Adventure Awaits at This Charming Farmhouse Retreat in Highlands, NC
Tucked between the mountain towns of Highlands and Cashiers, this beautifully crafted 2-bedroom, 2-bath modern farmhouse is your perfect basecamp for exploring the best of Western North Carolina's natural beauty. Located on scenic Horse Cove Road, you're just minutes from endless outdoor adventures — swim in nearby mountain-fed swimming holes, cast a line in cool trout streams, or hike straight into National Forest land to discover waterfalls, panoramic overlooks, and peaceful woodland trails.
Inside, you'll find all the comforts of home wrapped in rustic elegance. Tall ceilings with exposed trusses welcome you into a light-filled, open living space. The home is thoughtfully decorated with stylish, cozy touches throughout. The primary suite features a spa-worthy bath complete with an oversized shower and a luxurious soaking tub, perfectly positioned by a large window with serene views of the woods.
Step outside to relax on the rocking chair front porch or gather around the outdoor firepit under a starry sky. A second bedroom and a quiet office/den space give you plenty of room to unwind or catch up on a good book. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Highlands and 20 minutes from Cashiers, this is an unbeatable location for nature lovers who want adventure by day and fine dining, shopping, or live music by night.

We had a great long weekend stay at this property! The house is brand new, VERY clean, well appointed, comfortable and convenient. It’s an easy 10 minute drive into Highlands via Horse Cove Road. We would definitely stay here again. The host communicated all the necessary details and was responsive to any questions. The photos provide an accurate description of the property.
