Farm stay in Cullowhee

The Whee Farm Bro Haus Mountain Retreat

AlbertoRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Maggie and Jarod were great hosts, very friendly, and periodically checked if we needed anything during our stay. The apartment was amazingly clean and well stocked with all the essentials, including fresh farm eggs! The area is quiet and rural yet only a few mins drive from town, as well as trails and waterfalls. Definitelly one to keep on the list for a future longer stay.

We highly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the covered screened in porch, as it rained for much of our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Damien is helpful and friendly and responded quickly. Overall this is one of the nicer Air Bnb's we have stayed in. We will definitely be back and stay at one of his properties in the future.

The Happy Mountain Home

KimRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Carlos was a wonderful and attentive host. His well stocked cabin was beautiful and had everything that we needed. The pictures on Airbnb didn’t do the property justice. It is the perfect, peaceful mountain get away. I slept better than I have in a long time. One day, I hope to have a cabin just like this one. 💜

Mountain Meadow View Escape

KimaniRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A Slice of Heaven in the Mountains! We had the absolute pleasure of staying here and I can confidently say this was one of the most beautiful and peaceful getaways we've ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the home and property were. The house itself is impeccably maintained, warm, and welcoming—clearly cared for with love and attention to detail. Every space inside felt cozy and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout that made us feel right at home. But the view—wow. Pictures just don’t do it justice. Nestled in the rolling hills, the panoramic mountain vistas from the property are absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery is pure magic. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel relaxed and recharged! 10/10 recommend staying here if you get the opportunity!

Home in Highlands

Modern Mountain Stream Overlook

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great stay in Highlands! A few things to note - the mile drive after you get off the main road is gravel and there’s no service. There was also no Uber/Lyft but we were driving so no issues there. Just a couple things to plan for during your stay! Overall, amazing place, extremely clean, & great communication with host. Would 100% stay here again!
