Beautiful Views
We had an amazing anniversary trip here. We brought our dog along, which made the gated porch a really nice feature for us. The location is great, as well, near a lot of different hikes. The views were beautiful and we were able to grill and drink our morning coffee out on the porch. We were also able to use the fireplace in the evenings, which was made for a lovely ambience. We would definitely come back again!

Thanksgiving Getaway!
This cabin was the perfect getaway for our Thanksgiving trip! The house is comfortable and with a roaring fire in the stone fireplace, it was the coziest place ever! It's convenient to anything you need (even a Starbucks!) and plenty of nature literally right outside your door! The location is close to hundreds of hiking trails, mountain biking and road cycling. The town of Cashiers is loaded with cute shops and restaurants and a great grocery store. We loved our stay and look forward to going back in the future!

Disappointed
The outside view and area was beautiful but the house/cabin was not. It seemed very neglected. Missing remotes, clocks with dead batteries, old musty smell, no full length mirror, dryer doesn’t work well. Main bathroom was gross. Beds were comfortable though, but would not stay there again or recommend it.

Perfect Lazy Weekend
Great spot to just relax, build a fire, lay on the sofas, and look out at the great mountain view. Even in off season it was a great distance view of the mountains. Grill was great for grilling steaks. The bed was very comfortable. Ready to come back and be lazy again.

Perfect & Cozy
Property was super clean and prepared for us to come in cold weather. The main living area is cozy and perfect size. We didn’t use the upstairs as it was just two of us. Good location, 15 minutes to Cashiers and 30 minutes to Highlands. We also went to Asheville and it was about 1 1/2 hrs. Lisa is very communicative and easy to work with. We had a great stay.

Great cabin
This Cabin was everything and so was this area. The cabin is in a perfect location central to the waterfalls and hiking trails in the area. The cabin is spotless clean and has everything you need. I have been exploring the wnc area for 20 years and this is the best cabin I have stayed in. Lisa is very easy to work with. Will visit again soon thanks Lisa

Beautiful property, conveniently located. Great communication with the owner. The deck and the view are the best part. Some additional lounge seating on the deck would be great. Inside and outside are in need of maintenance. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Great host and Beautiful location
We stayed here for the 3 day MLK weekend and it was gorgeous. It ended up snowing 14 inches and we got stuck for an additional night and Lisa was so gracious and wonderful in working things out with us! I haven’t had a better host! Seeing the mountains and everything with so much snow, a wood burning fireplace and some hot chocolate was just perfect and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Lovely mountain getaway
We just spent 3 nights at Hickory Heaven and truly enjoyed the home and surrounding areas. We walked the lake perimeter, viewed many waterfalls, had a delicious dinner at Canyon Kitchen, and relaxed on the deck overlooking the gorgeous hillscape. The Maxwell's were very responsive and excellent hosts. The one thing that would really make this house an all around 5-star would be some renovations in the bathroom - it's time for a fresh coat of paint, new tub, etc. Would we go back? Absolutely!!
