Exactly what we were looking for

Very cool old house in a perfect location! Loved the waterfall, especially listening to it from the porch. There is a ton of good hiking nearby. We had visits from hummingbirds, lightning bugs, and a (smallish) black bear. Thanks for providing the home base for our vacation!

Perfect cabin

This place is awesome. It’s a real cabin, which is hard to find around Highlands these days. The location and the cabin itself help you feel even more in the mountains, rather than removed from them. The waterfall is gorgeous — the owners undersell it if anything! We are already talking about a return trip

Relaxing Stay!

My sisters and I spent a weekend here while attending a wedding in Highlands. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful spot. It was so relaxing to listen to the waterfall and take walks in the woods. The cabin was very comfortable. We all agreed it was like going to our grandmother's home. The cabin was well stocked and had a large assortment of board games. The only things we needed to bring were groceries and a good book! I would love to go back for a longer stay.

Cold home great location

Jennifer was great communicating and let us come in early (we did not make it till 4 anyway). When we got there NO heat. Was told there was space heaters--2 for entire house plus 2 more decorative things that gave little heat. Fireplace was great but needed much more wood. Instead of being concerned over my elderly aunt walking down to the waterfall should be concerned over cold house and no heat al all in either bathroom! Speaking of the waterfall--if you have great eyesight (which my 90 year old aunt no longer has) you can a TINY white spot from the porch. You can hear it well. Nice updated kitchen. Granddad did a wonderful job on his home.

Private and cozy

Wonderfly rustic and very private. You can just see the top of the small waterfall from the patio. The host was very gracious and promptly dealt with a plumbing issue we had on arrival. She seemed more bothered by it than we were but it was fixed first thing in the morning. My daughter and son-in-law loved it as well and we plan on returning.
