About this house rental
Witt's End at Mill Creek is a quaint mountain cottage that is walk to town -- only 2 blocks from Main Street Highlands, NC! Privately set down a small wooded cul-de-sac road, enjoy the in-town convenience but with the sounds of the creek and nature from the screened in porch.
The main living area includes soaring cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows around a stone gas fireplace for lots of natural light in this open living/dining/kitchen floor plan.
The Main level master bedroom offers a King-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Also on this level is a guest bedroom that includes two twin beds and another full bathroom in the hallway. Upstairs is a bonus Master Suite with a King bed and an ensuite bath with a soaking tub.
Off the living room is a spacious screened porch with an outdoor dining area, cozy seating and access to the open deck with grill. Walk down to the lower open deck and relax your day away listening to the sounds of the rushing creek below.
There's no better place to be when you're at your "Witt's End" than here in Highlands!

This home is close to town and has a nice back porch where you can hear the river, however, you cannot access the river because the lower part is grown up in vines. We were uneasy because the bottom level of home was not accessible to us.(but could be by someone else) Home did not have a designated parking spot. We had to walk to front of drive /road at office so our dogs would have a place to potty or down the street at dog park. I do not feel this is a dog friendly property because of this,especially at night.

Great location, clean rooms, lovely common areas to congregate with friends. The only negative was the hot water in the upstairs bathroom, specifically the bathtub. The other bathrooms worked just fine!

Comfortable for 4 adults. Super location with easy walkability to down town Highlands. Fresh paint and new carpet would go a long way in lifting this property up.

Enjoyed our stay at Witts End. House was spacious and clean. Fireplace was lovely. I would stay there again. however, for what it costs the driveway and parking area are lacking. One way drive way makes coming and going tricky as there are multiple units along the drive, and parking spaces are limited and tight. It is also not paved, we happened to be there when there was a couple days of rain and it was quite muddy and you couldn't get in or out of your car without stepping in mud or water puddles, not so good for the footwear. Also, the tv situation in the bedrooms could be better, our room had a vintage computer monitor connected to dish network. In the modern era it's standard to have larger, and smart tv's, would've been nice to have better tv setup.
