10/10 Excellent

"Overall very nice experience"

Brook Trout Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for one night after hiking Rainbow Falls and Turtleback Falls trail. Great location close to Cashiers where we saw 4th of July fireworks. Room was comfy and clean! Excellent air conditioning! They cooked made to order eggs and bacon and had assorted muffins, bagels, breads, and fruit. Chatted with the owner Julie at breakfast-super friendly! Don’t hesitate to stay here!"

Dillard House

10/10 Excellent

"First the Dillard's house has the most beautiful view of the mountains it was so gorgeous we really loved eating in the front dining room and enjoying the delicious food at the restaurant. The staff was very nice, and we had a drink at the bar; Carlton the bartender was interesting and made a killer cocktail.🎉 Our room was very clean but it's a walk into the 1960s... The room furnishings were very old vintage upholstery 😬I would say but the mattress was new and the towels were clean.They had two guys outside playing music on the lawn. The guys on the lawn were versatile with the music but once "Freebird" started we had to go. It was July 4th & there were a few weird things... They had a fire pit roaring, right next to the musicians well it was hot very hot outside and you couldn't sit close to the music because the fire made it way too hot ..s'mores on July 4th come on? it's Georgia ice cream Popsicles or shaved ice would have been way smarter and helped people sit on the lawn through the heat."

8/10 Good

"If you want to have a lakeview, call Capital Properties. The lakeview cabins are all Time Shares. However, all pictures of the property on VRBO or on Expedia and even on the actual website all lead one to believe you are getting a lakeview condo. It did not indicate to call them before booking to inquire about a lakefront condo . The write-up did not how views of the specific condo, showing the outside in the woods. . We were not the only one. Our neighbor believed the same thing, hence real disappointment. We would not have booked there if it was not a lakefront property. As compensation for out disappointment, they waived the pet fee. Nonetheless, the condo was very nice, well appointed. The other resort amenities, especially the 9 hole golf course and the lake and boat rental were really nice. The location was near to restaurants in Cashiers and a grocery store. Highlands was 30 minutes away. The weather was heaven (last week in June). Capital Properties' staff was friendly and helpful, except for above."
