This carriage house is the perfect getaway- it's far enough from the main home that guests have the utmost privacy yet the owners live onsite year round and are able to help with the renters every need. It overlooks a beautifully wooded backyard that is on the National Forest. Rental offers ample parking for 2 cars and an easy walk up the small stone stairs and onto your own private screened porch. Once inside, the open floor plan has a bank of windows that floods the newly renovated kitchen, dining, and living areas with fresh morning light. There are two cozy queen bedrooms connected by a spacious and newly renovated jack and jill bathroom with a shared stand alone shower. Central heat and air. Washer/Dryer. Vaulted Ceilings. Open Floor Plan.

About Kristy Jones-Favalli
We are two retirees in our 50's and 60's who have relocated to Highlands from Georgia. We absolutely love and enjoy our piece of Heaven here in Highlands and look forward to hosting and sharing it with you.
Kristy Jones-Favalli purchased this Cottage in 2016
Why Kristy Jones-Favalli chose Highlands
The seclusion yet in town location, clean and updated decor, friendly owners, and affordable pricing set this property out from the rest.
What makes this Cottage unique
While the living areas are flooded with light, the bedrooms have black out shades and you will surely get the best sleep of your life. There is an on-site dry creek that creates the sounds of rushing waters after a heavy rain and the property backs up to the National Forest, making exploring fun!

Charming Mountain Cottage
This cottage is just wonderful! It is charming , comfortable, cozy, spotlessly clean, and so peaceful . Tucked away in a beautiful mountain setting yet located close to downtown Highlands , it is ideal for a relaxing, stress free getaway. The owners Faye and Bill are welcoming, gracious and helpful. Our stay at Vale Cottage was very special and we look forward to returning.
Beautiful Highlands
Property was clean and well equipped. TV and internet worked really well. They also supplied Netflix. Peaceful and quiet. Owners who live on the property were kind and helpful! Great place to stay in the Highlands.
Great Highlands rental
Conveniently located, comftorable, immaculate rental that is very close to Highlands. Great for a couple, small family or would work for 2 couples.
Loves it. Will be back
We loved our stay! The cottage is very nicely decorated, clean and secluded. We loved the screened in porch. The owner, Bill was amazing. So welcoming and helpful throughout our trip. He took our son to see the wild turkeys on the property, brought us the local paper several mornings, and even made- that’s right, made, a nightlight for us to take home. So thoughtful. We’ve been visiting Highlands for the past 6 years and will probably make this home our home away from home for the next 6...if they’ll have us!
We loved our stay! Beautiful accommodations! The owners were wonderful. Great experience!
The accommodations are beautiful. Everything is newly renovated. Super clean. Great location. Just barely a 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. Everything was perfect down to the tiniest details. Would highly recommend this place.
Serene Perfection!! ❤️
This place is absolutely perfect! Immaculate, beautifully decorated, private, well-stocked, close to town - the list goes on and on....our stay was so relaxing and memorable. Bill and Faye (property owners) are so kind and accommodating, yet respectfully gave us privacy during our stay.
We travel frequently and this was one of our most memorable vacations. Just lovely!!! We will be back!
