About Ruthann Ross
The Ross Family from Franklin, TN has been enjoying Highlands for the past 5 years and look for excuses to sneak away to the mountains. Eric is an Interior Designer and Ruthann runs his business.

Ruthann Ross purchased this cottage in 2015
Why Ruthann Ross chose Highlands
The ultimate luxury is time away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Highlands is the quintessential story book town with a Main Street you would see in the movies. The shopping and restaurants are first class and the scenery is breathtaking around every corner. Our desire was to create an intimate home that we could share with family and friends as well as share the charms of Highlands.
What makes this cottage unique
What we love about our mountain cottage is the way it is tucked into the wooded landscape. Once you enter the home, a huge surprise is the sparkling view of Lake Sequoyah among the towering pine trees. Sleeping on the new screened in porch in the rain is bliss.

Wonderful Family Getaway
Our family of 6 stayed at Roostica Cabin for 4 nights in early May. This home is beautifully decorated and met our needs perfectly. We enjoyed both eating out in Highlands and cooking in the well appointed kitchen. We had cooler weather with a little rain and loved sitting by the fire on the back porch. We also appreciated the high-quality bed linens and towels.
With 3 college-aged boys, we enjoyed the easy access to Lake Sequoyah and used the kayaks to fish and explore the lake. The property and landscaping around the house was beautiful.
We would love to stay here on our next visit to Highlands.
Beautifully appointed mountain dream
We loved out stay at the cottage. The home was fully stocked with anything we could need. The kids loved fishing from the dock and paddling in the lake in the kayaks. The beds were super soft and everything was decorated gorgeously. I will note that you do have to cross a road to get to the lake- which was a bit nervy for the 2 kids. This was a perfect location- close to many outdoor activities, shopping and restaurants. The weather was absolutely perfect!
Beautifully decorated house, great screened porch!
Four ladies had a wonderful time at this house!
Kucheman's
The property was beautiful and the house had everything that you would need. No issues.
Still wonder how you managed to get the master bedroom furniture up those stairs.
Storybook Cottage Is 100% Accurate!
This home was everything we were hoping for & more for our first time staying in Highlands. We came to town in the off-season (late Feb) & spent 4 nights. This house is the epitome of cozy, quaint, well decorated, stocked, & the perfect distance to downtown. The upstairs master suite is incredible with great views of the lake! Four fireplaces - yes, four - & they're all amazing. Ruthann was wonderfully accommodating & answered any & all questions in a very timely manner. One of my favorite parts of the whole experience was the kayaks they have available under their lakeside dock that you can take out on the water. To say we were pleased would be an understatement. We will be back!
Charming decor and amazing atmosphere!
My husband and I booked the cottage for a quick weekend get away. We loved the property so much that we extended our stay. I am a designer myself and happy to say that this home is beautifully appointed from the furnishing down to the linens! The master bedroom suite is heaven with views out to the lake. Love, love, love and going back as soon as we can!
