This is a lovely and well appointed home. It has a great location almost half way between Highlands and Cashiers. We enjoyed the comfortable screened in porch, hot tub, and back deck rocking chairs with great view. The bath next to each bedroom was a plus!!I highly recommend this property.

We loved staying at this lovely mountain home. It ended up just being two of us, but we chose it for the beautiful view and porches and the proximity to both Highlands and Cashiers. We hope to return and bring our 2 grown kids and their partners. It will be ideal, with what are essentially 3 master bedrooms with baths on 3 levels. The house is so well-stocked and comfortable. We so look forward to returning.

Excellent location in a great mountain community. Very peaceful and friendly neighbors met while hiking the mountain. House was fully stocked and appreciated the Swifer! I usually travel with mine since we bring our Labrador retriever. Glad we could bring her! As a matter of fact, she didn't want to leave!Screened in dining area was a plus and hot tub area also screened in to be bug free. Open deck very nice for star gazing with nice view of the mountain.Michael and Caitlan very responsive to any questions or concerns.
