SIMPLY THE BEST SPOT IN HIGHLANDS. 1 BLOCK TO MAIN STREET!

Mountains, Main Street, and Memories — Welcome to Your Highlands Happy Place!

You really can have it all! Just one block from Main Street and the Old Edwards Inn, this five-bedroom mountain getaway brings together modern style, cozy mountain charm, and plenty of room for everyone. Perfect for big family gatherings, multiple families, or a friends' weekend that deserves a little extra fabulous!

Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, while the covered back deck serves up gorgeous views of Harris Lake and Satulah Mountain. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, sunset chats… this is where you'll want to linger a little longer.

Room for everyone, and then some! The ground floor features two private suites, each with two bedrooms and a full bathroom, separated by a shared living room. Head upstairs to the spacious great room, where everyone can gather around the fireplace, share a meal at the dining table for ten, or whip up something delicious in the sleek, modern kitchen.

The upstairs master suite is your own little sanctuary, complete with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate shower.

And because mountain getaways should be all about relaxing, we've taken care of the details: Wi-Fi, a 65-inch HD TV, and off-street parking for up to six cars.

With downtown Highlands just steps away and mountain magic right outside your windows, this one-of-a-kind retreat is ready for your next great getaway. Gather your favorite people, pack your bags, and let the Highlands fun begin!

If you have a larger family gathering, wedding guests or a big friends' weekend, this house is just two blocks away from our three other houses: VRBO.com/425273, VRBO.com/473976 and VRBO.com/1426174

Everything was perfection. Great space for my family of adult married couples and 2 children. House was well appointed and everything was very clean. The outdoor deck was great and the fireplace was a nice touch. 4 bedrooms downstairs are split 2 and 2 and have a door to each hallway which provides privacy. Very close walk to everything in town and to the nature center that was a great walk. I will absolutely stay at this house again.
