Beautiful, bright, clean, charming cabin. Well stocked and immaculate. Owner very friendly, easy to communicate with. We used the BBQ pit and the fire pit and enjoyed sitting on the porch. We have AT&T and had no reception on the mountain, but the cabin has reliable WiFi and a variety of streaming TV options. Both beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen very well stocked. Bathrooms very clean and well stocked. Lots of games the kids enjoyed, plenty of towels, extra sheets and blankets. They do have a land line phone if you need to make a local call.
Location is up on a mountain - have to drive a bit to get to Highlands and Cashiers on some winding mountain roads. Peaceful and secluded. Very close to Lake Glenville. We spent time in downtown Cashiers and Highlands. We hiked Whiteside Mountain, went over to Gorges State Park and hiked Rainbow Falls. We did a family friendly white water rafting trip in Dillsboro, rented a boat on Lake Glenville. Don't miss Hidden Falls - a moderate/difficult hike right across the street from the Pines Recreation Area on Lake Glenville - the waterfall at the bottom of the hike is AMAZING - but the hike back up is tough! We did a short trail ride with Arrowmont Stables, which was very near the cabin. We drove to Brevard and did the famous (and freezing!) Sliding Rock and planned to hike Black Balsam Knob but rain prevented that hike. My older sons and husband did a private fly fishing half day trip with Brookings Anglers (we used the Cashiers location). We enjoyed an outdoor meal at the Whiteside Brewing Company in Cashiers and visited the farmers market, but mostly cooked at the cabin. We drove up to Cherokee for a day and visited the Indian Village - really beautiful in that area, and we were going to do a tubing trip but the rain prevented that. Don't miss scenic Hwy 64 near the cabin - with a string of waterfalls right off the road including my sons' favorite: Bust Your Butt Falls.
Overall a peaceful and rejuvenating week for our family. Lots of relaxation along with plenty of beautiful outdoor activities. We were very easily able to socially distance and still enjoy the area.
