Great Family Getaway!

We had a fantastic stay; a perfect house for a family getaway! Booking and check-in were a breeze, thanks to an easy process. The owner was excellent to work with, and the house was not only clean but also fully stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, just a short drive to the recreation center where our family enjoyed skiing and tubing. Highly recommended!

Mountain Bliss

Our family and another family friends had the most amazing stay here. The owner ensures everything you may need is fully stocked and the house is super clean and comfortable. The views from the large porch are spectacular. The large basement included games and toys for all ages to play. The location is perfect super close to everything we came to do. We can’t wait to come back this summer to explore more.

Perfect place

Excellent property! Perfect for our family of 7 adults. Plenty of room for everyone. We loved exploring the nearby towns of Cashiers, Highlands and Brevard. Enjoyed seeing a few waterfalls and loved the hike around Fairfield Lake. We will definitely put this property on the list of places to return. Thank you Scott!!

Beautiful View and Lovely Hikes

The home was everything we hoped, clean, comfortable and stylishly furnished. We loved the lake hike and watching the sunsets over the mountains. We have climbed Chimney Top and Rock Mountain many times in the past. This is the first time we stayed in a place that looked right over them. We will be returning again next year.

This is an awesome property with gorgeous views. It is nicely decorated, very clean and well stocked. It had everything we needed and more. We came for a wedding in the area and had all adults. And yes, we did play some skee ball. I enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the wonderful view. Our host was so helpful and made sure we enjoyed our stay. If I’m in the area again, I would love to stay here again.

Special Thanksgiving

This mountain house was perfect for us to spend Thanksgiving week with adult children and grandchildren. There were many games and activities available for the children and the location was in close proximity to many other fun things to do. The house is spacious, clean and well equipped. We all agreed we want to come back and highly recommend it to anyone else looking for a house in this area.

Great for large friends and family gatherings

Excellent house, with plenty of room, a fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful views. We had 8 family members and there was room for us everywhere. We never bumped into each other or had to go in search of seating. We found great hiking nearby and loved going shopping in Highlands. Thanks for such a great property, we will return.

Kitchen was the best equipped of any place any of us has stayed. It was so easy to slip in and have a lovely vacation without worrying about if we had what we needed. Everything was right at our fingertips - kitchen with storage items for leftovers, spices and oils for cooking, plenty of towels, and lots of space for our things. Rooms were clean and comfortable and well-appointed. TVs with clear instructions on use and access to streaming services. Lots of comfy seating for shared time in the main rooms, porch, and fire pit. Host was very helpful checking in and answering a couple questions for us. It's clear the host loves this home as their own and shares it with you.

Excellent in every way!

Beautiful views, very clean, thoroughly stocked, and (so very important...) comfy beds! What more do you need?? p.s. The addition of the "bear proof" trash cans was helpful...AND did prove to be bear proof, as we spotted a momma and 3 cubs hoping for a snack.

Perfect for our family

The house was just as described and was perfect for our family vacation kids aged from 23 months to 9 years old. Scott was attentive and answered questions quickly. The boys loved the downstairs game room plus it was great for the adults to have our own space. We loved having fires in the evenings, playing board games and had lots of laughs. The house is close to sapphire and cashiers. 20 minute drive to Highlands. Perfect location

Third Time Still Charming

This house is now our official home away from home for the MLK holiday weekend. Scott, the owner, is kind, generous and easy to communicate with. The house has beautiful views and so many comfort amenities. This is our third year coming with three families (kids from 7-14) and no one is ever bored (kids never want to leave). In addition to snow tubing this year, we took advantage of indoor pool and skiing (great lesson by Zach)! We missed out on fire pit with last year’s snowmageddon, but got plenty of s’mores made this year. It’s simply a perfect home for multi-family reunions and we can’t wait to go back!

Family Stay at Mountain Eyes

We were very pleased with our stay at Those Mountain Eyes! The home was very clean, beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The welcome note on the table and the placemats and napkins on the dining table set the tone for our stay. The kitchen was well appointed for all our needs. Bearing in mind that we are all seniors, we would suggest that you might consider installing grab bars in the toilet area and an additional one in the showers. Should you ever need to replace the toilets in the future please consider comfort height toilets. We would like to thank Scott for being an excellent host, and helping to make our stay so enjoyable!

Perfect House, Perfect Location

The property had everything we needed for our family and the layout was absolutely perfect! Our boys had a blast playing with all of the toys downstairs and making s’mores every night outside by the fire. My husband and I stayed in the loft and loved walking up to the view of the mountains. We cooked every night at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved having access to the Sapphire Valley Rec Center too. The kids played on the playground, did putt putt golf and played in the snow (they were prepping the ski slopes). And the location was perfect! Close to Cashiers, Highlands and Glenville. We even made a trip to Bryson City to go on the Polar Express. We will absolutely rent this house again next time we go back!

Beautiful, comfortable, and CLEAN!

I stay in VRBO homes or condos every time I vacation, and Those Mountain Eyes is one of the nicest and cleanest places I've ever stayed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was WELL stocked and easy to work in, there were games, DVDs, and puzzles galore, and the host was super communicative. We loved the gorgeous deck and the views can't be beat. You fee like you're in the middle of nowhere, yet restaurants and the grocery store are less than 10 minutes away. And the amenities were fantastic! Traveling during the Covid-19 pandemic was a risk and something I was very nervous about, but I felt safer during our trip than I do at home. Not only was the house super clean (they even left us some clorox wipes), the community was doing a fantastic job of social distancing and wearing masks. Almost all of the area restaurants have outdoor seating, and even in June/July the weather was perfect for sitting outside. We loved the area, we loved the home. We'll definitely be back!

Thank you for your kind words. I am thrilled you enjoyed your stay and felt safe due to cleanliness and comfortable in the home. BTW the cleaning service commented on how clean you kept the property during your stay. This allows me to keep the cleaning costs reasonable so thank you again. Hope to host you again soon.

Look no further!!

This place is nothing short of spectacular! My friends and I just returned from a girls’ retreat and had the best vacation ever. If you are looking for a Mind/Body/Spirit reboot, don’t hesitate and book this rental now before someone else does!… You will enjoy the cool, crisp mountain air, majestic mountain views, and beautiful sunsets right from your deck. At night, since there is no haze or light pollution to obstruct your view, you will feel as if you are at a planetarium in the multitude of stars you will see. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs at night, stargazing and having great conversation will remain one of my very favorite memories …. As location goes, you are within walking distance of scenic Fairfield Lake which rents kayaks, paddleboards, canoes and has a swimming area for families. This place is a true throwback to simpler times and is the picture-perfect setting for some good family fun. Close by you can find many hikes. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking to Rainbow Falls from Gorges State Park. It was quite an adventure with a great payoff at the scenic waterfalls!... In addition, we found the quaint town of Cashiers to have tasty eateries. My favorite was the open-air Cornucopia Restaurant which perfectly capped off our day of hiking…. As far as the house goes, it is among the VERY BEST VRBO’s I have ever stayed in. The owner, Scott, is clearly earning his 5-star rating with his responsiveness and attention to detail. The house is clean, meticulously kept, tastefully decorated and cozy. The kitchen is well-appointed and ready for a crowd. Each bedroom is super comfortable and even has its own private bathroom. For families, the street level “Man Cave” will be the center of a ton of family fun. In fact, you may not be able to get your kids out of the basement;)… I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone – but please leave some days open for us – we will be back!
