Cute cabin!

We enjoyed our visit. Comfortable beds and quiet porch. Very small kitchen, but you have what you need. It really is under the trees and peaceful. Would have loved to have had places to walk-the walk to the creek was not possible because of high weeds. I didn’t catch that the checkout was an hour earlier than most places (10:00 am), so we were rushing after breakfast.

Waterfalls with grands

Waterfalls visit with one senior citizen, a 15 year old and an 11 year old. Lovely accommodation and cozy. Never did figure out how to get the lamps to turn on in the master, but managed with my flashlight to be able to read. We all love the homey feel and enjoyed the little tall grass walk to see the creek on the property. We would stay here again!

Wedding trip

We were very happy with our accommodations at The Cabin. We really didn't get to enjoy being at the house because it was a quick come and go. I appreciated the host allowing us to check-in earlier due to a 5:00 wedding in Highlands. We would definitely stay here again. My only complaint is the additional fees added to the nightly fee.

Cozy cabin in the mountains

This cozy cabin in the woods was perfect for a weekend girls getaway. It provided seculsion while also being easy to get to and conveniently located near the downtown areas of both Cashiers and Highlands. We really enjoyed our time here.

Quiet and Comfortable get away

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, mostly because of the cool weather. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the setting is very peaceful. The only things we missed were any sort of view or an easy place to walk (other than the road.)

Cute Place!

This property was just what we needed for an overnight stay. There is plenty of room inside for the 3 bedrooms to comfortably accommodate our group. The house was clean and had all the basic ammenities you could need. Joy and Steeve were very responsive and helpful! I wish we could have stayed longer to explore the surrounding woods of the cabin!

Yellow Mountain Cabin

Cabin was easy in - easy out location. Location was half way between Cashiers and Highlands. Small cabin, but plenty enough room....with a lot of character! I wish we would have had longer to stay, but went up for a family member's wedding in Highlands.

Lovely!

The cabin on Yellow Mountain is an adorable, beautifully decorated place that met our needs perfectly. In town for a wedding, but wished we booked longer just so we could chill on the front porch or do some hiking in the beautiful NC mountains. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
