About this cottage rental

Kick back and relax in this calm, tasteful Highlands gem. Nestled in the Mirror Lake neighborhood among hemlocks, pines, rhododendrons and oaks, our cozy rental cottage has the best of all that Highlands, North Carolina has to offer. Newly renovated in 2022 with a screened-in porch and fire pit, this luxury cottage is the perfect spot for a getaway. Just a four minute drive to Main Street in downtown Highlands or walking distance through neighborhood streets and trails.

Highlands Hytte is a beautifully renovated mountain cottage that has been transformed into a cozy, luxurious getaway. With spaces for indoor and outdoor living, this cottage is the perfect spot to pause, unplug and restore.

// THE LOCATION //

Highlands Hytte is perfectly situated in a central location—just a four minute drive from Main Street in downtown Highlands. There's also a trail to walk downtown! The cottage is nestled in Mirror Lake, a charming historic neighborhood. Take a short walk down to the lake, find a spot on a bench and unwind.

// THE AREA //

Highlands, North Carolina is one of best mountain destinations in the Southeast. Lined with fantastic shopping and dining, Main Street in downtown Highlands is purely quintessential. Previously just a summer and fall vacation spot, Highlands is quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4118' elevation, Highlands is consistently 15-20 degrees cooler than many of the surrounding large cities. It's also one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, drawing nature lovers from all over the world. A mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, Highlands offers an abundance of opportunities for hiking, biking, fly fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding and ziplining—all with a beautiful backdrop of waterfalls, mountains and nature.

// THE PROPERTY //

The cottage is nestled within a grove of other quaint cabins in an easily accessible neighborhood in Highlands. Tucked among hemlocks, pines, rhododendrons and oaks, a private yard features a fire pit with four adirondack chairs. The screened-in porch off the back of the house also offers the opportunity to breathe in fresh mountain air. The side patio offers al-fresco dining and a grill.

// THE COTTAGE //

- Living room with Samsung Frame TV and wood-burning stove (perfect for game nights, wine nights, movies by the fire or just taking a few deep breaths).
- High-speed WiFi.
- Open-concept floor plan with natural light flooding in throughout.

- Second bedroom with queen bed, closet and single-vanity bathroom with shower.
- Cozy loft with twin beds to fit two additional guests.
- Both bathrooms equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and Weezie makeup towels.
- Travel crib and portable high chair available for families.
- S'mores ingredients and plenty of wood provided to make a fire.

With large outdoor living spaces and cozy, comfortable indoor living spaces, you'll quickly find Highlands Hytte to be a home away from home.

// THE DETAILS //

This house was just perfect for our family of four. It was in close proximity to downtown Highlands. We loved the screened in porch and outdoor fire pit. Host was kind to leave s'more fixings! House had all we needed and more. The loft area is very small, but my 16 yo son was able to fit up there and said he was comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

We recently stayed at this Cozy Cottage. It was perfect for our mother daughter trip. Everything was exactly as it was described. We loved being close to town and the area is very quiet and safe. The cottage had everything we need and the beds were comfy. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Our family loved our vacation staying in Highlands Hytte. The house was stocked with things we needed and was beautifully decorated. Plus, it was close to everything. The string of lights over the firepit was lovely, the loft was perfect for our ten-year old and the screened porch was divine for reading and morning coffee/tea. Five stars!

The property is exactly as described in listing! Very cute, and comfortable! Lots of touches that make this cottage so enjoyable to stay in. We loved the location as we could ride our e-bikes around the area and into town (10 minutes). It was cool enough to enjoy outside fire!!

Shannon was a wonderful host. Could not ask for anything else, adorable cottage tucked into the forest in a quite neighborhood, short distances to shops, dining, and the beautiful natural surroundings. Only wish I were staying longer.

My friend and I felt like it was Home away from Home. We're both homebodies and we throughly loved the cozy cottage. It gave us both room for ourselves after days of shopping, looking at beautiful waterfalls and delicious meals in downtown. Each detail was thought about by the owners well before we arrived. Especially enjoyed the screen in porch and the simple detail of having extension cord for easy reach for cell phones.

All the details were thought through. We were so pleased with the cottage and all it had to offer. The screened in porch and fire pit area were great additional living spaces for our family of 4.

Great cozy cottage for our 4 night winter stay. Downtown Highlands was a 3 minute drive and the Mirror Lake neighborhood has always been one of our favorite spots. We enjoyed the warmth and glow of the wood stove, only wished it had been warm enough to enjoy the inviting porch. We will save that for next time!

For such a tiny place this property sure has it all! We really enjoyed our stay. I was excited to keep all five members of our family (2, 7, and 10, plus my husband and myself) close as can be. Sometimes big houses offer so much space…but less connection as a result. My husband thought I was a little crazy. I loved that the hosts thought to put extra towels in the house since longer stays sometimes require washing if there aren’t extras. There WAS a laundry machine squeezed in which was also extremely useful. The kids loved the loft though I had paranoia about the gaps in the railing. It would be nice to have a TV in the master so kids could sleep upstairs without parents sacrificing movie night, but we were happy to read books etc instead. Kitchen was lovely. We all had a place to sit for family movies, even though we were doubtful we’d fit from the photos! Fireplace /stove worked great. Loved the little wet bar area. Aesthetics were just beautiful which was the top reason I booked:). I am very impressed.

This Cottage is truly cozy. A beautiful setting and perfect location. We loved the morning walks to town and couldn't have enjoyed the screened porch and fire pit more. We had everything we needed and more in this sweet space. The second bedroom is a bit small, but not a deal breaker.

This cottage is well designed and not overdone in both the architectural improvements and in the decor. The location was very convenient to the heart of Highlands. The screened in porch was a particular favorite of mine. The owner is very responsive!!!!

The house is small, but that did not make a difference to us. When not hiking or zip lining, we spent the majority of our time on the screened in porch or at the fire pit. This house is very tastefully furnished with lots of little surprising extras. We will definitely stay again.

I researched cities to find one that restricted loud fireworks. Highlands, NC does not allow this type so we made reservations. The night before July 4th someone in the neighborhood set off fireworks so loud that it sounded like a war zone. I called the police but could not provide an address - just an area. We left the next day. The owner was very nice but it was a disappointing trip.
