The home was very cozy

House and amenities were as promised or better. Plenty of space for conversation and relaxation. House is suitable for couples or a family with kids. Third bedroom has only bunk beds so not ideal for adults but a minor issue.
Instructions are needed to operate TVs and remotes as we were unable to use. Nevertheless, a great overall house with relaxing water and mountain views. Will visit again.

Great property.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa de Yayo. The home is beautifully decorated and has ample space to relax. The porch has a stunning view of the lake and was a favorite place to enjoy coffee and cocktails. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor were large and comfortable. There is a queen in the master (with a huge bathroom!) and a full in the guest room. The bunk room below provides great additional sleeping space if needed, but has 6 twin beds, which might not be ideal for couples. It worked beautifully for our crew and we loved being in such a lovely home! We will be back! Also tucked into a very quiet area on the lake.

This house is incredible! It was like staying in a friend's vacation home, not a rental. It was spotless, well-stocked, and beautiful. Truly luxurious finishes and decor and a quiet, stunning view.
We had two families with 4 kids (ages 2-6). We had plenty of space for meals and various sleeping arrangements for young children.
The porch and full-length accordion door made for the most amazing afternoons on the porch.
Cashiers is a quick, easy trip, a few restaurants are close by, and take out from the Greystone made for nice breaks.

What a beautiful setting on the lake! We had a long weekend with the kids and had a fantastic stay here- plenty for the kids to do, and a great setting for all of us to relax. We would certainly stay here again!

Amazing home, amazing view, amazing family time! Couldn’t have asked for a better house/location. The home is perfect. We have a toddler & infant and the house accommodated both very well! We love Lake Toxaway and fell even more in love with it during our stay! We can’t wait to visit again!

This home in Lake Toxaway NC, on Cardinal Lake is nothing short of perfect for a family get away, or anything else I could possibly imagine. The home itself, the furnishings, the amenities, the views, canoe and kayak, all combined for the most wonderful week. A plus is the dark sky for star gazing!

The property and home are outstanding. The views and surroundings are terrific. My wife and I travel often and have utilized VRBO properties across the county. This property is among the best, however, the only negatives include no king size bed in any bedroom, limited TV's, and limited instructions for the electronics in the home. I other quality homes we have experienced a detailed book of instructions for all appliances, electronics, and locations of controllers, etc. We would recommend something similar for this exceptional home.

Just returned from Casa de Yayo and can’t say enough about it! Plenty of room for a family of 6. The kids had a blast. Great location close to Sapphire & Cashiers. The house was immaculate, but nothing compared to the lake view! Can’t wait to book our next stay.

This property is gorgeous, inside and out!! Perfect for family get-sways & kayaking fun!
