Fantastic Off the Beaten Path Cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heardlot! From swimming in the lake to game nights to reading on the back porch, it was a welcome break from real life. Cabin seemed tucked off the beaten side path, but was not far from so many great hikes, Cashiers and Highlands! The kids were delighted to find it was less than a mile to Cashiers Sliding Rock and the grownups were just delighted. Thanks for a great stay!

Golf trip
Me and a group of my buddies went up for a golf trip and loved the cabin. Definitley tucked away in the woods, rustic and clean as a whistle. Will definitely rent again.
