About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Highlands Farmhouse:

This home was rebuilt new after Highlands, NC gave permission to tear down a 100 yr old home on the original homesite. Therefore, it is a few feet away from a beautiful mountain stream and the house was masterfully rebuilt to the period. There are few houses better located or that have a more comfortable flow for groups, yet still keep an intimate feel. The sun porch is a great place to read or play cards, the back deck is for grilling and swinging on the porch swing while you listen to the brook. The family room has the perfect big screen TV to watch while the fire roars, and the bedrooms are like comfortable caves. Wedding locations are within a few minutes walk, plus it's a mile into town.
Property features 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. On the main level is the Main Bedroom with King bed, an en suite bathroom with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a step in shower. Upstairs contains the other 3 bedrooms. The second main bedroom features a king bed, an en suite bathroom with double vanities, and a tub shower combination. Upstairs guest bedroom 1 has a King bed with en suite bath that features a tub/shower combination. Guest bedroom 2 has a queen bed and a separate room that has the twin bunk beds. This also has its own ensuite bathroom with tub/shower combination.

This is a special home recently rebuilt to the footprint of the original homestead 15 feet from a stream. Ideally located near the Farmhouse and perfectly suited to be a base for Old Edwards Inn wedding parties. It is just a stone's throw away from the Highlands Country Club. A tranquil setting, yet less than two minutes from shopping and restaurants.

*This is an animal friendly (DOGS ONLY) property. Pets must be approved and a pet fee is required.*

[All of the homes managed by Highlands Vacation Rentals have wifi internet access(speeds may vary based on different providers), basic kitchenware & dishes, linens provided, and a starter set of amenities including: 2 toilet paper rolls per bathroom + A set of personal shampoo, conditioner, hand & body soap (also per bathroom), 2 paper towel rolls, a few kitchen trash bags, a kitchen sponge, some dish soap and a couple of dishwasher and laundry detergent pods. ]

Very special property

We absolutely loved our NYE getaway to The Highlands and our stay at the “elegant farmhouse” was a big part of that. So cozy and well appointed. We felt right at home and had everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. Location was fantastic- 5 mins from town and the layout of the house was perfect for two families with the two primary en suite bedrooms and plenty of room for the kids and our dog. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Perfect Place in Highlands

Everything about the property was just perfect. Great location, great communication and responsiveness from the property owner, and the house is even more beautiful and comfortable than in the pictures. We were in town for a wedding and of all the houses friends and family stayed in, this was by far the best.

We loved this gorgeous property! Felt like we were living in a magnolia makeover with chip and Joanna Gaines. So much attention to detail. The creek was a real hit with grandchildren. We loved being close to town. The cute bunnies, deer and raccoon were a fun sight for us

Great trip! Our kids had the best time playing in the creek and running around outside.

Great, unique property. Our children loved playing outside in the creek. The farmhouse was adorable. We would suggest more drawers/storage in bedrooms. We are thinking about renting again in the future. Thanks!

A Truly Spacious and Elegant Farmhouse

We've just returned from our daughter's Highlands wedding and stayed in this lovely home. We absolutely loved everything about this beautiful farmhouse - location, furnishings, property, etc. The homeowners were extremely responsive and accommodating. The bedrooms all have their own large bathrooms. The kitchen was fully appointed. The large family room even had a table ready for game nights. It was truly a peaceful oasis for our family away from all of the wedding festivities. We look forward to staying here again!

Wonderful New Years Getaway

We have stayed in many locations throughout Highlands over the years, and this location was hard to beat. Super convenient for trips into town and nearby hikes. The layout of the farmhouse was perfect for our family, and the addition of the stream running through the property made for great entertainment for our kids. The kitchen was well-stocked and the comfortable beds and bedding made for a relaxing holiday stay. Thank you!

Perfect for families

We were grand parents traveling with adult married children and (3) grandsons (8/10/10) with two dogs. The house was perfect with our size family. The 4 bedrooms with en-suite baths served us well. The weather in October was cool so the fireplace was used every night. We were easy traveling distance to waterfalls, hikes, groceries and great dining in Highlands. As noted by others, we are very close to the main highway from Dillard into Highlands so there can be road noise on the screened in porch. Our grandsons and dogs spent a lot of time outside and in the creek. Perfect for them! The house is solidly built so there was not much noise transfer between rooms or between floors. We REALY appreciated this feature. We had a few service issues which I’m sure will be addressed by the owner. They did not affect our feelings of this property. Good for families, pets, and a perfect location.

Farmhouse by the brook

We had rented another house about 10 miles outside of Highlands. The second night we were there, the water stopped working! ( well problem) . We frantically searched for another place and lucky for us- this house had a last minute cancellation . They were so easy to deal with ! We moved in that afternoon. The house is a quaint farmhouse by a little brook. It is a beautiful setting! We enjoyed the outdoor porches. But it’s also close to the town center - which was so convenient! The bedrooms were roomy and neat . The linens were great. I would highly recommend this house!!
