It was an amazing combination of rustic and modern convenience. The kid's had a blast downstairs and oh that tire swing! The deck was perfect, the door from the master leading to the covered porch, chef's kiss. Hopefully it's available when we book for next year. Close to Franklin, Highland's and Cashier's! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Overall the property was amazing. The location is difficult to get to with a car so be warned about that. The matress in the king bedroom needs to be replaced. Otherwise a great stay.

Fantastic!

The cabin itself is fantastic. Soaring ceiling in the kitchen and living room area. Wonderful decks with beautiful views. The sound of the bubbling brook running through the property is great! Our family of 6, plus a friend had the best time and made wonderful memories. Nearby Franklin and Highlands have great little shopping areas and we saw a couple of incredible waterfalls that really made the trip (Dry Falls and Cullasaja).

We were very happy with Buck Falls Cabin. The home is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. I would suggest new listing photos as the current photos don’t do the home justice. Thank you Sally.

Family get together

This place is ideal for a family get together or reunion. There were eight adults and two children, and we had plenty of room to move around in and avoid each other if we wanted to there’s lots of deck space and outdoor. The only thing I would we would’ve liked is for the grocery store to be a little bit closer so be sure you have everything you need because it’s quite a drive to go pick something up if you forget it

Highlands Hideaway

We so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful mountain retreat near Highlands, NC. The deck and screened-porch are spectacular with beautiful wooded views. The living area has plenty of room for a large family, and we loved the downstairs rec room, which had a pool table and an arcade console with class games like Space Invaders and Pac Man! The bedrooms were quite spacious, and the master opens out onto the screened porch. The only drawback would be the steep and winding gravelled road leading up to the house, but you soon get used to it! A great property for anyone wishing to enjoy all the Highlands has to offer.

Lovely Home

We had 5 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog on this trip. The home was easy to find and had plenty of room. The inside has 2 floors and a loft giving us all room to spread out and outside there were 2 decks (one screened and one open - along with an area with swings and another fire pit by the creek). There were lots to do for entertainment (pool, frogger, card table, movie room etc). Upstairs they have a screened in porch with a table/chairs for eating outside and then rocking chairs to use while drinking coffee and listening to the creek and nature. We had the best time. Lots of love and laughter. We also enjoyed painting at the smaller table with good light streaming in from the outside. It was close to waterfalls to drive to visit and between Franklin and Highlands (both good places to shop and find something good to eat). Staying at this home felt like you were living among the trees (like a treehouse). We will definitely plan to go there again.

Nice retreat

We rented this cabin to spend New Years and it was lovely, it was a great to be apart from the city and experience nature. We didn't spot much wildlife, but we did go to a lake and a waterfall that is a short drive away. The house itself it big, and all rooms were enough for us 8.

Perfect family getaway!

We were more than pleasantly satisfied with all accomodations, cleanliness, and ease of booking. We had four wonderful days with family away from the hussle and bussle of our very busy lives. We cooked and baked in the wonderfully stocked kitchen and enjoyed all areas of the cabin...we were happy to stay in the entire time. The extra basement frig was good for additional food/beverages for our group of 8. The mattresses allowed for a good night's sleep, but not the best quality. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely book again...thinking about next year already!

The Hammock Will Bring You Back

We had the best time and it was just what we needed for our Christmas holiday. They even had a tree for us to decorate. The spiral staircase takes a little getting used to, but you can also walk around outside to get to the bottom floor. The absolute best, though, was napping in the hammock listening to the little creek. We all wished we had another day and we will definitely be back if they’ll have us!

Life long friends mountain visit

The cabin was fantastic. It was equipped with all necessary items and more. Plenty of room for our group and a very peaceful area. We have been coming to this are for 40+ years camping but because of age we no longer desire to sleep in tents on air mattress. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits.

Homey but needed cleaning

Was surprised how filthy the screened deck was, I have photos. Took me 2 hours to clean this area and another hour for the deck. Baseboards, lamps furniture dusty, no toilet paper except on roll, main bath maybe had 30 sheets. Fire pit filled w beer cans and bottles, gliders falling apart. Makes me wonder how old the VRBO photos are. Hard to regulate air, would go off during the night. Lots of junk around outside. If you went to a hotel you expect a clean area totally. Not so w this cabin. Too bad, it would have been better if they had someone come over and inspect it's condition and client readiness. Sorry 😞
