We love it here

This is our third time at this property, and it is our favorite rental spot in highlands. The views are lovely and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We like to hike Whiteside which is right down the road, and we like to pop into Cashiers and Highlands so being directly between the two is perfect. Property is always clean and comfortable and easy to get in and out. We will absolutely be back soon!

Another wonderful stay

This is our fourth time here and every time gets better. The linens and towels are always spotless and of the highest quality, and new state of the art pans were added to the already very well stocked kitchen. Hurricane Helene impacted the area prior to our arrival, but the host let us know in detail that we could expect no issues and there were none. Another wonderful set of memories for our family.

Perfect in every way!

We had a weekend girls’ getaway for my sister’s 40th birthday, and our accommodations couldn’t have been more perfect! Everything was wonderful — the kitchen, porches, bedding, and bathrooms! Having traveled a lot and stayed in multiple house rentals in Highlands and hotels including the Old Edwards Inn and Cottages at Julep Farm, I can definitely say I felt most at home this trip! Joe was always a delight to talk to, and you can tell they really care about this place. Will definitely be back!! Thank you, Joe, for sharing your lovely home. It was definitely hard to leave!!

Charmingly Peaceful Weekend Getaway

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at Joe’s beautiful mountain home for the weekend. From the sun lit windows to the spotless kitchen and spacious bedrooms, our expectations were exceeded from the moment we stepped foot inside. The property boasted beautiful decks outside that provided the perfect view to admire the fall foliage as well as reconnect with nature and enjoy the crisp fall air. Downstairs, kids and adults alike were able to enjoy the two game rooms that featured shuffle board, foosball, pool, poker, arcade games, and more. This house truly had something for everyone. We came in hopes of having a peaceful staycation in the scenic Highlands and were given exactly like that and more. Joe was communicative and considerate in all aspects of our stay and went above and beyond to ensure we had nothing but the best experience at his home. Ever since visiting this property we are already looking for dates to come back and can’t recommend this tucked away haven enough to anyone interested in exploring the Highlands.

This house was perfect for our family over the Thanksgiving holiday. Kitchen is nicely appointed so we had everything we needed (we did bring a large roasting pan for the turkey). Fabulous location between Highlands and Cashiers. We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this is definitely in the top tier.

Beautiful Home

A couple of my friends and I stayed ten nights, it wasn’t long enough! The home is beautiful and very comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch mornings and evenings. The home was a perfect location between Highlands and Cashiers. Im looking forward to returning soon
