You are minutes from scenic waterfalls and hiking trails. Enjoy cooking your own meals, paddle a kayak on the lake or fish for bass or brim from a private dock. Enjoy eating on the covered porch or two decks, and watching the hummingbirds fly by. Wonderful for a family vacation or romantic getaway!

Loved the house. It's an open and airy design, so with kids, it could get a bit noisy. Lovely property. Recommend using the fireplace. We bought a pallet of kiln dried Oak from the landscape company right down the road and burned the whole thing. Super nice.....

Me, My boyfriend, and our dog absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cabin. The location was so perfect and in a quiet neighborhood. We loved being so close to downtown! We will definitely be back!

The house is simple but still offers all you need. Pond behind is nice and is fun to fish. The road up and down the mountain into and out of Highlands can be unnerving. Especially when all the workers coming in or leaving Highlands.

This house was amazing, a true hidden gem. Minutes away from both downtown and great hiking trails! The outside porch and dock are a great outdoor relaxing areas. The home had everything you need, very clean. We spent most of our time hiking, longest drive was about 30 minutes away. The owners were very responsive with all questions. If you pass up renting this house it will be a mistake.

This property can’t be beat. Fantastic host, wonderful house, and peaceful location on a private lake. We are repeat guests and the house is well-maintained. It was cold while we were there and it was so nice to use the fireplace. This is our favorite place in Highlands.

If you are looking for a cabin in the North Carolina mountains, this is your place. It’s close to the downtown area and on a private lake. It has everything you need for a relaxing retreat. We arrived at peak leaf changing season and checked in with no problems. A special treat was the twinkle lights around the porch.
Poo poori was a nice touch in the bathrooms; fireplace was awesome for us Floridians. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and even spices. It has a very nice walkway down to the dock of the lake. My husband counted 50 steps. The beds were comfortable and one bathroom had a jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch overlooking the lake. The location was awesome.

Mary Ann and her family were super nice! Very nice home with wonderful location. All the comforts of home and more made it a wonderful month! Thank you!

This is a perfect house in a perfect location. The owner has provided everything you could need, from area guide books and walking sticks, to cuddly furniture and a big-screen TV with cable for chilly nights, to bottled herbs for cooking. We had a hard time getting ourselves off the beautiful deck after coffee in the morning - the hummingbirds provided a great show at the feeders, and view of the woods down to the lake was lovely. The photos don't do it justice.

Our family (including dog) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Mary Ann is a fantastic host, and was super responsive to the one minor issue that occurred when we were there. The pictures don't do the home justice, as it is actually more spacious than it appears. We stayed for 5 full weeks and the use of the lake for fishing and kayaking was an added bonus for our teenage daughters. Look forward to staying again sometime!

Lovely weekend in the Highlands
The house is beautiful and right on the bank of a lake. The pictures don’t do justice to the house. Mary Anne is a very warm, responsive and accommodating host!

Lovely house. Excellent location close to Highway 64. This was appreciated as many Highland rentals can be remote.
We enjoyed having our dog with us. The deck was great to hang out on and had a gate so we didn't have to worry about our dog wandering off. There is a quiet road next to the property and we were able to walk our dog on a one mile loop on days when we did not take her with us.
The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. The owner was accessible when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Another wonderful stay
We are repeat guests at this home. We love the layout of the home, location, covered back porch, fireplace and lake view. It was cold while we were there and enjoyed having a fire going in the fireplace. The owner is very communicative and this has become our go to spot in Highlands. It stays pretty booked, plan ahead to reserve your dates.

My family and I had a great time over Christmas at this cabin. It’s close to town too! We’ll be back.

Location was excellent! Cabin was exactly as described and has everything you need. Host was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. We had a hiccup with checking in but Mary Ann was fast to respond and find a resolution. The property has a lot of space for kids to explore, including the dock and beautiful view of the water. Our family of four and dog had the best time and we would come back to the cabin again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

The house was nice and clean, and the porch and lake are lovely. Only things that might cause problems: the steps to the loft are steep, an older person might have trouble, and the driveway is also steep but we got in and out fine. The owners were very responsive when we called.

Had an amazing time while staying there. Very clean, kitchen fully stocked and
A great outside porch area overlooking the pond. Would definitely stay again. Perfect!

We stayed here for a wedding in the Highlands. The kitchen was great, I found all the cooking utensils and containers I needed for every meal.
The porch enclosure was great for pets and the pond was very pretty in the fall.
If you stay for several days or have a lot of people, you may want to consider taking your trash, recyclables throughout your stay versus waiting till the end. It is really close and not a big deal, just didn’t think about taking it throughout.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again!

This property was one of the best we have ever rented! It was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we could want - the kitchen was amazing, the dock and lake were wonderful, and the porch was delightful. I only wish we had booked it for longer!

Another great stay
This was our third stay at this property this year. We love the location, airy bright house and fabulous deck. The kitchen is well-equipped and the house is very clean. Perfect for a relaxing few days. The location is close to town and the setting on the lake is very peaceful. Will look forward to returning! The host, Mary Ann, is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Highly recommend this property.

My wife and I plus two small dogs just returned from a weeks stay at Mary Ann’s Highlands home. It was a great stay. We found the home to be very nice, a well stocked kitchen, comfy accommodations and cool mountain air. The location in Highlands provides for easy access to all the area has to offer. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high country getaway.
4.8
Pros:
Location - Driving within 10 minutes to downtown, hikes and waterfalls
Responsiveness - Had hiccup with check in process and also a minor rodent problem. Owner communicated right away with me and also gave me a slight refund for my troubles.
Kitchen - has every cooking item you need and two sinks!
Cons:
Walkability - for my family, we like to walk around without getting in the car, the road in front of the house was slightly too busy to do that with a stroller.
Cleanliness/Property - Minor rodent issue, master shower pools while you are taking a shower, some lights work infrequently, my husband had to clean off the grill
