About the host
Hosted by Neil and Cheryl Moulton
Hello! We bought this home from a friend who called and said, "You love our house so much, do you want to buy it?" We had visited Highlands for years and we did not even hesitate to say, "YES". We had stayed at almost all the hotels and bed and breakfasts and a couple rental homes and never really enjoyed any place as much as this home. And all of a sudden it could be ours!!! We renovated, added on, decorated and now it is 'home away from home'! Just 2 1/2 hours from Atlanta we go all the time, and it truly is our little piece of heaven!
Why they chose this property
We like the total privacy of the surrounding woods, the great Mountain view in the winter, the ONE LEVEL 'Ranch' style for our old knees and we like that every bedroom has its own PRIVATE BATH! The heat in winter is perfect with the electric blankets and the blazing real fireplace; and in the summer, we love, love the air conditioning!! We added a full office with Wifi and fax and have updated all the rooms. It has THREE FIREPLACES , one with remote control and one wood burning and one outside on the porch!!!. The 3 MASTER BEDS are divine. The Bunk room off one master is great for the little guys. We love the morning coffee and wine bar and the new Covered Porch and TV outside!!! Being lazy here at Lazy Bear Cottage is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location to Town!! It is within one and half miles to town for shopping, restaurants, church, and groceries!!! It is just a short walk or quick drive down the hill to put the canoe into the Beautiful Mirror Lake! AND there is not enough time to take in all the beautiful hikes and enjoy all the amazing restaurants and town activities! There is a movie theater now for first run movies, cultural plays and concerts (outdoors and indoors), craft shows, farmers' market, Art exhibits, ice skating, indoor swimming, public gym fitness classes, nightly entertainment of music and clogging, etc. etc. etc!!!
