Nestledown - Peaceful Mountain Retreat!

Welcome to Nestledown –a peaceful retreat surrounded by native rhododendron nestled amongst the mountains of Highlands, NC. From the moment you enter the driveway you will be drawn to the quaint two bedroom, two bath cottage with a welcoming front porch.

The open floor plan to the great room encourages memorable times with family, friends or that special someone. Skylights allow the natural warmth of the North Carolina sunlight to fill the room. Comfortable furniture and a spacious eating area gives guests a home-away-from-home feeling. Timber accents add rustic charm to this mountain home. A stone fireplace provides additional warmth for those chilly evenings. Each bedroom features Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms and is accompanied by a flat screen TV and cable connections providing local, sports, music and movie channels.

The crisp clean mountain air can be enjoyed from the cozy front porch or stretch out on the expansive two-level deck overlooking the private wooded backyard. If you like a little background music to your natural setting, you can enjoy your CDs piped through a pair of outdoor speakers. An open front and side lawn are perfect for outdoor activities.

If you wish to pull yourself away from the tranquility of the cottage, you only have a few minutes drive to downtown Highlands to enjoy world-class dining and shopping. Alternatively, Cashiers affords similar high level entertainment and is nearly as close.

PERFECT for small families!
Clean, organized, great location. Easy driveway, nice walk to a really cool store. This is our third or fourth time renting this property and we love it. It’s the perfect size for families. We have three kids - 1, 3, and 5. They shared the second bedroom and bath and it was a great size. It’s one story so there are no fancy (scary) stairs for little kids. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals and the fireplace is a fun bonus for us Floridians. Our favorite house to rent in North Carolina!

Great Time!
We had a great time! The property was as advertised. It is about 5 minutes from downtown Highlands and 15 minutes from "central" Cashiers. It was very convenient to the various hiking trails in the area. The Owner/Property Manager sent detailed directions a few days before we arrived (also called me) which were very helpful. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses, etc and the wifi reception was excellent. We do recommend this property and would stay there again.

Comfortable, clean mountain cottage
We enjoyed our stay at Nestledown. Brian provided all the information we needed and texted to be sure we had everything we needed upon arrival. Parking in the driveway is easy and the neighborhood is lovely and safe. The location between Highlands and Cashiers was perfect, but we did spend more time in Highlands which was a very easy drive. The house is clean, nice kitchen that we cooked several meals in and had everything we needed. Morning coffee and evening dinners on the back deck are nice. The trees offer 100% privacy from neighbors. Very quiet. Perfect for a family of four or two couples.

Nature Explorations in Highlands. NC Area
We had a delightful four night stay which met and exceeded our expectations. Brian was a wonderful host. The check-in process was seamless; instructions prior to arrival were thorough and helpful. He ensured all our needs were met, checked in and followed up throughout. The house was clean and comfortable, well-equipped and had everything we needed. Lovely location in a natural setting. We enjoyed meeting some friendly neighbors who showed us where to look for blue fireflies.
