We Will Certainly Be Back

Vacation Date: April 22, 2024

"If you’re looking for a lovely getaway with breathtaking scenery, then I highly recommend “Back Porch Views”. My friends and I were fortunate to find this hidden gem and spend a few relaxing days in the mountains. We were greeted with a pristine, well-maintained home that was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished with just the right amount of mountain charm. The home is designed around the exquisite views using floor to ceiling windows in the great room with a charming stone fireplace that warms up the room with the touch of a button. A cozy screened in porch and an outdoor entertaining area with gas grill and ample seating offer the perfect spot to take in the gorgeous sunsets. However, if you have to leave this oasis, then the towns of Brevard, Cashiers and Highlands are just a few minutes away, offering quaint shopping and delicious restaurants. And be sure not to miss our favorite, The Library, for a wonderful dining experience that is just minutes down the street. I highly recommend “Back Porch Views”! We will certainly be back!
