It is not an exaggeration to say that it's probably the nicest property that we have ever rented. We have traveled extensively over the years, but this property checked all of the boxes. Incredible views, extremely comfortable, well stocked, and decorated beautifully. Although the wedding was perfect, we really had a hard time leaving the house. We are already making plans to visit the area again at some point and hope to stay at the same place if it's available. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fcb45cd-39db-44d4-b95e-614337e39d85-1748380986284.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael D.

The property is immaculate, has great views, is perfect for families, and has very nice amenities including the hot tub and fire place, which we used every day. This side of the mountains is slower paced but that was perfect for us as there is still plenty to do and the area isn't overdeveloped with cheesy tourist stuff. We had a very minor issue with the door code at check in and the host was super responsive and very nice. 10/10 would recommend this place. ##### Christina M.

It was great! The views in the morning and evening were really amazing. Everything was in great working order and we had no issues. Taking your recycling to the recycle place was a little weird, but it was so easy. No waiting and everyone was super nice. ##### Andrew L. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanne H. Jul 5, 2018 #### Luxurious and spacious retreat This was a truly wonderful home, with the owner's attention to every detail apparent. It was a luxurious vacation spot high atop a mountain. The gardens, furnishings, and linens were all superior. Each bedroom had its own well appointed bath. Watching the mist rise over the mountains in the mornings, and the sun set in the evenings was magical. Several comfortable porches, a self-cleaning hot tub and a large porch swing on the upper level were among the highlights. We would recommend this little slice of Heaven to those who know how to appreciate and care for special places. ##### Susanne H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S.

The entire property is stunning, inside and out. Anything you could possibly need is available, from kitchen appliances to games to movies. We loved spending time here. The home is immaculate! Any minor issues we had were addressed perfectly and quickly. We can't say enough great things about this home. It is very secure, we felt incredibly safe. The views are unbeatable from every single window. It was very sad to leave, but we hope to return again soon! ##### Jill S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela B.

She made our anniversary trip so special in many ways. You don't feel like you are in a rental -- you feel like you are her personal house guest. No matter which way you turn, the views from any side of the home are stunning. And the home itself is stunning. What more is there to say that hasn't been said in past reviews? It is all true!

The house is stunning. Extremely well appointed; every bed is comfortable with fine linens and towels. The kitchen has every gadget and a professional style gas stove. So many decorative touches - you don't want to leave. However, if you do, like we did - the local towns and hikes are fantastic. The location is private and quiet - the house is easily accessible from car to front door, making groceries and luggage easy to manage. Layers of security including gates and alarms add a level of safety unparalleled. I can't say enough about the house - you won't be disappointed. ##### cindy w.

They flew into Atlanta and we hosted them at Buttercup Haven from Tuesday to Friday. The drive up from Atlanta is easy, Franklin NC has plenty to do and Buttercup Haven lived up to expectations. The house is well situated to take in the wonderful views. The house was immaculate, well furnished, and had everything needed for cooking and enjoying the meals al fresco. There is lovely dining table as well but the weather was perfect for being out of doors and Buttercup Haven has beautiful and comfortable outdoor spaces. We could not have been happier with Buttercup Haven. Great fun, good times, we look forward to returning. ##### James W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane S.

High on top of a mountain ridge overlooking city lights at night. The house was clean, the décor was beautiful, the kitchen was fully stocked with appliances, cookware, dishes, utensils, etc. We had everything necessary and more! Margaret was such a great hostess to interact with. Timely responses on emails and phone conversations. This is truly a gem! My friends and I all agreed that we would rebook this house.

Dec 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow. Just wow! When I booked the cabin for an extended family Christmas, I figured we would have to do without a tree. I was wrong. Not only did the owner have a magnificent decorated tree in the living room, but almost every room of the house had little moments of Christmas on display. Then time and effort spent on decorating, made it feel like Christmas and made our family get together special. Not only did the owner decorate, she went out of her way to ensure that we could get packages delivered and was very responsive to questions we had to prepare for an extended family Christmas. As beautiful as it was with the decorations, I think the cabin will be equally as lovely once the holidays are over. The decor is so well done and the design is perfect for small or large gatherings. We had 4 couples and each had a room with their own en suite. There was also a half bath. The hot tub had a great view and the decks wrapped around the house so you could watch the sunrise and/or sunset. Since it was cold, we opted to watch the beautiful sis sets from the living room which offered fantastic views. We have stayed at many vrbos over the years and this cabin had the best kitchen we have ever seen. The. Best. We made large meals for the extended family and the kitchen had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with serving platters etc. There was a game area upstairs, but also a space downstairs to play. The cabin is close to Highlands, Cashiers and less than an hour from Asheville. Regardless of the season or your reason for going, is a well designed cabin with a thoughtful and responsive owner. We can’t say enough good things and will definitely be back. ##### Nichol B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert D.

We take trips to the mountains as a group every year (3 couples / 6 adults). We have stayed at various properties across western NC, eastern TN, and north GA. This one was far the best yet! Proximity to various towns, hikes, etc and the amenities were amazing. We actually cut our day out on Saturday a bit short because everyone wanted to return to the house and enjoy the views.

Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Breathtaking views of the mountains from 4 different comfortable porches perfect for gathering and sipping cocktails. Directions and check in were easy and well laid out. Would definitely rebook this property. ##### Kathleen L. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda B.

This home is decorated with much thought and great taste. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine for cooking better than any home I’ve vacationed in before. All the light switches are labeled which was very helpful. Beautiful vacation home. ##### Linda B. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim H.

There are 5 of us between the ages of 63 and 85, (this year) who have traveled annually for many years. Buttercup Haven was our best house yet. We had fantastic beds and bathrooms, great kitchen with everything one needs, outdoor seating for the full experience of the porches. And on and on…Franklin was close for groceries, the trash dump or gas. Margaret communicated well and even had a booklet with all information needed. Thanks so much for your lovely house! ##### Kim H.
