Take a well-deserved break from your busy lifestyle at this beautiful cottage tucked away in the southern Appalachian Mountains. While this home may feel remote, you'll be just three miles north of downtown Highlands for convenient shopping and dining.

Inside this bright and open vacation rental, you'll find a well-equipped, full kitchen for preparing everyone's favorite recipes, a dining area with a table and chairs for mealtimes or rainy day board games, and a living area with a vaulted ceiling, plush matching sofas, a warming gas fireplace, and a smart TV ready for movie nights. When it's time for a little friendly competition, head into the garage and challenge one another to games of foosball or bumper pool.

Step outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine from your furnished front porch, screened patio, or grassy yard where you'll also find a fire bowl and plenty of seating for roasting s'mores and stargazing.

Additional amenities and features found at this home include central air-conditioning, a gas grill for summertime cookouts, and a private washer/dryer.

Sanctuary

Quiet, comfortable and well equipped sanctuary nestled in a treed lot with a lovely great room and both front and back porches to enjoy. A great place to come back to after a day hiking. Very close to all that Highlands has to offer.

Spacious & quiet

Our family enjoyed spending time together at this clean, roomy, & quiet getaway! The kitchen had all we needed to make many good meals. We especially enjoyed coffee and juices on the front deck & back screened-in porch in the AM and the fully fenced backyard was perfect for our pooches! Thank you!!

Nice place

Pretty place, quiet and relaxing. Two negative comments: I am very sensitive to odors so had to wash the sheets and towels with a fragrance-free detergent that I had to purchase. The only detergent in the laundry area was Gain, which I am highly allergic to! That was a problem for me. Also, if you are going to leave a couple rolls of toilet paper and some paper towels please have some better quality. I have had better paper products in rural China! Very nice home, and we enjoyed it. Nicely decorated.
