Wonderful Home, Beautiful Setting

This home is very well appointed, and has the best views of the mountains in Highlands. It is close to downtown and several trails are easily accessed. It's a quiet neighborhood and the sunrise views are breathtaking. It was a pleasure to communicate with Elliott, the owner.

Perfect Weekend

Our group of four had the best weekend at the cottage. The place was amazing and very accommodating. Owner was always available for communication which was greatly appreciated. We stayed for a wedding in Highlands and the cottage was a 5-10min drive from all activities. We will definitely be back again!

Amazing

I booked this cabin because I always wanted to vacation in the Nantahala Gorge. This turned out to be amazing, this cabin is remote and feels like you are in a mountain wonderland. Everything you can possibly need is at this cabin and the hosts do an amazing job of making sure of it. Very clean and the property it sits on is simply incredible. Me and my wife spent every evening by one of the firepits (porch or next to the river) and I spent several hours per day fly fishing the Upper Nantahala! We visited the NOC several times and explored many other mountain towns which are a close drive away. We've loved this area for many many years and if you are thinking about staying here, book it now because you won't be disappointed. We are looking forward to our next trip back already. Thanks Laura and Brandon!

Beautiful cabin, high on a ridge, close to town. Beautifully decorated. Lots of amenities. Kitchen was especially well stocked. Great selection of spices, vinegars, oils and snacks! Loved the wood burning fireplace. Great screened in porch running the whole length of the house. Peace and quiet. A beautiful cozy getaway!
