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!

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!
Terrific
Very nice, updated, extraordinarily clean. Owners very responsive to any questions and needs if any. Epitome of southern hospitality.
Quaint and beautiful property!
We had a wonderful stay in this cozy, immaculate, and accommodating cottage. The owners were very sweet and we felt extremely safe. We had a great time and will be back very soon!
The perfect place to stay for a visit in Highlands!
This cottage will make you wish you never had to leave. It has everything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The views are gorgeous and the atmosphere relaxing. We were just minutes from hiking, town, and everything else the mountains had to offer. Our stay was perfect and we know yours will be too!
This cottage was the perfect get-away. It was comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated.
The view was so pretty, and we saw gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the mountain range. Faye and Bill, the owners who live next door, were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was an easy drive to downtown Highlands, but very private and quiet. We highly recommend this cottage!
Fabulous, one of three best places we have stayed in in all our travels
Unit was very accessible, very well laid out and decorated beautifully, view was outstanding, access to town was easy with on site owners cordial and welcoming. We will definitely be back to the unit again.
