"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, tidy, and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable. We brought steaks to grill and planned to cook and relax at the house on our first evening. The grill was excellent, but we did notice that there wasn't any seating in the backyard. A couple of stackable plastic chairs would have made it even more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone...

"My wife and I enjoyed our stay and loved the cabin. A little disappointed there was no recliner to relax in, but we were comfortable on the couch. This cabin is close to the Outpost (clubhouse) and most of the activities. We visited in the off-season, so there were very few people around. A lot of places were closed in Cashiers and Highlands, so not a lot of dining options. But the places we did eat at had very good food, (breakfast at the Blue Bike Cafe in Highlands is a must).
