Charming little cottage in a good location

We loved the location! A quick drive into town, or you can walk it if the weather is nice. Perfect for two people. The screen porch is very cozy and we were able to cook breakfast every morning. We appreciated the washer and dryer, and the dishwasher.

Cozy Getaway

This cottage provided the perfect little getaway to the NC mountains for my partner and I. We really, really enjoyed the walkability into downtown Highlands and the cottage itself :) highly recommend the Satulah Mountain trail for a day hike and the Ugly Dog for a bite to eat after.

Great cabin, not quite in the woods

This is a great cabin for one person or a couple with easy access by car or a ten minute walk to Main Street in Highlands. It is also a convenient base for excursions out to Cashiers, Sapphire, etc. Matthew and Alexandra, the owners, are quick to respond to questions and are great to work with. Excellent ease of access to the property.

Cozy and Clean

This little charmer was like new but in an established and convenient neighborhood. It was well appointed and we were quite pleased with the cleanliness. The reservation process and check-in/check-out were flawless. A "do over" for certain.

Needed Getaway!

My wife and I care for my mom and we got two nights away. We had a blast. We went snow tubing and ice skating at Scaley Mountain. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.

We took 4 days away from 4 kids and had everything we needed. Cottage is every bit as comfortable as advertised and the hosts go above and beyond. We will absolutely be back if they’ll have us.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew and Alexandra

Host profile image
We have a passion for traveling and adventuring and just could not seem to stop booking trips to Highlands, NC. We recently purchased our tiny cottage, which we affectionately call "Carolina Pines."

We call ourselves the "Nomadic Lifestylers" - Find us on Insta, where we document all of our traveling and adventuring, whether its at home in Louisiana or at our second home in Highlands.

Why they chose this property

While we're based out of Louisiana, we live about a week out of every month in our cozy cottage. While in Highlands, we work remotely and try to live a balanced lifestyle, with hiking and all things outdoors.

One of the best parts of Highlands is being outside in the pure crisp mountain air. Carolina Pines allows you to take full advantage of being outside being 1/4 mile from the town center. In addition to being in such close proximity to the town center, you are also just a stones throw from many beautiful hikes and waterfalls, including Highland's beautiful Biological Station and Nature Center which is only a 4 minute walk from Carolina Pines!
