Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay and had a relaxing time. We saw a bear at night which was really neat (we were on the porch and not in harms way). The heated floors in the bathroom were so nice. The property was super clean, tidy and cute. Would stay here again.

Resort-Style Cabin Near Town

What an incredible find! This cabin is so charming; both beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and the stacked drawer-style refrigerator freezer offers more storage room than you'd think! The bathroom and shower are large and luxurious and the bed is very comfortable. We loved sitting on the front porch, enjoying the cool breezes and the mountain air. We plan to rent again soon.

Cozy Honeymoon Hideaway

What a moody, rustic, chic mountain cabin! The decor was thoughtful, the furnishings cozy, and the location ideal. Fly Creek manages to feel both tucked away while being less than two minutes from town. You can't beat a restorative trip in Highlands with the quaint shops, elevated restaurant scene, and great hiking/waterfalls... and Fly Creek is the perfect spot from which to enjoy all that Highlands has to offer!

Exquisite property

My husband and I stayed at Fly Lake cottage while I participated in a three-day workshop at The Bascom. The cottage was clean, cozy, and beautifully appointed. I’d love to stay there again and heartily recommend it. There was a little garden where guests may cut flowers to bring inside. I left the gorgeous dahlia intact but was tempted. There also was a lovely fire pit outside. Check in and check out information was thorough and clear.

"Cute" Property in Great Location

This is a thoroughly enjoyable property in a convenient, near-town location. Kitchen and bath have been recently renovated, and although we didn't cook, appliances and cookware were high-end. Adirondack inspired decor was comfy and serviceable, and adequate for two persons. Improvements? Linens were a little "tired," and for some reason there was no liner or trash bags provided for the Simplehuman trash can, leaving us without a place to dispose trash. Also, the high tech washer/dryer required an app that my iphone wouldn't download. In sum, despite a few glitches, this is a terrific property for visitors seeking a budget friendly, convenient location with ready access to Highland's hiking trail network.

Good relax in the mountains

Nice little spot in the Highlands. Rental had everything we needed. Easy drive to town, we walked a few times. Great walking right near the rental. We saw many trails when we were on our walk but were a little nervous about bears so stayed on the back roads, very little traffic and pretty scenery. Enjoyed the tennis and pickleball at the park near town. Good restaurants and shopping all very close. We had a great time, thank you very much!

First rate property in a wonderful location.

We give this cottage all the stars. Incredibly well appointed and decorated with traditional Carolina and highland antiques. Better than having your own private luxury suite at a hotel. Fantastic walks can be had just outside the door and into town. Wonderful nature trail/Park area accessible and nicely hidden just down the street. Feels like you’re well outside of town, but in fact, you are just around the corner. We would happily stay again!
