Thanksgiving in Highlands

We loved the Acorn cottage and all it’s cheesy Acorn designs! It was the perfect layout for all of us (my kids and husband and my parents). The semi-outdoor porch was our 5 o clock spot with beautiful fire place. The kids played by the stream in the yard during the day and then the short ride to Main Street was super convenient. Also the walk across the street to the Smokehouse 😋 Highly recommend!

It is very comfortable and well equipped except we would have loved a toaster. Also, we didn't realize there was not a regular coffee pot but only a Keurig. Not a big problem but nice to know for future visitors. LOVED the big porch.

100% recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Acorn Cottage. The location was perfect for exploring Highlands and the surrounding area.The cottage was a perfect set up for our group (parents, grandparents, and 2 kids). It was very clean and came well stocked, including extra toilet paper and paper towels. The only thing missing was a toaster, which I find to be a staple item in a kitchen. But this was not a dealbreaker for us. We would 100% stay at this property again.

Labor Day

We had a wonderful time and greatly enjoyed your home. Just two quick pieces of feedback - the air freshener diffusers were very strong so we just enclosed them in ziplocs while we were there. Also, the cleaning lady came at 745 this morning and sat in the driveway until we left at 10. She was perfectly nice but it kind of felt like we were being rushed off this morning. Again, all in all a wonderful stay, but just wanted to share those thoughts with you. Thanks for having us.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband David is a Highlands Lifer having spend many of his summers in Highlands at the property diagonally across from the Nature Museum with the long stone wall. This was his grandmother's home many years ago. Sarah LOVES the mountains and all that it has to offer. Our family currently resides in Charleston, SC. To us, our cottage is the perfect blend between the old and modern feel with us always working to make improvements for our guests. Some of the old has been left old to maintain the cottage's mountain feel. We share so that our guests can appreciate and enjoy our dream vacation.
