Summary: My family and I enjoyed the Red Fern cottage it was the perfect place for my family and I , they had all the essentials you need to make for the perfect family getaway.
Charles A. Aug 24, 2023 12:04:25 AM
Summary: Red Fern is a very comfortable house with all the basic amenities in a very peaceful location while still being a short drive to Highlands. It was totally quiet and close to lots of good hiking opportunities. We'll definitely be planning to return in the future.
Kristin D. Jan 7, 2023 07:02:02 AM
Summary: We throughly enjoyed our first stay in the Highlands! The property was very private yet not far from downtown shopping and restaurants. The best of both worlds.. The wood burning fireplace gave it all the more charm. The outdoor secluded fire pit was also a hit! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals. We will be back!
Douglas L. Aug 24, 2022 11:57:18 PM
Summary: Another great VRBO experience. The owners have thought of everything. The kitchen was well appointed and having internet was important. It's why we chose this property as some of our family needed to do some online work. When the internet went out, the owner drove several hours to come repair it. Love the seclusion but also proximity to Asheville,Highlands, and Cashiers. Great hikes, restaurants and even breweries nearby!

Summary: The home served us well as a home base for the several day stay by our 5-person group (one teen and four adults). The kitchen was adequately equipped, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The Wi-Fi speed was what you might expect for a home in a remote area of the mountains, and adequate for checking emails and staying up-to-date on current events. The drive to Highlands was quite reasonable and was wonderfully scenic. We found several good hikes in the surrounding area. I can only imagine how beautiful the setting is in peak leaf season. Kati was very quick to respond to my questions and a good host. Overall, we found Red Fern Cottage to be a good value for the price.

Summary: We had a great time! Beautiful home with beautiful surroundings! The vintage Nintendo was a hit with our 6 and 7 year old!
Julie B. Jul 1, 2022 08:48:08 AM
Summary: This house was very clean and had all the comforts of a home including a well stocked kitchen. Everything was easy to use and/or figure out --- even the television! Plenty of space and bedrooms with comfortable beds. Very user friendly. Only drawback was the long gravel road to get to the home and steep driveway. Everything else was great!
tracy C. Dec 8, 2021 10:43:35 PM
Summary: The house was just as portrayed in the listing, nice comfortable home. Great fireplace and Firewood was provided which we appreciated. Very quiet location, a nice place for family weekend.
