Lovely mountain home. We so enjoyed the hot tub.., very clean. The beds were all comfy, and the updated kitchen was spacious. Lightning could use improvements in all rooms. We were very pleased with the close proximity to activities we were interested in.

This house is adorable & Garrard was a great host! There was a slight parking issue (no fault of the host), and he made sure to contact me and have someone waiting to guide us to where we needed to parkIt was the perfect cozy place for a girl's weekend with my best friend and the house is close to all the shops & restaurants in Highlands as well as the wonderful waterfall trails

Perfect home for our needs

Everything was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was very nice. Great location between Highlands and Cashiers. Just far enough off the main road to make it quiet and peaceful, but not too far to feel out of the way.

About the host

Hosted by Garrard Adams

Host profile image
I am a young professional who lives in Atlanta. I bought this property to have a weekend get a way place that was a short drive from Atlanta. I live in the Vinings area of Atlanta and can be at my Highlands place in two hours and 15 minutes door to door.

Why they chose this property

I bought my house in Highlands as an investment. The town of Highlands continues to grow and attract a sophisticated yet casual group of successful visitors and home owners. The Highlands community is very cordial and offers everything from live theater to antique shopping and other great retail stores. Highlands Main Street has been called the Worth Avenue of the mountains. Main Street offers everything from screw drivers to fine dining to estate jewelry and home accessories.

What makes this property unique

High Cotton Cottage offers many great benefits to enjoy during your stay. The cottage is located on a hill which over looks Buck Creek. You can hear the soothing sounds of the creek from my decks and many rooms of the house. The cottage is very cozy and has a stone fireplace with a gas starter. The hot tub on the rear of the house looks off into the woods for total relaxation and enjoyment. The cottage is located in a private neighborhood owned by a group of five families who are all friends.
