Great spot right outside Cashiers. Porch is awesome spot to hangout. We were not there much as in town for a family wedding but it was perfect spot for us. Internet was a little spotty so TVs wouldn't work all the time but not a big deal. Great little mountain spot.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We're so glad the location just outside Cashiers worked out perfectly for your family wedding trip, and that the porch gave you a great spot to relax when you were back at the home. We appreciate the note about the internet. Mountain connectivity can be unpredictable at times, and we're glad it didn't get in the way of your stay. We'd love to welcome you back next time you're in the area. The VueStay Team

A review of our stay in late June 2026. So, some things may change since then. The Pros: The house was clean. It is located in close proximity to downtown Highlands, lots of hikes and waterfalls, an Ingles grocery store, and a reasonably quick drive to other cities. The porch is very enjoyable. It is on a pretty quiet street. A smaller vehicle could park under the carport and not get wet during rain. My husband has a dog allergy so we selected this property bc no pets are allowed. We only used the king sized bed, but the mattress and sheets were comfortable.Not specified: The house has a Keurig, not a drip coffee maker. Good to know before you go to the grocery store. The Cons: There is only one free-standing portable AC unit. It is set up in the breakfast nook, which is on the opposite side of the bedrooms. While we were there, the weather got hot, and the bedroom did not cool down until the early hours of the morning. This was uncomfy. WiFi and cell-service are weak, particularly during peak hours, so you likely WILL experience disruptions. I could not get calls/texts at the house at all on Verizon. Netflix only worked one night for us. Web browsing only worked in the early AM. If you need to do work remotely, plan to camp out at a coffee shop in town. This also made it a little challenging to reach the property manager with questions.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're sorry that the heat made the bedroom uncomfortable. On the connectivity, WiFi and cell service in the mountains around Highlands can be limited, particularly at peak hours, and that is largely tied to the area itself rather than the home, though we've passed your notes along so we can set clearer expectations for future guests. We're glad the cleanliness, the porch, the quiet street, and the location close to downtown, the hikes, and the waterfalls still came through for you, and the tip about the Keurig is a helpful one.
