The house was so charming and impeccably clean, and we had everything we needed. The location was unbeatable. We would love to visit again!

Truly a magnificent cottage nestled in the heart of Highlands! Every detail was so well thought of and perfectly appointed...and so close to town. When we arrived, the lights were on and waiting for us - our room was even cooling down in anticipation of our walking in. Stuck in rain storms, we enjoyed our time on porch listening to the rain and admiring the tiniest of details in the beautiful gardens. We found a tiny puzzle before bed last night which we proceeded to put together as a family. If you stay, make sure to look around and notice all of the special books and nooks in the entire cottage - so much to discover. Loved our adventure in the pixie cottage and would love to stay again! Thank you, Richard, for a special couple of days while we picked up kids from camp.

Richard was very accommodating. The house was very clean. We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin very much and plan to return soon

We wanted to do a little getaway in the Highlands, so that means searching for the perfect place to stay . We looked at a ton of places, but I am SO happy we picked this beautiful little cabin . It's beautiful in pictures , but in person it's absolutely perfect ! The bed is super comfy , everything inside the home is beautiful, and the location is close to downtown and hiking trails . We loved our stay so much!

Precious, quaint and comfortable "little cabin in the woods!" Plus I have never seen such gorgeous landscaping in so beautiful an area! My daughter and her family stayed her in June for her sister's wedding in Highlands and enjoyed themselves immensely!

Richard's house is magical...magical as in a fairy tale set from a film. The home is furnished with interesting and eclectic furniture and art and there was a sense of detail and purpose throughout. It's certainly rustic but we didn't find any amenities missing and it was very clean upon arrival. It's a mountain cabin and it fits the environment in the most appropriate way. Hand carved railings, bark siding, lush foliage and flowers, outdoor sitting areas for breakfast or board games made for a wonderful stay. Arrival access was easy, Richard was very responsive and it's .5 miles from downtown Highlands, although I wouldn't recommend walking on the narrow road to town. We will book again. A++

Richard's cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway. Outstanding location close to town while still having some privacy. We loved winding down at the end of our days with a fire. We can't wait to come back!

This was the neatest place, like a fairy tale cottage, I'll be back

The chalet was amazing! Very close to downtown. Excellent value! And Jackie was very communicative.

What an exceptional place to stay. Whenever I'm on vacation I usually feel like I'm wasting time in my room. Here I found myself wantung to just hang out in this casually elegant retreat. In such a beautiful area, with so many interesting things to do, that's saying alot. Jackie has found a way to make you comfortable in place so unfamiliar. Kudos. We will be back, and we won't bother looking for another place to stay.

This chalet is a wonderful home. It's very clean, comfortable and cozy with attention to every detail. Grill with charcoal, washer/dryer and detergents, toiletries,..... Jackie has gone over and beyond to provide everything you would need and is quickly available if you have any questions or concerns. She is very easy to communicate with! And our 2 teens loved the unique way it was designed. Although the chalet is set off the main highway, the way it is surround by trees and the beautiful landscape she has created provides a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the earth God has created.

We absolutely LOVED Jackie's Mountain Chalet! She put so much into making it the perfect place to relax and just hang out with our family. The weather was perfect for us to enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating areas (3 different porches!) around the chalet. So private and peaceful and so close to town, waterfalls, hiking, and so much more. Jackie was great in communicating with us prior to our trip with quick answers to our questions and great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. Read all of the OTHER wonderful reviews for this place. It is truly an amazing chalet! This is our 10th AirBnB rental and once again, we were not disappointed. I don't think we will ever stay in a hotel room ever again.

Great place to stay in the highlands !

Just not our cup of tea. VERY noisy location, way too many furnishings - could hardly turn around in the bedroom, crazy tv system.... That being said, Jackie could not have been more accommodating about problems that arose. Maybe it's just us.....

Communication with Jackie was easy, she's super friendly and responsive. Check in was a breeze because we arrived a little early, which she okayed, and personally handed me the key! The house is super duper cute with loads of relaxing spaces to hang out and relax inside and out. Our lab retriever was right at home and loved the fenced in back yard. My four year old son said as we were leaving, "mommy, I'm really going to miss this house!" It's also really close to town, the sunset rock hiking trail which was great for a mom on her own with toddler and dog, as well as the beautiful Bascom Art Center. They generously showed my son around the pottery studio :) The weather was gorgeous throughout our stay so we were able to enjoy the front balcony for lunch both days. We definitely plan to come back again!

