Charming 2BR Highlands Cottage with Cozy Fireplace, 3 Min to Main St & Dry Falls

Escape to this inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath Highlands cottage, just minutes from Main Street, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, across from the highly-rated On the Verandah restaurant on Lake Sequoyah, and less than 1,000 yards from a public canoe launch, this mountain retreat is perfect for families, friends, or couples seeking a scenic getaway.
Thoughtfully designed with unique wall art and paintings
Cozy living area with a fireplace, perfect for chilly mountain evenings, a warm, inviting atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploring.

The cottage features two charming bedrooms and two bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom offers a King bed, smart TV, and a detached full bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious suite includes a King bed, two Twin beds, a smart TV, and an en suite full bathroom. This layout is perfect for small groups, two couples, or families seeking comfort and privacy.

Amenities: Our cozy cottage is designed for you to rest, relax, and recharge. Enjoy all the comforts of home, including 3 Smart TVs, Nest thermostats, a gas stove, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and fully stocked kitchen tools. Stay cozy with a one-button gas fireplace and take advantage of the full-size washer and dryer. Outside, unwind at the patio table with a 3-burner gas grill, perfect for outdoor dining.

Location: We’re just 1.5 miles from town, meaning you can reach Main Street in under 5 minutes. Explore dozens of high-quality shops and restaurants, and enjoy seasonal festivals and concerts, all just moments from your doorstep!

Safety: We have a circle driveway—please pull forward onto the street rather than backing out, as Highlands’ curved roads can create blind spots. To keep wildlife away, do not leave trash or food outside overnight. We’ve provided two bear-proof trash cans for your convenience.

Pets: we welcome dogs, so your furry companion can enjoy the mountain getaway too! Please add them to the reservation.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had the loveliest stay at this beautiful and thoughtfully appointed cottage! The location couldn’t be more convenient. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable, the living space cozy, the kitchen well stocked— we cooked several meals and every instrument we needed was there. The communication before and during our stay was excellent, and we particularly appreciated the easy checkout process that made our exit much easier with two kids under 5 years old. We cannot wait to return!

Charming cabin with a cozy atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace, which we used each morning and evening. Our friends stayed in the downstairs bedroom while we had the spacious upstairs room; both were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but very well equipped, with a wide variety of coffee-making options. Conveniently located near shops and great restaurants, making it an excellent place to stay.
