Private Vacation House in the Woods

Our family of 5 stayed here over a long Thanksgiving holiday. The kitchen is well appointed - we cooked all meals over the stay here. The owners recommended several local hikes and they were all great. We spent the evenings at the backyard fire pit making smores and roasting hot dogs. Beds were comfortable, even the pull out couch was comfortable - a rarity! It was wonderful to have basic items stocked - dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, trash bags, etc. We typically stay in rentals from VRBO instead of hotels and this was one of the best we have stayed in. Highly recommend!

This vacation home in Scaly Mountain is beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and well appointed! The owners went above and beyond with incredible southern hospitality to make sure that no detail was overlooked! I especially appreciated the hand drawn map and detailed directions to the house as the GPS can mislead you along the way up the mountain roads. Also, helpful were the hiking and restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed a refreshing hike up to the magnificent Rabun Bald and to the breathtaking Glen Falls along with some other waterfalls off the main roads. Lunch at Cupboard Cafe in Dillard and a dinner at Asia House in Highlands were fun stops during our stay. We highly recommend this vacation house!

My husband and I stayed in the Birdhouse for an extended weekend and loved every minute of it! The house is clean and comfortable; the kitchen is the best equipped of any vacation home I've ever seen; and the outside views are incredible. We loved the bird-themed decor throughout the house and enjoyed watching birds outside!

The house was convenient to hikes in the Highlands-Cashiers area. We appreciated the provided firewood - a fire was perfect after a cold, windy outdoor excursion on Sunday afternoon. Joe was very helpful and a perfect host. We appreciated his recommendations of things to do and places to eat in the area! We will definitely plan to stay here again.

Let me start by saying my wife and I may have met a more caring and gracious person than Joe the cabins owner but he is at the top of our list. He let us know the cabin was available earlier in the week than we had expected and we were able to go up a day earlier than planned in able to beat the side effects of Hurricane Michael. The cabin was beautifully appointed and was as clean as anywhere we had ever stayed and we don't say that lightly! The weather didn't really cooperate with us but the cabin was so warm and welcoming we didn't mind spending time there. All in all it is a wonderful cabin in a very nice area with a caring and gracious host, so at the end of the day what more could you ask for? We were totally satisfied and are already talking about our next trip. Thanks again to Joe for the incredible hospitality and we really appreciated it!

Our recent stay at this wonderful cottage was perfect from start to finish. The home is well appointed and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything you would possibly need and then some! The home was well stocked with paper goods, cleaning supplies, soap/toiletries and luxurious bath towels. We spent a good amount of our time on the front deck enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The serene wooded atmosphere was a welcome break from our hectic lives back home. The owners were lovely and a pleasure to work with. Their care for this home shows - it is impeccably clean and well cared for. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again soon.
