This is the second time that we have stayed in Higher Ground and hope to stay again the next time we visit. The cabin has everything you could want for a wonderful stay. It is super clean, private yet centrally located in Wear Valley. Beautifully decorated, big porches to enjoy the mountain air. Thanks to the management staff for offering this clean beautiful cabin.
