Wonderful cabin

This was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, the owners were easy to contact and we will definitely plan to go back again. The curtains on the windows are almost see-thru and with neighbors so close I would have preferred a bit more privacy in the evening but all in all I would stay here again.

My family really enjoyed our stay in the July Pippin cottage. Extremely clean and comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch and listening to the birds. Also the owner was very quick to respond to my questions. We hope to return in the future.

Peace in the woods

Wonderful cottage in the woids. This is is the second time we stayed at this property. We loved being 10 minutes from Highlands. The cottage has a large covered balcony which looks over a fire pit that we frequented every day. Very peaceful stay.

Wonderful and peaceful in July Pippen

Our family of 5 had a great time in our upscale cabin. Off the beaten path but worth the trip through nature. Enjoyed the setting and the bocce ball court along with the beauty of the mountains. All essentials were provided in the home. Couldn't ask for a better place.

Fabulous 4th of July Vacation Stay

Five Apple Farm is an amazing development and perfect getaway. I spent a long holiday weekend with four others and we had a blast. The location is peaceful yet still very convenient to activities in both Highlands and Cashiers. The cottage is nicely furnished and kitchen well stocked. The common areas are fun for playing games, sitting by the fire pit and getting to know other guests.

Mountain Cabin

New cabin near two others on the same property. Very clean. Perfect for a couple or family. Good view from the porch. Secluded but not isolated. Gravel road up to the cabin but was no problem. Easy and short drive to Highlands (10 minutes or so) Would definitely stay again.

Home Away From Home

Excellent location, with very nice view overlooking the property. Had easy access to the nearby towns of Highlands and Cashiers, as well as a nearby public golf course and several fine hiking trails. You should be aware that the last half-mile onto the property is along a gravel road...keep in mind if you're driving a small car. The host/hostess were very responsive to a couple of issues that came up and deserve an A+ rating!

Our Escape

This place was unbelievable! There was not a stone (literally and figuratively) left unturned. The stone details throughout the property were just amazing ! Every detail was attended to, even the cabin being warm upon our arrival. We had plenty of dishes, linens, etc. We built several roaring fires in our fireplace and one at the fire pit until the rain came. We utilized the grill for a delicious dinner our last night. The proximity to “town” was perfect. We typically take a trip to Florida yearly at this time, but we opted to do something different and were not disappointed. We’re already planning for our next year at Five Apple Farm!

3rd Trip to 5 Apple Farm and Highlands

This was our 3rd year staying at 5 Apple Farms and it was a very special week for my boyfriend's 50th, so we rented all 3 cabins and had friends join us this year. It was truly memorable the evenings outside at the firepit, grilling out and playing games. We went rafting and waterfall chasing and spent the rainy day in Franklin shopping and enjoying the nearby breweries. One of the most beautiful hikes in the area is right by 5 Apple - Whitwside Mountain is a can't miss. This is our annual summer trip to beat the Florida heat and we will return next year!

Great property for our family

Great location close to town, but we still felt like we were in the middle of the forest on this beautiful property. The owners were great! Very attentive and accommodating. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Our kids really enjoyed the big outdoor firepit and the bocce pit. Thanks, Gary and Angie, for a great stay!
