Beautiful Comfortable House, Inside and Out
Our extended family of 5 adults and 6 kids/teens had a wonderful time staying at Shortoff Mountain View. The house was so nice inside and out, thoughtfully and comfortably appointed and decorated. I would definitely stay there again. We absolutely loved exploring the property, finding the Spirit Tree and feeding the fish. It was the perfect place in every way to make memories as a family. It was also really nice being so close to Highlands.

Shortoff Mountain
this was a beautiful house with a wonderful setting and view. It was a short drive down a gravel road but it never rained that much so the drive was ok. The trout pond was nice for the kids and the accomadations were top notch! The only inconvienence was that fact that we couldn't use the firewood that was on sight. We went to the grocery store and bought some wood of our own. We didn't use much. If this rental could be any better is would be to let renters use the available firewood. It would make easier and this is a small added feature that would match the awesomess of this house. Overall it was great!

Wonderful week in Highlands!
My extended family gets together in the NC mountains every summer and this year was in Highlands. The home was beautiful, just as advertised and had plenty of space for us to spread out but wonderful spaces where we could be together. Our favorite parts of the home were the kitchen, the screened in porch with folding doors, the adorable trout pond and the serene surroundings. Would definitely return to this property if back in Highlands.

Wonderful long weekend in Highlands
The pictures do not do this property justice. The house was spectacular, and the setting was really special. Our boys loved fishing in the private pond each day. House location was extremely convenient, situated between highlands and Cashiers. This is our fourth year in a row renting in the area and this trip superseded the rest. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year!

Just Breathe
Amazing property and home. The view was stunning and the house was well stocked and beautifully decorated. The property manager took great care of us when we ran into issues. (No heat- the gas company was prompt as the freezing weather depleted the tanks sooner than the scheduled refill). The house thankfully had areas that ran on electricity as well so we could stay warm until the issue was resolved. This was promptly taken care of by Alicen.
It was a fabulous girls getaway and the home is close to downtown Highlands if you want to venture out. All the girls said they would come back to this property in an instant.

Beautiful home in the mountains!
We had a wonderful weekend here! The house was in immaculate condition, the view was amazing, and the beds were extremely comfortable! The house is just a short ride into downtown Highlands so very convenient in terms of location. I would absolutely stay here again!
