  Annual fall mountain vacation to see leaves changing. Enjoyable cabin with good location, view, and comfortable. I would consider again and have stayed in many cabins in Maggie. Issues encountered were could not light gas fireplaces but central heat sufficient. Low water pressure but sufficient. Bring your own streaming device which I always do. Ice maker not connected to water so consider trays or bag.

  Deborah W from Jupiter, FL recommends this vacation rental

  This house was exactly as advertised plus so much more. The most amazing part was the view from the porch with its comfortable swing and rocking chairs. We practically lived on that porch. The furnishings were rustic and comfortable. Everything in the kitchen worked and the gas grill on the porch was clean and easy to use. It rained a couple days during the week we were there but we didn’t care...there was plenty to do in the house, from the pool table and large tv in the basement and the books and puzzles on the top floor. Honestly, I just wanted to sit on the porch and watch the clouds move over the mountains. The beds were comfortable and it was so nice having a bathroom for every bedroom. Everything was well laid out and comfortable.

  a guest from Williamston, NC recommends this vacation rental

  This was our 3rd time staying at this cabin. We love the location and the amenities. The views are beautiful and we had a very relaxing stay. Our only complaint on this trip is that we didn't have access to regular TV stations. We could access Netflix and a few other streaming sights but not local TV. My dad is 80 and enjoys watching the news and at the time of our stay the Olympics were beings held. It was disappointing that he wasn't able to watch while we were there. Overall we loved our stay and we would definitely stay there again. Everything was clean and there had even been renovations since the last time we were there.

  Andrew W from Charlotte, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, we had a great time at High Hopes. The view was amazing, watching the sunrise right in front of the house over the valley. The house itself was pretty easy to find and not too far off the main road, grant it up a steep side of a mountain, but that is how you get the views. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the HUGE wrap around deck. Sitting on the rocking chairs watching the hummingbirds and even listening to the rain. They even had a location to put up a hammock on the deck, which we happened to bring ours, so that was nice! The TVs were also upgraded from the photos with now two large flatscreens, one on the main floor and one in the basement.
  There were some things that could have made things better. First was the number of plates, definitely could use another 8 place setting. There were only 5 of us and we could have used more at times. Most of the plates were chipped too. Maybe having some more plastic plates for kids would be good too. More cups would be nice too, again some more plastic ones for the kids too. A few more blankets to snuggle up in would be nice, but not sure that is possible with the management company. The linens for the pull-out couches did have stains on them and could be changed out by the management company.
  Finally, the AC on the top floor basically doesn’t exist. During the summer (when we were there) we had to freeze out the first two floors to cool off the top floor due to very few vents. In the winter this probably wouldn’t be much of an issue. The cabin could be cleaned better as well, dusty headboard, socks found around, and a used bar of soap left behind. We reported to the management company that the Ice Maker wasn’t working in the refrigerator and the drain plug in the master bathroom was missing. They never responded to my email during our stay, but we did not call. There was no started kit of soaps in the bathroom nor kitchen and half used rolls of toilet paper in the bathro

  Denise C from Canton, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Beautiful cabin and views. The main complaint is that the 2 sofa beds that are advertised are broken and unusable. I actually fell through one before realizing the springs were completely off the end. I told the management and they compensated me for the trouble but unfortunately some of my guests had to be on the floor. Also we were unable to use tv in the loft. There is no cable in the loft and remotes did not have batteries so we were unable to change the input to watch the dvd player. A little disappointing for my kids sleeping in the loft. Other than that, the cabin is very nice.

  a guest from Newnan, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We've stayed at this house several times and there was a significant difference in the condition compared to our previous stays. Pros: the BEST views of any property we've ever stayed at; large house with 3 separate private sleeping areas and 2 non-private sleeper sofas; plenty of dining space; amazing porches; lots of easy parking; kitchen is well-equipped (bring pot holders.) Cons: the house was not as clean as we expected (hair in the tubs, dead bugs and spiderwebs everywhere); there were not enough linens/blankets for every bed; the air conditioner was not capable of cooling the 2nd floor; the furnishings are really starting to show age (sleeper sofa mattresses are little more than pads.) In the many times we've stayed in any Carolina Vacations property, we've never had one that didn't start off with clean bathrooms. It appeared that only the most cursory of cleanings had been done in quite some time. Carolina Vacations responded very quickly and sent out the cleaning crew the same morning we called; however, there was still hair left in the tubs when they finished. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as when we arrived. The major issue that we couldn't resolve was the insufficiency of the air conditioner for the 2nd floor. To get the 2nd floor temperature tolerable, the first floor and basement were freezing. That was how we discovered that there weren't enough blankets for every bed. We were fortunate that the temperatures during the day never got very hot. Otherwise, the 2nd floor would not have been usable for sleeping. As it was, we couldn't stay up there during the heat of the day. This house would probably be perfect in the fall or early spring before it begins to get hot. It could use a thorough cleaning and new mattresses for the sleeper sofas but you won't find better views anywhere else. We would conditionally recommend this property for use in cooler weather, if it gets a detailed cleaning and if you don't need to use the sleeper sofas.
