It absolutely doesn’t get more comfortable than Boathouse Lane.

The Location: Boathouse Lane is perfectly situated in the corridor between Highlands and Cashiers. It’s in a gated community on the serene backdrop of Lake Ravenel . It’s just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy but close enough that dinner/shopping on Main Street is quick jaunt away. The Property: Boathouse Lane is privately located on a large lakefront lot with no other homes on the street. The neighborhood takes attention to detail seriously and has meticulously captured the natural beauty of the areas while blending in charming high-end homes. The driveway is flat and not the least bit intimidating with only one step to the main door. There is a small grass yard for frolicking and beautiful landscaping that is indigenous to the area.The Cabin: Boathouse Lane has all brand new high end finishes, including wood walls, wood ceilings, a soaring stone hearth fireplace inside and another wood burning fireplace outside, a spacious outdoor screened porch, and oversized King suites with ensuite bathrooms to match.

The kitchen is to the right and looks onto the large gathering room with two different living spaces and a sliding door that leads to an oversized screen porch with wood-burning fireplace. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor, a King master suite with an impressively large his and hers ensuite bathroom featuring his and hers toilets and vanities, a double-soded shower, and a large soaking tub.

Oh, and we won’t spoil the secret but there are some fun secret hiding places for the kids built throughout the house. The Area: Highlands is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast.
