(If you're looking for a unique seaside getaway for a large group (sleeps 16), please check out our beach home in Navarre, FL on the Santa Rosa Sound: The Seahorse Retreat #164976 with its own private heated pool with amazing views, dock, hot tub, beach, and more).brbrIf you are interested in booking our home, High Ridge Haven, for your vacation, please tell us a little about yourself, your rental party, and the reason for your visit.brbrbrSome things to note:brbrWe have both Starlink and Verizon WIFI providing high-speed Internet at High Ridge Haven. Keep in mind the home is in the mountains so it is possible to experience a momentary hiccup, but you may not experience any issues at all. Additionally, you can go into the town of Cashiers (4 miles away)- the local library or Buck’s Coffee provides good internet. Verizon offers the best cell service. If you are with another carrier, you can connect via WiFi to get calls or text messages. brbrWe provide great directions, but those who are not used to driving in the mountains should be aware of curving, sometimes steep roads. The access to our home is fairly easy but would require a four-wheel or all-wheel drive during winter weather.brbrThe unique setting of this home - on top of a ridge in the mountains - means that other creatures make their home here, so we ask that you embrace nature. This area is known as a temperate rainforest. While there aren’t many mosquitos, there are other flying insects as well as spiders, birds, squirrels, raccoons, deer, and the occasional bear. brbrbrbrDOG POLICY (also on rental agreement):brbrTwo house-broken and well-trained dogs of up to 50 pounds and two years of age are allowed with prior approval by owner. Puppies are not allowed. No other animals are allowed. Failure to get prior approval of a dog may result in termination of rental, immediate eviction, and forfeiture of security deposit. There is a non-refundable $125 per dog. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and crated if left alone in home. Dog waste must be picked up and disposed prior to departure. Any damage will be deducted from security deposit.
