"Buttercup Haven is such a beautiful mountain retreat! All six of my sisters and I immensely enjoyed this lovely home. The owner has put so much thought into accommodating guests; we were more than comfortable in every way. Not only was the home tastefully and graciously decorated, it was impeccably clean. We would love to make a return visit!"

"My family and I rented this cabin for a quick getaway. The views are breathtaking! The Christmas décor was gorgeous! The cabin was well taken care of and clean. This was our second stay here and it didn’t disappoint. The process for renting is very easy and I appreciate how the owner stays in contact with you from start to finish. I would HIGHLY recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to rent a cabin."

"Buttercup Haven is better than owning a vacation home! We’ve been visiting every year for nine years – often more than once a year. Regardless of the season, it’s beautiful. Great views and porches facing all directions. Beautiful landscaping, lovely seasonal decor, an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen with high-end appliances, cookware, and tableware, a well-appointed home that’s always clean and comfortable. Margaret consistently pays attention to the details. It’s become a home away from home. We always look forward to our next trip to Buttercup Haven. "

"Our group of 8 friends spent 5 days at Buttercup Haven the first part of October. We have been traveling together twice a year for the past 8 years. Buttercup Haven was by far the loveliest and most immaculate home we have stayed in. It met all of our expectations and more. The kitchen was well stocked for every cooking need. There was ample space to gather as a group and beautiful porches all around for solitude if wanted. Two of our group enjoyed the hot tub to soothe bad knees and sore muscles. The few questions we had were quickly answered by Margaret, our host.
The city of Franklin is a charming little town. The ladies in our group enjoyed a day of shopping and lunch out. We ate lunch at Caffe Rel and returned with our husbands for dinner.
We will look forward to our next visit to this charming home in the clouds!"

"We spent a delightful week at Buttercup Haven in early July. From the first day to the last day of our stay, we enjoyed a beautiful home surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds with amazing views over the mountains. Our favorite times were early mornings, enjoying the quiet solitude and the views and sunrise from the east deck, and the evenings when we enjoyed the amazing sunsets from the west deck, with an amazing bonus being able to view the 4th of July fireworks in Franklin and neighboring towns far below from our mountaintop perch. Buttercup Haven was the perfect setting for us and for our daughter, son-in-law, and three granddaughters who enjoyed all of the amenities of the home and its amazing setting. We felt as though we were at our own private resort! We could not have wished for a more beautiful setting for a week in the mountains, and the amazingly equipped kitchen made for many wonderful meals together. Our only consolation in leaving was knowing that we will be returning to Buttercup Haven in October for a four-night stay. We're confident that we will want to return many more times in the future."

"[We] have been to many mountain rental homes through the years. Never have I seen one this beautiful, spacious, and with every amenity, you can imagine. The views from the three porches are gorgeous. The rooms are big and decorated to a T. The house is spotless - so clean. It is close to Highlands which has some awesome restaurants. Close to Dry Falls which is beautiful and just driving along the roads is a scenic experience. The little ice cream and coffee cafe in Franklin is delightful and the ice cream is to die for. I don't believe there is another place that can compare to this inside or outside. Beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing your home."

"Buttercup Haven is simply amazing. Margaret is extremely easy to communicate with and has gone beyond making our stay luxurious, breathtakingly beautiful and enjoyed. This is our 2nd stay at Buttercup and we hope to return. This rental far exceeds what one would even dream of for a rental vacation spot."

"We had a wonderful time! The landscaping is beautiful. The views from all the decks are breathtaking! Your home is decorated meticulously. Your kitchen is so well stocked! The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful. Our husbands enjoyed the hot tub every evening. Grilling on the Weber grill was so easy.
To sum our stay up, it’s the best home we have ever rented for vacation! We will definitely return to your beautiful Buttercup Haven!!"

"We stayed in Buttercup Haven for 10 days in July - the home was exactly as described and shown on the website, both in the photographs and the video. Buttercup Haven is in a very lovely setting “on top of the mountain“, and the views are stunning! The drive up is paved and very easy to navigate, and once inside the gate, there is a covered parking spot at the front of the door, making it very easy to unload your suitcases or groceries. Stepping foot into Buttercup Haven for the first time upon our arrival brought huge smiles to our faces! Everywhere we looked, we saw the attention to detail - beauty - luxury - fabulous views!! We knew it might be hard to leave every day to go out on our “day adventures“!
Margaret is the best hostess ever! She has it “all together” with regard to any information, instructions, details, etc. that you might need so that your stay will be just perfect..... I like the fact that she touched base with us by phone/text upon check-in, just to make sure that everything was fine. She also provided her cell phone number that we could call or text at any time, as well as her email address.
There were only two of us (my husband and I), but there is plenty of room in this home for 10 people - there is a downstairs area with a sofa and full bathroom - recreation area and a small play area - again, all beautifully designed and decorated. The upstairs area is also exactly as shown in the photographs – we did not need to use the space but it was definitely just as luxurious and comfortable as the middle level where the other two bedrooms are. There is plenty of everything! Towels, kitchen supplies (very gourmet), bath items .....and very comfortable and beautiful linens on the beds, great living room furniture to relax in, and all the outdoor furniture you could possibly want. It is obvious that Margaret takes great pride as the owner of Buttercup Haven and so she should! If you are lucky enough to stay here it will only add to the beautiful memories you will have a vacation in the North Carolina mountains!"
