Great place to stay while visiting Cashiers and Highlands. Good location, clean property, easy check-in/out. Communication with Matt was a breeze. We would definitely recommend to others.
Loved the location and hiking trails. Bunkhouse was perfect for teens! Main cabin bedroom had hard foam mattress, otherwise fantastic rental! Everything was well stocked as well!! Can’t wait to go back!!
GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILIES! Good communication with property manager. Space to spread out; nightly campfires; well-equipped kitchen; and minutes from beautiful hikes and waterfalls. Be prepared for minimum electronic connectivity...also a good thing!!
Our stay was wonderful! The cabins were perfect for our two families. The kids enjoyed fishing in the pond, playing in the bunkhouse and lounging in some hammocks. The adults enjoyed sitting around the fire pit chatting, relaxing and listening to music. We absolutely loved exploring the private trails and waterfalls, and taking a cold plunge in the water. The proximity to Cashiers and Highlands is great and we explored and hung out in town, too (even saw a bear in town!). Working with the cabin owner and property manager was easy as they were very thorough and sent updates often. A great trip was had by all!
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend with friends and family. Perfect property with plenty of space. Kids loved it.
Fantastic place. I should’ve scheduled a longer stay.
All good.
WOW! Where do I start. They say it's not what you do that people remember but, it is how you make them feel. Tim was outstanding at making us feel welcome & that our vacation was worry free and ready for us. We rented Unicorn for my husband's surprise 50th birthday celebration as it fit our needs of a place large enough for 3 families and pets. We needed something with at least 2 separate buildings which is hard to find. Unicorn exceeded what we were looking for with 3 buildings (2 cabins & a bunkhouse). The main cabin was great with it's downstairs location with a private entrance. The kids absolutely LOVED the bunkhouse as it gave them a place to let them make their own memories (I can only imagine how the stories will ultimately end up) and the Lovers Retreat was perfect for our couple with no kids . The cabin's details gave it a warm feel unlike some of the cookie cutter cabins we have rented in the past. The cabins were clean and stocked with everything we needed, including maps of hiking trails & things to do in the area. Tim was even available via text to answer questions and help us with directions to one of the trails we wanted to go to. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the deck, the days exploring trails and Cashiers, & nights by the fire telling stories and laughing until we cried...PERFECTION! We ventured to hike The Loop on our first day and had a blast. Some of our party chose a calmer, relaxing hike (you do have to cross a shallow river so plan to have waterproof shoes if you don't want to venture across barefoot..the water was COLD) while a few of us chose to take on the steep path. The 4 oldest kids and two of us adults had a blast traversing down the steep trail, with the help of ropes, to the amazing waterfall. The private waterfall area was amazing!! There was a small sand island where we made a sandcastle (mountain version) and a huge rock formation that the kids loved climbing on and jumping in the water (warning, the water is COLD in April). The two separate fire pits were great. The first one, off the back of the main cabin, was a great place to relax, drink some wine and play games. The second one, in the front of the property by the pond was far enough from the cabins to provide the perfect spot for ghost stories and smore's. I could go on and on about this special place but, instead I will just say that you should go yourself and make memories of your own as you won't be disappointed.
The property was comfortable and private. We had a few families which celebrated the Scriptural Holy Days found in Leviticus 23 and had a great time! We grilled with the downstairs BBQ Pit and had Scripture Study lessons by the pond and throughout the cabins and also around the fire pit. Everyone had a blast and had expressed much gratitude for the property location and it's cozy homelike atmosphere. We definitely recommend staying and implore guests to hike (mild walk,) down to the local water fall trail which is located a short distance passed the cabin. Shalom
With the 3 available cabins our multi-generational group was able to sleep and gather comfortably, and we really enjoyed the fishing, and the creek and fields to play in! Very close to lots of great hikes, and to the town of Cashiers.
