I could not say enough good things about this rental. The owners have thought of everything, the instructions for the home and how to care for it were well laid out. Any concerns that may have been were addressed in the welcome letter. The owner was easy to reach and had quite the wealth of information about the area. If you’re considering this property, IT IS WORTH IT! The only thing I will note, is that the loft is not in a separate space, it is actually a landing outside of the top floor master. It didn’t affect our stay but we misunderstood and one of the couples had a less private sleeping area. (Our error) - there were plenty of paper products and linens. This house is well maintained and was more than ready for a group of 10 adults to enjoy. We will very likely stay here again! Thanks Marty!

Absolutely loved this studio apartment. It's tucked away, quiet, and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. Just a short drive or walk to the Skyline Lodge which has great food/drinks. Also a short drive to Main Street where you can shop all things local. The check in/out process was easy and the host was readily available. Will definitely be saving this listing for future vacations.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Marty was so responsive as well. The house is stunning - with beautiful balconies and porches all around to enjoy the fresh mountain scenery. It's also very close to everything we needed yet tucked away for a tranquil stay.

This property perfectly suited our wants and needs. It is convenient to tons of outdoor activities and the beautiful town of Highlands; all of which we enjoyed. The house was great. but as the weather was exceptional, we spent most of our time on the large outdoor covered porch. There we grilled, ate, and enjoyed each other's company before a cheery fire.

our family had a great week house is beautiful host is always available to assist

The setting for the house is ideallic - a perfect location in the mountain woods, but also minutes away from the lovely shops of Highlands. The house was immaculate. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was equipped for any meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful property for a large group. The owner is easily accessible and does everything to make your stay a great experience.

Wonderful property and host

A retreat experience within 10 minutes of downtown Highlands. Plenty of space to entertain inside and outside.

We really enjoyed our stay, and the cabin was fantastic. Very clean, spacious, and with all amenities. Communication with owner was above and beyond our expecations. The game room was a plus for our kids. I highly recommend booking for an amazing experience.

We booked months ago so we could arrange to have all children and grandchildren present for a long-awaited family vacation in the mountains. We know most homes look great in the photos, but this one fully met and exceeded our expectations. From the large master suites, to the impressive wood detail and trim, to the gas and wood burning fireplaces, large professional kitchen, to the massive wrap around decks, it was an instant hit with every family member. The house is built at the top of a down sloping yard so you get the feeling of living in a treehouse. Added bonus features enjoyed by all were the game room, zip line (kids only), and the large hot tub. We also rented the separate garage apartment which was spacious and well equipped. With access to the two car garage, supplied firewood, and two washer/dryer combinations, it had truly everything you could want in a mountain house to be enjoyed by a large group. We were able to walk to the newly-renovated Skyline Lodge and enjoy a fantastic brunch in what in the evening becomes the renowned Oaks Steakhouse. And, because it is only a short drive from town and located at the end of a long and winding road, you have a property with the unique combination of complete privacy yet very convenient to all in-town amenities. Also very important, the host, Marty, was very responsive to all questions concerning the property which is a big plus. You will not be disappointed if you choose to spend time at this wonderful home!

This home is gorgeous! You will stay in a beautifully apportioned adult treehouse with amenities that provide healthy engagement for the kids. The owners renovated this property with such love and care. The interior design could be featured in Architectural Digest. From the log accents, the tree branch railings, warm lighting, open windows that invite the beauty of the NC forest into every single room - this is the place for your vacation. A short trip to Highlands (5-10m), Cashiers (15m) and more waterfalls than you can possibly see. We loved the homemade dinners with the grandparents and long stories at the al fresco dining table. It was not only clean, the owners are responsive and helpful. The weather was perfect! The home is my new dream house. We were sad to return home to the non-idyllic day-to-day life. We hope to visit more often than once a year! Book this now! :)

The house was perfect for a family gathering. We had plenty of room. We loved the wrap around porch- especially the covered area with the outdoor fireplace and huge dining table. We spent most of out time out there! The kitchen was great- we cooked fabulous meals every night and ate outside at that great table. We really enjoyed our long weekend there.

The house is large, beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the gas fireplaces and the beautiful views. Would definitely stay there again.

This was a lovely home that was perfect for a family group that was coming from Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and Texas. The home provided everything we needed to relax, visit, eat all of our meals and prepare for the wedding. Thank you so much for the great communication. Once you get to the house it is easy to get back to everywhere you need to go and back again.

I really enjoyed my stay at this VRBO. It was comfortable and safe and I hope to return!

We loved this home! It was beautiful and had everything we needed. We cooked every meal in the gorgeous kitchen with every gadget imaginable. We stayed on the porch most of our time. My adult children and spouses said this was their favorite vacation ever! Didn’t hear much out of the kids…must have been entertained with all available. (My husband uses a walker and we entered and exited from the garage, so had no problems)

Spent the weekend with the family on spring break fly fishing in the mountains of NC, great house!

Lots of Sky was amazing! It was perfect for a couple of families. Everything was clean and in good working order, and the house was very well equipped. The views are amazing, and the location is hidden deep in the woods! The property owner was wonderful to work with and provided lots of information and excellent communication throughout the stay. We will be back SOON!

Girls' trip to Highlands and we really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful mountain house. Each bedroom had its own bath and that was great!

We loved this home. It was well appointed with comfortable beds. Close to downtown and had everything we needed. We had three generations there. With a master suite on the main level it was great for my mother in law. The kids loved the game room and zip line in the backyard. Marty was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. Very clean. Would absolutely stay here again.

House was wonderful. Very remote location which we loved yet only 10 minutes from store. Spent weekend at the covered outdoor fireplace with plenty of firewood. Hot tub was clean and wonderful.

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our son's birthday with family. The house was comfortable for a group with plenty of beds and multiple areas to gather. The kitchen range was very impressive- we enjoyed preparing meals together in the kitchen. We highly recommend this property.

This mountain property is perfect for a weekend get-away and exceeded all of my expectations! The home was in perfect condition, not to mention the view from the back porch! The hosts were also wonderful to work with and very helpful with any questions I had along the way. I hope to return soon!!

We loved our stay here! The house was very spacious with a master bedroom on every floor. Marty (the owner) was very responsive and kind. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!

The house was spacious, clean and very accommodating for our group. I can’t say enough good things about it and would love to rent again. We had a fabulous stay at Marty’s house!

Our family had a great time relaxing and enjoying our long weekend at this property. Owner is very responsive and the house is even better than the pictures. Beautiful home, beautiful property and a great time for the family😊

We loved the spacious rooms, all the outdoor seating areas, and fun things for the children to do.

We had a lovely stay. The cabin was well-equipped, roomy, and in a great location (only 10-15 min. from Highlands main street). And they even had it decorated for Christmas, which we especially appreciated, given we were there just before Christmas. The indoor gas fireplace, the outdoor wood fireplace, the gas grill, and the zipline were our family favorites. Plus the gourmet kitchen made making some family meals much easier!

This is a 5 star plus property. We had 9 adults staying at this property and the adjacent apartment. We did not lack for anything during our stay and did not have to contact the property manager for any reason. This home is more than adequately furnished and outfitted with everything you would need. Our extended group of 19 gathered for meals and family time and the outdoor spaces were spacious enough to accommodate. The owner/manager has anticipated every aspect of a perfect vacation rental , including beautiful Christmas decor and lights. We will definitely rent this property for future vacation needs.
