Clean, spacious and comfortable

We were just a few minutes away from the best Mexican restaurant, it was amazing! The beds and pillows were comfortable, the place was super clean! Plenty of space and everything we needed in the kitchen was there. We were very happy with our unit and would love to stay again sometime.

Great mountain getaway

What a beautiful place to stay in the mountains! The two bedroom condo was quiet and comfortable and very clean. In addition the amenities were amazing with an indoor pool and 2 hot tubs and an outdoor pool, also a fun miniature golf course and ping pong and pool tables. The hospitality was top notch, kept checking back with us- changed rooms for us because of noise! A great mountain get away!!
Kerri, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a nice place to stay. Nothing special and no great views. The brewery and the golf course are currently closed (August/Sept 2025). The check in is next to Cashiers and then you will drive to the condo style hotel room which is about a mile away. It’s conveniently located next to Cashiers and the one ski slope. It’s an average place to stay but an above average room. The rooms were very clean and well kept with a nice fireplace.

Beautiful area. Nice staff. Full kitchen, nice bathrooms, very clean.
Zoltan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a beautiful suite, very comfortable bed, recently updated, very quiet beautiful setting from our balcony, in our suite we could hear our neighbors like they were in our kitchen. We were disappointed that the pools , lake, mini golf and all other outside amenities are back in town where you check in. But we loved our suite and would stay there again.

The deluxe one bedroom was comfortable and roomy. The patio was perfect for enjoying the Spring weather.

Difficult to find, but very nice!
Merry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The suite was cozy, clean, and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the towels were soft. Because they're working on road repairs, it's about a 15-minutes drive from the suite to US-64. There aren't many places to eat nearby, but the suite has a fully equipped kitchen
Jeannette, 3-night trip

It was amazing! I couldn't believe the space and all the comfort the unit had to offer, especially for the price point! It's truly an amazing deal!

Great front desk staff. Physical unit was a little hard to get to at first, but amazing inside. Well kept, very clean and spacious! Amenities are nice and keep you busy if you want them to.

As always a great stay. We’ve stayed here many times and it’s great for families. So clean and great location.

I had a wonderful stay at Fairway Forest thanks to the amazing service provided by the staff. Cora Lee and Nicole at the front desk went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, offering helpful tips about the area and always greeting me with a warm smile. Moreover, Billie, the manager, was exceptionally kind and eager to assist, ensuring my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, the hospitality I experienced made my visit truly memorable, and I can’t wait to return!

Fantastic Stay

What a great place! Sparkling clean, great balcony, comfy bed, a full kitchen, spectacular shower room, washer/dryer, and even a small living room area. But best of all was the staff. Everyone I met was so friendly and helpful. I should have doubled my 4-night stay!!
