Cute Place!
This property was just what we needed for an overnight stay. There is plenty of room inside for the 3 bedrooms to comfortably accommodate our group. The house was clean and had all the basic ammenities you could need. Joy and Steeve were very responsive and helpful! I wish we could have stayed longer to explore the surrounding woods of the cabin!

Cozy cabin in the mountains
This cozy cabin in the woods was perfect for a weekend girls getaway. It provided seculsion while also being easy to get to and conveniently located near the downtown areas of both Cashiers and Highlands. We really enjoyed our time here.

Yellow Mountain Cabin
Cabin was easy in - easy out location. Location was half way between Cashiers and Highlands. Small cabin, but plenty enough room....with a lot of character! I wish we would have had longer to stay, but went up for a family member's wedding in Highlands.

Quiet and Comfortable get away
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, mostly because of the cool weather. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the setting is very peaceful. The only things we missed were any sort of view or an easy place to walk (other than the road.)

Charming Cabin
Great cabin for our family to relax after busy days exploring the beautiful area. As others have already mentioned, the kitchen is small, furniture is older, the downstairs bedroom has an open entry, and the fireplace gives off a smoke smell even when not in use. However, we expected all these things and had a very comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed relaxing and bird watching on the back porch rocking chairs and visiting the two horses across the street. We hope to visit again!

Quaint cabin
Exactly as advertised. 15 minute drive gets you to Cashiers or Highlands. Everything worked. Comfortable beds. Small but functional kitchen. Very clean. Did smell like a wood burning fireplace (since there is one) so sensitive noses take note. Would absolutely stay here again.

Cleanest property of any of my stays!
This property was just what we expected based on pictures and previous reviews. It has the character of a home of its age. And, yet you can tell that the owners take care of it. It feels solid, cozy and comfortable. Yes, the kitchen is small. However, it was entirely functional for basic food prep. We will stay again on a future trip

Peaceful Paradise
My wife and I were looking for a quick trip to get away for the weekend and just relax. The Cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. The rocking chairs on the back porch are the perfect cure for whatever ails you.
The cabin is remote, but its just a short drive to both Highlands and Cashiers. Lastly, the cleanliness of the cabin was great. We are already looking forward to returning when we can stay longer.

The cabin on Yellow Mountain is an adorable, beautifully decorated place that met our needs perfectly. In town for a wedding, but wished we booked longer just so we could chill on the front porch or do some hiking in the beautiful NC mountains. Would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

A Slice of Mountain Freshness
Unfortunately, on the day of our arrival, we were hit by a new driver about 5 miles from this beautiful cabin. Our car was totaled, and we spent most of our two day stay trying to get a rental so we could get home. That said, the cabin provided a place to collect ourselves, the primary bed creating a haven to recover from the shock and bruises of the accident, and a a base to relax. The cabin is SO cute and lovely in every way. The only surprise that I would mention is the that primary bedroom does not have a door. This surprised us, and for those that are highly private, it might be a concern. Absolutely loved out stay and am grateful for the mountain scenery and fresh air.
