We had a great stay at Broadleaf Cottage! It truly is a wonderful mountain home. It has a spacious kitchen with lots of windows and everything you need for cooking. The entire house was light and bright. It was very convenient to Main Street, but is private and quiet. I especially enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. There is a screened porch and deck for enjoying outdoors.

Perfect cottage in Highlands, NC

The cottage was absolutely beautiful- inside and out. The room decor and accompaniments were exactly what you’d expect in a well anointed home. For cooks - everything you’d need. For group gatherings the setting was also well done. Beds were comfortable and we will definitely be back with the rest of our family. The surrounding area is great for hiking and walking to downtown.

Great trip

The house was exactly as advertised. Location is excellent and Lindsay responds immediately to any questions. We had friends over for dinner and they plan to pursue renting for next year. Couldn’t have been better. We just arrived home after a 10 1/2 hour trip and still feel positive about the two weeks we spent there. Our dog loved playing in the leaves.

Absolutely tranquil

I needed a place that was quiet and comfortable, and this was marvelous. Lindsay is a terrific host, easy to communicate with. The property is fully equipped with everything you need - - good sharp knives, plenty of cooking utensils, beautiful glassware, spices for cooking, icemaker in the freezer. And SO many places to just sit and write, write or chill. The covered porch was my favorite spot. It won't matter what time of year you come, this house is perfect.

Hemlock Heaven

Our stay at Broadleaf Cottage was just perfect. An ancient hemlock tree stands watch just beyond the back deck. The cottage is perfectly situated between Mirror Lake & downtown Highlands. We ride bikes & walked every day. The sound of the creek across the side street provides the perfect white noise to help you settle in to a slower pace. The numerous seating areas inside & out provided us & our teenage daughter with the perfect places to have our own spaces when we needed them. Lindsay was fantastic to deal with. We’re already looking at when we can return to Broadleaf Cottage later this year & into next.
