Charmingly Peaceful Weekend Getaway

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at Joe’s beautiful mountain home for the weekend. From the sun lit windows to the spotless kitchen and spacious bedrooms, our expectations were exceeded from the moment we stepped foot inside. The property boasted beautiful decks outside that provided the perfect view to admire the fall foliage as well as reconnect with nature and enjoy the crisp fall air. Downstairs, kids and adults alike were able to enjoy the two game rooms that featured shuffle board, foosball, pool, poker, arcade games, and more. This house truly had something for everyone. We came in hopes of having a peaceful staycation in the scenic Highlands and were given exactly like that and more. Joe was communicative and considerate in all aspects of our stay and went above and beyond to ensure we had nothing but the best experience at his home. Ever since visiting this property we are already looking for dates to come back and can’t recommend this tucked away haven enough to anyone interested in exploring the Highlands.

Another wonderful stay

This is our fourth time here and every time gets better. The linens and towels are always spotless and of the highest quality, and new state of the art pans were added to the already very well stocked kitchen. Hurricane Helene impacted the area prior to our arrival, but the host let us know in detail that we could expect no issues and there were none. Another wonderful set of memories for our family.

This is our third time at this property, and it is our favorite rental spot in highlands. The views are lovely and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We like to hike Whiteside which is right down the road, and we like to pop into Cashiers and Highlands so being directly between the two is perfect. Property is always clean and comfortable and easy to get in and out. We will absolutely be back soon!

Perfect in every way!

We had a weekend girls’ getaway for my sister’s 40th birthday, and our accommodations couldn’t have been more perfect! Everything was wonderful — the kitchen, porches, bedding, and bathrooms! Having traveled a lot and stayed in multiple house rentals in Highlands and hotels including the Old Edwards Inn and Cottages at Julep Farm, I can definitely say I felt most at home this trip! Joe was always a delight to talk to, and you can tell they really care about this place. Will definitely be back!! Thank you, Joe, for sharing your lovely home. It was definitely hard to leave!!

Excellent house!

We stayed at this house for the Highlands Motoring Festival. It was the perfect house for us. What we really appreciated was how clean, specious and well appointed this home was. It was very modern feeling, light and airy, and had everything we needed. The main floor has two king bedrooms, and one with twin beds. The finished basement has another bedroom with two double beds. The weather was perfect for sitting outside on the decks at night. We appreciated the flat driveway and the ability to park in the garage since we had 3 Ferraris with us that are tough to manage in the mountains. The only issue was the location was a solid 15 minute drive to downtown Highlands. We didn’t mind because we had a designated driver, but if you’re drinking or not comfortable driving at night on dark, winding mountain roads, this might be a bit tricky for you. But the house is perfect and being in a gated neighborhood was also a plus. We would rent again. Thank you!

Great, spacious, well renovated home

This house is great for a large group or family. The kitchen is very nice and the entire house has been renovated. There are good views. The house is a short 0.7 mile walk from the Whiteside Mountain trailhead. Which is itself a 2.0 mile hike. So that is nice to do without having to get in the car. The house is quiet and secluded. I would note that it is at least a 15 minute drive through winding roads to get to Highlands or anywhere else.

Short Escape from Parenthood

When the time arrived to go on this trip, we were in such dire need of time away from home, and this home away from home delivered on our escape! Very well appointed home, interior amenities were all new-car-smell fresh and clean, and the location in Highlands just a few minutes outside of town could not have been much more convenient. Beautiful quiet neighborhood, incredible view, that lovely Highlands elevation, and to top it off our host, Joe, was very responsive and intent on providing a pleasant stay. I got the feeling that he would go a long way to making us happy if we’d needed it. We got our moneys worth on this one! Hope to be back sooner than later.

Merry Christmas to Us!

My family stayed at this property over Christmas and it was simply incredible. We came from the east coast and out west and the property was equally tranquil and relaxing for both. The sweeping views from almost every vantage point, comfortable furniture and amenities made this a place none of us wanted to leave. It’s renovated perfectly making the chefs kitchen a treat for cooking in and entertaining. We renovate homes for a living so are definitely a critical eye without meaning to be. There is not one single thing we would have done different ourselves and the quality is impeccable. Its well appointed and feels elegant and high end, but perfectly comfortable to put your feet up and relax. The bathrooms felt spa like, the beds and bedding felt like vacation and the memories we made there sitting by a fire watching moving and playing games will last a lifetime. I recommend this property to anyone who wants to check out, get relaxed and leave happy!!!

Cheers to the mountains!

Our family had the best time visiting Cashiers for the week between Xmas & NYE! Every night my 5 year old would toast at dinner with a "Cheers to the mountains!"--we didn't want to leave. Joe was a fantastic, communicative host and the house was perfect. Beautiful windows with lots of light, quick access to hiking trails, and my kids lived for all the games and open space. Every morning we saw a family of deer wander through the property, and each afternoon the 5 year old took all our money in Monopoly. Great meals in the kitchen, stunning views, easy trip to town. All around terrific spot, thank you Joe for sharing your home with us! I can't say enough good things.

This house is perfect for large families or anyone looking to relax in the mountains. It's beautiful inside and out, with an incredible mossy front yard and a great view of the mountains. There are plenty of spaces in the house to hang out, including two game rooms in the basement. It's also located just close enough to Highlands to make it easy to get in town, while being far enough up the mountains to provide quiet relaxation. It was our first time visiting the Highlands and we'll definitely be back.

AMAZING home and experience! Look no further!

We were so lucky to find this amazing home! We procrastinated on planning our Highlands, NC Christmas trip and I'm so glad we did because this gorgeous, updated home had just been listed to start renting! We were a little nervous because there wasn't a lot of reviews since it was a new property, but the property manager/owner (Joe) was so nice and accommodating. There were so many nice comforts and perks of this house... I am a stickler about nice bedding and comfortable mattresses - the beds, pillows, sheets and comforters were SO nice - nice down pillows, comforters, etc. This home has been recently updated and you can tell! The nice, contemporary finishes make it have a magazine-ish mountain modern feel. The reclining sofas in the living room were CLUTCH - we had 3 couples and a few kids and it was so nice to be able to comfortably all lay down in the living room together and watch movies. There is a cozy fireplace between the living room and kitchen that was perfect to sit by and have a few drinks, do a puzzle and hangout with whoever was cooking up dinner. The kitchen had nice appliances and was equipped with everything we needed - from dishes, pots/pans (we cooked in!) to spices that we could use. The downstairs is a great little hidden getaway, especially if you have a mix of adults and kids, as a place to hang out and have a few drinks away from sleeping kids that you could potentially wake up. Perfect layout for a family! We will be back - hopefully sooner than later!
