Autumn Ridge, 3/2, peaceful/ secluded...1.5 mi from Highlands and fast internet!

Looking for some peace and quiet and to get back to nature? Autumn Ridge sits on a secluded hill with nothing but trees in sight. Your trip starts with a quiet drive through a tunnel of trees to the top of the hill with no neighbors in sight. Plan your own vacation with shopping, antiquing, ziplining, hiking, canoeing on mirror lake, fishing, or even just enjoying the fresh mountain air. You can explore the shopping and restaurants of downtown Highlands which is only 1.5 miles away. Once you come back home you can listen to the leaves rustle overhead while sitting on the deck with a hot coffee or hot chocolate surrounded by the soft movement of the forest. Road to house meanders up the and then down the hill creating a mile long walk or run. Take the dogs off the leash and let them run but don't be surprised to see deer jumping through the brush. Peaceful, beautiful, super comfortable beds, and the whole house was just renovated with guests in mind. House has great internet which sometimes is a rarity in this area! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Overall, the house was great. Very comfortable living and sleeping spaces. The house was nice and clean when we arrived, and it is close to downtown as advertised. Would definitely recommend to others. We did wish the kitchen had a few more utensils for cooking and baking. There was only one sharp knife we found and very few measuring cups/spoons. Overall a great stay. Thanks!

Great spot very close to Highlands

We stayed there with my 3 little kids. The house was perfect for our needs. It is under 3 miles to downtown Highlands which came in clutch when vacationing with 3 kids who needed to head home at parts of the day for nap times. Host did a great job of communicating all necessary information.

A wonderful quiet retreat location surrounded by nature and a good place to unwind/relax. While tucked in the woods, property is still in close proximity to town, farmers market, grocery store, Nature Center, waterfalls and trails.

This home was cozy and comfortable for our family of 4. We had a wonderful time listening to the rain and watching movies. The beds are very comfortable, the home is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need plus some which made our stay very enjoyable and easy. Also, thanks for the assortment of coffee.

We had a fantastic visit at this great mountain cottage. After picking up our sons from camp, we traveled here to reconnect with the boys and enjoy a weekend in Highlands. The home was very well equipped with everything we could ever need and more. We felt right at home! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded. The home is on a beautiful mountain road that was great for walking the dog and enjoying the mountain air. Very close to town but a beat away so that you enjoy ample space and privacy. Highly recommend!

Autumn Ridge Mountain House in Highlands, NC

What a wonderful, scenic, mountain atmosphere at Autumn Ridge. We were so pleased with everything. From the quiet and secluded area, the excellent decor, and the fact that it was well-equipped and had easy access to the town of Highlands made our stay an excellent one I want to re-iterate what another guest said, "Once you turn onto Ridgewood Rd, please pay attention to the One Way Drive sign. Our GPS took us the wrong way. " Maybe add this message to your email to guests. Jeff and Kathleen are wonderful hosts.

Seeking Quiet Getaway

Our weekend stay at Autumn Ridge was just what we needed. Quiet, serene and seemingly uninhabited. Although Highlands is conveniently located only 2 miles away, we did not see or hear one moving vehicle on the driveway the entire duration of our stay. Once you turn onto Ridgewood Rd, please pay attention to the One Way Drive sign. Our GPS took us the wrong way. Jeff and Kathleen are wonderful hosts and will respond immediately to any questions you might have. Stress free! Richard and guests Nashville, TN
