This was our third stay at High Hemlock and it’s still as magical as before. We love staying here and feel so recharged by the time we leave. It’s convenient to town but feels like you’re alone in the woods. We’ll be back I’m sure!

We loved our stay at High Hemlock! The house is so homey & is decorated beautifully! Everything we needed was provided! Would 10/10 recommend to friends! We’ll be back!

Exactly as it says. Great spot. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very walkable into town and the photos are exactly what you experience. There are a few steps up into the house and while there is another property behind the house, it felt very private. We enjoyed the proximity to town, the fireplace and even though we didn't use it very much: the channel line up was impressive. The beds were cozy and it seemed like there was limitless hot water.

Wonderful cabin for family of four. Fenced in yard was perfect for two family dogs to explore. Great location on a quiet street within walking distance of downtown.

We loved this cabin! It was perfect for a family winter mountain weekend. We enjoyed ice skating in Highlands and the Polar Express in Bryson City. We left with full hearts. Thank you for opening your home to us!

We totally enjoyed our stay at High Hemlock. It is a beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing get away. The cabin is in a quiet area and close to all that downtown Highlands has to offer. Our two dogs loved romping in the fenced yard. The mountain themed decor was comfortable and lovely. When we return to the area we will definitely rent this cabin from Kristy again. She was very responsive in every way.

Incredible property! Just a fun house and so so close to downtown. Front porch is gorgeous and so is the surrounding foliage. No reason not to book this house over and over!

This cabin was perfect! It was clean, well-appointed, and very cozy. It was an easy walk into town and to all the local hiking trails. We had a wonderful vacation.

My husband and I were very pleased with our stay in the High Hemlock cabin. The cabin was stylishly furnished and had everything one needed. The interior looked new and meticulously clean. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and warm quilts. The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals, with higher end cookware and knives. We particularly enjoyed the spacious porch with rockers. We definitely would choose to stay here again.

Our stay at High Hemlock was wonderful. The cabin is cozy, sophisticated, and well appointed. We would definitely stay again!

This trip was for Mother’s Day. Whit asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and I said 3 nights at High Hemlock. We have stayed in this lovely cabin many, many times since 2015. I book it regularly for the week of my birthday because that is where I want to be. Kristy is a gracious host and takes good care of us. High Hemlock is cozy, peaceful and well appointed.

We have stayed at High Hemlock multiple times and it never disappoints. We love everything about it and is hands down our favorite spot. We will def. be back!

This is our 2nd visit to High Hemlock and we loved every minute! Kristy is an incredible person to rent from and all of the furnishings are amazing. It had everything we needed and more.. and we can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great break from work to relax!

We could not have been more pleased with the property or our stay. The cabin is furnished with everything you could imagine you would need. We walked into town multiple times a day. Every Elevate property is special...High Hemlock among them.

We loved this two bedroom 2.5 cabin. It is 10 minute walk from downtown, but is perched on a hill and feels like it is in the mountains. The place was spotless. We enjoyed the fireplace and using the front porch in the evening.

We loved this cozy cabin situated so close to town! We were able to walk to restaurants and go on a hike without getting in our car. The cabin is nice and updated as a well. Great stay and great location!

We’ve stayed in many places in Highlands over the years and this is now one of my favorites. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We especially loved the large fenced in yard for our four legged family member. We can’t wait to stay here again!

This house is perfect, for a stay while in Highlands. The feel of the house helps set the tone while in Highlands. The decor and architecture of the house is up to date and appears to be professionally done. Just a note: When we stayed in the house the temperature in Highlands was in the 30’s so it was rather cold for those of us from Florida, so we had to use the heater in the house, The bedrooms got nice and toasty but then the common area was probably 10 degrees colder. Once I closed the fire place damper, the house temperature evened out (some one will say, duh). I would definitely stay here again!

I have a broken bone in my foot, and did not ask about the trek from car to house. It was long and steep, but my partner did not mind at all. There is no view, but downtown is very close and, despite my problems walking, we had a wonderful time. A very nicely appointed house.

