicer to have the lights on when we got there, since we arrived after dark. ##### Kelly J. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isabella M. Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! Overall, it was a great stay! Beautiful house and scenery, feels remote, but is only a few min from downtown highlands. Lots of privacy. Our only problem with the property is that the road to it is gravel and has some potholes and the driveway is super steep. An SUV would probably be fine, but I drive a Hyundai Elantra and it got a bit tossed around and a little trouble getting in and out, I would definitely recommend driving a car with a little bit higher clearance to this property. ##### Isabella M.

This cottage was in the most perfect location for us to get to Highlands and Cashiers and all the nearby hiking trails we wanted to hit. Its wooded setting provided us with complete quiet (I don't think I've ever heard such quiet!) and privacy while still being able to hop in the car and get to where we wanted to go. The covered back porch was the most relaxing spot for coffee and reading in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. We grilled every night for dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. Hot tub is perfect and clean! Fire pit is great with comfortable chairs and corn hole in the yard! Highly recommend for a couples getaway or a family with 2 kids. We would love to come back! ##### Shelley N. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### doug P.
