** WELCOME TO HUNTER'S LODGE**

Spectacular, panoramic mountain view from sunrise to sunset. Sitting on 12 acres, this custom built, luxury home is located on Highlands Mountain. 15 minutes from downtown Highlands. On top of Highlands Mountain. It is one of the the highest homes in the area, placed right next to forest service land for additional privacy and easy access to hiking trails. Maps for hiking trails are available in home.
****View is so expansive that you can see hawks andeagles soaring past the balconies*****

***Home was built by a renowned custom log home builder with handmade, custom features throughout entire home****

The house is fully stocked (towels, linens, soap, toilet tissue, garbage bags, paper towels, cleaning agents, etc.).400-1200 count sheets throughout. Temperpedic master bed. Down comforters throughout home. Thirsty towels throughout. The refrigerator has purified water.The spring fed tap water is remarkable and guests take a gallon or 2 home with them. A fully stocked gourmet kitchen with mountain views awaits your culinary skills. Please bring charcoal if you plan on using outside grill. Also bring fire logs if you plan on using the outside fire pit.
*If you are booked during the winter months, please bring a bag of ice melt or sand just in case the driveway gets icy.*
Please extinguish fire and empty trash after enjoying the fire pit.
In winter months, please pick up 1-2 bags of salt in case of snow. 4WD vehicles are also recommended if you know it is going to be snowing. If you do not have a 4WD vehicle and we get a snow storm, just park at the top of driveway on the grass.
The property looks and feels like a 5 star mountain resort. Spend the day hiking on groomed, creekside mountain trails and your evening dining at an award winning restaurant in Highlands. We have run into town to buy supplies only to find ourselves still there 5 hours later exploring the many unique shops and trying a new restaurant for lunch and/or dinner. Coming home to this beautiful estate is priceless. Fireplaces inside and out will thrill you all 4 seasons with the push a a remote control button. Fire pit for memorable outdoor nights by a roaring fire.

    The house was so roomy for all of us to spread out in. Kitchen had all the equipment etc to cook a meal in. Kids loved the bunk room and game room. Adults loved the back porch and fire places. It is centrally located to all the waterfalls and hikes around Cashiers, Highlands, and Franklin. I have been coming to the area for about 20 years. This time we found two waterfall hikes that I have never been to one is called secret Falls near Highlands and the other is Rufus Morgan Falls near Franklin very close to Wayah Bald.

    We loved the mountain lodge—great character, comfortable, good amenities, comfy beds. Hosts DJ & Hunter were very helpful & responsive to any questions. A special thanks for the info re: hikes. Bartram Trail near the house was spectacular, even on a cloudy day. Thanks & we plan to return.

    This was the perfect property for our Motorcycle getaway! The area is so Beautiful, Waterfalls are spectacular, roads are perfect for our Riding. We spent so much time under the covered entry and the back patio it was amazing! The Kitchen was perfect for cooking our dinners! Overall one of the Best vacations and VRBO's ever. I have to give a Big Thank You to DJ our Host, she went above and beyond helping me with everything, I will be back to this Property!!

    ... I say cabin but the house is sizable, with more room than I expected. The location is great with nice views, while reasonably close to Highlands. It has an outdoor fireplace on the deck, as well an indoor one. We enjoyed sitting on the deck every evening (when we weren't in the hottub). You can book this property with no regrets!

    We had an amazing stay at this cabin! The mountain view was absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t get enough of it. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Getting to enjoy the snow was an unexpected bonus that made the trip even more special. We can only imagine how breathtaking the view must be in the fall when the leaves change colors. This was a perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay here again!
