Cabin was spotlessly clean and had the MOST comfortable furniture. The front porch is a haven. There are multiple outdoor sitting areas, including a fire pit on the side of the house not pictured on VRBO, which we enjoyed. There are string lights in the outdoor areas, which makes for a cool atmosphere at night and helps you get around in the dark. The property was big enough to keep my 12-year-old son busy, but close enough that I didn’t worry. The creek pavilion is really amazing, I wish we had gotten to enjoy it more, but it was a short trip. There’s a heater there which we didn’t even turn on, but would make for a nice nighttime hangout spot. There are also two fire pits in this area, right next to the creek. The creek itself was small but beautiful, trickling over rocks. No “swimming hole”, but it would be fun to play in in the summer. The house is in a neighborhood, and while we were aware that others were around, we barely heard any cars and never heard a human voice. It was very peaceful. Beds were very comfy. No barking dogs to wake us up in the morning, which has been an annoyance for us at many other mountain rentals. Highlands is the cutest little town with many amenities, and is very quick and easy to access from the cabin. This is a very convenient location for exploring the area, which is beautiful and rife with waterfalls! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return!!

We’ve stayed in the wonderful cabin several times. Can’t wait to go by again!

Great location, great house, great property. Really enjoyed our time. Would recommend!

Had a great time at this cozy, cute home. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin! Perfectly decorated and had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. It was secluded, but so close to town and several hiking/waterfall spots. For a pet friendly house, it was exceptionally clean. Our Huckleberry, enjoyed running around the large property.

Loved this cabin. Everything about it was just so perfect and comfortable, so much attention to detail, and beautifully appointed. I love staying in rentals that are more than just rentals and income properties but lived in and loved in family homes❤️

This was the second stay in this great cabin for my wife and me. Cozy, welcoming, great fireplace, and perfectly located for exploring Highlands and hiking!

This place is very well thought out! Has everything you can think of. The cabin is cozy and very clean. We enjoyed spending time at the pavilion on the creek and walking through the trails. We can’t wait to go back!

We loved our stay here! We were in town for business and we opted for a cabin instead of hotel - best decision we made. You can tell the owners love this place - meaningful touches everywhere. The bathroom towels were luxe and the kitchen stocked well! Hope we can return one day.

I took my family of four to spend a couple of nights in the cabin. We were looking for a nice getaway where we could distance ourselves from others and enjoy time together. Every detail is attended to within the cabin, and it’s a wonderful mixture of modern and rustic. We were able to easily get to downtown Highlands, hike and explore waterfalls. The property also has hidden gems in the backyard: treehouse with swing and a covered loft/marina with ample seating where you can lounge and enjoy the natural beauty and the sound of water.

Gathered with family at this lovely cottage. Hosts were extremely helpful. Weather couldn’t have been better.

Perfect weekend get away spot. Old home but clean and simple for a no stress weekend. Great location for exploring the Highlands area. Our dogs and boys loved wandering the property. The creekside fire pit and covered patio are a great relaxing spot.

Had a wonderful time in Highlands and this house was a perfect place to stay. Not far from top, but secluded enough. Loved the tree house and back house pavilion! Well stocked, clean, comfortable, great fireplace!! Will definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The kids loved exploring the property.

Was a super cute cabin and great location to town. We loved all the amenities and quick drive to town to experience all the Christmas decorations and fine dining experiences. Would love to stay here again. Had a wonderful weekend.

Moonshine Creek Cabin was very warm, welcoming and cozy. It is the perfect mountain cabin for a quiet get-away. Whether sitting in the well decorated living area, sitting on the very quaint, comfortable porch, shopping in the incredible shops of Highlands, eating wonderful food in some of the many restaurant choices, or hiking and exploring the many beautiful nearby trails and waterfalls, there is something for everyone in this perfect VRBO destination! Loved our time here!

The cabin was cozy and quiet, perfect for an anniversary getaway. We also loved that it was just less then 5 minutes from town. We would stay again.

This is our third visitTo this lovely cabin nestled in a rhododendron garden. Decorated so nicely, this is definitely the place to come and unwind. A large fireplace, comfortable furniture and other amenities make it difficult to leave the cabin and grounds. However, when you do, the main town is less than five minutes away. We love it here. M&H👍👍👍👍👍

the property was perfect for our family, two kids two dogs, for a magical Christmas. Kids loved the tree house and fire pits, mama loved the porch swing. Short distance to town that was beautifully decorated complete with ice skating. Lots of fun restaurants and cute shops. would love to come back in the spring.

The owners of this cabin have done a masterful job in creating a comfortable, spotless, and charming retreat. We loved the family room with its large fireplace and comfortable furniture, the front porch, and the creekside pavilion with fire pits. Everything could not have been more wonderful! We found ourselves cutting short shopping and hiking in order to come back to the cabin to enjoy it more. Thank you for an excellent vacation!

This cabin is the perfect place for an amazing mountain get away. It’s cozy, beautifully and tastefully decorated, furnished with EVERYTHING you need or want!

Cabin was charming and just as described. Our 2 boys ( 5 & 8) loved exploring the property, finding surprises and treasures all around. We barely had to leave, but did enjoy fishing and a canoe ride on Mirror Lake. Cabin was comfortable, clean, charming and had everything we needed. Hope to go back again sometime!

Fancy = no. COZY = YES, YES, YES!!! We sooo loved this rustic but adorable cabin & property in the woods. We felt nestled away, but close enough to the charming town of Highlands (with fabulous shops & restaurants) - about a 10 min. ride through winding, wooded neighborhoods. We were ***especially*** impressed with how responsive the owners were when we had a few questions, before and after our stay. There are *so* many special touches to this property: the cozy front porch complete with porch swing and comfy chairs; the gazebo by the creek; the tree house for kids; the canoe on Mirror Lake; *and* the charming little walking trails behind the house. There are tons of things to do in this area - we especially loved our 3-hour "Highlands Excursion" guided open-jeep tour on our first day - to help acclimate us to the area, as well as our zip lining at Highlands Aerial Park!! We totally hope to return one day - and will definitely stay in this charming property, when/if we do so! We HIGHLY recommend it!

Everything was great except it did smell like smoke...

Great little cabin on a beautiful piece of property. Really enjoyed the fireplace and the covered deck out by the creek.
