Upscale Cottage with Ultra Privacy and Spectacular View

This was our second stay at the cottage, and it was the perfect relaxing get-away after the hectic holidays! The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed to cook our meals every day. The screen porch is such an added bonus! We can’t wait to stay again!

We enjoyed the spectacular views and the privacy of the home.

Great cabin in a nice quiet neighborhood. Secluded. Nicely designed and the porch was amazing. Amazing view. It is also easily accessible- no steps to the porch or on the main floor bedroom which is great for older visitors. Only negative things I’d comment on- the mattresses and bedding were below average (ok for a couple nights but I wouldn’t really want to sleep on them more than that) and there is not a good place to eat inside and the table on the porch only comfortably seats 4 which was an inconvenience for our family but would probably be fine for most people staying here. Overall a great choice for a weekend getaway in the mountains and I absolutely would recommend staying here! Thanks for a great vacation

Husband and I spent a week at this cabin and loved the location because of the security of the gated preserve and the privacy. Very few cars go up or down the road in a day, and you don’t have any close neighbors. Cabin is well stocked and beds are comfy. It was immaculate upon our arrival. We spent most of our time out on the screen porch with a fire going. Love the view of the mountains and the sunsets are amazing here. Lots of hiking nearby including on the property. This is our second stay, and we will be back.

This was our third stay over the past 12 years so we do love the place—the setting and the screened in porch/deck can’t be beat. The kitchen is better stocked with pans and utensils since prior stays but be aware you’ll need to bring your own seasonings (like salt and pepper). We weren’t able to get the gas fireplace to work or to have the firewood to burn very good so ultimately bought some Duraflame logs. A great place to relax and hear nature!

Great location for a getaway and privacy. Couple minor issues that need improvement. There’s no where to get rid of garbage. We’d have to take our garbage to a gas station and dispose of our trash there. Had to live out of my suitcase for the week since there aren’t any drawers or hangers for clothes.

Lovely cottage had everything that you would need. We'll stay longer next time.

property is exactly as described online. Outside seating area enjoys incredible views. Property is well appointed and comfortable. We will for sure be back.

Property was great as always! Rained a couple days but it made the waterfalls better....

We decided to head to the mountains from the low country for New Years and it was the perfect way to decompress and end the year! The pictures don’t do this cottage justice - it is an absolute dream mountain cottage! My only regret is that I didn’t make our reservation for longer! Normally, I’m ready to head home, but I can honestly say I was sad to leave! The cottage was immaculate, and it had such a peaceful and cozy ambience. The outside porch was, of course, our favorite spot! We spent hours outside reading and relaxing! I can’t wait to head back again next year!

The cabin is lovely. Great views and the porch is a wonderful place for sunrise/sunsets. Wonderful 180' views. We would come back again.

This was our 2nd stay at the Mt Laurel Cabin and as before a great private location with a fantastic view.

We had a wonderful stay for a week this fall. Community is beautiful with on site hiking and waterfalls as well as many public trails within a few minute drive. Highly recommend it, we will definately return.

The cottage's indoor living room/kitchen was small, with no dining area, but the outdoor screened in porch more than made up for it. Master bedroom was very roomy, the only thing missing was a bureau/dresser for your clothes, which could be placed in the good-sized closet. The cottage was very well stocked, including bath products. Parking area is level, a plus and not that common in the mountains. Directions to the cottage from the gate were not detailed enough, google maps will not take you there so I would include the mileage to make it easier to find. The only contact number listed was for the out of state owner who did not respond to a call, text or VRBO message I left about having to leave a day early due to weather. All in all, a very lovely cottage for 2 in a great location with wonderful mountain views, but it is pricey when you include the taxes and fees.

Always a great stay. Will return.

We spent a blissful week here, with 5 days being just my husband and me, and 2 days including two children. We found the home to be just the right size — not even an inch wasted — and very comfortable. Most of our time was spent on the screened porch in front of the fire. We dined, relaxed, played board games and generally just stretched out time there. There was a nice mountain breeze flowing through and the most blissful sunset behind Whiteside Mountain. The rental is convenient to Sapphire, Toxaway, and Cashiers. We enjoyed hikes at Panthertown, Gorges and beyond. We will definitely look to book again next summer!
