Description

Quaint Highlands Cottage

Discover your Height of Happiness in Highlands, North Carolina! This enchanting town rests at an elevation of 4,118 feet high atop the southwestern plateau of North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. As a gateway to the great outdoors, Highlands invites you to hike and explore scenic trails and cascading waterfalls in the Nantahala National Forest, relax and restore your senses at local spas, and indulge in some of the region's most delectable fare.

Situated in the heart of Highlands is a whimsical and sophisticated English cottage. This truly unique home spans over 1,300 square feet and features high ceilings, two fireplaces, two bedrooms and bathrooms, and a well-equipped chef's kitchen. The cottage is adorned with antiques, art, and designer touches throughout, as observed through its several cozy gathering areas. Make yourself at home in the large and bright living room and in the post and beam den featuring a gorgeous stone fireplace and windows that open to the stream just below. The home's two stunning bedrooms promise to provide the perfect slumber; one of which features a king bed and the other a queen. When nature beckons, step outside to a lovely outdoor terrace with a table for alfresco dining, a fire pit for smores and stargazing, and a garden space with a private sitting area next to the stream.

There's plenty of adventure waiting for you in and around Highlands. Meander through trails to unveil panoramic waterfalls, fly fish for a variety of trout, take a guided horse trail ride, and get your daily fix of adrenaline through a zipline tour. There's no end in sight of the fun waiting to be had!

Cutest mountain cottage ever!

As you can see from the pictures, this cottage is quite unique in appearance, and, after having spent a week there, we think it is totally fabulous in so many ways. Recently remodeled in some rooms, the house lives "large" for a small house; 2 king bedrooms, beautiful marble vanities in the bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with new countertops, two fireplaces and a fire pit, and three living areas within the house -- plenty of room to enjoy! The location is another huge bonus -- less than 5 minutes to Main Street in Highlands, so we could just go into town for a quick meal, walk, or shopping. We absolutely love this house and can't wait to escape to it again. ”

Perfect cottage in perfect location

This place is just what the doctor ordered for peace and relaxation…a quaint and beautiful home very close to downtown Highlands. It’s hidden away and very private yet the grounds are spectacular. Nooks and crannies everywhere to squirrel away. Two firepits outside with sitting areas around them and plenty of firewood to burn. There’s a babbling brook with table and chairs beside to enjoy reading and relaxing. We chased waterfalls every day and there are so many! Cullasaja Falls is not to be missed. Steep but very short hike down to it but it is amazing. Susan has done a terrific job with this cottage and I would highly recommend. We will be back. ”
