Haven in the Clouds

Whiteside Villa never disappoints. For almost 30 years this has been my family's place to relax and recharge. All the up to date amenities of modern life with the same 30 mile view enjoyed by the original settlers of HIghlands. The best of both worlds and no better place to be on the Plateau.

Awesome as always.

Still delivers a home away from home feeling ... that is, if your home has a 30 mile view and rarely gets above 72 degrees in the heat of summer. My family never gets tired of our time together here. This is the best The Plateau has to offer.

Up in the clouds

This is the 2nd time we’ve rented this property. A truly unique house - both its architecture and setting. This house is situated at one of the highest elevations for a home in the Highlands area and has an extraordinarily expansive view. This property has been very well maintained. We will return.

Never ceases to amaze

Our first visit to Whiteside Villa was when our children were in elementary school. Now in their early 30s, they both make their way back from LA and DC to spend time with us here every year. While the house is updated every year, the spectacular view remains the same. And the memories last forever.

Amazing views at Whiteside Villa!

There is no way that words can describe the views here. You are directly adjacent to Whiteside Mountain and the surrounding views are unsurpassed. Anne is the BEST property manager imaginable. The house is always immaculate and she’s only an email away should you need anything (which we normally don’t). Everything you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation is here. :)

WhiteSide Villa; a MCM Paradise

WhiteSide Villa is a true Mid Century Modern treasure nestled on the Southwestern or “Nose End” of WhiteSide mountain. This perfectly maintained home was designed and constructed to maximize the enjoyment of mountain vistas, as well as, views of the changing valley terrain (a mere 2000 feet below). The serenity and comfort that it has afforded us has made our vacation truly memorable. Anne (our host) has been a true delight; her organization, preparation and resource presentation is incomparable! The Tacchi’s

Indescribable !!!!

There are really no words to summarize an experience in this "wonder home". The views, the vibes, the uniqueness are unsurpassed. I can only recommend you scroll through the photos and multiply that by infinity. You simply cannot capture the overall essence of it all, exterior and interior. And let's talk about Anne, your hostess with the mostest. She makes you feel at home before you ever arrive and all throughout your stay. She goes out of her way to make sure your experience is beyond perfection. And it was! We feel beyond blessed to have stumbled across this magical place and manage to snag a week.

A heavenly vacation

Our family has stayed at Whiteside Villa for many years and each stay is wonderful. Every comfort and detail is seen about by the owners. The house is always immaculate and beautifully furnished. Each time that we leave, we can not imagine that it could be any better. But the owners always surprise us with new updates every year that make it even more perfect. The view from the deck is breathtaking. The house is private and situated on the top of Whiteside Mountain. Just a few steps out of the front door and you will find yourself on the popular Whiteside Mountain hiking trail. The house is conveniently located halfway between Highlands and Cashiers. You will not be disappointed if you choose to vacation at Whiteside Villa. It is truly heavenly.

Rock Stars and Movie Stars continued........

This is our third time staying at Whiteside Villa but certainly not our last. In a prior review I said this is where rock stars and movie stars go to for a retreat. There is really no way to adequately describe this home. Its an architectural gem. The views are simply stunning with long range layered views that are changing constantly. Its located in a private gated enclave with direct access to Whiteside Mountain park which is some of the best hiking in the area hands down. The bathrooms are entirely another story. One with a Jacuzzi tub surrounded by glass for an experience and view few will ever experience. The other a stone grotto floor to ceiling stone shower that is absolutely invigorating as it is beautiful. We travel extensively and have stayed at many fine homes but this is our favorite one hands down. There is an energy in this home that is indescribable but undeniable. Staying here at Whiteside Villa is beyond any expectations. It exceeds them. Anne is a first class host/owner and no attention to detail is overlooked. Its a house that feels like a home the minute you set foot in it. This is not just a retreat or vacation.....its an experience. Thanks Anne for sharing this home.

Paradise Found!

We've come here every year for the last eleven years. Initially we stayed a week, the next year two, then four, and have settled into a regular three week stint. It DOES have the spectacular panoramic mountain view as promised, from which you can see three states. Sunrises and sunsets are incredible. How often do you find a property that has such a clear view that you get beautiful skies twice a day? Last year an extended deck with new furniture was added; my sister took a pillow and a fleece blanket outside and spent the day. I thought she'd never leave! This house is solidly constructed, extremely comfortable, quiet and private. It has all the amenities of home (washer-dryer, A/C, cable, internet) and is smartly set up in case you have guests (two hot water heaters, no cold showers.) The shower in the master bathroom is enormous and solid stone, and the tub in the other upstairs bath is set into the floor, making it a great place to take a long sunset soak with a glass of wine. We've been there in good weather and in bad, and the mountain is magical no matter what is happening outside. I love the fact that this was built as a home, not as a rental, so you will find small family touches. Geographically speaking, this house is squarely between Highland and Cashiers, making it equally easy to get to one or the other for shopping, dining, or for recreation. We consider ourselves lucky to have happened upon the house website in 2000. You'll just have to trust me when I tell you this is a special place.

Outstanding mountain views

If you’re looking for incredible long-range mountain views then you definitely will want to stay at Whiteside Villa. This is the most unique house on the side of the mountain with a direct close up view of Whiteside Mountain. Anne is the most superb host! The house is always incredibly clean and well maintained. She takes great pride in doing upgrades in the house every year. I can’t say enough about this wonderful property. :).

It's my 24th year here. Each year there are thoughtful improvements in the house. Comfortable, quiet, solid. My kind of fancy. Built with a vision and maintained to the same level. Comfy beds, very cool bathrooms. Big TVs. The view outside is phenomenal. Stop trying other houses and stay here. You won't regret it. The owner is a dream - communicative, responsive and helpful.
