We very much enjoyed our stay. The home was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The complementary bottle of wine and cookies were very thoughtful. Our favorite spot was the screened in porch area. The location is near hiking trails, waterfalls, shopping, and dining. The drive is steep as mentioned in the property description. The turn around spot is tight, but we managed it in a full sized truck. Communication from the property manager was great.

Beautiful home, nice screened in porch area with comfortable seating and plenty of room. Nicely furnished with well stocked kitchen. Close to downtown Highlands. Close to road noise but that ended by early evening.

Hickory Hills Highlands NC

Accommodations were just right inside. Didn’t realize that location was in a type of subdivision and so close to the highway. We also had a problem with drainage…the dishwasher overflowed. We reported all of this Sunday night. Parking for 2 cars was a challenge. Sorry we Were unable to wash towels but were afraid to with drainage problem.😊

Thanks for the review Susan! We're so sorry you had an issue with the dishwasher and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention before you left. That issue has been addressed. We understand that the driveway to this home is a little challenging and that's why we address it in the property description. We have lots of other homes in different locations so we hope you'll come stay with us again!

Very nice cabin; driveway is definitely tricky

The home was clean and well stocked. The management team very responsive. We so enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and they offer to have wood there in two different size options. The home is located perfectly to Highlands. Two cons; the driveway is steep as mentioned and we found it difficult to manage with 3 cars. Also, if there was snow or ice would not want to go up or down on that driveway. The only other con is that the bedroom downstairs is subject to the creaking floors above. We had 7 adults and 2 infants and enjoyed our stay very much outside of those 2 issues.

Thanks for the review Karyn. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you mentioning the driveway. We do caution people in the description but it's good to have it in a review where more people might see it.

Property was fine; parking was a nightmare. Any more than two cars doesn't work.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jul, 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad to hear the property itself met your expectations. We understand the parking situation was frustrating, and we're sorry it added stress to your stay. We do note in our listing that the driveway is steep with limited parking — two pads at the top and additional space behind the house with steps up to the main entry — since the terrain here in the mountains doesn't allow for a larger lot. That said, we know it's not always easy to plan around this if you're arriving with multiple vehicles, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We'll continue to make sure this is clearly communicated to future guests so everyone can plan accordingly. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope we might host you again in the future.
