Highlands, NC - Cozy fireplace 3 min to posh Main Street, or majestic Dry Falls!

Escape to this charming cabin, where art and comfort come together in a warm, inviting space. Nestled just 3 minutes from Main Street, you'll have easy access to Highlands’ best shops and restaurants—yet you're also just 3 minutes from Dry Falls, one of North Carolina’s most breathtaking waterfalls.

This two-bedroom retreat accommodates 4 to 6 guests, making it perfect for families or groups of friends. Plus, we welcome dogs, so your furry companion can enjoy the mountain getaway too! Why You’ll Love It:

Thoughtfully designed with unique wall art and paintings
Cozy living area with a fireplace, perfect for chilly mountain evenings
Located across the street from "On the Verandah", one of Highlands’ top restaurants, perfect for scenic dining on Lake Sequoia
A warm, inviting atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploring

Space: The cottage features two charming bedrooms and two bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom offers a King bed, smart TV, and a detached full bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious suite includes a King bed, two Twin beds, a smart TV, and an en suite full bathroom. This layout is perfect for small groups, two couples, or families seeking comfort and privacy.

Amenities: Our cozy cottage is designed for you to rest, relax, and recharge. Enjoy all the comforts of home, including 3 Smart TVs, Nest thermostats, a gas stove, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and fully stocked kitchen tools. Stay cozy with a one-button gas fireplace and take advantage of the full-size washer and dryer. Outside, unwind at the patio table with a 3-burner gas grill, perfect for outdoor dining.

Location: We’re just 1.5 miles from town, meaning you can reach Main Street in under 5 minutes. Explore dozens of high-quality shops and restaurants, and enjoy seasonal festivals and concerts, all just moments from your doorstep!

Safety: We have a circle driveway—please pull forward onto the street rather than backing out, as Highlands’ curved roads can create blind spots. To keep wildlife away, do not leave trash or food outside overnight. We’ve provided two bear-proof trash cans for your convenience.

Pets: we welcome dogs, so your furry companion can enjoy the mountain getaway too!
