Highlands is a welcome break for all

Far south enough not to snow in the winter, Highlands vacation rentals are available throughout the year. For visitors coming up from the South, the cooler climate is a welcome break from the summer heat in the lowlands, while the mild winters are a warm hug for visitors from the colder areas of the North.

Just a couple of hours north of bustling Atlanta, Georgia, Highlands is nestled in the Southern Appalachian Mountains and in the Nantahala National Forest, giving respite from the stresses of daily life. Seated upon a plateau at an elevation of a little over 4,000 feet, the spectacular scenery that surrounds you and the Highlands vacation rentals is like a lush, green garden filled with mighty waterfalls. Unmissable for any nature lover! East of the Mississippi River and sitting on iconic Highway 64, Highlands is one of the country’s highest incorporated towns and sits amid one of just a handful of inspiring temperate rainforests in North America.
