Fall Get-away for our family

Lovely cabin in a woodsy setting, perfect for fall leaves. The house was cozy and the beds comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and the wildlife, (my son-in-law spotted a bear!). We will definitely visit again. Short drive to center of town was a plus.

Wonderful Mountain Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Limbertwig Cottage! The cottage was very well appointed for staying 8 days! Kitchen has everything you need. We loved the proximity to our favorite hikes and to Highlands! The only thing lacking was a broom for the front porch! We would definitely book again!

Lovely Mountain Cabin

This cozy little cabin was perfect for our mountain vacation. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had what we needed to make everything from smoothies for breakfast to gourmet dinners. Everyone enjoyed the deck throughout the day and in the evening we roasted marshmallows at the fire pit. The location was ideal - close enough to town but not too close. We enjoyed morning walks around the property and hiking nearby trails during the day. We especially liked that our dog could stay with us. We can’t wait to go back.

Great get-away in a lovely location!

Everything was new, clean, and fresh. Anything you might want or need was provided. There were plates, silverware, cookware, baking pans, openers, coffee maker, in short, everything for a great stay. The furnishings were up-to-date and stylish including a leather couch, great bedding, fun art, and very nice fireplace. It is hard to say enough good things about this house. Oh, did we mention the furnished deck and firepit? Wonderful for a large family if combined with the two other houses on the property.

Limbertwig Cottage

The cottage is well designed, well furnished, and well equipped. The setting is lovely and the location is very good for spending time anywhere in the Highlands/Cashiers area and beyond. Everything is as pictured and described. A bonus, not pictured is the good quality, full sized washer and dryer. Kept thinking what a great place it would be to have a larger family gathering by renting the other cottages at Five Apple Farm too. The hosts are gracious and very responsive.

Beautiful peaceful property!

After a failed trip to Switzerland due to airline issues, my husband I checked for any mountain rentals at the LAST minute. We happened to find this and immediately booked. It did not disappoint! Beautiful property to walk and amazingly peaceful for our stay. The house had everything you would need…we cooked and went out to dinner. The king bed was so comfortable!! Absolutely will be back - what a blessing to have found this!

This was our 2nd stay at Five Apple Farms. What a great escape. Sitting on the lovely porch and hearing not a single thing but birds and the wind and the trees rustling is heavenly. Just a short drive to Main Street, without all the bustle. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will be back.
