Twin Creeks on the Cullasaja

SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A cute little cabin on the creek! Our family definitely loved it and we felt right at home. It’s a fisherman’s dream in a quaint little setting. The house is almost like stepping back in time. Not a bad thing, whatsoever! Every amenity you would need is there. William is very responsive and had great recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

The Hideout: Mountaintop Retreat w/ Views

Michelle KRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The stay was lovely. It was a long drive up a gravel road. It was beautiful. It would have been easy to get lost. Which we drove around a few times when leaving for food. Definitely wouldn’t want to drive that road after dark. Room was clean and had an excellent shower. Susan sent messages to let us know if we needed anything to let her know. All in all, great stay and would recommend.

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great stay in Highlands! A few things to note - the mile drive after you get off the main road is gravel and there’s no service. There was also no Uber/Lyft but we were driving so no issues there. Just a couple things to plan for during your stay! Overall, amazing place, extremely clean, & great communication with host. Would 100% stay here again!

HideInnSeek | Bird Nest Treehouse 2 mi to Main St.

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This is by far, the best experience I've ever had in an AirBnB or any rental. First of all, the hosts have created a truly amazing space and environment. It really feels like a treehouse, except a luxury tree house. It's great to feel like you're private, up in the trees, and at the end of the road. Totally private. Next, the interiors are really beautiful and every little touch is just perfect. These hosts have thought of literally everything to make your stay magical. From coffee, to snacks, beverages and candies., soaps and lotions, and all the requirements for a great stay. They even have a curated playlist to play through the built in sound system that matches the mood of the location perfectly. Add to all this, a hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower... and it makes for a perfect stay. Highly Recommended
