Decided to do this trip last minute during the Thanksgiving holiday and this stay was amazing! For our family of 4 this was the most user friendly stay. If you are a hiker/walker the water falls/trails are very close and the town center for any logistical needs is as well. Highly recommend to check in during daylight to get an initial lay of the land. My eastern NC family will be looking forward to staying again. We loved it and hopefully so will you.

The Highlands area is a magical setting, and a stay at Smallwood made it even more so. Correspondence with the owners and check in was cordial and effortless. The sylvan setting is beautiful and the home was designed to capture that vista from the large windows in the main residence. Smallwood is extremely well appointed with comfortable furnishings, abundant tasteful artwork, big screen TVs, and a kitchen equipped with quality dish and glassware along with everything needed to prepare and enjoy fine meals along with a glass of wine. The screened back porch is spacious and a perfect place to curl up with a good book on the swinging daybed while daydreaming overlooking the forest. There is great attention to detail provided by the owners in every respect and it shows pride of ownership in the property. The place is well maintained and absolutely spotless--the cleanest of any rental home where I've ever stayed. We utilized the garage apartment as well as the main house during our stay and found both to be very accommodating with quality toiletries and fluffy towels. The immaculate garage was also very welcome as we were there for a classic car show in Highlands. I would not hesitate to recommend Smallwood for anyone seeking a beautiful escape in a pleasant, quiet setting. It was an exceptional stay!

Realized I made an error in booking 30 seconds after I did so. Requested a refund immediately and it took 23 hours for Evolve to respond after many efforts to contact them. They refused the refund and denied date change request. Do not book...

Great house. Clean. Quite. One issue, steps to upstairs too steep and dangerous for older folks. We had to leave our suitcases downstairs. This needs to be in the notes on the house. . Thanks

We loved every minute of our stay at this perfectly-situated and well-appointed home. It was near town and close to a variety of hiking trails and waterfalls. The host was attentive, flexible and very easy to reach. The screened in porch was the perfect place to relax, and the extra apartment over the cottage was perfect for our young adult children to enjoy. We can't wait to return.
