So glad it worked out for you to come for the weekend. Hopefully, you will get to stay longer next time!
We had a wonderful stay! The house and view is even prettier in person and the space was great for our family. The hostess was incredibly responsive. This was our first time using VRBO and it was perfect.
We spent 9 nights at this property and could have easily spent as many more. Beautiful home, great location, and gracious host.

Mountain beauty! Quiet, remote, relaxing.

This is a great house and the views are amazing. The location is secluded, but also a gated community which is nice. It's also close to cashiers if you need to grab something from a grocery store. Highly recommend!!

Serene mountain home!
Our family made wonderful memories in this beautifully appointed home with an incredible view of the mountains! We had everything we needed for celebrating the holiday and watching football in front of a warm fire. Just minutes from Cashiers, shopping and restaurants. Would love to come back!
We had the most wonderful stay at this home! The views from the home, porch, fire pit, and even the bedrooms were just spectacular! Everything was clean and the home is beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is very quiet and there are some great hikes in the preserve. We will definitely return soon!
