Great location! So beautiful and peaceful but not far from main roads. Loved the cabin, very spacious, extra pillows, blankets and lots of towels provided. Suggestion to guest- bring your own hair dryer. Very happy overall!

Nice rental in a quiet area. We were visiting family and the location was very convenient. The coffee bar and other thoughtful touches were great. The access road is very steep at points with sharp turns that were difficult for our large vehicle. We had to use 4 wheel drive at times when it was wet.

We enjoyed our stay. Perfect for what we needed. Very convenient location to get to the wedding venue. tastefully decorated. House number by road needs to be more visible. House number above door is missing the 4.

I reserved the Heartwood Cabin in Linville, NC. The process was super easy, and any time I had a comment or concern, they were on top of it! I've booked through BRMR in the past and have been completely satisfied with the whole process. Will definitely use them again in the future

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Highlander Hideaway. It's a beautiful cabin, with 3BR, 2 1/2 BA. I brought my daughter and 4 grandsons for a getaway before school starts again. We visited Linville Falls one day, and Grandfather Mountain the next day. My daughter and I loved sitting on the rocking chairs on the wrap around porch, first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee. We had s'mores at the firepit in the evenings. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us for a relaxing getaway!!!

Starting with customer service, Casey was kind and communicative from the beginning. She helped with the reservation and made everything a breeze. The cabin that we rented was clean and tidy when we arrived. I loved that it was so tucked away and quiet. Highlander Hideaway was just what we needed to unplug and relax. We loved Linville Falls and Boone, we will definitely be returning. We toured the Biltmore for Christmas and already planning a return trip in the summer. Thank you BRMR for such a great experience.
