Perfect Home For A Wedding Weekend
My friends and I attended a wedding and this cabin was perfect for all of the couples and single guests to stay in. It was very clean. The place was larger than expected from the pictures so we were pleasantly surprised. We were grateful for the early check! The hot tub with a view was another added bonus!

Perfect For Our Family
We loved everything about the house. Our family of 13 enjoyed the home and the surrounding area. We found this home at the last minute because of a previous reservation that had to be canceled in the Boone, North Carolina area. We were so pleased with this home that we would definitely consider renting it in the future. The house is actually so much better than the pictures portray it

Great house and location
We had a fabulous stay in highlands exploring local water falls, swimming holes, visiting the town, renting a boat on lake glenville and even going tubing on deep creek in Bryson city. The location was great, a few minutes to highlands and 15 min to Cashiers. We traveled with 3 families and we all fit comfortably in BlackBerry. Definitely recommend.

Perfect Highlands Getaway
My husband and I stayed here with our family including 3 adult daughters and one son-in-law as well as two babies under 2. The house was absolutely perfect! The bottom floor was perfect for our daughter with her husband and babies. The master suite was great for my husband and me and the top floor housed the rest. We had plenty of room to gather and really enjoyed the wooded property. One of the best houses that we’ve stayed in.

Very nice place and very clean. The only problem is it stayed cold downstairs…about 63 degrees. The upstairs thermostat did not seem to control it, as I was told.

True Southern Hospitality
The management company was very quick in response and helped with recourses that we wanted. They allowed me in early to prepare before the guests arrived. When the guests left some items were left behind so they contacted us to see how we would like to handle said items. Very friendly and eager to accommodate.

memorial day getaway
We enjoyed the location and the space was nice and very close to downtown highlands. The coffee pot was broken, the fireplace was (gas inside) only worked for a few hours after several attempts to get in touch with the property manager and the basement was not as clean as I would have liked. There were bugs/ants everywhere and I would consider the downstairs master more equipped for children than adults.

Lots of room, but tired
Pros: 1-close to town 2- very clean 3- modern bathrooms 4- comfortable beds 5-lots of space and privacy for multiple families 6-real estate company very reponsive and friendly 7-well equipped kitchen Cons: 1- furnishings are run down (kitchen cabinet door fell off, couldn't pull out trash can in kitchen cabinet) 2-porch cushions are old and ratty and there isn't enough seating out there 3-house doesn't have a view. It is in the woods surrounded by trees... nice and private, but you can't really see the mountains. Maybe in the winter? 4-ZERO wifi. It's not that it is slow, it does NOT exist. The IT guy came out and told us the way this house is wired it will always be a problem. We still had a great time. Could be a great home with some TLC.

Great weekend! Would go again!
We throughly enjoyed our stay at BlackBerry lane! Beautiful home with a fantastic view, amazing screened porch, large open common area with large dining room table, and downstairs game room for kids to play in! We loved that it was convenient to the towns of Highlands and Cashiers and really enjoyed the coffee shops and boutiques in both towns! The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived and the staff was easy to communicate with us and gave clear check-in and check-out instructions. Thanks for a great trip and Happy New Year!
