If you're looking for a nice cabin away from the crowds, and a way to disconnect from everything, this is the place. The owner, Jerry, built this cabin at the end of a long, winding, single-lane road. There are neighbors nearby but you can't see or hear them. The air is crisp and the views are very nice.
Jerry took the time to call us the day before check-in and provide supplemental driving direction which we were glad we had because GPS was sketchy in spots and both ATT and Verizon service are not reliable as you get closer to the cabin. Jerry was also kind enough to wait for us to arrive 2 hours later than we had anticipated.
Once there, he provided all kinds of area information for hikes, restaurants, and other things to see and do. He showed us all the features of the cabin and helped us with luggage. One of the neat features are the chainsaw carvings of owls in the trees and the one large totem by the entrance to the cabin.
Unfortunately, it rained the entire time we were there so we couldn't take advantage of Jerry's insights about the area, but we made the best of an amazing DVD collection and watched a lot of movies and listened to the rain. So be prepared if you book - there is no Internet, WiFi, non-existent cell reception (Verizon had 1 bar) and no TV. It was perfect for us to watch movies, read books, and simply connect with each other.
Cashiers is about 15 minutes away and Highlands about 30 minutes. We took advantage of both towns and enjoyed some great restaurants in both locations. Driving back at night can be a little scary but I think that was because of the rain and low clouds blanketing the road.
We had a great time and look forward to trying again next fall - hopefully without the rain!
