Great place/Great Communication
The home was absolutely stunning. It was great for a long weekend - close to town for groceries, but still totally private/isolated. We had a maintenance issue upon check-in and Margaret took care of it instantly! Would definitely stay again.

Great House! Amazing Views!
We would highly recommend staying at this house! We loved the views, and it was stunning inside and out! We went with four couples, and each couple had their own room and bathroom. It was perfect! Clear instructions and great communication with the host as well.

Summertime Mountain Vacay
What an incredibly beautiful home and grounds! Beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything we needed. Breathtaking views of the mountains from 4 different comfortable porches perfect for gathering and sipping cocktails. Directions and check in were easy and well laid out. Would definitely rebook this property.

Beautiful Getaway
The scenery is fantastic with wonderful views all around the property. This home is decorated with much thought and great taste. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine for cooking better than any home I’ve vacationed in before. All the light switches are labeled which was very helpful. Beautiful vacation home.

Old friends
Two old friends were coming to the States from England for work and pleasure. They flew into Atlanta and we hosted them at Buttercup Haven from Tuesday to Friday. The drive up from Atlanta is easy, Franklin NC has plenty to do and Buttercup Haven lived up to expectations. The house is well situated to take in the wonderful views. The house was immaculate, well furnished, and had everything needed for cooking and enjoying the meals al fresco. There is lovely dining table as well but the weather was perfect for being out of doors and Buttercup Haven has beautiful and comfortable outdoor spaces. We could not have been happier with Buttercup Haven. Great fun, good times, we look forward to returning.

Great upscale mountain getaway
Outstanding! Great space inside and amazing views! Appliances and furnishings are excellent. 7 adults and two toddlers… plenty of space. We were there for Thanksgiving, so did a good bit of cooking. Best equipped kitchen I have seen in a rental. Great appliances and pots/pans/tools.

Great mountain getaway
Stayed here with our family over spring break and had a great time. The property is immaculate, has great views, is perfect for families, and has very nice amenities including the hot tub and fire place, which we used every day. This side of the mountains is slower paced but that was perfect for us as there is still plenty to do and the area isn't overdeveloped with cheesy tourist stuff. We had a very minor issue with the door code at check in and the host was super responsive and very nice. 10/10 would recommend this place.

Fantastic experience at Buttercup Haven
My family of six had a wonderful stay at Buttercup haven. The home was immaculate when we arrived and the host made everything easy for arrival and departure. The setting is spectacular with terrific views from both sides of the main floor and the hot tub. The home is beautifully furnished and is very comfortable, particularly the well appointed kitchen. This has to be one of the best short term rental experiences in this part of the country and we hope to experience it again.

A Beautiful home in the clouds!
Buttercup Haven is a beautifully appointed home. Decor is high end and comfortable. Sparkling clean and attention to detail really made our family getaway special!! The views were breathtaking and ever changing. Margaret, our host, was easy to contact if we had any questions. Everything was perfect and comfortable. I highly recommend! I doesn't get any better!

Buttercup Haven, A piece of Heaven in NC
We LOVED this cabin!! We spent more time in our cabin and enjoyed the company of one another and our meals together. Margaret was great to work with and she was always available if needed. The cabin was super clean and check-in and check-out was well organized. There was nothing we lacked, except more time to spend there. We’ll return again! C. Ingram and friends

20th Annual Girls Getaway
Absolutely breathtaking property! Beautiful views of the mountains. Clean and tastefully decorated home. Margaret, the home owner, was easy to communicate with and was readily available if we needed anything. We all had a great time in the area, plenty to do. We chased waterfalls, went rafting, visited Biltmore and dined at some fantastic restaurants. We will be back! Buttercup Haven was the perfect home to stay in for our Girls Getaway!

Beautiful property and unbelievable views!
Buttercup Haven is a beautiful mountain home. The pictures do not do this property justice. The views are breathtaking and the home was extremely beautiful. The home is stocked with anything you could possibly need but the grocery store and restaurants are a short 10/15 minute drive away. We did not want to come home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
