Atop Whiteside Mountain

Sitting at 4,500 feet of elevation, this amazing home offers a 180-degree birds-eye view of the Cashiers Valley, lakes, and the mountains beyond. Perched high atop Whiteside Mountain's peak, the experience of being in this home is that of a peregrine falcon soaring through the air.

Cozy up to the fireplace in the living room while admiring the long-range mountain-views through its two-story-high wall of windows. A well-equipped chef's kitchen and dining room are just steps from the living room and the four-season room. Venture out onto the uncovered porch for some sunshine and enjoy the uninterrupted vistas. Wake up in the primary bedroom suite located on the upper floor, with a king bed, fireplace, large screen tv, wet bar, and jetted tub. Also on the upper level is queen bedroom with sweeping views and ensuite bath. On the main level there are two bedrooms. One with a queen bed and sliding doors, with a walk out to the adjoining four-season room to enjoy your morning coffee. The other is an additional queen bedroom and bath, which offers a fireplace and clawfoot tub.

There's something for everyone on the lower level with its family room and kitchenette, which is perfect for a movie night followed by a game of pool or table tennis. Another sleeping area provides more space for grandchildren with its rustic bunk beds as well as a full bath. A laundry room off the garage entry offers added convenience. Nearby, the Whiteside Mountain hiking trail is the picture-perfect setting for making lifelong family memories, and it is easily accessible up the end of the private drive.

  Peter H from Duxbury, MA recommends this vacation rental

  This is a fantastic home that is perfectly designed, decorated and located to enable a large group of friends come together and have a fantastic time. The kitchen/dining/sun room are aligned to allow 8 adults to create and enjoy memorable, lingering, meals. The living room enables everyone to gather or to split up into separate groups, and the lower level hosts cutthroat pingpong, pool, or domino matches. When all is done, the four beautiful bedrooms are equally spacious and comfortable and get everyone ready to do it all over again. And, as you can see from the pictures, the views are incredible.

  Glen B from DULUTH, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  We have been a regular visitor to Highlands for 30 years now and have hiked Whiteside at least 100 times over the years due to the great views you have. This property has the same view from the back deck!! The property was built into the landscape and rock and has such a wonderful feel. The house has plenty of space for large families or groups. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.

  This property is a perfect location, 15 minutes from Cashiers and Highlands. The view is also absolutely beautiful, and the home has a nice porch to enjoy it from. However, beds/pillows were quite uncomfortable. Decor could also be updated and felt very cluttered.

  Dwayne S from Senoia, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  If I was asked to summarize our Atop Whiteside Mountain experience in 3 words they would simply be: BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED!
  
  Blessing #1: Making wonderful memories with my family. This home afforded us every opportunity to simply relax and enjoy our time with each other. Cozying up next to the living room fireplace, playing cards/board games/simply talking (no phones allowed!!)/etc. was a daily enjoyment. Shooting pool and playing ping pong on the lower level allowed the competitive juices to flow, bringing boisterous laughter that could be heard throughout the house. And gathering at the dinner table (all 10 of us) was such a treat, preventing anyone from feeling like they were "shunned" to the kid's table!!
  
  Blessing #2: the views and location!!! Oh my, the sunrises and sunsets were nothing less than AWESOME and reminded all of us of the wonderful creation God provided for us to witness and enjoy, and to offer up our praises to Him for his perfect work! Atop Whiteside is conveniently located to so many hiking trails that we had no reason to stay in the house during the day (despite the 20-30 degree temps) and get out and explore more of the great outdoors! One suggestion: bring a good camera and tripod so you can take family photos...I guarantee you the backgrounds you have available CANNOT be beat!
  
  Blessing #3: Eddy and the entire Silver Creek team were professional, but more importantly, personal. The Silver Creek team has done a great job keeping the home well maintained with very comfortable amenities, plenty of linens, and a well stocked kitchen for a family of 10. The home was also very clean and orderly, although some "spring cleaning" underneath the furniture is in order :).
  
  Bottom line: a great home for gathering family and friends to make wonderful memories and appreciate the beauty of God's creation!!!

  Gina M from gainesville, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We really enjoyed our trip, and the house and view were both excellent.
  
  We did end up arriving after dark, and during drizzly heavy fog conditions, which made visibility pretty horrible, making the house difficult to find. If there was a reflector, or the house numbers were in white rather than black, that would have been helpful.

  The house was incredible, 10 people were there, and it never seemed crowded. The views were absolutely incredible! The weather for August was unbelievable mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Hollins and cashiers were very close with good restaurants and shopping.

  JEANNE B from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This home is a veritable jewel, few properties can score as high on so many criteria. The layout couldn’t be better, the fabulous view over the Blue Ridge Mountains, the comfort and luxury of the furniture, the high ceilings, all bedrooms are extremely quiet, and the lovely well insulated game room with a very good pool table.
  
  The kitchen is very well accessorized, the house is free of knickknacks, the garage is spacious, and of course, it’s extremely quiet with no neighbors in sight.
  
  Last but not least, Eddie was very helpful and always available should we need anything!
  
  Thank you for the privilege of staying at a beautiful home.!
