Two Miles From the Best Town in the Mountains.

There's a particular kind of morning that only happens at a lakefront property — the one where you're outside with coffee before anyone else is awake, the water is completely still, and the mountains are just starting to catch the light. Lake Sequoyah does this exceptionally well. And this home, with its private dock, newly renovated deck, and unobstructed lake views from nearly every room, puts you right in the middle of it.

Four bedrooms. Three bathrooms. A full entertainment level that keeps everyone happy when they're not on the water. And two miles of easy road between you and downtown Highlands whenever the outside world calls.

The Main Level Lives for the View - The great room announces the lake immediately — bright, open, and oriented to make the most of the water views that stretch out beyond the deck. Casual meals happen at the bar, longer ones pull everyone to the dining area, and the two king bedrooms on this level give the adults in the group the quiet, lake-facing retreats they came here for. The primary suite is luxurious in the way that actually matters — calm, comfortable, and waking up to water. The second king room delivers the same peaceful lake views with slightly less ceremony, which is not a complaint.

Downstairs, the Trip Gets Fun - The lower level is where vacation momentum builds. Ping pong. A gaming table. A cozy library for whoever needs a quieter corner. A PS4 for movie nights or gaming sessions that run later than anyone planned. Two additional bedrooms — a bunk room that the kids will claim immediately and a fourth king bedroom for overflow adults — share a full bathroom with walk-in shower. A laundry room on this level means longer stays are fully supported and packing light is a legitimate strategy.

The Dock, the Deck, the Whole Point Step outside and the property reveals its best feature: a newly renovated deck and patio flowing down to a private dock on Lake Sequoyah. Kayaks in the morning. Fishing off the dock in the afternoon. Sunset from the deck with something cold in hand as the lake goes from gold to still. This outdoor sequence — from the patio to the dock and back — is the kind of thing that fills the days without any planning required and generates the photos that make everyone else wish they'd come.

Lake Sequoyah is quiet, clean, and genuinely beautiful. Having a private dock on it is the kind of thing that turns a good mountain trip into the one your group talks about for years afterward.

Highlands, Two Miles Away - Waterfalls, hiking trails, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, the Old Edwards Inn and Spa — all of it is two miles down the road. Highlands is one of those towns that rewards every season: mild summers perfect for the lake, fall color that stops you mid-sentence, winter scenery that makes the fireplace feel essential. Come whenever you can. The dock will be waiting.

What our guests are saying…

"New Years 2022. Highlands Lake Sequoyah Lodge was everything we had hoped it would be. Beautiful view of Lake Sequoyah off the back porch. Spacious rooms to accommodate all guests. We had a blast being able to use the kayak's on the lake. Thank you so much for an amazing weekend stay and we look forward to returning in the future!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Logan

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sequoyah Lake Lodge! The home was clean, comfortable and the views of the Lake were amazing. We sincerely appreciated the number of kayaks and other floating devices made available. We sincerely hope to make this an annual event. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Loved the views of the lake. It was clean and spacious. It served our group perfectly. I hope we are able to use the space again next year. This group of friends loves getting together in Highlands.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2020
Good news: Convenient location Beautiful back view Large house Good amenities Lots of seating Bad news: Terrible location - very near the main highway (64) with very dangerous and difficult entering and exiting the driveway. "Zero" front appeal Both simple and more significant maintenance needed: cobwebs inside, dirty, stained and bunched up carpeting, garage remote not working, lower level Adirondack chairs rotted and one broken, main tv not working, Light out over downstairs that we could not access to change Did report some of the maintenance issues as instructed on our second day but never heard back
