About this property

Rustic Mtn. Elegance with Views located Btwn Highlands-Cashiers-Lake Glenville!



Rolling Hills Farm is centrally located between Cashiers and Highlands and Lake Glenville, NC! For a truly unique and one of a kind experience this is it-nothing else on the rental market quite like it! Rustic Mountain Elegance best describes this cabin built with scarce reclaimed material is privately situated on a hilltop with over 30+/- acres overlooking a gentle rolling pasture with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains which include Shortoff, Yellow Mountain(One of the tallest mountains in the area), and Whiteside Mountain(one of the oldest mountains of the Appalachian chain) to name a few.

Recent updates include a new kitchen island w/ granite counter top that offers stool seating & plenty space to prepare meals for a large group. Several small appliances including an extra frig have been added along with a new dishwasher and a new convection microwave with air fryer. New air conditioner added to the basement & to the garage apt! New boiler & tankless on demand hot water heaters, upgraded electrical and plumbing are in place along with new outside furniture added as well!

Though large enough to host big family/friend gatherings, it at the same time can be cozy enough for a couple that just wants to get away and enjoy a relaxing time together. Enjoy these spectacular views from a huge wrap around porch with its own fireplace to sit around and roast s'mores , sit under the covered area to soak in the views and feel the cool breezes. This porch is equipped with a nice Weber gas grill and the porch has several tables to have your meals while enjoying the views and breezes. Additionally, there are other porches to choose from with outstanding views as well with a gazebo to rock your cares away.

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home is 12-15 min away from Cashiers and Lake Glenville, and 17-20 min to Highlands, NC. So yes---you are within just a few minutes of everything to enjoy here. That is, if you want to leave the property! This beautifully decorated home comes complete with all linens and accessories needed. We provide a starter kit of bathroom and kitchen accessories like soap, shampoo, tp, garbage bags, coffee filters for regular Mr Coffee maker, and dishwasher soap, but bring your own supplies for larger groups and especially stays over a couple of days. There is also a Keurig for your use. Plenty of sleeping quarters for 18 in beds- (4 kings, 2 queen mattresses(bunk bed), 1 double day bed, 1 full futon, 2 twins, 2 twin trundles, two twin mattresses(youth bunk bed). There is a detached garage apartment that is self contained and private. It is great for the couple or kids who want their own space, complete with King bed, full bathroom, kitchenette, W/D, and balcony with views.

Upon entry of the Main house, you will find the Great Room and dining area. In the beautiful Great Room there is a magnificent wood burning fireplace, a 65 inch flat screen smart TV, and also unbelievable outdoor views from the two story Great Room! There is an exquisite old Irish pub fully stocked with glass ware, refrigerator, and utensils. The pictures don't do it justice!

When you step into the kitchen you will find modern appliances including a stainless steel refrigerator and double oven, new convection microwave with air fryer, but is still housing the old wood burning stove purely for ambiance and storage. New large kitchen island with granite countertop offer stool seating where conversations and fun will be had! A second kitchen island offers even more area for prepping! There is an extra table in here that provides more seating and can be moved as well. The pantry has an extra refrigerator for your use and several small appliances, including kitchen aid mixer, ice maker, blender, hand mixers, cuisinart, crock pot, electric griddle, instant pot, and much more. This kitchen is fully stocked with all the cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans, cookie sheets, plates, bowls, glasses, coffee mugs, and cutting boards so you don't miss anything from home.
Off the kitchen you find the den with flat screen smart TV and wide pane glass to see the view! From here, you go upstairs to another guest bedroom with a king bed-new in spring of ‘22 and a twin bed with a trundle bed (new in '23 ) underneath it. This bedroom comes complete with private bathroom and walk-in closet and spectacular views of Whiteside Mountain, Shortoff Mountain, and the pasture!

Back downstairs off the den is the third guest room which is a very private bedroom. This is one of two primary bedrooms and has a King sized bed and a futon that can be let down to make a full size bed. This room is completely private with a recently remodeled bathroom with lots of closet space. The bathroom has an easy low step in shower for those that prefer this convenience. A new flat screen smart tv has just been added to this room as well. The views out the windows just sets the mood for the whole day!

Off the Great Room up a separate set of stairs you will find the second huge Primary loft bedroom with a King four poster bed and private bathroom with walk in closet. There is also a full day bed with a single trundle underneath. This primary suite is very spacious complete with shelves of books to enjoy while relaxing in an awesome chaise lounge or pair of swivel chairs to enjoy the tremendous views.

