My wife, my 6 year old, and I had a wonderful week long stay at the High Carolew. At the top of a peaceful mountain in a private community was the best view and complete peace and quiet. The cabin is well stocked with absolutely everything you will need and is homey and feels lived in and family oriented. There was plenty of fire wood and everything you will need. The hot tub worked perfectly and we enjoyed the fire pit as well. We were at the top of a mountain but also within an hour of three towns we visited: Brevard, Cashiers, and Hendersonville. We also went on 5 hikes to 5 different waterfalls that were all within 30-60 minutes drive. The location was just remote enough to get the quiet and privacy we needed but close enough to Brevard and the other small towns to enjoy lunch out almost every day. We stayed on the main level of the cabin and enjoyed the fireplace the majority of the time, but there is a downstairs that we used for darts and pool. It's not necessarily a dedicated game room, but instead is in the basement. My 6 year old loved the darts! We explored the neighborhood and the grounds and loved to hang out outside. There is a sunset every night from the deck and you can also view the sunset from the hot tub. The mountain views are even better than the pictures and they change daily based on the weather. I highly recommend Brevard, Hendersonville, and Cashiers as towns to visit. We never made it to Highlands, but it is only about an hour away. One note for those using Google Maps to arrive. Google Maps will take you to the South entrance of the community via a private Camp entrance. This is not the entrance you should use to enter the community. The north entrance off of highway 178 is much more convenient and closer to Rosman. We were lucky to learn this, as it cut off some drive time when we went for hikes. Bubba was a fine host and left us some goodies to enjoy when we arrived. He was very personable and checked in on us often. Overall, great stay that the family enjoyed!

We had a nice time at this beautiful property. The home was well stocked and very comfortable. The owner even left a welcome basket with some wonderful goodies for our family. A very nice treat!

Our second stay at this truly majestic, well appointed property. You will want for absolutely nothing when you visit. The owner makes sure that you have the most amazing, comfortable stay and we will be back again and again!

Beautiful home with great views. Very well stocked kitchen with lots of room to spread out for our family. We all enjoyed the pool table, darts and fire pit. We missed out on seeing bears this trip but did enjoy watching deer and white squirrels. Highly recommend.

High Carolew met our expectations and more. It was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our anniversary. The views were breathtaking. We even saw black bears (safely) from the porch every evening. Great location for hiking tails and water activities. Bubba was a very hospitable and generous host. I can’t recommend this place enough.

A most splendid view that photos simply cannot capture... Fog in the morning lifting to reveal the mountains and lake... and rolling back in in the evening like a blanket. The bears come and visit at dusk... the cicadas sing all evening.The house is a home. We felt welcome from the moment we stepped in... The kitchen is the perfect size to cook and entertain... The bedrooms are comfortably sized with good beds and soft, fresh linens... The bathrooms are clean and stocked with lots of towels! The hot tub is a. fantastic addition to the property and the perfect place to unwind after the day's adventures.Bubba is a gracious host. He made certain that we had the best time possible [there was even a little birthday surprise in the kitchen] and responded quickly to any questions that we had. We had a fabulous time and plan to book again!

We enjoyed our 3-night stay. Bubba is very helpful. The views from the porch are amazing. It is a great place to sit, listen and see incredible wildlife. We had several bear visitors including a Mama and her two adorable cubs. The house was well stocked.

We enjoyed our stay in Bubba's beautiful home. It is in a peaceful, secluded location. We loved seeing the bears and white squirrels off the back deck. Bubba is a great person to rent from. He is very kind and thoughtful and easily accessible via text. The home was well stocked.

Perect long weekend getaway. Spectacular view!!! Near Pisgah, Dupont and Brevard. Bubba was a great host!

This property is located in a beautiful mountain neighborhood near sassafras mtn. It is very well maintained! The kitchen is well stocked with all your cooking needs. The bedrooms were very comfortable. However, it is listed as having room for 12, we were only able to fit 8 adults comfortably. The hot tub is a very welcoming amenity and it was clean, hot and ready to go! The view off the back is unmatched. All in all, we most certainly enjoyed staying here and would definitely rent here again!

Words can not describe our vacation. It was perfect and the pictures did not do our stay justice. It was even more beautiful in person. The hospitality of Mr Bubba was priceless. We had everthing we needed and more. The snacks, milk, cereal, coffee, tea etc, just added to our stay. We felt the love and appreciation from the owners right from the start. The outdoor hot tub was perfect with a view of the mountains and unhindered view of the stars. The master bedroom and bathroom could not have been better. To wakeup looking out over the mountain tops was as if it was a dream. Bubba went further to make sure we had fire wood for our stay. But if you don't like the real deal the exceptional downstairs living room ( with the same view) had a gas fireplace. This was the perfect stay for my family, if Bubba allows us we will be returning! Thank you for sharing your family home with us. Thank you for making us feel welcome. Thank you for making a dream come true by making your home feel to us as if we now have a part in it, hopefully for years to come.

From the very first inquiry about renting this beautiful home, we felt like we were talking to family. Bubba made the entire process so easy, efficient, and perfectly amazing. This well appointed and beautiful home offers visitors every comfort of home, including all linens and towels for the relaxing hot tub. We will be back again and again. Best VRBO experience EVER!!! 💕

I can’t say enough good things about this rental. Bubba (the owner) was absolutely terrific from the beginning to the end of our visit. In fact, he reached out to us immediately after we booked his home given us his contact information, general directions to the house, and some alternate contact information in the event he could not be reached. More importantly, he made us feel not only welcome but like part of the family. He’s a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to deal with. As for the property itself, the first word that came to everyone was Wow. The pictures certainly are a good depiction of the home, but there’s just no way that they could have captured the amazing view of the valley/mountains behind this property. It really was breathtaking and one of the most peaceful places I have ever visited. So if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay, with amazing views, and nature abound, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

The High Carolew does not disappoint. Tons of space inside to both socialize and relax. Kitchen has great counter space and a nice bar setting, allowing mingling with food preparation. Living room has lots of comfortable seating space surrounding the fire and TV. The wrap around deck is awesome, with great views and all sorts of options for relaxing outside. We came in late February, early March--but I would definitely utilize the outdoor area even more with warmer weather. The rear-deck hot tub is perfectly set up for mountain or star gazing. If making a real fire isn't your thing, the gas fireplace downstairs gives you another option for relaxing. Beds and bathrooms are all good size, and the house came fully stocked for our needs. Top marks go to our host, Bubba, who provided a warm welcome as soon as we booked, and he responded quickly to any questions throughout the stay. Great place for kids or an adult group to disconnect and relax for a while.
