Vaulted Pine Ceilings. Brazilian Cherry Floors. A Stone Fireplace That Means Business.

Custom-built homes have a way of announcing themselves — not loudly, but in the details that reveal someone actually cared about every decision. The massive stone wood-burning fireplace with its custom wood mantle. The wormy maple cabinets in a kitchen finished with granite and Brazilian Cherry floors. The exposed beam pine ceilings that make the great room feel like it was assembled by someone who understood exactly what a mountain home should feel like from the inside.

This is that home. Nestled on over an acre in the Hidden Springs neighborhood of Highlands, 3.8 miles from Main Street, private enough to genuinely decompress and convenient enough to make town a non-event whenever the group is ready. Five bedrooms across three levels, a game room, a hot tub, a fire pit in the yard, and a screened porch with a gas grill — this is the mountain getaway that checks every box without feeling like it was assembled from a checklist.

A Great Room That Sets the Standard  - The main level announces the quality of the whole house immediately. Vaulted pine ceilings with exposed beams stretch overhead, Brazilian Cherry floors run underfoot, and the stone fireplace — massive, wood-burning, anchored by a custom mantle — commands the room with the kind of presence that makes every evening feel like an occasion. The open kitchen flows naturally into the dining nook and great room, finished with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom wormy maple cabinetry that provides more storage than most vacation rentals attempt. A king bedroom with a private ensuite completes the main floor for whoever prefers single-level living.

Three Levels, Five Bedrooms, Everyone Accommodated - Upstairs, two queen bedrooms share a well-positioned bathroom — comfortable, private, and removed enough from the main floor activity to offer genuine rest. A twin bedroom with its own ensuite adds flexibility for younger travelers or solo guests who appreciate their own space.

The lower level is where the trip shifts into a higher gear. A game room anchored by a ping-pong table, an oversized sectional sofa, and a large flat-screen TV becomes the unofficial headquarters for rainy afternoons and late nights that outlast everyone's better judgment. A king bedroom with an ensuite and a bunk room with two sets of bunk beds — also with its own ensuite — give the lower level enough sleeping capacity to function as a self-contained wing for part of the group. Direct deck access from the hallway puts the hot tub and fire pit within easy reach from this level, which means the kids and teenagers effectively have their own outdoor space without competing for the screened porch upstairs.

Outside: Screened Porch, Hot Tub, Fire Pit — The Full Rotation The screened porch off the main living area handles the social hours — cozy seating, a gas grill, and the particular mountain stillness that a screened porch delivers when the trees are close and the air is cool. The covered lower deck takes the evening in a different direction: a hot tub positioned for maximum relaxation after a long hike, additional seating for whoever needs the quieter outdoor space, and private access from the lower king bedroom for mornings that deserve to begin outside.

When the night calls for something more elemental, the fire pit in the yard pulls everyone together — the lower deck connects directly to it, which means the transition from hot tub to fire pit is approximately twelve steps and entirely worth making.

Hidden Springs, Highlands, Everything in Between  - The Hidden Springs neighborhood offers the privacy of acreage and trees without the remoteness of being genuinely far from town. Main Street Highlands is 3.8 miles — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking trails, and everything else that makes Highlands worth the drive from wherever you're coming from. Come for a long weekend. Book a full week. With a game room, a hot tub, a fire pit, and five bedrooms spread across three thoughtfully designed levels, leaving the property requires actual motivation.

The stone fireplace will be here when you get back.

What our guests are saying...

"The perfect getaway house for a big group. We had 13 people in our group and this house was perfect for us! Great size with large rooms. The main area is spacious and a great gathering spot. Everything was set up so nice and clean! We loved the porch and the fire pit out back. I highly recommend and plan on coming back again!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Hannah
