The house was great, just what you'd expect for that mountain cabin experience. Clean and everything needed to be comfortable. Easy access to Cashiers, Highlands and Sylva, we hit them all and Happs Place is about a mile away, great food, drinks and 3 season room with a fireplace that opens to an outdoor area. Friday night they had a band on the outdoor stage. The access to the lake from the house includes 177 stairs, yes we counted, not ideal for small children or elderly. The lake is very clean, would have liked to see the 3 waterfalls visible from the lake but the marina wasn't renting boats for the weekend, probably because it was October and the high 30s morning temps discouraged taking the kayaks out. Overall a wonderful stay.
