My favorite place to stay in Cashiers!

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.
Susan, 2-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

Hidden Gem

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.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

A beautiful and well-appointed resort in gorgeous surroundings. Beds were comfortable, basic toiletries provided, even a tiny puff sponge for showers! We only stayed one night but would have enjoyed a longer stay.

Emanuel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and updated room. Comfortable bed. Good water pressure in the shower. Decent towels. Good shampoo, body wash and lotion provided. Full kitchen with full size appliances and dishwasher, laundry. Kitchen has dishes, pots/pans, silverware. Very comfortable and we felt safe. We had the deluxe suite which has everything on the same level (no climbing a flight of stairs to get to the bedroom). Would stay there again when going to Gorges State Park.

Great Basecamp to Explore Sapphire Valley

I recently stayed at Fairway Forest and it was a pleasnt surprise. The service was great. The one bedroom standard suite was clean and recently remodeled. The location was perfect for a basecamp to explore the area and hike in Panthertown Valley.
Mark, 2-night trip

We have been going to Cashiers and Fairway Forest for over 35 years. We keep going back which tells you how much we like the facilities and the area.
Phil, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and well stocked

The price was right and turned out to be a condo. The lower level of a duplex building amongst many others of the same design, surrounded by woods and golf fairways. Super clean and well stocked with what was needed.
Joseph, 2-night trip

Twisty roads and unlocked connecting door

We found that driving up to our unit was concerning. It was a 2 1/2 mile drive on twisty roads that were scary. Apparently an easier way to access the unit was closed because of a road washout. Also, the connecting door between our unit and the other unit was not locked and we had to call for maintenance to lock it, so we couldn’t leave the unit until maintenance responded.

Heat wasn’t working So we froze, but everything else was great!

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay and received great value for the accommodations. The staff checking in and checking out were great. The property is not as close to the check-in location as I thought but that was okay because it was situated in a very quiet place up on the mountain per se. My only negative is the amenities fee charged for my one-night stay in which I really cannot use. Check-in time is 4 and the pools, mini-golf, games, etc close at 5. By the time one checks in, drives to the unit and then has to drive back to the rec center it's almost 5. Check-out is at 10 and the place opens at 8 but I am not in a rush to go do those activities at 8 am. Would have been nice if the amenities were available until 7 or 8 at least. The price was right so the fee is not that much of a big deal other than I couldn't really use what I paid for.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome place…. Except when it snows.

The accommodations were perfect. The unit was newly renovated and beautifully done. The only problem was it snowed very hard when I was there and didn’t get to enjoy any of the amenities they offer due to being closed for ice on the roads. You pay for the amenities card as part of your booking, but everything was closed and no possibility of ever using the card. I called and asked for a refund for the amenities portion and got some excuse that wasn’t acceptable. I hate it, but I’ll never book Fairway Forest again over the poor excuse about the refund, but it’s a very nice place indeed.

Fairway Forest Resort

Things to note: The check-in office is 1.7 miles from the actual resort. The gym and some of the other amenities are not in the resort, but are across the street from the check-in office, so the photos listed are not necessarily from the resort grounds but across the street from the check-in at the community center (such as the gym/swimming pool/pretty bridge, etc). From where our room was in the resort, it was a 3.2 mile drive to the gym. You will also be charged a daily resort-use fee, whether you use the facilities or not. None of this is explained on the website, or on hotels.com.
