House was clean and fully stocked with everything we could ever need. A gift bottle of wine was an unexpected surprise, especially after the 6-hour drive to get there. The location was perfect for all of our wedding events, the daytime hikes to waterfalls, and trips into town. I highly recommend staying in this cozy cabin!

Loved the location. The upstairs bed wasn’t super comfortable and the house had a bit of a smell to it. Other than those two things it was great!

This may have been the cleanest vacation home we've ever rented - it was stocked and ready with everything we needed, it was immaculate and made it very easy to feel right at home. Keith was in great touch with us and made himself available if we needed anything. The proximity to town made it super convenient. We would not hesitate to stay here again - the house was great.

We arrived on Thursday & the hurricane was supposed to bring bad weatherKeith & I talked before our arrival about possibilities. Weather was great, cottage was well appointed and all was super. Perfect long weekend with my daughters. Comfortable beds, great bedrooms and bathrooms, fireplace was super for a cozy evening fire. It was a wonderful place for us and I would love to go back again!!

The setting, particularly the grounds, were beautiful. The home was well stocked, and about every need anticipated. We had a plumbing problem while there and the owner was somehow able to get a plumber to come out on a Sunday to fix everything. Well done and we hope to stay there again.

We could not have been happier with our stay. The house was very much like the description. Close to town yet in the Nantahala forest. Great location! We cooked home 3 nights, with our choice or the green egg or the weber. Great kitchen very well stocked. Keith was a great host! He went out of his way to be sure we were happy with our stay. Thanks Again Tim

Amazing!
This property is a must see and stay! Keith, the owner, was extremely gracious. The internet was down and he sent us champagne and then a partial refund! So unexpected both times. We would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone! Very peaceful and close to downtown but far enough away for quiet. We WILL definitely be back!

Highlands Long Weekend
The property was outstanding with amazing attention to detail. Everything we needed was there. Location is perfect, close to downtown but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Beautiful front porch with rockers where we ate dinner. Overall a 5 star property.

Everything we needed and more
We had a wonderful (but too short) stay at this house. Keith was a great host (now friend) and the house was so much more equipped than most rentals. We were very comfortable and can’t wait to come back again.

Nice dog friendly cabin in Highlands
Enjoyed our stay at Bowery Road cabin. The property location really suited our needs. The cabin was a bit small for 5 adults, especially with the loft space being unfurnished. The loft would have been a nice additional seating to have a cup of coffee and read.. Bedding was fine but we had a few of us who would have preferred down alternative pillows. Kitchen was well stocked only comment would be better lighting in kitchen/living room.

Ideal 4 days in Highlands
We could not have been more thrilled with our stay. The cabin is back off the road in a beautiful wooded setting, immaculately clean with a nicely appointed kitchen, comfortable living area, cool decor, a relaxing front porch with four rockers and less than 5 minute drive to lots of activities and to downtown Highlands. Keith was out of town but called to check in with us. Perfect!

Escaping Florida Heat
We had a great stay in HIghlands and the weather did not disappoint. The owner, Keith, is very knowledgeable about the area and loves to share his knowledge of Italian cooking and wines. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked and included All-Clad cookware, a barbecue pit, and a Green Egg for grilling. My wife really enjoyed "glamping" in this cabin in the woods.

Wonderful cabin in Highlands!
This property is so impressive! Quiet surroundings, yet short, easy drive to town (Highlands). Very clean, well appointed interior. Loved the covered front porch. The home’s owner was friendly and quick to respond to all of our questions. All of the beds were very comfortable. We hope to stay again.

Quiet house in the woods.
We had a lovely stay in this sweet little house nestled in a woodsy area near the Nantahala National Forest. It was the best of both worlds, we were in a quiet location, but just a hop, skip, and a jump to the quaint town of Highlands NC. We highly recommend.

Cozy Cabin
Great cabin with a great location. We were in town for a long weekend of wedding festivities. The location was perfect for us to get around to all the events and so welcoming to come “home” to each evening!

Private beautiful setting with rocking chair front porch
Keith’s house appears newish or recently renovated. It is a simple drive to downtown and set in a beautifully landscaped, private wooded lot. The house is very clean and very well equipped. Loved his Viking stove and AlClad! If you are à Garcia fan you will particularly enjoy the artwork! The stairs to the upstairs owner’s bedroom are steep and would not work for some, but there are two additional small bedrooms on the main floor. I would recommend this house and the owner was great to work with!

Great location in Highlands
We loved our stay at this property. It was in a very quiet, calm area with beautiful surroundings. We were traveling with an 18 month old, so we loved that it was close to town to eat/pick up items from the grocery. We also loved that it was near some fantastic hikes (Whiteside Mountain was our favorite) and very close to the Highlands Botanical Garden which we visited several times. The owner was great to work with and very accommodating. The place was super clean, too. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed our time at this cabin. The layout is great and the kitchen has everything you need to make wonderful meals. It is a short drive to town and has a large comfortable porch. The area is serene and there are lots of amazing trails and waterfalls to see nearby. We hope to stay again!

Fantastic Stay!
The pictures in the listing do not do this home justice, it truly is a gem! Charming, eclectic log home in the woods, located a stone's throw from delightful downtown Highlands and all the waterfalls and hiking trails you'd ever want to find. The home was spotless, even the wood burning fireplace looked freshly swept. We had no negative issues with the property whatsoever, and as a huge bonus, the home's owner, Keith, was extremely friendly, easy to contact via email and quick to respond. I cannot say enough nice things about our stay. We will definitely return!

Perfect getaway for the holidays
What a fantastic stay we had at Keith's property. The home was clean, well stocked with necessities (soap, kitchen utensils, linens...) which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our stay. Don't let the square footage fool you - the layout is such that it feels like a big house. We had two adults and three grown children and never felt on top of each other. The location of the home is ideal - a short 1.5 mile drive to beautiful Highlands, but the lot is such that you feel secluded. A perfect combination! We'll be back!
