This is a great location to get to Highlands, Cashiers and hiking spots. The property is well maintained and the cottage is lovely- nicely decorated and comfortable. It was perfect for me and my husband. The host was easy to communicate with and responded to questions quickly. We really enjoyed our time there- would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location in reference to downtown was great. You are about 3 miles from downtown Highlands. The cottage was clean and well equipped for us. If you’re lucky, you may see wildlife like we did. A deer showed up one early evening and we were visited by 2 rabbits just about every day late afternoon. The only negative was that the mattress is super firm. So just be mindful of that if important to you. Overall, the stay was great, and we would highly recommend. Dana the host is super responsive, which we appreciated.
