Autumn Ridge, 3/2, peaceful/ secluded...1.5 mi from Highlands and fast internet!

Looking for some peace and quiet and to get back to nature? Autumn Ridge sits on a secluded hill with nothing but trees in sight. Your trip starts with a quiet drive through a tunnel of trees to the top of the hill with no neighbors in sight. Plan your own vacation with shopping, antiquing, ziplining, hiking, canoeing on mirror lake, fishing, or even just enjoying the fresh mountain air. You can explore the shopping and restaurants of downtown Highlands which is only 1.5 miles away. Once you come back home you can listen to the leaves rustle overhead while sitting on the deck with a hot coffee or hot chocolate surrounded by the soft movement of the forest. Road to house meanders up the and then down the hill creating a mile long walk or run. Take the dogs off the leash and let them run but don't be surprised to see deer jumping through the brush. Peaceful, beautiful, super comfortable beds, and the whole house was just renovated with guests in mind. House has great internet which sometimes is a rarity in this area! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Great spot very close to Highlands

We stayed there with my 3 little kids. The house was perfect for our needs. It is under 3 miles to downtown Highlands which came in clutch when vacationing with 3 kids who needed to head home at parts of the day for nap times. Host did a great job of communicating all necessary information.

Cute home close to highlands

Cute home, big porch, easy drive to DT highlands. Countertops were dirty when we arrived and there were no paper towels to clean them. Smelled a little like dog but that faded with a little Fabreeze. Can’t beat the location. Super comfortable sleep number beds in each room

Checked all the boxes and more!

We had a fantastic visit at this great mountain cottage. After picking up our sons from camp, we traveled here to reconnect with the boys and enjoy a weekend in Highlands. The home was very well equipped with everything we could ever need and more. We felt right at home! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded. The home is on a beautiful mountain road that was great for walking the dog and enjoying the mountain air. Very close to town but a beat away so that you enjoy ample space and privacy. Highly recommend!

Autumn Ridge - Highlands NC

A wonderful quiet retreat location surrounded by nature and a good place to unwind/relax. While tucked in the woods, property is still in close proximity to town, farmers market, grocery store, Nature Center, waterfalls and trails. Home was comfortable, kitchen well equipped with all the essentials.

Wonderful Summer Stay

This home was cozy and comfortable for our family of 4. We had a wonderful time listening to the rain and watching movies. The beds are very comfortable, the home is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need plus some which made our stay very enjoyable and easy. Also, thanks for the assortment of coffee. We would definitely book here again, hopefully for longer next time. Thank you!

Autumn Ridge Mountain House in Highlands, NC

What a wonderful, scenic, mountain atmosphere at Autumn Ridge. We were so pleased with everything. From the quiet and secluded area, the excellent decor, and the fact that it was well-equipped and had easy access to the town of Highlands made our stay an excellent one I want to re-iterate what another guest said, "Once you turn onto Ridgewood Rd, please pay attention to the One Way Drive sign. Our GPS took us the wrong way. " Maybe add this message to your email to guests. Jeff and Kathleen are wonderful hosts.

Seeking Quiet Getaway

Our weekend stay at Autumn Ridge was just what we needed. Quiet, serene and seemingly uninhabited. Although Highlands is conveniently located only 2 miles away, we did not see or hear one moving vehicle on the driveway the entire duration of our stay. Once you turn onto Ridgewood Rd, please pay attention to the One Way Drive sign. Our GPS took us the wrong way. Jeff and Kathleen are wonderful hosts and will respond immediately to any questions you might have. Stress free! Richard and guests Nashville, TN

Fall Break in The Highlands

My family had an exceptional stay at Autumn Ridge for our first trip to the Highlands! The house is tucked away in a peaceful wooded area, which made morning coffee on the deck very enjoyable. The house was clean and decorated beautifully. The beds were very comfortable for sleeping after our days hiking the many beautiful waterfall and mountain trails nearby. The owners were very nice and responsive. The town of Highlands, NC reminds me of a Town from a Hallmark movie. It is so quaint and I love how dog friendly it is since our Goldendoodle tagged along. The food scene was great too! I highly recommend staying at Autumn Ridge if you’re lucky enough to vacation in the Highlands. I hope we get to go back. The Ethridge Family
