Charming house.

The house was very charming. We had no issues with the cleanliness of the property. The house was decorated beautifully. It was also a nice location. Private & secluded but only a short drive to Highlands!

Great stay in Scaly Mountain

The cabin is well appointed with a great porch. We appreciated the hosts flexibility. Having our name on the board out front made it more relaxing coming in after dark and knowing we'd found the right house. Thank you!

Quaint and quiet

This mountain cabin has been updated and was clean and well stocked on our arrival. Very quiet area and close to family that we were visiting. The driveway is a bit steep so the 4x4 came in handy, but it's the mountains so not unusual for the area. Internet service is a bit spotty and not 'high speed' but again - that's normal for the area. We will look to stay here again for our next visit to the area.

Exceptional Retreat!

We stayed at this cozy house the weekend before Valentine’s to attend a wedding in Highlands. Everything as described was to a T! Plenty of kitchen supplies for additional people. Attention to detail such as the basket of goodies to make s’mores (unfortunately it was rainy and cold) and other snacks. We loved the coffee bar, too! The porch is so welcoming as you enter the home. I can’t say enough about our stay other than I wish we could’ve stayed longer and the weather had been more cooperative.

A slice of heaven

Everything about this reservation was perfect… from the host and his super personable approach, to the meticulously clean and chic cabin… the snacks, coffee and s’mores added to the atmosphere and experience… also, I must say, location, location, location! It doesn’t get better than this.

SUPER Clean and welcoming

My family of 5 with three young adult boys and our dog, loved our stay at this property. The place was spotless, I mean CRAZY clean. The host had a ton of coffee, creamers and snacks set out for us. Also, plenty of paper towels, dishwasher detergent, and even toilet paper. The owner was super communicative and responded quickly to my messages. Make sure you hit Mud Creek trail to see the waterfall. This place may not have a scenic view, but we enjoyed playing games at the big dining table and the fire pit outside! Great post Christmas get away!!!
