Come and experience a little bit of heaven at our home in the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina. We are located in the small community of Sky Water, conveniently located between Highlands & Franklin and surrounded by the beautiful Nantahala Forest. Enjoy the sounds of nature, take a swim in the large pond, cast your fishing rod in the creek, enjoy the cool water and sound of Brush creek or take a hike in the surrounding Nantahala forest. Our property has everything for the perfect mountain vacation. It is a short drive away from the Cullasaja waterfalls, the wonderful restaurants & shopping in Highlands, and the fun breweries of Franklin.

There are a total of three bedrooms. Two bedrooms & a full bath are on the main floor. Windows surround the entire living area which opens up to the wrap around porch. The spiral staircase goes down to the lower level where there is a queen sized bed and a full bathroom with a wash machine and dryer. The living room leads to a spacious covered upper level porch where you can enjoy the view and sounds of Brush Creek below, grill, or wind down with a glass of wine. Enjoy down time with family & friends at the firepit out back and lounge with your cup of coffee on the second deck down below.

We are happy to provide a jogging stroller and pack n play upon request.

We went looking for a place to relax and enjoy being outside. This place was amazing. It was quiet. The porch was the highlight of the trip. It was big and spacious. I highly recommend.

AMAZING!!!

We absolutely loved this mountian house!!! It’s tucked an away in a very cute neighborhood that has a stream running through it and a pond that the kids can fish or swim in. Just walking around the neighborhood is a kids paradise! The house itself is wonderful. It is very comfortable and accommodating!! We loved the outdoor porch- it has a huge dining room table out there so it’s great to have a nice meal or sit outside and play games. The rocking chairs are also a great touch so you can just rock and enjoy the mountain air. The house has a fully equipped kitchen so if you want to make all of your meals at the house it’s definitely do able. The sleeping arrangements are also very comfortable. We came here with our two kids and they loved the bunk bed room!! This house is definitely do able for multiple couples too since there is a whole downtowns bedroom and separate bathroom that we didn’t even use. Having the wash machine was very nice since my kids clothes were a little messy from all of the hiking and outdoor activities that we did while we were there. Megan is a great host and got back to me asap when I had a question about check-in. She is also very knowledgeable about the area and had some kid friendly activity suggestions which I greatly appreciated. I’m definitely going to book this house again in the summer and then hopefully again in the fall to see the leaves change! It’s a great house for all year around. We loved it so much and can’t wait to come back.

excellent place

Place is very clean, and in a great location. For sure would stay there again. Host was always communicating and letting us know of any issues up front. Told us about broken grill before we booked to ensure we would still want the place, and it was fixed the first day of our stay as well which wasn't even promised. Shows they truly care about the guest!
