  Mary Elizabeth H from Baton Rouge, LA recommends this vacation rental

  We had the best time during our stay at Heardlot Lodge. Close enough to Cashiers and Highlands to enjoy both communities, and far enough away that we could relax in the peace of Whiteside Cove. The kids were especially delighted with the proximity to Cashiers Sliding Rock, and the grownups enjoyed being unplugged for a few days.

  a guest from Calhoun, GA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  On a positive note the cabin has plenty of room for a large family, and the reality company was very nice and helpful. However, the cabin was dirty and smelled. We opened the door and the smell of moth balls was so strong it was hard to breathe. The cabin also has a moldy smell ( probably the reason for the moth balls) the showers had dead bugs and spiders, rat feces was on the pillow shams, headboard, and floor of one of the back bedrooms. The furniture was old and dirty, we put a sheet over the sofa so we could set on it. I cleaned the vinyl chairs in the dinning area and the paper towels I clean them with was black with dirt. I’m just glad we only rented for a weekend and not a week. Very disappointed !!

  pablo v from weston, FL recommends this vacation rental

  This was a beautiful surprise. The house was very clean and with all that is necessary. The only thing I would improve is the lightning because in the evenings it was dark in the common aéreas. And maybe have something for the mosquitoes or little bugs.
