Perfect little spot if you want peace and quiet! We loved the grill so we could cook and loved the deck to lounge and eat outside. It’s a very comfortable place and we would recommend it!! Just pay close attention to the map, one way took us down a long very bumpy dirt road but the other way was fine so pick the route that’s a couple more minutes, trust me!
Was a really cozy place to stay and nicely located between Highlands and Cashiers. Was impeccably clean and plenty of space for two. The owner was very thoughtful and available if needed.
My daughter and I came to check out Cashiers and Highlands for the first time. This home was absolutely adorable. Very clean and seemed like it was freshly remodeled. Would stay here again.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m so glad you were comfortable. Hope to see you here again!
We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary, and we loved every minute! The studio was the perfect size, and it was so cozy. It had everything we needed, and Bonnie was great at communicating. We definitely recommend staying here, and we hope to be back soon!
I was in a wedding and stayed in the studio apartment! Everything was clean and neat! It was the coziest little studio cabin and we enjoyed our stay here. The manager Bonnie was so sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back and stay again!
Stayed in this beautiful studio for the weekend to attend a wedding. Perfectly between both cashier and highlands. Gorgeous views from the studio and was just as described and very clean! Will be back :)
Perfect little bungalow for our weekend stay. Everything was very clean. Bonnie has added some nice touches. I especially appreciated the little heater available for the bathroom. Our only hiccup was some difficulty working the tv, but we figured it out. Thanks again, Bonnie!
We had a busy vacation planned in Highlands and just needed a comfortable place to stay. This place is really nice and new, clean, the bed is superb, owner is very kind. If I stayed again I would make sure to go to the store and eat dinner first, then head to cottage bc it’s pretty far out of town. Also, the owner will correspond and send instructions, so make sure to look it up while you have internet and phone reception. It’s a bit spotty out in the country. Happy travels!!
We loved spending New Year's at this cozy studio! It's bright and clean with really pretty decor. Bonnie has everything you need, from coffee to sparkling water to firewood to toiletries. The bed was super comfy and we loved waking up to the view of the trees and rhododendrons. A couple sweet puppies dropped by to say hello when we were outside. The house feels remote, but is 20 minutes from everything we wanted to do, and 5 minutes from the hike to the Yellow Mountain fire tower- a must-do if you want to see some gorgeous views. Bonnie was a great host, and even helped us out when we locked out keys in the car! (Crisis was averted!) Thank you, Bonnie, we will definitely be back.
Was a great, secluded, quiet, peaceful place to stay. The host was great, and texted instead of messaging if anything was needed and responded quickly. Will stay here again if in the area!!

About the host
Your host
I've always been an outdoor enthusiast, and my journey has taken me from the sprawling landscapes of Texas to the rugged beauty of Colorado and now to the lush wilderness of North Carolina. Each place has offered its own unique outdoor adventures, drawing me to the forests, trails, rivers, and lakes that make up this amazing tapestry of nature. I love skiing, hiking, biking and fishing.
Now, I find myself in North Carolina, where the landscape has a different charm. The lush, green forests and rolling hills have become my new haven. The state's extensive trail system offers endless hiking and biking opportunities. I explore the winding paths that lead to hidden waterfalls, and I'm constantly in awe of the diverse flora and fauna that call this place home.
In addition to my own outdoor adventures, I have a deep passion for sharing the beauty of nature with others. I love hosting people from all over so they can also enjoy the wonders of the great outdoors.