We had a great time at Jackie's place. The cabin is very cozy and the decoration is beautiful. The house is on a main street, but there was hardly any traffic while we were there. There are many things to do in close vicinity. We went hiking on Whiteside Mountain and Yellow Mountain. There is also a really nice scenic trail into town from the cabin which took us about 20 minutes. Parts of Highlands feel magical. I would definitly recommend Jackie's cabin.

The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable! We arrived and had no trouble finding the place nor getting inside. It is secluded, cozy and everything you would need to fix meals or coffee. I highly recommend this rental as a nice, private getaway for a couple. The only drawback would be this: In winter weather it might be a little difficult to manage the driveway. We went when it had rained for three days straight and we were glad we had our Tundra. This is due to the gravel

This cottage is perfect for those that want to be in a quiet wooded setting but also close to town at the same time. The Cottage on Main is immacualtely clean and charming! Jerry is a wonderful host and my husband and I look forward to staying there again in the near future!

From the time we booked our stay to when we checked out the overall experience was perfect. The cottage is wonderful for a nice romantic stay in the Highlands. It is minutes from the downtown area as well as many of the scenic overlooks and waterfalls. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Highlands!

Great location and very comfortable home away from home. Jerry was also great at communication, helpful and available to help!

The little place exceeded our expectations.

Great property in a great location at a fair price.

Jerry's cabin is both centrally located to the businesses on Main Street and a secluded mountain getaway - what a find! The house itself is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Everything was meticulously labeled so we were able to easily navigate the space and felt immediately at home. We loved drinking coffee on the back porch surrounded by trees - even more so during the rainstorms we experienced. You're only a 2 minute drive from the Main Street Inn - or a 10 minute walk if you're comfortable with about 200 feet without a sidewalk (we tried this once ourselves in the daylight and did see other people doing it throughout the weekend, so it happens!) Be aware that Uber/Lyft has not made its way to Highlands quite yet and the cab companies are fairly unreliable. Not that it mattered too much - most places close early and we were thrilled to spend most of our evenings settled into our home away from home. (Again, often on the porch, enjoying the nature around us or playing with the bimini ring game.) Check-in was a breeze and Jerry was quick to answer any questions we sent through the AirBnB app. This house is truly a gem and we can't recommend it highly enough!

I rented Jerry's place for my parents anniversary. They loved everything about this house.

Awesome place! Can't wait to rent again.

Great location and great host. Very responsive. Definitely recommend. Highlands is a very pretty town. Lots of pretty waterfalls in the area.

Excellent close-to-town location, beautiful grounds and scenery, relaxing, immaculate, and a great value.

Very comfortable, roomy, great layout, nicely appointed villa in a private golf community conveniently located between Highlands and Cashiers, NC.

My husband and I stayed here with our 6 month old during a family get together in highlands. Close to town, across from mirror lake, easy to find. The pictures don't do it justice. Would stay here 1,000 more times. We LOVED this place.

We stayed at Mark's place for a quick weekend getaway & it was absolutely perfect! The whole process was easy with great communication from the beginning to the immaculate cabin. Mark also gave us great places to eat & explore for our first time in the area. River Bunk is definitely on our list for places to get back to!

Such a special place! This is the perfect location for a quick Highlands get-away! Beautifully furnished and comfortable. Delightful kitchen! The view of the river is very tranquil. Highly recommend!!

One of the coziest, cutest places I've ever been. We absolutely loved it! And the host was fantastic. Generous with perfect suggestions for our free time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My only wish is that my recommendation isn't to positive so it will be available the next time we come to Highlands, Haha :)

What a great time we had at The River Bunk! Mark was a very gracious host and the bunk was perfect for a getaway from Atlanta. The kitchen was great, location was amazing, the house was really clean, and the Halloween decorations were simply awesome! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cute and cozy getaway in Highlands. Thanks again Mark!

