Whiteside Cove Cabins are located on 26 acres, which are flanked by national forest. Entering the grounds affords a great view of historic Whiteside Mountain rising 2000 feet above the cabins. We are smack dab in the middle of cashiers and highlands, which is perfect for those who plan to spend time in both towns during their stay. We are surrounded by tons of hiking trails, great fishing, biking trails, climbing, you name it. Our five mountain cabins all have two bedrooms with queen beds, a full bath, and a large sleeping loft with two twin beds. All cabins have covered front porches with rocking chairs to enjoy the cool mountain air. Maximum cabin insulation provides real comfort year long. The cabins are totally secluded within the deep forest and private from each other. The inside of the cabins are beautifully decorated with vaulted wood ceilings and wood floors. Included is a complete kitchen with microwave, full gas stove, full refrigerator, coffee maker and dining area. Outdoor area includes a picnic table, charcoal grill, and fire pit (wood can be provided or brought). Each cabin is outfitted with kitchenware, fresh linens, towels, paper products, and outdoor grilling utensils. No toiletries provided. There is no internet at the cabin, however, each cabin has a new Smart TV and Dvd Player. Cell service is very spotty and we do not offer internet in our cabins currently. However, we do allow internet access at a shared location on the property upon request! Our own clear, clean stream is a great place to wade or just relax with a picnic lunch along the banks or at one of our picnic/fire pit areas. Our "Creek Spot" as we call it is a shared space between all visitors, but feel free to use the space for whatever you want! There are a few disc golf baskets, numerous yard games, and plenty of places to set up a hammock or chair and just relax! All we ask is that you respect the space and leave it as you left it! Our local sliding rock, a favorite among kids as well as adults, is just a mile or so down our road. Not to mention many well known trailheads literally within walking distance, or just a few minutes in a vehicle. We are happy to help you organize guides for outdoor activity, recommendations or reservations for meals in town, just ask! Come spend a night or a few in our slice of paradise!

Cabin #4

Beautiful location. Family that run the place are super nice. Great place for enjoying nature and the outdoors. The cabins are way more roomy and well appointed than expected.

Cabin weekend in Cashiers

Cabin #5

Cool spot right outside Cashiers. James was a great host and even greeted us as we drove in. The cabin is no frills and totally off the grid which is exactly what we were looking for. We cooked in the kitchen for breakfast and dinner. It’s got all the pots and pans you need. We packed a cooler so we didn’t have to worry about a grocery run. There’s an Ingles in town where we picked up butter which we forgot. We did bring our own towels. Overall, great experience and plan to return!

Weekend Getaway

Cabin #4

The grounds are beautiful. It's an easy walk from the cabin down to the creek. We really enjoyed exploring. The location is also a plus. We could easily visit Highlands or Cashiers. We spent every evening around the campfire. Bring extra camp chairs if you have more than 2 guests. You can use the rocking chairs from the porch too. The cabin is very basic. If you plan to cook, I would bring your own kitchen tools. There are a few pots available. There is also no heat and we couldn't get the fireplace to work. I brought a few extra blankets and we stayed plenty warm. There is also no internet or cell service. Download the map before you arrive. I did not see a sign marking the driveway so we passed it, unsure of where to turn. The map directions from HipCamp were correct though. The kids loved the loft space with the extra games and stuffies. They have two friendly dogs that visited camp a few times. The hosts were available when we needed but without cell service it was sometimes tricky. Overall, it was a quiet relaxing weekend away. Thank you for the rental. We hope to return to camp in the open camping area by the river.

Cabin #5

The cabin was awesome! Great place to disconnect and spend time with friends and family without staring at our phones! The cabin was so cozy and perfect for our group! If you’re lucky you’ll get to meet Glenn, the cutest dog who’s very playful and friendly!

Great unplug

Cabin #5

Love the place. Make sure you read the directions well before hand though because we got lost and didn’t have service to call and ask questions 😂 no AC in the place but at night it cools down enough for you to get a good nights sleep. This place is great for an unplug! Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Cabin to Unplug with Pups!

Cabin #5

My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our cozy getaway! The cabin is more beautiful in person, and truly exceeds all expectations. James was an excellent host and made sure all our needs were taken care of. Camper, our dog, loved having all the space to roam around, and even made a new friend! Be sure to check out the creek space during your stay! It's so peaceful, and even offers a fun game of frisbee golf. There's also a swimming hole nearby featuring a natural slide! You do NOT want to pass on this amazing cabin!
