About this cottage rental
Authentic & Old Highland Cottage updated for the modern era, nestled on two wooded acres, including a creek and walking trails.
The cabin offers a relaxing queen bedroom, a cozy bedroom with one twin bed and a twin bunk bed. There is also the option of a foldout couch for additional sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is a part of the living room and allows everyone to be included in the activity. It is equipped with storage and most items you would normally need for preparation. The dining table is perfect for a family meal or game night. Others may prefer to unwind in the leather chair or chaise lounge and enjoy a fire. Children and adults alike will enjoy wandering the property and discovering fun hideouts, the creek, a tree house, a pavilion by the creek, and a swing for further thrills.
A short walk takes you to Mirror Lake or Lake Sequoia to feed the ducks, fish or canoe. We have a canoe for your use at Mirror Lake. Fishing gear is provided as well.
Enjoy an afternoon reading in the front porch swing or napping by the fire.
For the adventurous type, there are many opportunities for longer hikes and visits to waterfalls, some only minutes away. You can also enjoy zip lining or rafting and tubing by traveling only a short bit. If you're looking for winter activity, nearby Sapphire Valley offers skiing and snow tubing. Maggie Valley Skiing in a hour and a half away.
For the shopping and dining enthusiasts, the downtown of Highlands is only minutes away and boasts fine, locally owned shops, unique restaurants and wine choices, galleries and antiquing. There is also a spa in town that offers the ultimate in luxurious relaxation. Just a 20 minute scenic drive away, Cashiers, NC offers further shopping excursions and dining.

This is a lovely cozy cottage!! We enjoyed our stay! It was in a great location, close to downtown Highlands. The host was very accommodating. I loved spending time out on the front porch/deck.

Generally, it is a lovely little cottage in a very quiet area. We would say that the uneven stone and wood entrance steps can be a bit challenging when covered in wet leaves, the tree swing is broke and so would be a bit hazardous for kids to use, and there doesn't seem to be any insulation under the floors so they are very cold in winter weather. But the owners have provided 2 roll-around electric heaters that came in handy to warm up the bathroom in the morning.

Real feel of a country cabin near to the town of Highlands. Felt at home. Loved the porch and big living room space.
