Perfect For Our Family

We loved everything about the house. Our family of 13 enjoyed the home and the surrounding area. We found this home at the last minute because of a previous reservation that had to be canceled in the Boone, North Carolina area. We were so pleased with this home that we would definitely consider renting it in the future. The house is actually so much better than the pictures portray it

Perfect Home For A Wedding Weekend

My friends and I attended a wedding and this cabin was perfect for all of the couples and single guests to stay in. It was very clean. The place was larger than expected from the pictures so we were pleasantly surprised. We were grateful for the early check! The hot tub with a view was another added bonus!

Great place to stay for a large group

Very nice place and very clean. The only problem is it stayed cold downstairs…about 63 degrees. The upstairs thermostat did not seem to control it, as I was told.

Lots of room, but tired

Pros: 1-close to town 2- very clean 3- modern bathrooms 4- comfortable beds 5-lots of space and privacy for multiple families 6-real estate company very reponsive and friendly 7-well equipped kitchen Cons: 1- furnishings are run down (kitchen cabinet door fell off, couldn't pull out trash can in kitchen cabinet) 2-porch cushions are old and ratty and there isn't enough seating out there 3-house doesn't have a view. It is in the woods surrounded by trees... nice and private, but you can't really see the mountains. Maybe in the winter? 4-ZERO wifi. It's not that it is slow, it does NOT exist. The IT guy came out and told us the way this house is wired it will always be a problem. We still had a great time. Could be a great home with some TLC.

True Southern Hospitality

The management company was very quick in response and helped with recourses that we wanted. They allowed me in early to prepare before the guests arrived. When the guests left some items were left behind so they contacted us to see how we would like to handle said items. Very friendly and eager to accommodate.

House was perfect for my husband’s 40th. Slept 14 adults comfortably and had great living/communal space. I would recommend it if you want something spacious close to town!

Great weekend! Would go again!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at BlackBerry lane! Beautiful home with a fantastic view, amazing screened porch, large open common area with large dining room table, and downstairs game room for kids to play in! We loved that it was convenient to the towns of Highlands and Cashiers and really enjoyed the coffee shops and boutiques in both towns! The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived and the staff was easy to communicate with us and gave clear check-in and check-out instructions. Thanks for a great trip and Happy New Year!

Great house and location

We had a fabulous stay in highlands exploring local water falls, swimming holes, visiting the town, renting a boat on lake glenville and even going tubing on deep creek in Bryson city. The location was great, a few minutes to highlands and 15 min to Cashiers. We traveled with 3 families and we all fit comfortably in BlackBerry. Definitely recommend.

We had a great 3 generation family vacation.

We had a great 3 generation family vacation. We found something for everyone- from zip lining at Highland Aerial Park to shopping in Highlands to visiting Cashiers to hiking Yellow Mountain and the Bartram trail. The BlackBerry fit our needs for a family of 11. Everyone had room to gather- and room to separate. We especially enjoyed hanging out on the screened porch and being able to all sit together for meals at the massive dining table. We were having trouble finding a house that matched our needs. Alicen recommended the Blackberry, which wasn’t showing up in our results as we were searching Sat to Sat or Sun to Sun. She asked if we could make it work for Fri to Fri- and voila! Great house for our 3 generation gathering!