We loved our stay at the River Bunk cabin for our anniversary. The location was quaint perfectly situated near the Highlands Downtown. It was unseasonably chilly the weekend we were up so Mark had a fire ready for us. There are heaters throughout the cabin for use which is great. The kitchen is a magnificent cooks kitchen although I'm not sure how much you'll use it with the wonderful restaurants of Cashiers/Highlands nearby. There was an extensive guests guide with directories for local sights and eats. Per Mark's suggestion, definitely check out the Log Cabin restaurant and do lunch at Slab Town in Cashiers. Their Chopped Salad is to die for!

Generous hosts! Place is quaint, pleasant, and well-stocked with goodies. Plus, it's a great location. Perfect quiet getaway!

The hosts were very welcoming and had great communication. The place was perfect. We would recommend staying there.

Oh, how we loved our (temporary) home in Highlands! The décor was young and tasteful and the beds divine. You'll love it too.

My parents and I enjoyed a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday weekend at this cottage. It was just the right size for our family and the décor and amenities were top-notch. It's very close to downtown Highlands. I walked to town and back one of the days when the weather wasn't so cold. Beds were comfortable and the shower is incredible. The hostess, Kristy, sent a detailed list of things to do and places to see about a week before we got to Highlands, so that was very helpful in our planning and making reservations at restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back next year!

We loved getting away from it all in Highlands and this home was PERFECT. Really comfortable and the ideal staging area for all our activities. Actually, maybe too perfect as it was hard to leave and go do anything! :). Love the library! Kristy is an awesome host and very responsive. We will definitely be back!

This cottage is beyond cute! Bed was super comfy. Walk to town was a little longer than anticipated, but still an easy walk. Will definitely check out Kristy's other rentals when returning to the area!

Lovely little retreat in the Highlands!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Adirondack Guest Cottage. We were in town for a wedding, but having grown up in Highlands it was pretty neat staying so close to the K-12th school I went to. The location is absolutely perfect. Close enough to walk to town, but yet nestled in the trees. It almost feels like you're staying in a treehouse :) The size of the cottage was just right, and I loved the high ceilings. We plan on making this our go to stay when we come to visit. Thank you Kristy for being a great host and having such a fantastic cottage!

My mother and I stayed in this lovely "lofty" style cottage during a recent trip to Highlands, NC over Mother's Day. The host sent us details on check-in/check-out and all that we needed to know a couple of weeks before our trip in a a convenient PDF and everything was well documented. The place is a small, cozy spot full of modern-rustic charm. Four people could stay, but it was ideal for the two of us who each wanted our own room. Not having stayed in an airbnb property before, I didn't bring soap or shampoo for the shower and none was provided... now I know. Outside of that, it seems everything you might need is there. The location is convenient to town - we discovered that the initial arrival direction (per GPS) brought us in one way, but walking the other way is just about a half mile from the great grocery store where locals go for breakfast. That said, the location is very convenient to town whether by car or by foot. As city folks, we were unfamiliar with the bear-proof garbage bin and had to consult (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) for how to open it (hint: latch hidden inside the "tube" on top)! Owner might want to include that info in the instruction sheet. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay very much and felt very welcomed and at home the entire time - makes me want to buy a place in Highlands!

Suzanne's house was wonderful! It's on a large lot providing great outdoor space and quiet surroundings. The deck is great for sitting outside amongst the trees. The house is spacious and nice. I look forward to returning!

I have never been so close to the hubbub, but at the same time felt like I was in the country. Loved paddling downstream in the canoe.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay! AMAZING location, so close to downtown but feels really private and quiet. The home was bigger than we expected, well furnished, but not very stocked (we bought some toilet paper and travel-size shower stuff). All in all great value and great location.

Rustic and comfortable mountain house with all the basics and some nice extras like granite kitchen countertops and a big open living space.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nice clean home in a great location. Wonderful patios and outdoor areas.

What a magical weekend! The Love Shack is the perfect mountain getaway - Peggy was a gracious host, the cabin is cozy and beautifully decorated, and the views of Whiteside mountain are absolutely incredible. The screened-in porch with rocking chairs is the perfect spot to relax and recharge. We absolutely loved it and hope to be back soon!

Incredible! We are definitely making the Love Shack our mountain getaway destination.

