The NestleInn is an amazing retreat! Private, cozy, clean, and a good base for adventures around Franklin, Highlands and Cashiers. Our family has fallen in love with the mountain moss, the fire pit, the porches, the various inside amenities and thoughtful touches. It’s become our happy place. The host is wonderful.

Great host. . Great location . Super clean and updated Cannot say enough good things about nestle inn and Mrs Linda. This place was great for my kids ( 1 and 3 years old). Gas fire pit was so easy and convenient for the time span of our kids and perfect for smores. Also thanks to Mrs Linda and the advice of the local waterfall within ten minutes of the cabin. Great little hike for me and my three year old.

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The design, the cleanliness, the amenities, the furnishings, the location, it was all more than we expected. We wished we had booked a longer stay. On the final morning we were blessed by a visit by a beautiful yellow cat to finalize our stay at NestleInn. We could not have hoped for a better setting to enjoy a visit with our great friends!

Restful Retreat

This home is perfectly situated near many quaint towns for shopping and dining, as well as hiking, falls, and adventurous zip lines and family ropes courses. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and even left gourmet cinnamon rolls for us to bake our first morning there. We can’t wait to come back!

Sweet as the mountain air

We loved our time at Nestle Inn. It was perfect for our family of 5. We felt right at home in this beautiful cozy home. We appreciated the comfy beds and spacious bathrooms, sitting on the porch in the mornings and listening to the birds. The kitchen is well stocked and the cinnamon rolls Linda left for us for breakfast were delicious! What a great place to enjoy!

Wonderful time at the Nestle Inn

It took us no time at all to nestle in at the Nestle Inn. The house was beautiful and we felt very secluded and peaceful on the property. We have been vacationing in the area of my entire life so we love the location. The property owners were quick and responsive for the few questions we had and left us the most delicious cinnamon rolls that we ate for breakfast our first morning. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Kirkman

Host profile image
My husband, Bill, and I lived in Atlanta for most of our adult lives and in 2004 bought a mountain home on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau in Scaly Mountain. We spent most weekends escaping city life and over the years we started spending more and more time in the mountains. In 2018 we sold our Atlanta house and now live in Scaly Mountain full time. We bought our next-door neighbor's house in the mountains in December 2020 and after 6 months of renovation, it became NestleInn. We look forward to sharing our little piece of paradise with you.
