About this property

Quintessential cabin in the woods. Minutes from quaint downtown Highlands, NC.

Hi! We're new to VRBO. Lucky you! We are now offering our wonderful family cabin to the world and we hope you'll book a stay. See our personal/private rental reviews at the end of the property description.

**Note that we do not "INSTANT BOOK" as we manage this property from a few hours away with the help of a local housekeeper. We want to ensure that it is top-notch and ready for you before your stay and need to confirm readiness before booking your reservation. Not to fear...We make every effort to quickly respond to your request and accommodate your dates if we are able.

Set in the lush, tree-top woods just above the quaint town of Highlands, North Carolina, Satulah Ridge is the quintessential "cozy log cabin". Snuggle in for a fall or winter day with a crackling fire (we provide the firewood :) and a Netflix binge or take in a summer mountain breeze and bird symphony on the screened porch. Don't forget your book and a cool beverage! No matter the time of year, Highlands, NC is a great getaway, made even more special with a well-appointed and comfortable place to relax and unwind.

The cabin is a short (and safe) 10-minute walk to town, just past and above Harris Lake (an easy walk to Harris Lake, Sunset Rock, The Highlands Biological Station, Mountain Fresh and all of downtown Highlands). Want to drive down?...it's just 2 minutes! Your hosts have taken every effort to provide a "home away from home" with all the necessities you may need for a weekend respite or an extended stay. The kitchen is stocked for cooking (pot of chili anyone?!), catch up on deep sleep in the cozy beds with comfy linens, lots of towels & toiletries + added perks of staple goods for cooking, various waters, beverages, coffee, and bar accouterments. The living room sofa pulls out making the perfect "pit" to take in movies or sports if you're staying in.

Whether it's shopping or dining in town or an excursion to one of the many hikes or waterfalls in the area, the cabin is conveniently located close to everything Highlands! Come home from an active day and step into the cozy hug of an authentic cabin. We look forward to hosting you!

Great cabin

My husband and I stayed here with our 9 and 11 year old. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. They thought of everything. We appreciated the coffee, snacks and half and half already in the kitchen. The cabin is decorated so cute. Would love to stay again in a different season so we can take advantage of the lovely porch.
