Perfect place - beautiful views

Needed a place close to downtown for our family. We were in town for a family wedding. Wonderfall Cottage was perfect. Morning coffee at the waterfall watching the sun come up over the mountain was so beautiful. Communication with property manager and maintenance guy was easy and timely. The lavender pillow spray was a nice added touch. The town of Highland and Wonderfall Cottage are definitely a hidden gems. Thank you letting us stay.

One hiccup, otherwise a nice stay

PROS: 1) The view from the front porch is beautiful. 2) The waterfall is lovely to listen to from the screened-in porch and master bedroom. 3) The kitchen is nicely updated and well equipped. 4) The house lay-out is nice for a family. It has two bedrooms on one side of the living space and the master on the opposite side. CONS: 1) There is no cell service from this house. My husband and I have two different carriers - Verizon and AT&T and we had no bars with either. For some this might be a positive. 2) The water heater went out overnight and I called the maintenance person listed on the materials we were provided upon check-in. He said he would be out early to mid afternoon. He never showed. After a second call he came midday the following day. Not a huge inconvenience, but we did not get to shower before heading into town for dinner or the following morning. 3) The guest house is tiny and smells moldy. We had contemplated inviting another couple to join us, but glad we did not.

Wonderful House, June 2021

Upon arrival I thought the house was a bit "grimy." We have stayed in mt. homes before, beach bungalows in FL. condos, etc. I washed food off the white kitchen cabinets, washed down the stove as the top and handles were greasy, refrigerator, counter tops. We washed the entry way rugs as they were very soiled. The table top was an embarrassment to serve guests, so I bought an inexpensive table cloth. I found the placemats, but they had dried food and stains on them so I soaked them in dish soap and cleaned them. We cleaned cobwebs from window ceils and the screened porch. The carriage house is not fit for anyone to sleep in which makes it a 3 bedroom house than a 4 bedroom house. The mattress is uncomfortable and creaky, and the dampness and mold odor are very strong. The owners should put in a small dehumidifier and buy a new mattress. So we felt we were overcharged since it was a 3 bedroom not a 4 bedroom house. The guest who had planned to stay in the carriage house only used it for the bathroom. The location is great, and is literally 5 minutes from downtown. The dishes and kitchen equipment were great, the porch lovely, the waterfall exceptional. Nice spacious living room, excellent technology...but the power went out the first night and came back on at 3:00 AM and then went off again a couple of nights later. We finally got thru to the rental agent via text as the house phone didn't work due to the outage and she called the power company for us. She was helpful and offered our money back if we wanted to vacate the premises, but family had already planned vacation time off from work, so we couldn't do that. I don't think clients should have to go in and clean when renting.

A lovely home in a great location

We had a wonderful stay at the 'waterfall' house tucked away in the highlands! The house was clean and exactly as advertised, the waterfall access was a feature that the whole family enjoyed. We appreciated the location that was private while being close to the downtown Highlands area. Would stay here again!

Loved the Waterfall House

The house was beautiful and well appointed. Make sure if you book here you turn on the right when you see the sign for 189 the 185 sign is hidden on the right. It is one way coming in and out but we never encountered another vehicle. Very comfortable and I recommend buying the firewood. So cozy

Great stay at Wonderfall

This quaint Waterfall Cottage sits beside Satulah Falls. Very cool to hear the sound of the Falls while sitting on the porch. The home is a short drive to downtown Highlands. The house itself is very quaint and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped.

Lovely family gathering space

This location was a treasure, and perfect for our weekend anniversary gathering. The front porch has a beautiful Whiteside Mountain view; the path/patio to the waterfall is a wonderful place to relax. The kitchen has all we needed to prepare meals. The "carriage house" is a tight fit for two, but also cozy. The only downside was the house was not as clean as we expected (especially given the higher than average cleaning fee). The living room carpet had lots of pet fur, floors were not very clean, and the cushions in the screened in porch have a lot of stains.
