Convenient to hiking trails and waterfalls in the area. The road back to the house is very narrow with some rough spots, so take your time! Disregard the signs that say “turn around “ and “not welcome.” We felt very welcome, and will definitely consider coming back in the future. ##### Jennifer S.

We love this property. It is our second year back and we are already planning for a 3rd! Plenty of space for everyone, more amenities and improvements since our stay last year. Will keep coming back as long as we are able! ##### John W.

The views were amazing! The cabin was super clean and very well stocked. One of the best rental properties we've stayed at in a long time. Lots of room for families. The host and property manager were so great. Very quick to respond. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Lori H.

The house is incredibly equipped with everything you need. The grounds and views are beautiful. We enjoyed to close proximity to Highlands and Cashiers, just a short drive to the NC border. ##### Lainey N. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy M. 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property with a few quirks This home is situated on a beautiful, remote property. The views are outstanding. The layout is great and accommodated our large family group very well. It was not the cleanest property we have stayed at, and the wifi is not very reliable, so keep that in mind if you are planning to work or need internet. We had no issues with the neighbors. We loved seeing the farm animals across the street daily. ##### Amy M.

The gps navigated us directly to the place! The views were phenomenal and the house was impressive! The beds were comfortable and each room had its own bathroom! The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and all the things you would have at home at more. We enjoyed every bit of the home and only wished we had more time off from work to stay longer! The people are so friendly and Renata was wonderful and communicated very well! I highly recommend! ##### Leslie C.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the amazing views! The house is incredibly well stocked, the best I’ve been too as far as having every little thing you could think of. We had so much fun picking blueberries! We made blueberry pancakes each morning and blueberry cobbler for dessert! We drove to Secret Falls and did the apx 2 mile hike with a beautiful waterfall at the end you can swim to. Overall it was a wonderful stay! Renata is very thorough, kind and responsive! ##### Karissa A. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather C. 26 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view A beautiful house with a beautiful view too! Very well stocked kitchen and lots of games to play too! The “no airbnb or vrbo” signs posted along the way are a little unsettling and caused a delay in our family arrival, but we understand the owner does not control that. Located about 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store, but a great place to relax and unwind! Overall, a great house! ##### Heather C. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert G. 7 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Remote edge of Georgia This place was truly a jewel in the woods. Far enough and situated perfectly, once you arrive you are in a fairy tale location far from the modern world. The owners directions were in fact the most perfect I'd ever received which made the drive easy and predictable. Once in the cabin, provided you've brought food, there is plenty of equipment to prepare and enjoy. We could have moved in forever, it was that nice. ##### Robert G.

Our family of 14 have stayed in homes in TN, NC and GA. This was rated as one of the bed. Spacious deck for those evening family moments. Owner was very responsive and hospitable. Neighbors anti-rental vacationers are to be ignored. Great place with blueberry bushes! ##### George M.

Renata answered all of my questions. Due to my Verizon phone I could not make wifi calls. Others in the party with a different carrier had no issue. It was a great stay. Not too far from the Highlands where the wedding was held! I can’t wait to visit again!! ##### Beverly S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff A. 7 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Truly the Jewel of the Woods An absolute wonderful house and property for my family! We had three sets of adults and 6 children ranging from infant to seven years old. All of us enjoyed the house immensely. While the views from the back porch rivaled, if not exceeded other mountain homes we’ve visited, the unique property allowed our children to play outside safely. The home was stocked with the necessities plus more, including the kitchen. When we weren’t cooking on the Green Egg or sitting by a warm fire, we spent time in Highlands NC which was less than 20 minutes away. Overall this house was perfect and would highly recommend!!! ##### Jeff A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim W. 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great get together house in secluded area. The house is warm and friendly with lots of space. Plenty of cooking utensils and a good sized kitchen. Large family style farm table for serving meals. Spectacular view of the mountains off of the rear decks. We had 8 adults in our party and the spacious kitchen, living room, dining area and outdoor spaces had ample room for all. The only downside to our stay was when the well water system failed and we had to leave a day early. The owner was very apologetic and is going to refund one days stay. We highly recommend this mountain house and we would stay there again. ##### Jim W. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn B. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat Coming from Richmomd, VA, the drive over was breathtaking. Our family who tagged along were not used to mountain roads and needed anti-nauseous meds for the travel to town and back. Our gps directions to get to the property were incorrect and got turned around on Three forks trail. There were signs from neighbors saying " not welcome". A kind neighbor pointed us in the right direction and were delighted with the amazing accomodations and views. We made sure to experience all that the house provided and the nature around us. This house is quite amazing; giving you a choice to unplug and the wifi to keep you connected (or give kids quiet movie time while the adults relax on the balcony). Our family is definitely going to visit again. ##### Lyn B.

The property and home are beautiful. The road leading up threw us off due to the “vrbo not welcome” signs posted along the way. ##### William S.

Matches the pictures if not better. Cabin is in very good shape with lots of extras including those blueberry bushes which the entire group enjoyed.Road into area is windy and gravel for quite a stretch but a Toyota Camry had no issues.Do understand that cell phone coverage isn't just spotty at the cabin but starts 15-20 minutes out but honestly isn't an issue once you get wifi on-site. Wifi was weak at times but once again not a showstopper. ##### James H.

We had a great time at Jewel Of The Woods. The home was clean, comfy and a short drive to the Highlands. The owner has the property stocked with pretty much everything you could ever need, which was fantastic. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to the area! ##### Barry V.

We spent most of our time just visiting and relaxing on the peaceful deck. The mountain air and views was refreshing. The home is clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed. ##### Bradley B.

House is very spacious and has an excellent open floorplan to promote group gathering on main floor, yet provides privacy for individuals/couples on the second and lower floors. If "life in the country" is what you want, the "Jewel of the Woods" will not disappoint. ##### Perry J.
