Our family was here for a week for the first time. We loved the location, the trees, even the golf course view which was remarkably quiet. Super clean, well appointed and comfortable. Parking for five. Can't wait to get back.

Comfy, cozy Fall stay!

We so enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home in the wonderful Lake Toxaway Club community. Nestled into the trees and on the 8th hold of the golf course, we loved sitting on the back porch or lounging by the roaring fire in the family room. The fire pit area is also a great addition to all this house has to offer. With 4 large bedrooms and 4 full baths, this inviting home is perfect for a family getaway in the mountains. The help given by the property manager was great and we appreciated his assistance so much. We cannot wait to return!

They are all well supplied and in great locations near lake toxaway, the country club and high in the mountains. There are few restaurants nearby but highland and cashiers are close enough and golf is everywhere.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very cozy and charming, albeit a little dark. We had a lovely stay there. My only suggestion would be that more comfortable outdoor furniture be obtained...we spent a lot of time outside, but the couch/chairs are not super-comfortable for older folks (my parents were with us).

Mountains in May

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful weekend at Sweet Laurel Lodge. The floor plan allowed two families to spread out and “live” out of separate floors while gathering together in the well-appointed kitchen for breakfast and the living room for late night talks after the children were sent to bed. The gardens of huge rhododendron and mountain laurels was perfect for epic rounds of hide and seek. Sweet Laurel is close to the pool so we took advantage of that for dinner both nights after discovering that the pizza is amazing. We did make the 30 minute drive to Cashiers to wade in the river, slide down a waterfall and have a delicious lunch at Whiteside Brewing. Also, Rachel saved the day with her recommendation for gem mining at Bear Tracks. All of the adults and children agree that the weekend was perfect and cannot wait to come back again!

Christmas Week Retreat

Comfortable, well appointed log cabin along 8th fairway on Lake Toxaway golf course. Great kitchen, dining, and den areas in open floorplan. Easy walk to Clubhouse and Graystone Inn, 10 minute drive to US 64. Perfect for me and my wife, plus two adult children and their partners. Plenty of wood for the working fire place. It got down to 12 degrees one night, comfortable nonetheless. May do it again next Christmas.

Wonderful Cottage Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful Cabin for our family of 5. Very cozy and felt like home from the moment we arrived. The location is fantastic, with only a 1-2 minute drive to the Country Club, Greystone & Marina. Everything was clean and neat. Plenty of linens, blankets, towels. Having 4 bathrooms was helpful and they are clean. Loved the board games and the hook game on the deck provided hours of entertainment. It was fun watching the golfers, but tree coverage provides perfect amount of privacy. We loved the Toxaway trail for hiking with a couple of waterfalls (bring water shoes). Headwaters Outfitters in Rosman about 15-20 min away provides River tubing, canoeing & trout-fishing - excellent customer service. Rented a boat one day and that was a beautiful way to see the lake and the kiddos got a chance to swim and tube. The staff at the Marina are very accommodating. The Country Club's pool was under construction, but it looks like it will be very nice. The food there is really good. We did delivery and carry-out with Greystone - limited offerings from the bar only menu but it was okay. Only a few restaurants within 10 minutes and some are closed Sunday and Monday so make sure to reserve in advance. Definitely make sure to get groceries in Brevard or Cashiers before getting to Toxaway. There is a small grocery store 5-10 minutes from the house that has basics and Wine and Beer but I think they're only open Tue-Fri or Sat. Very nice owner who is opening a coffee shop and ice cream shop across the street. Property Management was very responsive. Explored nearby towns. Cashiers is casual and Highlands is really nice and offers more upscale restaurants and boutiques. All-around great vacation and comfortable home base to explore the area.
