Wonderful Place in an excellent location.

Wonderful Place in an excellent location, place needs a spring cleaning. We enjoyed our weekend stay at Michael's home. Beautiful views when it wasn't raining or hazy. Hot tub, sauna and pool table were a hit with the college students and child. Items that need attention: Gas grill (regulator issues), Recliner broken (upstairs), DVD didn't work (upstairs) and the Espresso maker (leaks). No complaints with sleeping accommodations. The driveway was a challenge for our two-wheel drive vehicles, but we made it to the reward at the top. Wish we could have stayed longer with better weather. We definitely recommend staying there, you won't want to leave. Michael, Thank you for the opportunity.

About the host

Hosted by Michael McGinley

Host profile image
I am the third generation of the family with this property. I just completely renovated and upgraded and put all the things I wanted in the house. I live in Atlanta and am not able to use it as often as I like, so I hope to share it with others whenever possible.

Why they chose this property

The family originally lived in Highlands/Cashiers, and they moved to this place because of the view, which is just spectacular.

What makes this property unique

This property is just the most peaceful refuge. My grandparents loved providing a safe and happy place for family and friends and weary travelers to rest, relax, and enjoy a good meal. We hope you find this place to be the way they intended, a scenic mountain refuge where all are welcomed. We hope it feels like home.
