The cabin was very cute and cozy! It was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and had plenty of firewood. Our pups loved exploring the area and the lovely Sparkling Lake. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cabin retreat
I’m no stranger to Highlands, NC but this was one of my favorite places I’ve stayed at! It’s close to downtown but still feels remote. Loved the indoor + outdoor fire options, it really cozied up the space. The pond was beautiful as well! I cannot recommend enough. Hunter was very accommodating & quick to respond. Also the bed is. so. comfortable. I can’t wait to come back!
