Enjoy amazing sunset views with the family and kids. Rest easy knowing we are baby friendly with baby gates, a travel crib, and outlet covers.

Awesome home!
We stayed here with our dogs, infant, and mother for a nearby wedding. We didn’t get to use the hot tub but typically that's a huge plus for us! We loved being able to walk down the driveway to a lovely dinner and being able to see the lake was a nice perk. The dogs enjoyed running around the yard and the home was perfect. They even left us little snacks that were very much appreciated after our drive in!

Perfect Stay at Lake Toxaway
We met ours friends from FL for a 3 night getaway as they were up for a local wedding. My husband and I are from Chapel Hill area and we wanted a place that could accommodate all 4 of us and our Chihuahua Henry. John was a great host, checking in with us periodically, etc. We had absolutely no issues. Everything was well stocked, comfortable and convenient. We day tripped to Brevard and Highlands. If you like antiques check out Mantique in Brevard and for coffee try Cup & Saucer. (Luckily we drove our truck so we could buy the big antique grain bin and sailboat weathervane that I loved.) We dined at the Edward’s Inn and shopped in Highlands… loved it! We ate dinner at the Old Station, the food was good and the atmosphere and service were really nice. Our friends had a picnic at Gorges Park and Whitewater Falls. It was another hi-light. We all agreed John’s place was perfect!

Great place for family
This is our first experience renting a house and they really set the bar high. First, I would like to state that, if you have a dog, walk the fence daily to ensure there aren’t any openings for your dog to get out. Ours got out, but we got her back thanks to our Fi collar. Second, this place is amazing! While we were here to visit family, we were still able to enjoy some of the local sites: Oscar Blues Brewery, White Squirrel Arcade, Downtown Brevard, and a few other spots. This house was very clean and has a lot of amenities. The host was amazing and made sure that we were enjoying our time on the property.

One of the best!
I have no complaints. The property was fantastic for a family- plenty of room (and barhroooms!) for everyone, huge dining table for family meals and games, convenient to great hikes, yummy restaurant a walk away but no traffic or noise to bother you at the house. My teen boys loved the wi, I loved early morning coffee on the porch with views of the lake. The host was SO easy to work with and accommodated a date change for us. Would recommend and want to check out his other properties!

Great Mountain getaway!
Really great little cabin in the Lake Toxaway area! Kids loved the hot tub and ping pong table and the owner also provided firewood from the shed during our stay for the outdoor fire pit. Great communication from the owner and the nearby hiking at DuPont, Pisgah, and Gorges can’t be beat! Really good restaurant (Grand Olde Station) right below the property too so can walk to a great meal or drinks. Would definitely recommend!

Great spot
We stayed for a quick weekend at this cabin in Lake Toxaway. We really knew nothing about the area and picked it off the map. My family loved the location as it was close to so many hikes and also other small towns like Sapphire, Cashiers and more. This cabin had everything you could need for your stay. We enjoyed our time and will def be back to the area and even this cabin. Thanks for a great stay.

Poor quality property and surroundings
Description: The access and surroundings of the property are not the best. Here are some details: Very steep gravel driveway, neighbors too close for comfort and behind a busy restaurant. Front door lock inoperable upon arrival.

Lake Toxaway Getaway
Such a lovely stay in late summer. The home was beautiful and we had everything we needed. Keen eyes may spy a white squirrel who lives in a tree nearby - look toward the lake from the fire-it - there's a tree with a knot and you might find them.

Great Lake Toxaway Base
This property is an excellent home base for exploring Lake Toxaway, Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, etc. we stayed a full month and were very pleased with our experience. John is an absolutely fantastic host! Communicative, but not overly so. Very responsive and flexible. He goes above and beyond to make sure the guests have a great experience. The place was clean and well-stocked. We made great use of the ping-pong table in the evenings. The 4-foot fence and the wooded yard are great for smaller dogs. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the property!

Truly a great rental spot
Asa family of 6, we visited this rental over NYE and it was exactly as pictured and described. The trip was planned for a birthday and NYE and with four kids, we needed all of our boxes checked as far as what we were looking for. Everyone had plenty of space, not just in sleeping quarters but also bathrooms and common areas, the outside space was great as well. We used the hot tub multiple times with no issues. Plenty of kitchen utensils and equipment which was great. I’ve been to some rentals before where you just feel like you’re missing your own kitchen and this one was very well equipped. One snafu with the master bedroom but the host/owner was quick to respond. I’d love to see a new bed frame in there, as previous renters must have not mentioned damages at their checkout. It’d be great to visit this property again.
