Secluded, quiet, and peaceful… no traffic noise, just the rush of that Brook. We did not unplug completely… WiFi and TV was more than adequate. Comfortable living space for 4. Our week was mostly cloudy if not rainy. So, we spent much of our time in the cottage reading books, playing games, TV and on the web. But the cabin is very comfortable in those conditions. Shops in Cashiers (east) are a 15-20 min drive; 25 min to Highlands (west) depending on traffic (it’s a slow go 3 pm to 5). Ingles grocery store in east Cashiers… they have everything. This was a return visit, our second time. The host, Gig is very responsive and accommodating. We plan to return again next summer.
