AirBnB Transferred Review

by Brett T

Wildcat's Lair was a great rental for my family of six. The kids really loved the bunk beds and TVs in all of the rooms and we really were happy with the kitchen and the supplies for cooking/grilling. It was very comfortable for our family, very nicely decorated and beautifully landscaped. The location was convenient, easy to get to Highlands and Cashiers and the communication with any needs was very quick. I would stay here again for sure!

VRBO Review - "Summer Getaway to the Mountains"

by Cory J

This property is a must do! From the time we arrived we felt right at home. The home is centrally located to all the areas in which we visited. The home is very well maintained and allowed us to stay connected to our business (via wifi) while being away on vacation. We will be rebooking again in the future.
