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. You will also enjoy the renovated bathroom. 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 ready 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 very quaint and comfortable cabin located close to downtown Highlands. 5 stars. AC worked well. Nicely decorated. TV/Internet worked well. This is not a critique, but the only downside would be the kitchen is small and there is no dishwasher. Very basic in terms of cooking potential. Everything else is great and we look forward to renting again!

Everything was as listed and the area was super - was able to walk down to the lake to go canoeing and we walked into town several times - we like to walk and hike, so walking into town was an adventure itself. We used the fire place and it worked fabulously.
