  • Fabulous - in every way!

    5/5

    We shared this property with another couple for a long weekend, and it was perfect!

    First, I must mention that we had constant airline delays/cancellations that threatened to shorten our trip, and our host was AMAZING throughout the entire ordeal...she literally went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. She was in communication with us until after midnight to ensure we accessed the property safely and successfully.

    Now onto the property - it was LOVELY! It was at the end of a private road and backed up to a pond. The living space was beautiful and inviting and had everything we needed for our stay. For evenings in, the furniture was plentiful and comfortable. The second bedroom was located above a garage but it connected to the main house via a short walkway off the kitchen door. It was literally a few feet from the main house, and it was perfect. It had a comfortable king-sized bed, a TV, a desk (which was very useful when my husband had to take a private work call!), and a casual chair. It was the perfect setup for two separate couples, but it would also work great for families with kids because there was no way to access the second bedroom other than through the main house. If you prefer a two-bathroom house, don't rule this one out since it only has one...it is HUGE with double sinks and so much counter and storage space and we had no issues at all sharing with another couple. There was also a lovely front porch to enjoy the cool mornings and evenings.

    The property is only a few minutes from the fabulous main street area. There are so many shops and wonderful restaurants that you can easily spend the entire day just browsing and enjoying everything from charcuterie-to-go, coffee, wine/beer, and ice cream! We also drove to Lake Toxaway, Brevard, Asheville, and Lake Lure as the Highlands-Cashiers area is in close proximity to so many other beautiful areas of Western NC.

    We are expecting to return to the area in the future and will definitely be booking this property - there's no reason to look elsewhere when you have a perfect property and host!!

    From the Owner: "Kelli, Thank you so much for the lovely comments! I am so glad you finally were able to get to Highlands and rest from the travel trauma, you all went through so much. You were so lovely to deal with even during your stressful flight dilemma, you made hosting easy, and your description of the house and surroundings is so captivating, you might should consider a career in travel, haha. Thanks!!"

  • Great house, Great location

    5/5

    The property was clean and spacious. The host commicated with us upon our arrival and departure. The house is about a 7 minute drive to downtown Highlands. The bathroom was large and had a jacuzzi tub and double sink. My wife and I wish we could have stayed longer than our 3 days. When we go back we would definitely try and rent this house again.
