Dream House
Our stay was so lovely, I wish we didn’t have to leave. The house is so beautiful and my favorite part was the covered patio. We sat outside at the fire table and watched the sun set. The proximity to downtown Franklin was great. We cooked most meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Also, the property manager Lin was very communicative and friendly. When I had a question, he responded immediately. I would absolutely come back!!

Christmas in June
We absolutely loved our stay at this mountain cabin for a long weekend. Lin, the property manager, was on top of everything and answered any small questions we had quickly and accurately. We were a little shocked to see the Christmas decorations up, but really grew to enjoy our Christmas in June! Every morning we woke up to a wonderful Christmas decor and instead of just saying good morning to our friends it was always, "Merry Christmas"! Great place and we have already booked again.

Feels like home!
From the moment you enter this home - you can feel the warmth - comfort and coziness. The owners truly put a lot of thought into the decor. We were there mid November so we definitely enjoyed the Christmas decorations and the wood burning fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were very comfy. The location is great - right between Franklin and Dillard. We will definitely rent this home again!

Deer Ridge House
The house was definitely a “Christmas House”. If you enjoy the Christmas Spirit - this will be great for you. Please know the house has ample room for a good size family. There are only two televisions in the house - Master Bedroom and Main Living room. There are no local channels but if you are familiar with streaming you will be fine. The property manager was extremely serviceable and responsive. The property is convenient to nearby restaurants and stores. And if you enjoy nature, you can see deer in the AM and PM hours.

Excellent fall vacation!
Beautiful home and setting for our family vacation. Nice neighborhood convenient to both Franklin, Clayton and Highlands. Home was in a nice neighborhood and had beautiful views of fall foliage in front and back of house. Christmas theme was a big hit, even in October. We enjoyed the large open living area as well as the expansive deck. The house was well appointed, and the property manager was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Perfect Christmas in July get away
This beautiful home was such a wonderful mountain retreat and decorated top to bottom for Christmas which thrilled our 22 year Christmas loving daughter. The home is fully stocked with every imaginable appliance, wonderful beds, and an amazing back deck with a gorgeous mouuntain view. The location is remote enough to feel like you've unplugged but still a quick drive to see the local atrractions. We spent the week visiting many of the beautiful waterfalls in the area. One of the most memorable vacations ever!

Beautiful setting but the property needs a lot of tender loving care
The house has great views. Although there are neighbors close by, it was very quiet. The cleanliness of the property was lacking for me. As soon as we arrived, I vacuumed the downstairs as there was clearly stuff on the floor. The property manager assured me it was cleaned two days before and mopped that afternoon, but for just being clean, there was dirt on the floor including pet food from a previous guest (kibble by the kitchen sink floor mat). I do not know how old the property was, but it needs a deep cleaning and interior paint for sure. It was a very dark house; my parents had a hard time seeing in the bathrooms. Lots of lights, chandeliers for beauty but not necessarily practical. The views from the deck were fantastic, but I just never felt clean when I was there. The host offered to have someone re-run a vacuum and mop, but we had already vacuumed and if someone were to come, we would have to be there (dog at the house) which would have disrupted our plans. I just wish the property was better taken care of. Even outside, the shrubbery was overgrown and not well maintained. Disappointed for the price we paid and the VRBO description says "NEW" - it must be NEW to VRBO, because it is not a new or recently renovated property.

Excellent home base for a mountain retreat!
We loved our time at the "Christmas House" as my 7-year-old nephew described it. It was the perfect setting for a family. The views were unbeatable - and the sunsets were incredible. We enjoyed eating dinner and playing games on the deck, watching the sun go down. Would highly recommend this home for a mountain getaway. Surrounded by nature, but still an easy drive into town. Lin was also an excellent host - very quick to respond to communications and helpful. Would definitely return to the "Christmas House."

Excellent property and host
This was an amazing property and I can't say enough about the host. We ended up wanting an extra night and within a few minutes the host was very accommodating and made it happen. The house was amazing! I was alittle concerned about the Christmas theme in June, but it was a perfect setting and made it feel like home. Peaceful and quiet. Will definitely make this place a reoccurring trip! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Family fun in the snow.
Property was very nice and very large with plenty of room for all to spread out. Beds were very comfortable and home was well stocked. It snowed while we were there and the view was breathtaking. Unfortunately the hill was a solid sheet of ice and snow and was impossible to go down resulting in us having to extend our stay by a day. With the missed work and the charge for the extra day, the trip was a good bit more than expensive than we planned for but overall it was a wonderful experience.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this house and the property management service. The house was just as described and to be honest, the pictures don’t even do it justice. It is spacious and well equipped. The view from the porch is most serene and where I chose to spend my downtime. The holiday decor was on point. Lin, with the property management group, was so informative, friendly and responsive. We will definitely return to this property!

Wonderful and Relaxing!
“Upscale Mountain Home w/Views” is the perfect description for this property. It is very peaceful and relaxing no matter if it rains, because the covered porch is perched high over the beautiful landscaped grounds. The views are spectacular and everyone including the natural lover will enjoy the hummingbirds, butterflies and even hawks. This property is in a terrific location for the golfer, hiker, water sports enthusiast, shopper or foodie. It is located in close proximity to downtown Highlands and Cashiers. The property manager was welcoming and the perfect host at all times, thank you Lin! Overall our experience was great!