Beautiful space with breathtaking views. This amazing cottage is located just outside of downtown highlands on a beautiful piece of property. The space is well appointed and attractively designed and perfect for a romantic getaway. Peggy was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. Would most definitely stay here on all of our future visits to Highlands!

You what we loved about this place? Everything. Was it cute, and very stylish, and close to town but also in the middle of nowhere? Yes, yes, yes and also yes. This place is meant for two people (who like each other) to get away, relax, and enjoy an elegant and serene time. Also, Highlands is delightful, shopping is great, the food scene was excellent, and the hiking is exquisite. We loved it!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Highlands. The view is incredible, the bed is outstanding and Peggy could not have been more helpful. The Love Shack is a little slice of heaven. Thank you, Peggy. We will definitely be back!

Mountainside Sanctuary! My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Highlands to celebrate our third anniversary. To call the love shack home for a few days made for the best one yet. What Peggy and Bob have done here with this very special corner of the world is nothing short of magic. Not a single detail or amenity has been over looked. Its pure bliss. The perfect place to recharge, relax, and enjoy the tranquil environment that surrounds you, and just moments away the ever charming town center. Thank you so very much for sharing such an amazing space with all us. Keep doing the wonderful job you do as superb hosts.

This place is absolutely stunning, and Peggy is a wonderful hostess. The view from the Love Shack is a legitimate, "million-dollar" view. We loved waking up to it every morning. Book now, don't think twice!

Peggy’s place is a secluded gem. With multiple outdoor fire pits and a kitchen why even leave? The views are spectacular and the bed, super comfy. We will definitely be back and a great first Airbnb. This place sets the bar high.

Great, clean location. Close to downtown Highlands and all the shops.

We had A wonderful stay with Colleen for a few days and they last-minute getaway. We brought four of our young kids and there was plenty of space to sleep. We could have used a little bit more living space but we knew what we were getting into. Colleen was very helpful and it was so nice to stay so close to town. This is a great fine for someone wanting to be close to town and to hiking.

Easy check in, very quiet and peaceful. Very close to town and Colleen had all the amenities for us!

Clean and quaint. Quiet and a short ride from town. My kids loved it.

Great place to stay in Highlands. I attended a wedding in town and this place was extremely convenient to downtown. Colleen was great to communicate with and she made sure that the rental was well stocked with towels, shampoo, soap and other things I forgot to bring. Also, there is a keurig which was important for me as I need several cups of coffee to get rolling in the morning. I'll definitely plan on staying here the next time I visit.

Colleen was a great host - checking in, in advance to see that we were all set and if we needed the outside light left on for a late arrival. The accommodation was exactly as described and the perfect hide away in the highlands.

Colleen's place was wonderful! When we first arrived we were greeted with snacks and her two adorable dogs. The house is in a great location close to town, in a very beautiful area. Coleen even provided us with extras like shampoo, soap, towels, and a few dishes for us to use. I would definitely reccomend her place to family and friends and hope to come back in the future!

Colleen and her place were great! We were arriving very late which was no problem as the apartment has a keypad entry. She emailed the week before with detailed directions, contact information, and keypad access code. The apartment was clean and just what our group needed for a short weekend trip. The hot tub was a huge plus!

Great, private location, very quiet, relaxing. Everything you need for a stay in the mountains. Jan Michael was very helpful and the whole process couldn't have been smoother.

We arrived for our first visit to highlands, Called and Micheal answered the phone. The Hobbit Cottage has high wood bark timbered ceilings in a spectacular location, private, no traffic overlooking the treetops and mountain. Never heard any sound except for the birds, and waterfall. Many extra's we did not expect, such as robes, slippers, milk and oj in refrigerator. Lovely walk through the woods to a secluded waterfall next door. Michael couldn't have been nicer to help us navigate around town with suggestions for restaurants, nightlife and area sites.

Adorable cottage on beautiful grounds! Minutes away from town & beautiful hikes right outside your doorstep! Wonderful & welcoming host!

Great private cottage; Jan was always available, and a great host. I hope we can come back again, soon!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Jan was wonderful. He was quick to respond to our questions and he was very pleasant. The location was great and we got to enjoy the waterfall nearby. Everything we needed were available. We are very happy we stayed here and would recommend it if you like to visit the Highlands.

