Perfect little getaway!

Such a beautiful area for a peaceful getaway. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The thick, lush mountain laurels gave so much privacy felt like we were the only people around. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for sharing your sweet little piece of tranquility!

Feels like you were in a rainforest

We love Highlands, North Carolina. The cabin was as listed and convenient to Highlands, Cashiers, and many other spots in the area. The drive to the cabin felt like you were in a rainforest.

Charming Cabin in the Woods, yet Minutes from Highlands & Cashiers

This property was advertised properly & offered a warm cabin atmosphere. Well stocked (except the upstairs bath wall shampoo/condition was empty.) Fortunately, the Dollar Store is 3 minutes away! Kit had every type of pot/pan/utensils for cooking(which was essential for our Thanksgiving week). Owners even offered us charcoal (not standard practice)although it was way too cold to grill & enjoy the outdoor seating. The fireplace was a huge winner & owners supplied all the logs(which is not always the case). The master BR is tiny(there is no chest for clothes), so we lived out of our suitcases on the floor. There is a large closet w/10-15 hangers). The Master BR bed was super comfy & there are loads of extra pillows (also usually NOT the case). My husband & I wanted to be able to walk to Main St, & chose this place due to affordability vs. walkability, & that ended up being a good decision for us, b/c Treehouse offered a lot of bang for the buck. We ended up loving that it was in between Highlands & Cashiers(a little closer to Highlands). Overall I think it's an excellent value & we would stay here again.

We had a bit of a frustrating check in because the house wasn’t ready because of the previous renters. We tried to get in in time to watch the college football game and we could not get the cable to work. Plus, we had a really bad downpour in the mountains on the windy road leading to Highlands . but overall had a wonderful stay. The weather was fantastic.
