Views! Views! Views! at Bella Vista
--NEW Summer room and upgrades to the back deck & bathrooms were completed in 2023!!--
Just outside of the town of Highlands but only a 10 minute drive to downtown, with views all the way to Tennessee. At almost 4,200 ft, summer temperatures are as much as 20 degrees cooler than lower elevations. All roads are paved and there are no steep inclines. Your backyard is the Nantahala National Forest. The beautiful valley that stretches between this home and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee funnels breezes and birdsongs right up to the house. Lots of outdoor lounging and dining on your spacious deck that blends into the natural surroundings. With soaring 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the views from inside are just as spectacular. Open the windows (or use central heat or air), light a fire and relax. This home has a large indoor wood burning fireplace. This super quiet home is the last house at the end of the street atop Flat Mountain. Disconnect from the world when you want to in this peaceful haven and when you need to connect, do so via high speed fiberoptic internet, digital cable TV, Direct TV (wired and ready for your box from home) and a strong cellular signal thanks to a commercial grade cell signal booster. Living room has a 65 inch smart tv and blue ray player. All bedrooms have 40 inch smart TVs. All are connected to internet and have free access to Netflix included, digital cable and Direct TV Satellite dish (bring your DTV boxes).
Master bedroom has sliders to mountain view and deck with blackout drapes, King size sleigh bed, his and hers closets and ensuite bathroom with shower. 2nd bedroom has sliders to mountain view and deck with blackout drapes, King size platform bed, his and hers closets and easy access to bathroom with tub/shower which is shared with 3rd bedroom. 3rd bedroom has Queen platform bed, spacious closet and lots of windows with blinds. The house is open concept, only divided by the huge stone fireplace between the kitchen and living room. The kitchen has nearly 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. It also has high top table for 4 and 3 barstools at the island. Plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen and the huge pantry just behind the kitchen. The dining room which is open to the living room and the big view out back seats 8. Games, playing cards and puzzles abound ready to create cherished memories with family and friends. Outside amenities include a large circular drive with covered parking for two large vehicles. The back yard is reasonably flat before eventually dropping off. Trees close to the house are expertly trimmed to provide a canopy that keeps you cool and part of the forest with lower limbs removed to provide the amazing views. A new whole house generator was added in 2021. There is a 30 amp RV plug in the car port with an available electric vehicle 50 amp adapter. Bring your 50 amp car adapter to charge your electric vehicle.

Beautiful location
We loved this property and location. The home is nicely laid out with a master on one side and two other bedrooms on the opposite side. The views are spectacular. The kitchen is very well appointed, and we cooked almost every meal at the house. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable. Highlands is only a short drive, as are countless hiking options. Would rent this property again.

Believe the views!
Arrived at property to find owner of rental company blowing off the deck area. Nice last minute touch. Great communication throughout the reservation process. Home has AMAZING views. 10 minutes to town in a lovely neighborhood. Very cozy furnishings and comfy beds with extra blankets and throws provided. Bags of dog toys were left also which my pups really enjoyed. Well stocked kitchen. Would absolutely return!

The Perfect Highlands Home
This home is my first choice when visiting Highlands. From the breathtaking views to open family room and space for guests to have their own rooms. Also just a quick drive to town and great hiking so close! The fireplace was perfect for cold evenings. You won’t want to leave!

A little slice of heaven.
This home was everything we wanted. From the 20 ft fireplace to the breath taking view, we enjoyed every single moment. We made friends with the gang from The Blue Bike resturant and really enjoyed shopping in Highlands. It was a vacation of a lifetime. Definitely going to go back.

Wonderful house & views!
We loved the house! Great location between Highlands & Cashiers. And the view from the deck was wonderful! Would definitely stay there again. And we were able to take our dog!
Saw two bears while driving to the house! Thank you for letting us stay there.

Cool and Quiet
It's hard to believe we went an entire week without turning on the TV (though Bella has excellent service). We walked and enjoyed the porch; early AM, late evening and mid day. The kitchen area is small but worked perfectly for our small group. It's very well equipped. The gas grill on the deck works well. Bathrooms are basic but the linen is good and there was plenty of hot water. Only caution: If you're over 6'2'' you may bump your head on the edge of the awesome mantel. Flat Mt Estates Rd is a small challenge to us Floridians but we went slow and it's recently paved. Definitely would return.

Great home in a great location
Outstanding stay at Bella Vista! Staff was very friendly and helpful. View was excellent and house had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Being at the end of the road made us feel secluded even though there are a couple of houses close by. Perfect place to come home to after a day on the trails. Location is very convenient to everything in town. I highly recommend Bella Vista and can't wait for another visit.

Amazing view and beautiful accommodations.
What an amazing place. The house is beautiful. The view from the deck is breathtaking. There was six of us and it was a perfect fit. The house has everything you need for a comfortable vacation. It’s only 5 miles from town. You can explore the shops in town, take in the waterfalls, hike or just hang out and relax. We went white water rafting for my sons 25th Birthday while we were there. Had a blast. In the evenings we built fires in the fire pit on the deck and reconnected as a family. We even played a few rounds of Yahtzee. I highly recommend the Bella Vista. I would love to go back for fall colors.
