High Pond was a lovely and well laid out home. We stayed here for a girls’ getaway. The location was excellent. We were right outside of Highlands.The house is beautifully decorated and has beautiful spaces. The porches and patio were great. Everyone was able to spread out. Check in and out were easy and efficient.

Really a great place. Very well stocked, and most importantly clean. All of the basic provisions were there - which is unusual but so nice (toilet paper, paper towels, salt, pepper, etc). The view is lovely and its not too far from Highlands. I will definitely stay here again.Transaction was easy.

Loved it!! Just a wonderful property and well equipped with games and any kitchen gadgets you could possibly need. Wonderful fire pit and downstairs game room! Great plan because each bedroom has its own bath. Screen porch is fantastic and you can just rock and look at the lake! We took my Mother with us to celebrate her 95th Birthday! I rented this house because you can walk right in the step less front door entry. Great for her walker. The master on the main floor had a bathroom with a walk in shower which was very convenient for her as well. Great week and thank you!They were prompt and helpful! Loved the basket with extra toothbrushes and soaps for washing dishes and clothes.

This home is beautiful! We loved the set up. The beds were comfy and all the living spaces have been thoughtfully designed. It was well stocked with everything we needed including board games that made for some rainy day fun. We had a lovely relaxing stay in the mountains. We would definitely stay here again! We loved it. We had a wonderful socially distanced spring break. The home is lovely. We hated to leave!The check in/check out process was extremely easy. The property was beautiful and clean. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Beautiful house, in a gated community, very quiet and beautiful surroundings. The property has space for everyone to spread out if you are with your family. Loved the downstairs den, great games, TV and space to have fun. Kitchen is not large but has every amenity that you could need and a large table for family gatherings.

Great stay! Enjoyed the porches, both the screened in porches and the stone patio. Our little one loved sitting next to the water feature off the side patio. Well stocked in terms of utensils and cooking items. Beds were comfortable! Home was well maintained and beautifully decorated. We also saw a mama black bear and her two very young cubs in the woods near the house on our last afternoon. Great location between Highlands and Cashiers. Overall very happy with our stay.

Review from Nancy

The property perfectly fit our familys needs. This is an outstanding property in a wonderful small mountain lake neighborhood. The house is well designed and beautifully decorated with all amenities. We enjoyed a family getaway with our young adult children and the layout of the house was perfect. The location is close enough to Highlands to enjoy shopping, dining, etc. but we also felt the privacy of a beautiful mountain lake setting.  We'll have to return when its warm enough to use the beautiful screened porches and patio with the fireplace! Thank you for your help before, during and after our stay. The Christmas wreath and mantle decorations were a nice touch.

The High Pond Cottage is in a very convenient location to town. Just a short drive to Main Street but far enough away for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting. The house is gorgeous and well furnished and decorated. We would love to stay at High Pond again! The pictures don’t do it justice! The team was very accommodating in letting us check in early and checked to make sure all was ok after the strong winds that came through on our last nights stay.

David and Lori were very easy to work with and accommodating to the fact our plans changed at one time after our initial booking. They kept us up to date on things and getting to their office and their offer to be available at any time throughout our stay was comforting.
