Three private master suites. One breathtaking gathering place. This is the cabin that brings the whole group together without putting everyone on top of each other. Nestled in the Nantahala National Forest, just a 15 minute walk from the stunning Glen Falls waterfall and a 6 minute drive to the shops and restaurants of downtown Highlands, Glen Falls Luxury Cabin is the rare mountain retreat that offers genuine privacy and genuine togetherness in equal measure. Pet friendly and designed for families, groups of friends, and multigenerational gatherings.
The Home Here is what makes this cabin different from every other rental in the Highlands area: the three bedrooms are placed in separate parts of the home, each with its own ensuite bathroom, private closet, and a door that closes. Rather than bedrooms stacked side by side down a hallway, the suites are spread across the home's two levels, two on the main floor and one privately tucked upstairs, so each group has their own defined space to retreat to at the end of the day. Two additional half baths serve guests sleeping in the loft or living room, so everyone has a bathroom nearby without crossing through anyone else's space. But when everyone is ready to come together? The open concept great room, dining area, and kitchen were made for exactly that. Gathering Spaces Soaring vaulted ceilings in the great room Indoor stone wood burning fireplace for cozy evenings in Covered back deck with a second wood burning outdoor fireplace, Smart TV, and dining table, so the fun continues outside after dark Private fire pit in the yard for s'mores, stargazing, and late nights under the mountain sky Private gazebo tucked into the trees, perfect for a quiet morning or an afternoon escape Covered front porch with rocking chairs Dining table seats 10 Full kitchen with large central island, Cafe brand appliances including a 6-burner gas stove and electric oven, wine cooler, and full cookware, room enough for multiple cooks Bedrooms and Sleeping Bedroom 1 (Main level): King bed, full ensuite bath, private closet Bedroom 2 (Main level): Two queen beds, full ensuite bath, private closet Bedroom 3 (Upper level): Queen bed, full ensuite bath, private closet, plus a bonus hangout space great for kids' games or lounging Sofa bed in the living room Sofa bed in the upstairs loft area Two additional half baths for common area guests Sleeps up to 12 guests comfortably Comforts and Conveniences Starlink satellite WiFi throughout, great for streaming and remote work 3 Smart TVs (2 indoor, 1 outdoor on the covered deck) Full size washer and dryer Private office and workspace Keypad entry for easy arrival, no key pickup needed Gravel parking for up to 6 vehicles Pets are welcome.

This beautiful cabin was spacious and family friendly. The location is 15 minutes from the town of Highlands and lovely waterfalls! Our host Marlee was outstanding. We will be back!
Loved our stay in Highlands. The home was beautiful. Well equipped with everything we needed. Everything was clean and like new. Perfect for our families Christmas getaway to the mountains. Highly recommend!
Loved the property and location to glen falls and downtown highlands.. beautiful house and all the amenities. Internet was spotty but welcome to the mountains stop watching
What a great house! It’s new, fireplaces inside and outside on the back patio were great for the cool evenings. Kitchen is modern and upscale. The bathrooms were well appointed large and modern. Located just down from Glen falls so the hiking was great! This house was cozy yet big an inside with lots of room to stretch out and close to everything highlands has to offer… Thanks guys!
We enjoyed our stay so much! This was our second time to visit Highlands and we had the perfect house for our trip. We were a short distance from the waterfalls that we wanted to visit and downtown was just a few minutes away. I can’t say enough about the house. It was such a great layout with each bedroom and bathroom being so similar that they all felt like Masters. Marlene was a great host! Hope to make the same trip next year!
