This cottage was charming and cozy for our midwinter stay. Just minutes to Highlands but quiet and secluded. This is a well maintained historical home in excellent, clean condition. Cozy furniture, wonderful gas fireplace, beautiful views out the windows, antiques everywhere, plenty of space to spread out. Comfortable Beds and three full bathrooms! Host was attentive when needed and very helpful. We plan to return again next year!

Flat Mountain visit

Wonderful. Wish we could have enjoyed the firepit and grill areas. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early. No wonder the Wright Cottage is so special to your family. I can imagine the wonderful times you all must have had there. I'm afraid I left a plastic bag of dirty clothes. Sorry. I would definitely recommend to others.

Amazingly nice older house in a beautiful location. There was some trouble with the air conditioner but the host was extremely helpful in correcting the problem quickly.There is a beautiful meadow in front with mowed paths so that you can walk around to look at the wildflowers.

Highlights include a screened in porch that was perfect for reading. I had my new puppy with me, and the property had a beautiful meadow/ old apple orchard with a mowed track that was perfect for walking her.The meadow was full of wild flowers and wild ferns. At night the fire flies put on a show. We were close to town where we had great meals. (Don't miss the ice cream shop.) and also went twice to the performing arts center. Highlands is very dog friendly so our pup often went out to eat with us. Our Host was very responsive when I needed help. I think the photos fairly represented this charming cottage.

The Wright Cottage- A Warm Farmhouse Christmas

The is the second year my adult daughters and I have spent Christmas at the Wright Cottage. It is such a warm, sweet setting to spend time together as a family and share the holiday. The home is a traditional farm house with a big fire place. We appreciate all the Christmas decorations. It was so inviting. We read books, played a board game, went on hikes and then went into town. It was a lovely holiday.

Cozy Cottage in the NC Hills

This place was perfect for a nice weekend stay for a wedding. It is in close proximity to Highlands, NC and Flat Mountain Farm. The house was perfect for part of the wedding party, with four beds and three baths. It could sleep up to six people comfortably. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the living room was a comfortable place to hang out with the gas fire place. The host was very responsive, especially in the face of extenuating circumstances related to a severe weather event in the area. Our party would stay again!

Absolutely wonderful

We came to Highlands for my brothers wedding, which was only a 4 minute drive from this wonderful home. This home is also only an 8 minute drive from town which was very convenient for downtime. There is a Dollar General 5 minutes away for any of those last minute needs. The home was clean, well stocked and private. We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. It was so peaceful and convenient. I would highly recommend staying here for any getaway but especially if you have someone getting married at Flat Mountain Farms. We hope to be back! The host was so easy to work with and quick to respond!
