Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Great Smoky Mountains

Wonderful, clean home in a beautiful town! Hosts left very helpful instructions and we felt right at home. House was very well stocked with towels, coffee, etc. Would recommend!!

Had a wonderful time this weekend and plan to come back. Couldn’t have asked for a better location and a wonderful caretaker of the property. We were treated like family immediately. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay all around. Phil and Ryan - thank you again!

Was a great place to spend the night... all of the rooms and furniture were great. Loved it...

It is such a beautiful home and very secluded. We had an amazing week staying there and hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. The home had a great sound system and hot tub which really put it over the top. The no WiFi made you really disconnect from everything and enjoy the views. Overall a great place to just relax and enjoy nature.

I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

Loved our stay here! The house is tucked away, but just a quick drive to everything in the highlands. The house is impeccably clean, spacious, comfortable, and beautiful Marlee was incredibly accommodating in letting us check in early to get ready before a rehearsal dinner. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with! I got major kudos from my friends for finding this gem!! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very clean and quiet home. Our stay was great we had beautiful views. Sadly we didnt spend alot of time in the home as we were visiting family. Great vacation home if you just want to relax and get away.

It was such a peaceful stay

Don and Renie’s place was perfect for my weekend getaway back to WCU. As a host, Don was perfect and accommodating. The views were spectacular and the amenities provided were superb. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to visit WCU.

Clean, well decorated, everything was labeled and stocked. Plenty of towels, pillows, sheets, etc. Would love to stay here again! Hidden gem.

Very nice accommodations in a wonderful setting. Tough to beat value! We were very satisfied, and would return in a heartbeat for our next visit to the Leicester area.

The home was nice, no complaints, would stay again. But the stars here are the hosts. I was here for Hurricane Helene. The storm damage was honestly minimal compared to what I would later see in some of the harder hit areas, but I was blocked in by a small mudslide for just a day or so. The hosts happened to be out on vacation, but even through the cellular disruptions, they managed to maintain constant contact and coordinated assistance from neighbors. They took care of me like family.

Wonderful place to stay, had just about about everything we needed. Hot tub was extremely nice and being by the creek was so peaceful. Back porch did not lead us directly to the creek but we were able to walk around the whole unit which led us straight there. I would book again :)

Tony and Barb's place was perfect for my overnight stay. I loved sitting outside in the screened in porch while sipping my wine. I would definitely stay there again and since it's a fully furnished 1 bedroom apt, I would book a longer stay as well.

Very nice apartment, private with well marked entrance. Apartment was very clean, and the king bed and sofa bed very comfortable. I intend to stay there again on next trip to Windrock.

Close to everything, absolutely beautiful view. This place is worth every penny. Comfortable furniture, easy to get to, close to Waynesville and Asheville. My only complaint (and this is entirely personal preference) is the artificial fragrance used on the sheets/towels was very strong. I have asthma and allergies and found it a little overwhelming. But again this is personal preference and doesn’t take away from this beautiful place. Thank you Jose!

This place was great! It was nice to plan a surprise trip for some of my family and they all really enjoyed this private castle in the woods. The hosts were great and responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. We were able to conveniently go to a few smaller towns nearby and we would definitely return.

Eric was a wonderful host. Directions were very clear and understanding. Although the thermostat is split , Eric was very understanding an adjusted as needed. Great location and get away spot for couples. Very quiet and secured . We will definitely come back!

This place is a great stay for anyone looking for a place centrally located in the Cashiers/Sapphire area. Easy and scenic walk around lake Fairfield. Great Mountain View from back patio. Easy access to Sapphire National Golf Course. The place is very spacious with room to spread out for the whole family and it is equipped very well. Roland is responsive and checked in on us periodically to make sure everything was well. I highly recommend staying here!

We stayed for four nights. The views from this home are more incredible than any picture could capture. We stay in many rental homes when we travel. This is the most well appointed kitchen we’ve ever used. Communication with the host was easy and rarely needed. Lots of great instructions on how to do things around the house. And the space was just simply beautifully decorated. I wanted to spend time with my family in a beautiful home with a breathtaking view. This home did just that! Thank you for sharing your home.

We had an excellent and very relaxing stay, it was a birthday surprise for my husband, he was excited and very happy, the Cypress villa is very beautiful and the mountain views are excellent, waking up with the view of the mountains and the clouds in the sky is the most relaxing, and Julie is an excellent host she was always very attentive to all the details and answered all my questions very quickly, I definitely highly recommend this villa

The best part about this was at the host were very responsive on all inquiries. The house was beautiful and just perfect for our large group to each have their own bathroom and bedroom lots of room and activities for the kids such as the indoor pool and the arcade games! Overall great experience! We did need the hot tub cleaned during our stay because they don’t use chemicals so they had to drain the hot tub and fill it back up, but luckily it was heated very quickly same day. Again, very responsive and overall very happy and will come back again.

“Perfect Mountain Retreat for Our Group!” Our recent stay at this cabin in Highlands, NC, was absolutely amazing! The property exceeded all our expectations. We were a group of 10 friends. The space was perfect for us. The living areas were spacious enough for all of us to hang out together, yet there were also plenty of cozy nooks for anyone who wanted a bit of quiet time. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook meals for a large group, and we loved gathering around the dining table to share stories and laughter. The outdoor space was a highlight—gorgeous views, a fantastic deck, awesome hot tub and plenty of seating to soak in the serene mountain atmosphere. The location was ideal, close to charming down downtown Highlands and Cashiers with great restaurants and shops, as well as beautiful hiking trails. The hosts were incredibly responsive and ensured everything was perfect for our stay. Highly recommend this cabin and these hosts!

We had a great stay and were verry happy with the rental. Everything was clean and orderly and well equipped.