Beautiful, quiet setting. Great trail to an amazing waterfall. The host certainly made us feel welcome. He went that extra step that makes you sure of how proud he is to open his guest cottage.

Enjoyed our stay! The place was homey and perfect for our outing! Meredith was quick to respond and available.

Great location and affordable. Quiet little neighborhood close to town. We had a great weekend!

Our family had a wonderful and comfortable stay. The home was quaint but great proximity to town and outdoor fun! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and our children loved the fort and fire pit.

A nice mountain cabin with an amazing deck. A short drive from town too!

Enjoyed staying at this cool mountain home. It's in a good location that's only a few minutes drive from downtown Highlands. It comfortably fit 5 people for the weekend.

This is a wonderfully warm and welcoming home for visiting Highlands and the surrounding area. This quiet house is just minutes from downtown Highlands, and not far from Cashiers. The listing was very accurate, and our hosts were easy and friendly and concerned about our enjoyment. One day when we didn't feel like driving to a hiking area, we enjoyed the pleasant walk around the immediate neighborhood, which is peaceful and beautiful. We would not hesitate to rent this home again. We looked at a lot of different listings before choosing this one, and feel we made a great choice.

Tara was just great to communicate with! She was very responsive and very pleasant. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. It's close to town yet feels private and close to nature; we never heard neighbors. Sanctuary is an older family home that's been added onto over the years. From the master bedroom, you walk through the smallest bedroom to get to the main living area; this set-up would be ideal with kids in the small bedroom (or you could go outside from the master and walk around the house, exploring the neighborhood!). We'll definitely stay here when we return to Highlands.

Highlands is a beautiful place and this home is one mile from downtown. My wife and I booked this home last minute and it was perfect. Highly recommend. Thanks Tera and Bill for everything

There was no house instructions or manual which would have been helpful in figuring out the TV and informing us that there was internet. Who knew? The musty smell in the house would probably go away if they would get rid of the 50 year old chairs in the living room and the ancient blankets on the beds. Soap and kleenex in the bathroom would have been nice, as would more than one hand towel. Appliances need to be updated.

Our expectations of the 'mountain sanctuary' was met in every aspect. There is certainly enough room in this house in the hills for six people to use as a centrally located base to beautiful Highlands, NC.

Great stay!!

Great place to stay! Close to Highlands and Cashiers! Home was clean and cozy! Thank you for letting us stay!

The house is great and Carole was there to help in any way. We lost electricity due to Hurricane Irma and Carole was kind enough to bring us wood for the fireplace. The house was stocked with plenty of kitchen essential and we had plenty of towels and the essentials. It is a lovely home and so close to the grocery store and downtown Highlands.

Carol was a wonderful host for us. The house was exactly as she described(even better!). The spacious home is in a small quaint neighborhood 5 minutes from The Highlands, Which made our experience wonderful. Next time we are in the area we will definitely stay here again. Much to my wife's delight, the home was stocked with excellent cookware, so we were able to cook in as planned.

We loved the Treehouse and will be back! The location is perfect, about a mile from town tucked into a nice wooded neighborhood. Very quiet and relaxing, you're close to everything yet far enough away to feel like you're really in a retreat in the woods. The pictures online don't do the place justice, its cozy, warm, well furnished and fully equipped with anything you could possibly need. The house is much larger than we expected, our group was 4 adults and two small dogs and we all had plenty of space. We enjoyed cocktails and grilling on the back deck overlooking the trees. Its the perfect place to come back to after a day of hiking and exploring Highlands. The beds were all very comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. Carole was a pleasure to work with and made the rental process easy. We look forward to our next trip. Eric & Bridget

Beautiful, spacious home, with a very accommodating host! The screened in porch is delightful any time of day. Highly recommend this listing.

This house was perfect for our group, and the location couldn't be better. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This home is fantastic. We had a girls weekend to celebrate a birthday and it was warm and cozy, secure and had every comfort we needed to enjoy our time in highlands. Additionally, Carole was a great hostess and made it easy to check in and check out.