Home is in a perfect spot as it is isolated and quiet but convenient to town-it’s easy to pop down the street to grab dinner, shop, etc. We arrived in the middle of a storm to find the power out! Despite that, we enjoyed wine and cheese with a fire in the cozy den our first evening. Would highly recommend this location for a couples getaway or girls weekend!

Any of Kristy’s properties (which I’ve stayed at all of them I believe by now) are absolutely perfect! They are all very comfortable and stylish and in great locations. High Hemlock is just the right amount of space for two couples or a small family .. great location and the additional half bath really does help for a small group. You are nestled among the trees, but not even a mile from town which is so convenient. Terrific in every way, nice kitchen, comfy beds, extremely clean and TV’s that are easy to use! Easy, fast communication …. never have any problems when we stay there. Always sad to leave Highlands and Kristy’s houses. We will return!

We made our first trip to Highlands in 2015 where we rented High Hemlock from Kristy. We have booked it many times since then. It has become the place we go to rest and recharge. It’s the place we reconnect with family and friends. If I need extra space I book the Adirondack Cottage next door. They are both so cozy and comfortable. We love being able to walk to town for breakfast at Mountain Fresh, or to hike up Sunset Mountain, or for a spin through the Botanical Gardens. Kristy is a superb host. She is accessible and quick to respond to any question or request. I booked our next stay the day I got home.

House is adorable, well equipped, and in a great location.

We had an incredible time in The Highlands. We absolutely loved this property. The customer service was spectacular. The home was cozy and clean. The decor was like something out of a magazine. The location was perfect. We walked into town to get coffee and to amazing restaurants. We can’t wait to come back.

We were very please with High Hemlock. Location is awesome, walking distance to town. The house is clean and comfortable and well equipped. We will definitely rent from Elevate again.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Close enough to town but tucked away for total peace and quiet. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Cannot wait to return!

High Hemlock exceeded our expectations in many ways. The pics don’t really do it justice. The decor, beds, amenities, and proximity to town can’t be beat. Our dogs loved the fully fenced yard and laying on the porch. Kristy was wonderful to deal with and is super responsive and helpful. We cannot wait to book our next stay!!

The cottage is in a great location close to Main Street & all the restaurants/shops. The decor has the perfect mountain cottage feel & loved every detail. Perfect size for two couples, each bedroom has private en suite. Owners respond promptly and provided great service.

This is the second year in a row we’ve stayed at High Hemlock in early February. We’ve seen snow on the ground both years, and really enjoyed being in Highlands during a quieter time of the year. The cabin is quickly becoming one of our favorite vacation spots. There’s everything you need for a short or long stay, it’s dog friendly, and you immediately feel at home thanks to many small touches throughout the house. The kitchen is impressively stocked and ready for any kind of cooking or baking you’d like to do, and the books, fireplace, TVs, and internet make it difficult to want to leave the house. While being within walking distance of town, the cabin feels very private and makes it easy to disconnect. Definitely recommend!

This was a wonderful house to relax in. It was a perfect retreat for our 2 couples of family, plenty of privacy, yet lots of togetherness. The house itself was so private and hidden from the road, yet in a great location. It was super clean and well decorated yet still felt like a cabin in the woods. It was very quiet and peaceful. Loved the big porch with nice natural view. Great layout and comfy beds. We were plenty warm even though it dropped below 20 one night.Bonus that it is dog friendly and fenced. We will be back.

We rented High Hemlock the first time in 2015 and we stayed for a month. We have rented it several times since. High Hemlock is high-end cozy and comfortable. Kristy is a wonderful host. What we love most is that we can walk to town….to Mountain Fresh, to shopping, to dining, to Sunset and Sunrise Rocks, to the Botanical Garden, to the Wine Shoppe. If our family wants to join us, we rent Adirondack Cottage next door. It’s another gem. Our next stay is already in the books.
