The property was wonderful! We really enjoyed our stay. It was a very peaceful stay.... just why you come to the mountains! The property owner was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We were in town for a wedding at Flat Mountain Farms. From the house, we could actually walk to the venue! It is a short distance (less than 10 minutes) to the downtown part of Highlands also. The location was both peaceful and convenient! Wish we could have stayed longer!
Wonderful and cozy home tucked away in the woods within 5 minutes drive of Highlands. It was outfitted with every possible convenience including a well appointed kitchen, and a living room fireplace with lots of firewood. The host was immediatey responsive by email and text after the passage of a major storm. She was able to quicky send someone to clear the driveway of fallen debris. This is perfect for a family or group of friends visiting Highlands!
This cabin is lovely! If you’re looking for a getaway in the Highlands that’s convenient to town but feels like home, this is for you! The cabin is very cute - well decorated, lovely setting near a creek surrounded by beautiful plants, good amount of space and comfortable beds with nice bedding. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. There are plenty of fans and you can open windows so no air conditioning is not an issue. The house is not in town but a quick drive. There’s ample parking. We greatly enjoyed feeding the birds, playing board games and sitting out on the deck to enjoy the sounds of nearby creek. We attended a wedding at Flat Mountain Farm and this cabin could not have been more convenient!
Four generations of our family enjoyed this lovely property for the 4th. My 4 year old grandson was in Heaven. We all enjoyed the outdoor space. It was convenient to town but tucked away and private. The kitchen was perfect to prepare family meals and plenty of seating. We enjoyed feeding the birds while having our coffee every morning. Definitely one of our favorite properties.
This is a wonderful home. Close to Highlands center but just far away enough to feel remote. Big lot on a small quiet road with only 4 or so houses on the road. I've owned a home in Highlands in the past and I felt right at home in this comfortable and well decorated space. Nice outdoor living spaces, front porch and back deck. There were 4 of us, so the the 3 full baths really made a difference. The owner was very friendly and responded to our questions immediately. Will definitely book this one again!!!!
We had a family wedding at Flat Mountain Farm which is an incredible venue. This property is adjacent, so the location was perfect. This home is so beautiful and tranquil. Beautiful accommodations. Can't say enough how thankful we were to find this place. Definitely 5 star
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful property and ! Kids had a blast exploring! Definitely will rent again! Also the green egg made us a wonderful turkey!
We attended a wedding at Flat Mountain Farm and could have walked there from this property. Our stay was amazing! The house was so cozy and comfortable. The outside was so beautiful! I loved the birdhouses on the patio! We highly recommend this property. So wonderful!
From the moment you walk in you feel right at home. An amazing location, easy to get to both Highlands and Cashier in a short drive. The property itself looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale with beautiful lush gardens and streams. Complete privacy, not a neighbor was seen. The house itself is the perfect cozy cabin. Rain on the tin roof and cool mountain air will guarantee you return home refreshed. Blankets, board games, books. These hosts have thought of it all. My kids are 8 and 10 and I felt perfectly safe with them on the loft area. Younger kids might need more supervising, if you are into that kind of thing on vacay.
This was our first trip to Highlands which was absolutely beautiful. The cabin was in a pretty, secluded setting. It was tastefully decorated offering a warm, cozy feel. We loved all the interesting art and pottery on display.
We cooked a lot and appreciated how well equipped and stocked the kitchen was.
We would love to return to this beautiful cabin and would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.
This house is a gem! The property is magical and our boys (2.5 and 5.5) had a blast. The creek and flat yard area were perfect for playing and exploring. We roasted marshmallows at night and enjoyed watching the birds on the back deck at dinner. We also enjoyed playing in Big Creek right down the road and going to town (just a short 8 min drive away). We can’t wait to come back!
We had an awesome stay with our two small children. The house had the perfect amount of space for the family and we loved how close it was to so many falls, hikes and town. Will be back!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The authentic log cabin was more than I could have imagine. A charming place to be with children and grandchildren….indoors and outdoors. Definitely want to return.
Great layout for 2 families. Beds were super comfy. Perfect distance from town with the feel of being secluded. Landscape was gorgeous and everything was really clean.
We had a wonderful time. The house was clean, the furniture was super comfortable, the property was gorgeous and we were right outside town. We will be staying here again!
