It doesn't get more charming than Hickory Hill, an authentic wooden cabin that's been updated true to its 1940's roots. With a view of Mirror Lake and all the quirk and charm from the era, this home boasts original wood paneled walls, shiplap, vaulted wooden ceilings, and a stone hearth fireplace. Enjoy relaxing on the screened porch or open air deck overlooking Mirror Lake. Oozing rustic charm, Hickory Hill has 2 King suites, one with a large sleeping loft and separate TV den perfect for kids or teens.

The Location: Hickory Hill is located In-town Highlands, NC. With a 1minute walk to Mirror Lake, it's just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy but close enough that dinner/shopping on Main Street is less than a mile's drive away.

The Property: Hickory Hill is nestled with a grove of other quaint and tiny cabins in an easily accessible part of Highlands. We have a small, lushly landscaped yard. There are 4 rocking chairs on the back deck overlooking Mirror Lake perfect for bird watching or soaking in some peace and quiet.

The Layout: From the private side courtyard, guests walk up 5 stairs to the side door, which enters into the foyer/dining area with expandable table for 4-6. The open floor plan flows into the living area with stone hearth fireplace and 75" TV. The cozy kitchen and both King Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are off to the right. One of the King suites has a set of stairs leading to a sizable sleeping loft with two twin beds and a separate TV den. The screened porch accessible from the dining area that flows onto the open air deck.

The Area: Highlands, NC is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it's quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it's one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world.

Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

The Details: Flat Parking for 2 cars is directly in front of the house and easily accessible. The living room, both bedrooms, and the upstairs have large flat screen smart TV's and fiber optic cable. We also have wifi. The kitchen is well stocked from the Bosch appliances to the Le Creuset and All Clad cookware. All of our cabins are pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee.
