Catamount River Retreat

JanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was such a beautiful place to stay while we were witnessing my daughter’s graduation from WCU. It was so spacious, clean, and had gorgeous views, all while being minutes away from the University. The host was so proactive with communication and instructions for check in and out. The place was SPOTLESS. It’s an unforgettable trip!

Entire cabin on Lake Sequoyah

DevinRating, 5 stars8 months ago
My family of four really enjoyed staying at Todd's. There was plenty of space inside and nature surrounding the house, and it was close enough to the things we wanted to explore in Highlands as well as Cashiers.

Cozy Mountain Cottage

MarciaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The cottage sits above the lake in a mountain setting. Quite charming. The neighborhood is in a gated community and was super quiet. If you are visiting during the summer, we highly recommend using the lake-access docks for swimming and simply enjoying the beauty of the lake. It's a 2 minute drive to the bottom of the hill! What a peaceful place to hangout. The cottage is conveniently located between Cashiers and Highlands, so take advantage and visit both. We appreciated that there were no additional fees for our dog. He loved swimming in the lake. The bedrooms and bathroom are located on the second floor, so be aware if steps are an issue for you. Otherwise, it's a open and airy place to stay.

What a beautiful and peaceful location on Lake Chatuge! The view is stunning and the place is so clean and comfortable. The bedroom is very spacious and the king size bed was so comfortable.

Cozy, clean cottage with a comfy bed. Stayed a week and enjoyed it, close to lake. Quiet area but you can hear footsteps from above since it’s a duplex.

Grace Cottage, on Lake Nantahala

AmandaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Lake Nantahala is absolutely beautiful and the cabin was wonderful for a quick getaway. The porch overlooking the lake is perfect for enjoying the fresh air and while the walk down to the lake is steep the steps and pathway made it really easy. The space was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our favorite part of cabin was sitting on the dock in the adirondack chairs! Would definitely recommend if looking in this area!

My family rents a lake house every year and we all agreed this was our favorite one! The location was perfect- on a quiet part of the lake with a view of the mountains.

Renovated in Highlands - 1M to downtown Highlands

RyanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Highlands, NC is a can’t-miss retreat. On top of that, the hidden bear cottage provided a peaceful, quiet, quaint stay. Staying nearly two weeks in the cottage provided much opportunity to utilize their fire pit, kitchen, hot showers, puzzles, neighborhood walks, etc. We would happily stay there again.
The cottage is framed by tall trees and lush greenery, featuring a wraparound deck with steps leading to the entrance. The outdoor area showcases landscaped gardens and natural stone features, creating a peaceful and harmonious outdoor setting.

Lake Glenville lakefront cottage

MattRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This was our second stay at Lake Song. The view is more beautiful than the pictures convey. It is 12 minutes to Cashiers for restaurants and shopping. Our favorite is Whiteside Brewery which is great for kids. Mandy makes you feel very welcome almost like you are staying at a close friends place. It is a very special place and we hope to return next summer.

Cozy Franklin Cottage w/ Waterfront Views!

BritneyRating, 5 stars24 months ago
Hands down, this was the best experience we’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The house was spotless and fully stocked with essentials for not only us, but our dog too (literally- they even had poop bags, treats, dog bowls, and a doggie bed). Kayaking on the Little Tennessee River was an absolute BLAST, and our dog loved running around in the fenced-in yard. Breweries, shops, and groceries are just a short drive away. We felt right and home and will 1,000% be repeat visitors.
A wooden dock extends over the calm waters of Lake Chatuge, featuring a shaded seating area with a striped umbrella. Nearby, boats are moored along the shoreline, and verdant trees provide a natural backdrop to the serene setting.

Lake Front Cozy Cabin on Lake Chatuge

JessieRating, 5 stars47 months ago
This little cottage is an absolute gem! It's in an easy to find location, right on Lake Chatuge with a gorgeous view in all directions. Michelle was very quick, easy, and helpful to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The place had everything we needed to cook and grill, with super comfy patio furniture. The dock was perfect for fishing & sunbathing. The fire pit area was gorgeous and a great place to relax in the evenings and watch the sunset. We will definitely be back for another stay and recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a lakeside getaway and break from the busy world.
