When I booked the cabin for an extended family Christmas, I figured we would have to do without a tree. I was wrong. Not only did the owner have a magnificent decorated tree in the living room, but almost every room of the house had little moments of Christmas on display. Then time and effort spent on decorating, made it feel like Christmas and made our family get together special. Not only did the owner decorate, she went out of her way to ensure that we could get packages delivered and was very responsive to questions we had to prepare for an extended family Christmas. As beautiful as it was with the decorations, I think the cabin will be equally as lovely once the holidays are over. The decor is so well done and the design is perfect for small or large gatherings. We had 4 couples and each had a room with their own en suite. There was also a half bath. The hot tub had a great view and the decks wrapped around the house so you could watch the sunrise and/or sunset. Since it was cold, we opted to watch the beautiful sis sets from the living room which offered fantastic views. We have stayed at many vrbos over the years and this cabin had the best kitchen we have ever seen. The. Best. We made large meals for the extended family and the kitchen had every appliance and utensil we needed, along with serving platters etc. There was a game area upstairs, but also a space downstairs to play. The cabin is close to Highlands, Cashiers and less than an hour from Asheville. Regardless of the season or your reason for going, is a well designed cabin with a thoughtful and responsive owner. We can’t say enough good things and will definitely be back.

Outstanding!
Great space inside and amazing views! Appliances and furnishings are excellent. 7 adults and two toddlers… plenty of space.
We were there for Thanksgiving, so did a good bit of cooking. Best equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. Great appliances and pots/pans/tools.

Buttercup Haven is a beautifully appointed home. Decor is high end and comfortable. Sparkling clean and attention to detail really made our family getaway special!! The views were breathtaking and ever changing. Margaret, our host, was easy to contact if we had any questions. Everything was perfect and comfortable. I highly recommend! I doesn't get any better!

We take trips to the mountains as a group every year (3 couples / 6 adults). We have stayed at various properties across western NC, eastern TN, and north GA. This one was far the best yet! Proximity to various towns, hikes, etc and the amenities were amazing. We actually cut our day out on Saturday a bit short because everyone wanted to return to the house and enjoy the views. We will definitely return and recommend Buttercup Haven in the future!

20th Annual Girls Getaway
Absolutely breathtaking property! Beautiful views of the mountains. Clean and tastefully decorated home. Margaret, the home owner, was easy to communicate with and was readily available if we needed anything. We all had a great time in the area, plenty to do. We chased waterfalls, went rafting, visited Biltmore and dined at some fantastic restaurants. We will be back! Buttercup Haven was the perfect home to stay in for our Girls Getaway!

Summertime Mountain Vacay
What an incredibly beautiful home and grounds! Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Breathtaking views of the mountains from 4 different comfortable porches perfect for gathering and sipping cocktails. Directions and check in were easy and well laid out. Would definitely rebook this property.

Beautiful Getaway
The scenery is fantastic with wonderful views all around the property. This home is decorated with much thought and great taste. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine for cooking better than any home I’ve vacationed in before. All the light switches are labeled which was very helpful. Beautiful vacation home.

There are 5 of us between the ages of 63 and 85, (this year) who have traveled annually for many years. Buttercup Haven was our best house yet. We had fantastic beds and bathrooms, great kitchen with everything one needs, outdoor seating for the full experience of the porches. And on and on…Franklin was close for groceries, the trash dump or gas. Margaret communicated well and even had a booklet with all information needed. Thanks so much for your lovely house!

Buttercup Haven is one of the most beautiful homes we’ve ever rented. The location is convenient to everything but also very private. Once entering the Featherstone development we didn’t encounter another person or vehicle the entire week. The views are spectacular in all directions. The home is excellently constructed, spacious and comfortable. It is also very tastefully decorated and the furniture and appliances are of high quality. The property and grounds are well maintained. Margaret, the property owner, was easy to communicate with and very attentive. We will definitely stay here again.

An incredibly getaway
I'm hesitant to share the secret that is this property because it's such a magical spot - beautiful home, beautiful location, deeply relaxing. Margaret was a kind and communicative host, the home was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the location couldn't be beat. You will not regret your stay here.

