Satulah Mountain Retreat-5 min to Main Street! 4 BR/3 baths
Welcome to a piece of history on Satulah Mountain! Built in 1942, this gem exudes the timeless charm of Old Highlands and an unhurried ambiance of a bygone era.
Please read to the end for important information about this rental.
With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the historic house boasts knotty pine walls, an enchanting stone fireplace, a spacious covered porch, and cozy bedrooms. Whether you’re indulging in a good book, crafting a mountain-inspired meal, engaging in family games, or simply unwinding by the fireplace, this home invites you to savor every moment.
Nestled on more than four acres and surrounded by old-growth rhododendrons and century-old hardwoods, the property offers privacy and abundant greenspace for the kids to play. Picture yourself singing campfire songs and eating s’mores by the wood-burning stone firepit or engaging in friendly competition on your very own shuffleboard court.
Just 1.7 miles from Main Street, the location offers easy access to world-class shopping, and gourmet restaurants in Highlands, NC. Explore nearby attractions like trout fishing, jeep tours, waterfalls, hiking, swimming, golfing, antiquing, live music and more. Consider taking in a show at the state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center or immersing yourself in Appalachian art at The Bascom.
“Take a step back in time in this well-appointed home!”
The main level boasts a welcoming living area, a fully-equipped kitchen, a pass-through dining area, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Additionally, there are two guest bedrooms that share a full bath. Ascend the stairs to discover a snug bedroom and bathroom, complemented by a generously sized, carpeted area- an ideal retreat for the little ones on a rainy day. The inviting living area on the main floor features a cathedral ceiling, a stately, stone fireplace with gas logs, and a Smart TV with a Bluetooth soundbar for your entertainment needs. The well-equipped kitchen is complete with new appliances, plentiful kitchen tools, pots, pans and convenient bar seating for three. Gather around the dining table that accommodates eight guests, making it an ideal spot for meals or engaging in your favorite lively games. The Primary bedroom offers a California King bed, and its ensuite bathroom includes a step-in tub/shower combination with a safety grab bar positioned beside both the toilet and shower. The two additional downstairs bedrooms share a newly renovated bathroom with a step-in tub/shower combination. The first guest room is furnished with a comfy queen-sized bed and a Smart TV, while the second guest bedroom features two twin vintage spool beds. Upstairs, a charming third guest bedroom awaits with two antique cannonball twin beds. The accompanying bathroom includes a toilet, vanity and tub (no shower.)
Outside, unwind on the spacious covered porch. This outdoor living space features comfortable seating and a gas fire pit bowl, making it ideal for relaxation anytime. However, it is extra nice when the gas grill is being used so the grillmaster won't be left out of the conversations.
A washer and dryer are located in the nearby detached carriage house. (The carriage house sleeps 2 and can be rented for an additional nightly charge.)
Please note that this home does not have A/C, but is equipped with fans and thermostat-controlled gas and electric heaters.

Quintessential Old Highland Chic
The Santulah Mountain Retreat is quintessential old Highlands chic. Everything was thought out and put together with care and love. The instructions were thorough and very helpful. We were all very comfortable and right at home. The proximity to town was great - we enjoyed cooking in and nights out on the town. This place has the feeling of a home, not as a rental - everything feels nice and cared for. We enjoyed it so very much.
