Visit our beautiful vacation home in Highlands, North Carolina! Bright and airy with lots of high windows: Rain or shine, there's never a dreary day at Creekview Cabin! Located at 4,100 feet, it's generally a good 20 degrees cooler than Atlanta or points south.

A great location, whatever your interests; only 7 minutes to main street Highlands, only 10 minutes to the Cashiers crossroads. Just off Highway 64, but on the back side of the ridge, so it's *quiet* and peaceful. Highlands is a fantastic place to vacation, with miles of hiking trails, interesting shops and superb restaurants in town, many golf courses, streams, waterfalls and lakes everywhere. It's been our favorite destination for the last 12 years, so we're eager to share it with our guests!

Three bedrooms and three baths sleep 6 comfortably, with room for another two on the comfortable sleeper sofa in the loft. Insulation in the walls and between floors gives good privacy, makes it easy for three couples (or a family with kids) to share the space without feeling like you're living in each other's back pockets. Every bedroom has a 26" flat-screen HDTV with cable connection and a DVD player, and there's a 42" screen and home theater system in the living room - No fighting over who gets to watch what!

Get a house of your own with 3 bedrooms & 3 baths, and freedom to come and go as you please, plus a pet-friendly atmosphere, for *less* than you'd pay for a basic hotel suite in town! We'd stayed in hotels and commercial cabins for years until we realized what a lousy deal it was: Private cabins like ours make *so* much more sense!

Can't get *completely* away? We know the feeling! There's a nice, very functional office area in the loft, with a large-screen monitor and printer/fax/copier for guest use. High-speed cable modem and Wi-Fi are also included, and there's free long-distance dialing for the entire US. If you can manage it, by all means turn off the email. Sometimes though, staying connected can mean the difference between a hurried weekend or relaxing week away. - Or between a week and a month's stay. At Creekview Cabin, you can stay as close or as far from work as you'd like, the choice is yours!

Creekview Cabin is dog-friendly: We *love* pets, but let us know about yours first. Highlands is a great place for dogs, you'll find lots of other dog-lovers up here if you choose to bring yours. Our little Aussie *loves* Highlands and our cabin, we bet your pets will too! (Sorry, dogs only; we regretfully don't accept cats as guests.)

Our cabin is *professionally managed* by one of the nicest, most accommodating rental agents you could meet. Lori will make sure everything's just so before you arrive, and if you need anything during your stay, she and her husband live right nearby, are there to help. (Lost keys or clogged drain? No worry over an owner in Atlanta or elsewhere trying to deal with it in the middle of the night: Lori's right there in Highlands, no problem need interfere with your relaxation!)

We LOVE Highlands, and think you will too! Give it a try, you'll be hooked for life!

PS: Visiting friends in the area? Our place is literally just across the main road from the Culasaja Club and just down the road from Wildcat Cliffs Country Club and Old Edwards at Highlands Cove. Stay here, visit there; all three are literally two minutes away!

• Amenities
  • Air Conditioning : Central heating and A/C, with two separate zones (upstairs master and downstairs), so it's easy to keep the whole house comfortable. (It's a very high-efficiency HVAC system too, so you can be comfortable *and* energy-conscious.)
  • Linens Provided : 400-threadcount sheets on all beds. Smoooth & comfy!
  • Washer : Stacked washer-dryer set, makes it easy to keep ahead of laundry, with no trips to the laundromat or hassles with sharing a unit with other guests.
  • Dryer
  • Off Street Parking : Ample parking area: Three cars easily, four in a pinch, or two cars with a boat, etc.
  • Parking for RV/Boat/Trailer : You'll need to back it up the driveway, but plenty of room for two cars plus a boat.
  • Wood Fireplace : Wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter. Firewood available as an option. (GREAT stuff, kiln-dried, cheaper and *way* better than what's in town!)
• Beds
  • King Bed : Upstairs master has a King bed.
  • Queen Bed (2) : Downstairs master and guest bedroom have Queen beds.
  • Convertible Bed : There's a convertible bed/sofa in the loft. It's a non-private sleeping area, but a great place for the kids!
• Entertainment
  • Cable/Satellite TV (4) : 42" flat-screen HDTV in Living Room, every bedroom has its own 26" flat-screen HDTV with a DVD player. (Great for families w/kids, no fighting over what to watch! Nice for couples sharing the cabin too, everyone can watch their own movie or TV. Insulation in walls helps keep TV noise from traveling between bedrooms.)
  • DVD (4)
  • CD Player
  • Stereo System
  • Music Library (4) : Bring *your* music library! Living room stereo and the clock-radios in all the bedrooms have iPod docks, so you surround yourself with all your favorite music.
• Kitchen
  • Full Kitchen
  • Cooking Utensils Provided : We've tried to think of everything; this is a fully-equipped kitchen that you can cook most any kind of meal in!
  • Refrigerator
  • Dishwasher
  • Microwave
  • Ice Maker
• Outdoor Features
  • Gas/Electric BBQ Grill : A great gas-fired Weber barbecue grill is on the front deck, just off the kitchen/dining area. Toss on some steaks and watch the sun set!
  • Deck/Patio : Two decks: An open deck with gas grill, plus a spacious (10 foot wide) covered porch. Beautiful, comfortable wicker porch furniture. Very spacious and comfy, a great place to sit & sip something cool and watch the sun sink behind the trees!
• View/Location
  • Waterfront, not Lake/Oceanfront. Ask for details : A babbling creek tumbles down a ravine next to the cabin. Sit on the covered porch and be lulled by the sounds of water over rocks and pools.
  • Mountain View : We actually don't think of it as a "mountain view" ourselves, as the view is through the trees, but a number of guests have commented on the beautiful view, so we won't argue. (In the winter and early spring with the leaves down, you can see Shortoff Mountain and others in the range from the living room area. In the summer, you'll know you're in the mountains, but honestly won't be looking at them directly.)
• Communications
  • Telephone (4) : Cordless phone in every bedroom and the kitchen, corded phone in the loft office area.
  • Free Long Distance : Free long distance service covers all of the continental US. Cell coverage is spotty in the mountains (although Verizon and AT&T both work well at the cabin), so the free phone will come in handy!
  • Computer : Actually, not a computer, but there *is* a large 23" Apple Cinema display for your use, with both DVI and VGA connectors to plug into your laptop. There's also a printer/fax/scanner unit you can connect to via WiFi or USB.
  • Broadband Internet
  • WiFi (Wireless Internet) : *Two* 802.11n routers, take your pick: One encrypted for secure connection to keep your information confidential. If you have any problems connecting, though, just plug in the second router for a wide-open internet connection.
• Suitability
  • Pet Friendly : We're dog lovers; that's a big part of why we bought this place. We'd appreciate learning about your pets first, but look forward to helping other families bring their pets along on vacations.
