Lake Sequoyah vacation rentals

This wonderfully appointed mountain home offered everything we wanted. The house is private and quiet in a beautiful wooded setting but close enough to Highlands that we could enjoy the local restaurants and shopping. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light despite the wooded setting so the indoors feels open and welcoming. We will definitely come back to Rural Felicity on our next trip to Highlands.

terrific cottage in a super quiet area. we were serenaded by the frogs!

Main gem of home has to be the expansive covered deck with daybed swing and so many other seating options overlooking the scenic backyard scape and partial lake view. We hung out on the deck every chance we got to enjoy the serene views, wind chimes, nature sounds and rainfalls (and so few bugs!). Other gems: firepit area (didn't use this stay) and dock access to lake with well-built canoe and kayak provided (kids took canoe few times). Too much lake bottom silt for us to want to swim but good cardio exercise walking up/down the 56 sturdy wood platform steps. Driveway somewhat steep and a bit of a challenge for our minivan but alas, you are in the mountains. Plentiful stock of bath/beach towels, linens/pillows/blankets, laundry pods/dish soap and even some board games. In the kitchen frig and pantry by front door, even some staples left from owner/other guests for you to use. Beds comfortable, also the couches! House super clean and so inviting!!Top notch communication with Holly and rental place, and they even send you a link of a guestbook about the house info (keypad access is so easy!) and local area guide of places to visit/eating places. Dry Falls a must see (very close from house)-spectacular waterfall you can walk behind and not far from parking lot. And a swimming water hole down the road from it (Quarry Falls/Bust Your Butt Falls??). Favorite places to eat: Blue Bike Cafe (breakfast/lunch), Four65 Woodfire Bistro (pizza) in downtown Highlands.Hope to return!!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning home in Highlands, NC, and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful surroundings, tasteful decor, and thoughtful amenities. The home is spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed. Every room feels like a serene escape.The kitchen was fully equipped and perfect for cooking meals together, and the outdoor spaces were truly something special. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the porch surrounded by nature, and our evenings relaxing by the firepit under the stars. It was the perfect balance of luxury and coziness.The location is ideal — close enough to enjoy all the charm of downtown Highlands, yet tucked away in a quiet, private setting. Whether you're hiking nearby trails, exploring waterfalls, or just unwinding at the house, this place makes it all feel magical. The hosts were incredibly responsive and welcoming, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish.We can't wait to return — truly a hidden gem in the mountains. Highly, highly recommended!

My husband and I absolutely loved Highlands Hytte. Mirror lake is such a perfect location, and this cottage fits right in. Adorable decor with really smart design choices that elevate and maximize the space.

Wonderful stay at the cottage. The house is very well appointed and cozy. Highly recommend.

Everything was as described in listing. Enjoyed our weekend!

We recently had a fabulous stay at the Mill House. The house has so much character and charm. We call it "rustic mountain chic". There are a variety of spaces inside and out to enjoy the refreshing mountain weather and beauty. The house is at the Mirror Lake dam and Cullasaja River. The water noise from the dam and stream is like a beautiful constant white noise. The home has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and a well appointed kitchen. Initially we were concerned about possible road noise but the background of the rushing water completely masks any minimal road noise. Our biggest daily dilemma was which space inside and outside to sit and enjoy! This is a lovely home and well suited for small or large groups. We highly recommend Mill House!