Great mountain getaway
Stayed here with our family over spring break and had a great time. The property is immaculate, has great views, is perfect for families, and has very nice amenities including the hot tub and fire place, which we used every day. This side of the mountains is slower paced but that was perfect for us as there is still plenty to do and the area isn't overdeveloped with cheesy tourist stuff. We had a very minor issue with the door code at check in and the host was super responsive and very nice. 10/10 would recommend this place.

Our women's hiking group found this house to be perfect in every way. Besides all the special touches throughout this beautiful house, we loved the mountain views in 3 directions, especially enjoyed the views from the hot tub including the lights of Franklin down below. The large dinning room table was great for shared meals and game nights and as an added bonus we enjoyed a beautiful sunset during dinner. The sleeping arrangements were perfect and the house is so open and roomy, each room offered privacy and enough separation everyone had plenty of space. We truly hope to be back soon!

This is one of the most beautiful houses we have ever stayed in with VRBO! Nothing was spared in this house. The kitchen is fully stocked, the linens on the beds, the decor is A+. The views are breath taking. Relaxing in the hot tub after a day of hiking is amazing. The host called to make sure we had gotten in and that everything was in order. We cannot wait to go back. We hiked in the Highlands and saw so many amazing waterfalls.

Buttercup Haven is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay so much. Margaret stayed in touch with me throughout the process and answered any questions promptly.

Beautiful property and unbelievable views!
Buttercup Haven is a beautiful mountain home. The pictures do not do this property justice. The views are breathtaking and the home was extremely beautiful. The home is stocked with anything you could possibly need but the grocery store and restaurants are a short 10/15 minute drive away. We did not want to come home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A little slice of heaven..The drive down the driveway was our first clue that this was going to be something really special. The gardens were beautiful and blooming! The view just at the corner of the house was panoramic and breathtaking. Enter the door and you didn't know where to look first. The gorgeous, beautifully appointed home with everything that you could ever ask for provided for your comfort and practical needs, or the 270 degree panoramic views that made you gasp. But let me be specific: The kitchen: a cook's dream! Well organized as well as stocked with family friendly dishes, adequate pots and pans, and utensils. The living area: Comfortable seating in several spots for dining or playing games, glass walled doors that brought those beautiful views to you at an eye lift. Large television to cover the whole living area so all could see and hear. Beautiful beams and architecture that left you wondering, "how did they do that?"
The Bedrooms: Each with a different personality but the same in comfort, luxurious bedding, and space. Bathrooms: Interesting designs in each one and more than adequate towels provided. Downstairs: two game room type places for kids to have a ball or sleep. Laundry room: Modern appliances--so appreciated. Porches: we wore them out. All of us, young to old, loved being out there to drink in the views, drink coffee, have a meal, soak in the wonderful hot tub.
We have stayed in a lot of cabins and this one exceeded our expectations. We felt welcomed and cared for by the owner even though we never met. But it was obvious that the hospitality offered here was more than just a rental. Her attention to every need you could possibly have had already been in mind and attended to. Thank you. We hope we can come back.

Awesome getaway!
It just doesn't get any better than this, and the property owner is a dream to work with! She made our anniversary trip so special in many ways. You don't feel like you are in a rental -- you feel like you are her personal house guest. No matter which way you turn, the views from any side of the home are stunning. And the home itself is stunning. What more is there to say that hasn't been said in past reviews? It is all true! Thank you Margaret for sharing your piece of paradise! Pam & Bill

A Slice of Heaven
This pictures of this property do it no justice. Once you arrive you will feel like you have just landed in a place that is not only magical, but equipped with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. We spent a wonderful week here with my family celebrating our parents 60th wedding anniversary and I can't think of anywhere that could have made it more special. From booking, to all the detailed information that Margaret provided prior to our arrival, we were well equipped to plan an amazing week. The house is spectacular with decks for coffee in the morning and wine at sunset. An evening soak in the hot tub with a view over the city tops it all off. If you are looking for a little slice of heaven, then this home definitely needs to be added to your must stay list!
