About this property

The Zen Den Guest Suite on Loma Linda Farm Location and Comfort, Highlands, NC

We think you'll just love our oh-so comfortable and inviting guest suite. Tucked away beyond the back yard of the main house, The Zen Den is peaceful and quiet yet, just a few minutes drive to Main Street. Breathe in the cool mountain air and take time for yourself up in the meditation loft that looks out to serene pastoral and wilderness views. Plan an easy hike right from the cabin to 2 national forest trail heads or simply relax on your deck.

*** Pet friendly with prior approval.

Loma Linda Farm is up on a beautiful south facing hill at Highlands' cool elevation of 4118'.
Our animals are kept in designated areas and do not have access to The Zen Den cabin, yard or driveway. We ask that you please keep your dogs on a leash while outdoors on the farm and not interact with our animals directly unless escorted by the host.

WINTERTIME NOTE:
Please know that during the winter months, the mountain weather can get tricky with extreme cold, ice and snow storms. The power could go out and so could the internet.
And, if the driveway ices over, you may need to walk up the hill from the road to the cabin. The likelihood of any of this happening is pretty low but I don't want you to have any adverse surprises during your trip.
Thank you for your consideration to this and I do hope you decide to come on up and enjoy your time here in Highlands during our beautiful winter months!

Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchenette, a fireplace, and a patio.

Cabin on the Hill

A small but well equipped cabin at the end of a private road. A deck with table and chairs expands the living space. Very quiet location behind the owners house. There is a fenced in yard at this cabin perfect for a dog to explore. There is a barn and fenced area for the two horses. A large section of the pasture has reverted to natural plantings which attract a variety of birds. The road to the cabin runs along the pasture providing viewing and photographing opportunities. The host lives on the property and was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We would stay at this location again.

Great place to stay for a quick trip to the mountains.

We had a small window of opportunity for a trip to Highlands, NC. I found The Zen Den on VRBO and the description met what we needed. The owner gave perfect directions on how to get to our location (the gps would have never got us there) and had turned the heat on before our arrival. The place was very clean and comfortable. The cooking situation was very limited but for our short stay it was fine. For two people and a short stay the Zen Den was perfect!

Cute cottage in lovely setting but a few problems. Cabin was musty and had spider webs, Main house had dogs that were confined to porch but barked incessantly when outside. Needs to have flood lighting for walking back to cottage at night

Tranquil Retreat

We had a wonderful time staying at the Zen Den with our pups. It was so peaceful & has a nice long quiet road to walk the dog. The cabin has everything you need right in reach & a very comfortable bed. Linda is nearby & answers all your questions- a great host! Zen Den is a gem - close to hiking & town.

Peaceful getaway

We had a lovely few days, winding down. The tiny but very cute cabin was perfect; rustic but warm and cozy. It was quiet and peaceful with plenty of walks in close proximity. The host was perfect and, though living very close by, was not at all intrusive. We would definitely return.

Fall Week end at the Zen Den

Our little week end stay in the zen den was lovely! It’s in a perfect location all snuggled up in the woods but yet close to town and restaurants etc It is very small but very cozy ❤️ Linda is a wonderful host and had everything we could have needed available to us. During our stay we had a key mishap and hated to bother Linda but she was most helpful and kind helping us out with that.

My husband & I have stayed at many places in Highlands. From cabins to hotels/Inns. The Zen Den was peaceful & cozy! We loved the location was close to town but the best thing was we could actually walk to Glen Falls which is one of our favorite hikes. We’ll be back!

Peaceful nature vibes

I stayed here for two nights and could not have been more satisfied. The location is amazing — right near a hiking trail to waterfalls — and the views on the property are incredible. It's also within a 5 minute drive to downtown highlands. The cabin had a quaint and cozy vibe and a cute little loft where I did some meditating. I highly recommend for anyone needing space to decompress, reflect, and be creative :)

Quiet, clean, and comfy

The Zen Den is a lovely cabin, simple but with all the comforts of home. Close to Highlands center and to the beautiful scenery around the area, the cabin is compact and manageable for a getaway. It would even be perfect for one person who wants seclusion. If you have a dog, be sure to have a leash if s/he doesn’t listen well - ours doesn’t - as there are places to wander off to. Linda was also very gracious during a family episode, for which I was very thankful.

Awesome little cabin

The host, Linda, was very nice and provided for all our needs. She had snacks and good coffee and creamer in the cabin. The cabin was well furnished, clean and everything worked well. The bed was comfortable. The cute little cabin is small, but well laid out and plenty big for a couple. Only a few miles to Highlands and very near a waterfall. Would definitely stay here again!!