Carole is a great host. She leaves the house in perfect order, stocked with firewood, toiletries, linens, cookware, etc. so you can ease right into the house without worrying about all that stuff. She even left the fireplace filled with wood and ready to light. The house was exactly as described. It's very cozy and comfortable! The photos don't do the place justice. It's nicer! There are many sitting areas in the house. The living room has plenty of seating. There's another seating area adjacent to the living room. There's a front porch, back deck, and a screened porch. The screened porch is really nice and cozy, with plenty of seating, lighting, and fresh air. The neighborhood is quiet and it's close to downtown shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, hiking trails, and scenic drives. There are other houses nearby, but the houses all sit at different levels on the mountain. With that and the trees between them all, it's a quiet and private place to be. Carole emailed a day or two after we arrived to make sure things were going well. She left visitor information brochures and menus to local restaurants so we could check those things out right from the home. Everyone was pleased with the stay and we'll definitely stay here again. This was my first Airbnb trip and Carole made it a good one!

Linda's hospitality made our first visit to Highlands, NC a success. Her home is beautiful, tucked away on the side of a mountain with fabulous views. The apartment is perfect. Plenty of space, exquisite taste in furnishings and everything that we needed. And the king size bed is dreamy. Everything is very high end. It was so much more than we had anticipated. The apartment is very secure and very private in a prestigious neighborhood. The three rooms provides ample space to spread out your things and feel right at home and Linda did a great job providing everything that you would need in the kitchen and bathroom areas. No need to bring anything but your love of adventure. The stone patio was a great place to hang out and enjoy the sun and the view. We could not have asked for a more gracious hostess or a nicer place.

Linda's place is great find in the charming town of Highlands, NC. She has newly renovated the entire space, so bedding, furniture, towels, and other amenities are all brand new! The place is within walking distance to town, although we chose to drive, and we woke each morning to a beautiful mountain view from our room. Highly recommended!

What a fabulous mountain retreat! As described perfectly on the website this 4 bedroom home sits in a golfing community that's a short drive to downtown Highlands. The hosts have considered every detail for a comfortable stay. Communicating with Chris was very efficient and informative. After a cozy winter weekend by the fire place and watching movies, I am eager to book this home again when my husband can join me for some hiking! Thank you for listing this jewel!

We had an excellent stay! We felt so at home during our stay and could not have asked for any additional amenities. Highlands was the ideal location for a getaway and we definitely enjoyed hiking and seeing the town. We spent a great deal of time grilling and cooking in this lovely home. Very glad that decided to stay and would definitely go back!

Chris's house in Highlands was a wonderful quiet getaway. Large rooms and comfortable,great fairway view and gurgling creek to relax to the sound of. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again when we're back in the area! Thanks Chris.

It was a great rental!!!

Wonderful and beautiful home! Everything you need and more for a wonderful vacation!!

Our experience with Chris was way beyonf our expectations! he made sure that we were comfortably welcomed and all the details were laid out for us before arrival. The home was outstanding! Huge house overlooking the beautiful golf course and mountains view behind the course. A fantastic house for a family gathering and we hope to bring together some of, if not all, of our large blended family! We had an opportunity to brag to everyone at the wedding we attended about Chris and AirBNB! Can't wait to return for another weekend and this time we'll enjoy the walk to the deck with the fire pit.

Chris was a great host and always quick to respond. The house was in a great location and had a great layout.

Fabulous host and location and plenty of room for the family!

The view is outstanding. The place was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The master bed and bath have the same amazing views as the deck. Stone walk in showers and deep soaker tub were delightful. The living space is inviting with multiple seating options. The kitchen has everything you need. But the deck..... The deck is just spectacular. We grilled and ate on the deck at sunset, beat any 5 star restaurant.

Unbeatable view from the deck, and great location with perfect length walk into town...not to mention the attractive and comfortable furnishings.

The cottage was very quaint and inviting. Loved the location and the it was just as the listing was described. The host had prepared a very nice setting for our vacation.

LeVan was easy to work with while booking the house and before our arrival. The house is super well appointed with everything you could possibly need on vacation in Highlands. The house is centrally located and just minutes from town and a quick drive to many beautiful hikes, falls, neighboring towns. We loved our stay in Highlands and LeVan's house was perfect for our family of 5! We'll be back!

