Lovely mountain home. We so enjoyed the hot tub.., very clean. The beds were all comfy, and the updated kitchen was spacious. Lightning could use improvements in all rooms. We were very pleased with the close proximity to activities we were interested in.

Location is close enough to downtown Highlands but feels like you’re further on the mountain. Place was clean but could use a few updated small kitchen appliances. The deck is large & relaxing as you can hear a nearby brook.Living room area very narrow. Tight parking area.

Tree House Deck

Minutes from town, close to Chashier, access to multiple hiking paths with gorgeous views. The house is simple but clean and comfortable. Large deck wraps around half of house and you feel like you are in a tree house. Enjoyed end of day soak in the hot tub.

Perfect home for our needs

Everything was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was very nice. Great location between Highlands and Cashiers. Just far enough off the main road to make it quiet and peaceful, but not too far to feel out of the way.

Great Highlands VRBO!

We enjoyed our stay at Garrard's property in Highlands. The location was excellent. We loved the porch overlooking the woods; unfortunately we didn't have lots of time to spend there. The house could use a little refurbishing, but it had everything we needed!

This location is smack dab in the middle of everything that Highlands and Cashiers has to offer. The host, Garrard, was quick to respond to me and very helpful. Highly recommend this location for a mountain get a way.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway!

My husband and I had an amazing time staying at this home! It had everything we needed, the home was very clean, and the hot tub was a huge plus! Our dogs really enjoyed hanging out on the deck and the background sound of rushing water was so soothing. Thank you so much!
