- Minimum stay:2-3 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
This charming cottage is situated in a serene setting overlooking Highland's Lake Sequoyah and the Blue Ridge mountains. The 38-foot deck is perfect for viewing gorgeous sunsets and starry nights, lounging on a sunny day, or just taking in the beauty of the lake, mountains, natural surroundings, and fresh North Carolina air.
The stone fireplace lends warmth to a cozy family room with a wood-beamed ceiling, skylight, hardwood floors, and a stunning view of the lake. Some of the amenities you will find include a 27-inch cable TV, VCR/DVD, CD player, WiFi, games, books, magazines, videos and free long distance service.
Bake some goodies in the country kitchen, which houses all the necessary appliances, supplies, and modern conveniences. Dine indoors looking out bay windows or grill outside and enjoy your meal on the deck with a spectacular view.
Plenty of sleeping quarters with three delightfully decorated bedrooms (king, queen, and two twins).
The king-size and queen-size bedrooms have lake views, cable TV, ceiling fans, comfortable mattresses, quaint antique furnishings and mountain decor. The twin-bedded room also includes cable TV and a ceiling fan. There are two full baths with showers and tubs, plenty of space for toiletries, a half bath off the queen-size bedroom, and a separate laundry room with washer and dryer.
Lakeview is only one-and-one-half miles from the center of Highlands, a great place to shop or dine in some of North Carolina's finest restaurants. Located just minutes from hiking trails, scenic waterfalls, and lake access for canoeing or kayaking. You can ride ATVs, go rappelling, llama trekking, horseback riding, or picnic at a public beach that is less than five minutes away. The winter months are the time for downhill skiing, snow boarding, and tubing, which are all within 15 minutes.
If you want a vacation where you can get away from the fast pace and stress of everyday life, spend some time in Highlands. For more information or to book a reservation, please call us toll free.

Lakeview Cottage offers a wonderful location, central to all the amenities of Highlands and a short drive from Cashiers and Franklin. We found this cozy, comfortable home to offer the perfect blend of a mountain location and near-to-town convenience! The lake view was stunning and we enjoyed plentiful birdwatching. The cottage has all the amenities one could ask for and is well stocked with towels, blankets, games, movies, and more. Our family of five was very comfortable. We ate dinner in each night were thrilled with all the utensils and pots and pans available for use. We lacked nothing! Mark was so hospitable, offering information requested and calling to check in and see how we were settled. Clearly this place is run by professionals! We love the Highlands area and we will be back to stay in this lovely home as soon as we can!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My friends and I came back in August this year after staying at the cottage in Sept. of last year (see "Druid" comment in the reviews). We had another wonderful visit. Such a comfortable, well-maintained cottage - always clean and welcoming. We spend a great time together - this is a wonderful place to renew acquaintances and spend time with loved ones. We are friends of more than 50 years' duration and this has become our "go to" place to spend relaxing moments together, and no better place than on the back deck overlooking Lake Sequoyah! A glass of wine, some snacks and great companionship - who could ask for anything more? Mark is, as always, great to work with and so accommodating. If you go, remember to bring bird seed - the feeder on the porch is a great place to watch them congregate!! God willing, we will be back again next year, and hopefully for a longer visit. We always leave wishing for more time at Lakeview!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+.

The brilliant leaves, the crisp air and the charm of Lakeview, all made for the perfect vacation. Sitting on the deck overlooking the lake was a slice of heaven. The stars were so bright and full that you felt as if you can reach out and touch them.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our second visit to Highlands was as awesome as our first. We’ve stayed at other places in Highlands but once we found Lakeview, we won’t go anywhere else. Your place is stocked with charming décor and in a great location. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
