Private apartment in the mountains

This was a wonderful place to stay! Debi was an amazing host, very detailed in communication and made sure we were taken care of. It’s a great spot to be surrounded by nature and I love the special touches that make it feel like home!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hummingbird Hill studio apartment in Cullowhee, NC, and it was a fantastic experience. **Host:** Our host, Debi, was gracious and fun, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. **Apartment:** The studio itself was delightful. The landscaping around the property was amazing, providing a serene and beautiful setting. Inside, the King-sized bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights. The fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the bathroom was very clean. **Amenities:** We particularly loved the comfortable porch, which offered stunning views of the mountain—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The apartment also had a large storage closet, which was very convenient for keeping our belongings organized. The tasteful decoration, with wonderful pictures, added a lovely touch to the overall ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are already looking forward to a return visit. If you're planning a trip to Cullowhee, we highly recommend staying at Hummingbird Hill!

The property was so serene and peaceful! Perfect place to recuperate. Debi was so nice and everything you could possibly need there.

It is a fabulous property. It's very quiet and peaceful.

There is a reason everyone gives this apartment great reviews - they are all right! It is a clean, peaceful room for two in pretty surroundings with a kind and thoughtful host.

This was by far one of the best VRBO experiences I have ever had. The apartment was lovely, and Debi went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We spent a lot of time out on the deck, which makes you feel like you are hanging out in the trees. The mountain is so peaceful and quiet, except for the birds and chickens in the background. I honestly cannot say enough about how relaxing it was. I did not want to come back home and cannot wait to go back many more times in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the middle of nowhere. It was just what I needed!

10/10. It was a short stay, but a wonderful stay. A perfect little retreat. Debi's property is beautiful. Even in winter. It was my mom and I and 4 pups! Thank you for allowing us to bring all 4. Debi had fresh OJ, lemon water, eggs, milk and coffee in the fridge and snacks for the dogs! Just a beautiful, peaceful place. Studio apartment (lower portion of her house) with porch, has wifi, I had no phone service but i didnt need it nor want it! Its perfect for wanting to be in nature. She gave us directions there and met us. Showed us around her property and where we'll be staying. We enjoyed our stay and hopefully one day can come back when the weather is warmer and garden in bloom!

Great directions provide as gps can struggle in the mountain. Beautiful home and property. The apartment was clean and well stocked.

Everything was great . We were glad to be staying there again . It is so “homey” , and comfortable. However , we really missed hearing the rooster crowing . We hope to stay again sometime.

The room was everything we needed. It was clean and easy easily accessible to.the walking path.

Everything was impeccably clean and organized. Anything needed was promptly delivered. A wonderful accommodation with great personality in a tranquil setting.

Debi's place was a slice of heaven. Every photo in the ad was correct. Her gardens were exceptional & peaceful. I stayed 8 nights & could have easily booked a month. From riding horses, hiking & writing I was at total peace. Weather staying for a day or more it's totally worth it. Thank you again Debi for sharing your beautiful home with me.

Ms. Debi was very gracious & helpful. Property is nice & cozy but was a bit too isolated for me. If your looking to disconnect from the world & enjoy some alone time this is the perfect place for it.

You can’t go wrong here! Wonderful accommodations:- bed SO comfortable - shower wonderful - kitchen includes every amenity you might ever need- gorgeous setting with beautiful porch with comfy seating Host is gracious and accommodating. Five star!

The gardens are of the fairytale variety. My host greeted me with a warm smile and let me know that if there was anything I needed I could simply ask- but, no need as every detail was addressed. The accommodations were charming and oh, so comfortable. Hummingbird Hill was not only the perfect place to unwind, it was balm for the soul.

Lovely place to stay, our second time there. Debi is a very nice host and the gardens she created are magical!

Debi has created a slice of botanical paradise at her property. The location is lush with plants, flowers and singing birds (and chickens) to seranade you. The apartment is comfortably and beautifully appointed with a comfortable king bed, fully appointed kitchen (minus oven), dining area and a very nice bathroom. You can sit on the deck and chill on the chaise lounge or enjoy the two person swing as you peruse the landscape. We plan on a return stay in the fall. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately after many changes, we couldn't stay! We did not ask for a refund due to our last minute change.During the whole process, Debi was wonderful to work with. I will definitely be booking with her again when the need arises!CB

What a wonderful, quiet retreat! The host is very kind and generously shared eggs from their chickens! Lovely garden to enjoy and relax. Nicely located not too far from town/amenities, but tucked away from the road and noise.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. Debi was an excellent host. She was very welcoming. We had fresh eggs from her chickens, blueberries and juice for breakfast. Her property is absolutely beautiful with gardens to walk through. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you!

This studio apartment was an amazing place to stay. Great host, Ms Debi. She had the most wonderful gardens to walk around. All back to your roots kinda atmosphere. Will stay again

The apartment, property and area were absolutely lovely and a great place to spend some much needed quiet time. Debi is a wonderful host and I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in the area.

Wonderful mountain retreat, with fantastic whimsical gardens, really enjoyed our stay.

Debi, the hostess, is so very accommodating and thoughtful. Checking in and out was a breeze. Necessary items were thoughtfully placed in case something was forgotten. I think my favorite thing was walking my dog and hearing the birds sing.

Absolutely charming suite in the mountains. One of the increasingly rare original P2P Homestays, you could really feel the love Debi has for sharing her space and the location. Our two year old husky was very excited as well. Will definitely stay again in the future.

We loved to stay at Debi's apartment. She is a great host, very helpful and the place is comfortable and cozy. The setting is beautiful as the activities you can do around.

The property was amazing. Tranquil and great for some R&R. Very clean and Debi, the host, was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Debi is a great hostess. Was met with fresh eggs, orange juice, lemon water and local apple cake. She goes above and beyond.

My husband and I had a wonderful couple of days at Debi’s lovely mountain cottage and gardens. The pictures really do not do it justice and Debi was delightful to work with from the day we booked and throughout our stay. All the little extras she added for us were so appreciated and made us feel special. . Thank you so much, Debi!

I was here for a festival in Cashiers. This was the perfect little place to come home to every night. The host was very communicative. Would definitely love to stay here again!

Debi’s place was beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. The porch is amazing and the grounds are gorgeous. Debi is a lovely host and it’s clear she cares about her guests. I highly recommend her place!

Debi is an amazing host with a gift of hospitality. Opened fridge to find eggs from her chickens, OJ, fruit, cold water and homemade hummingbird loaf, delicious! Mornings were spent on the porch, sitting in the swing, with coffee in one hand an a book in the other; enjoying the peace, quiet, and solitude, even had a hummingbird visited one morning. If you are looking for rest and relaxation check out Hummingbird Hill, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Debi.

Debbie was awesome. She gives you specific instructions on the location, pay close attention to the details (the gps took us their fine), but being that far up in the mountains cell service is spotty, so the driving instructions are valuable. Room was great, clean and exactly what we needed. Would stay at again. Communication was top notch. Thanks Debbie.

This is a wonderful property that had everything we needed and then some. The unit is very clean and very comfortable. Debi is a great host who has landscaped the outside area beautifully. Highly recommend!

Debbie was wonderful and the location was absolutely beautiful!

Debi was great and the place was just as described. Perfect when you want to get away from it ALL!!

Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
