Reviewer Comments:
It's a beautiful cabin on a very narrow, twisty, dirt road. I was scared driving it at night so tried to be back before dark. The day view is magnificent from the deck.

We love this home! This is our 15th year at Leatherwood, and High Horse is our favorite. Very easy to get in and out of, always in perfect condition, great wrap around deck.

We spent a week in beautiful Leatherwood Mountains at the lovely High Horse. Spectacular views from the wonderful wrap around deck. Very welcoming and comfortable family space. The Leatherwood employees at were very accommodating and pleasant. We took a 1 hour trail ride (wishing we had time for more) and our guide was exceptional. If you are looking to disconnect (this home has fiber optic internet so you don't have to fully disconnect) and relax, this is the place to do it.

Very relaxing time away. Leatherwood offers so many beautiful aspects of nature to allow a person to relax and unwind. I’ve stayed in several different houses in Leatherwood over the years. This stay in High Horse was a little disappointing when compared to other houses. It was very nicely decorated and very well furnished, especially in the kitchen. However this house needs some repairs and better maintenance. The roof leaks at the doors near the tv kitchen cabinet doors were loose and the front windows have frames that have rotted away. The biggest disappointment was the hot tub. This tub is in great disrepair. There are no filters and the waterlogged cover weighs 300 pounds and broken into two parts. It had not been cleaned when we arrived. Upon leaving it was brought to my attention that the owner and Leatherwood were aware of the situation. It was also mentioned that the owner ordered new hot tub several months ago. Rentals in Leatherwood are not cheap and I feel that houses and especially hot tubs should be kept in good condition or customers should be made aware of known problems prior to arrival.
