The host was very supportive and welcoming. They helped us from the get go and made our stay wonderful. The home itself is so very charming. Attention to detail is evident everywhere u look! A luxurious log cabin in a charming town in the beautiful NC mountains…what could be better?

This is a beautiful cabin located close to downtown Highlands. It is just as welcoming inside as it is outside. We were in awe the moment we pulled into the driveway. The accommodations were so comfortable and we felt like we were “home.” The hosts were easy to communicate with and we certainly plan to book this again!

The cabin was very clean and smartly appointed with everything you'll need to enjoy meals in-house. There was plenty of firewood, games and puzzles to have a fun cozy evening. While Mountain Fresh Grocery has an extensive wine selection, their groceries are limited and very expensive. Shop at Bryson's Food Store for a full service grocery store. Dry Falls are a must to visit and an easy walk. Whiteside Mountain Trail is a great 2 mile hike with tremendous views...take some snacks and enjoy the view. We would highly recommend this cabin!