Go back all the way down the stairs past the main level there is the walkout basement where there are plenty of windows and French doors to allow the outdoors and light in to brighten the area. There is another flat screened smart TV, conversation area, full bathroom, and laundry room. Included down here are board games, pool table, and foosball table. Horseshoes, badminton/volleyball, corn hole, frisbee golf sets, outdoor ping pong table, bocce ball, spike ball, and various accessories are supplied to be enjoyed right outside the doors! At the bottom of the stairs one can find a large game box with some of these offerings and more. In one of the corners of this room, there is a custom large queen bunk bed, that can be used by kids or adults!
There is a full bath right next to the queen bunk bed. There is a loveseat that can convert to a twin bed as well. This room has a sliding barn door to shut it off from the stairs going up to the foyer and from the small room across the hall that has the youth twin bunk bed on the other side of the stair landing. CAUTION- the youth twin bunk beds are to be used only by small youth! There are extra sheets and towels stored in the basement laundry room.

***There is an adorable renovated 2/1 guest house (804 sq. ft.) that if not booked can be used in conjunction with the main home for an additional cost. It is also listed with VRBO with ID # 1368655. Though the guest house is within walking distance to the main house by walking through the pasture from the main house or driving to it down the driveway, it is very private and can not be seen from the main house at all. It's located right above a small brook which is wonderful to listen to while relaxing on the front porch! It has one bedroom with a king bed and a second bedroom with a queen bed. There are love seats in each bedroom that turn into twin beds. The guest house has its own living room with a smart flat screen t.v., a kitchen, and renovated bathroom. This is the original farm house to the property and is very charming. **Please note the guest house is not part of this rental unless rented separately.*** Also, the barn and back pasture is not part of the rental, not to be used by guests, and not calculated in the acres for use.** There are security cameras at the entrances of the main driveway, barn, back pasture, and about 1/2 way up the main driveway. For the protection of you and the property, at the front door of the main house there is a ring video doorbell and the garage apartment door has a ring video doorbell, and on the main house there is a ring floodlight camera as well that views the driveway and parking area. Obviously, no devices inside the house or in the back outdoor gathering areas, Hunting, shooting of any weapons including guns, bows, etc.. are absolutely not allowed! Fires are only allowed in the great room fireplace and in the deck fireplace, not in any other fireplaces and no bonfires in the yard or pastures!

Rolling Hills Farm is one of the best places to stay in the Highlands/Cashier/Glenville area and offers a truly unique experience compared to other vacation rentals in the area. It’s One of a Kind!!! Plenty of room for everyone in the family, all with their own private quarters; lots of room for the kids to play and roam, minutes from all the activities you want! Golfing-(within 5-10 minutes drive to four beautiful membership golf courses-Mountaintop, Highlands Cove, Glencove, and Trillium), boating, hiking, waterfalls, shopping, and dining of all kinds! With it being so close to all these clubs it makes it a wonderful place to stay for weddings that are near by. It is also very convenient to Old Edward’s Inn, Sawyer Family Farmstead, Half Mile Farm, Trillium, Mountaintop, Highland’s Cove, and Glencove. Please note that events of any kind are NOT allowed and are NOT permitted under house rules. Dogs are allowed for a $250/dog nonrefundable fee.

Mountain Surptise
Planned a 'surprise' 60th Birthday weekend for my wife.....friends and family convening from the SEast. Ice storm from previous few days hampered our ability to use the driveway. Gig was fantastic host as he got all of the guests to the cabin via the back pasture.Property was spacious and accommodating....with spectacular views. For a cold weekend, the indoor & outdoor 'wood-burning' fireplaces were well used. Gig's cabin is great for large (or small) groups....plenty of room for evryone!

Everything about this home is delightful. We bring a family of 12 to 14 up here for a week every summer and every time we leave, we can’t wait to come back. The setting is magical. The home lends itself to conversation, card, games, puzzles, great family, meals, outdoor games, and lots of laughs. We are very grateful to enjoy this property.

Peaceful family retreat
This is a beautiful place to stay. It is an older log cabin that has been updated and nicely furnished with a ton of room for a large group. It is nestled in the mountains on a nice secluded piece of property away from any traffic or tourism. We spent hours some days just enjoying the porch and the view. We definitely plan to return in the future. Highly recommend to anyone considering it.

Ideal
I cannot say enough good things about this property and the whole experience. We returned with our family (ages 3 months-85 years) for "Twixmas" week, having enjoyed it so much in the same timeframe last year. The gathering spaces are conducive to conversation, naps, kids' play, and just gazing out on the 360 degree mountain views. There are plenty of spaces for personal retreat too. It's both cozy and expansive at the same time. The owner, Gig, is a dear dear man, ever responsive and kind. His long family history with the house personalizes every interaction. The house is a series of cabins and barns brought together lovingly by Gig's father over decades; it is an honor to be welcomed into such a shrine. Strongly recommend, any time of year. We hope to see it sometime in summer, when we can add porch sitting and outdoor dining to our pleasures. Truly a gem.

summer visit from our children
We rented this house for our three adult children and their families as we did not have room for them at our mountain home in Cashiers. It was the perfect spot for them with plenty of bedrooms and room to spread out. Everything was well organized in the home and very clean. The grounds are magnificent and a paradise for little ones to run around. Gig was a wonderful host and very communicative!