I was looking for accommodations for a girls weekend for 3 women in the Highlands NC. Our cottage was lovely and charming and very well appointed. It was one of the closest venues to town other than staying at an Inn. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, the bedrooms cozy and private and instructions on what we needed to do were very clear and easy to follow. LeVan, our hostess, also had area restaurants and other literature available to help us plan our stay. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the flurry from the Food and Wine Festival going on in town during our stay. We will would definitely visit again. Thanks for the warm and wonderful stay!

What a nice spot for our long weekend. Great proximity to Main St. Loved being able to cut dahlias and enjoy them in the house. The host is an accomplished gardener with an amazing variety of lilies and other flowering plants. We found everything we needed there at the house. We will book again.

This was our second visit of more to come. We love Highlands and we love LeVan's home! The gardens and gazebo are stunning, the home is decorated beautifully and no air conditioning is necessary (although it's available if you were to insist). the location is peaceful but a very quick drive to town, and there is much for us to do with our girls who are now 3 and 8. We will be back, hopefully than longer than 5 nights next time...

My family had a wonderful stay in Highland's at this gorgeous home. The home and gardens are beautiful, its proximity to town is perfect, and LeVan is a fantastic hostess. We had no idea how much there is to do in and around Highlands before this visit - there are waterfalls, there's hiking, shopping, truly good restaurants, and the Bascom gallery is stunning. Also the weather was absolutely perfect. We are already planning on coming back again.

The neighborhood was great surrounding views for beautiful. Ample parking. Bedrooms for large and kitchen was well-stocked. Very cozy

A great escape in highlands seconds from downtown. Very well decorated, comfortable house that made you feel right at home. Highly recommend and plan on staying again.

Very nice apt in a great location. Beautifully decorated, kitchen well stocked, very comfy bed with nice bedding.

If you are looking for a place in Highlands, consider this one. Jan was very easy to work with & the personal touches in apartment were much appreciated. The place is private & just a short drive to Main Street in Highlands. It's a beautiful place & well-appointed!

This was my first Airbnb experience. We had a lot of questions and Anna was quick to respond and so welcoming. The house was exactly like the listing photos. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The location was perfect for our families activities. The only hiccup was a weak internet so streaming movies at night was difficult... but not enough to make any difference. When your at this location TV is not a big deal. We definitely want to stay here again.

Anna's home is so beautiful and welcoming! We were in town for a family function and it was so nice to come back to this lovely home!! It is quiet and oh so comfortable!!! Thank you!

The home is very peaceful and relaxing. As described it's very quiet on a cul-de-sac however within walking distance of town. It's pet friendly but very clean and you would not know there were pets their previously.

Excellent house! Everything we expected and then some. It's very clean, well arranged and well appointed. There are nice touches everywhere...Like a jar of delicious honey and organic tea! Loved the layout of the house. The deck with the grill were a lot of fun to use! Just don't worry if you come back to see the grill has moved from where you left it. It does that when there is strong wind! The fireplace was very pleasant and made the chilly evenings nice and cozy. When there is strong wind, it can blow ash from the fireplace. The location is excellent. Very nice quiet development but you can make a walk into town with minimal roadside walking. Overall, we are very happy with the stay! Anna was very helpful and always prompt to respond to our messages. Thank you Anna!

We had wonderful time in Highlands. The house was perfect. Close enough to town, but tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. The house had all the amenities and the real fireplace was added bonus! We will absolutely be back, thank you for the hospitality!

I just left a review for the one night that we stayed, but we had ended up extending our trip for three more nights! The house was absolutely perfect for us. Very close to town, but tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. The real fireplace was such a treat, we loved roasting s'mores! We will definitely be back.

After unsuccessfully trying to find a room at Old Edwards Inn or any of the other places in Highlands, I found Becky's place on AIRBNB. It was perfect! High end luxury with privacy and a very convenient location. 1st class all the way. So glad we found it!!

What a great spa like place to relax in between sightseeing in Highlands! Not really walkable but 4 minutes to town! You won't be disappointed.

We had a lovely stay at Becky's place in the Highlands. The room was lovely - comfortable bed, fireplace, heated floor in the bathrooms - perfect for our getaway. The house is a very short drive into town. Becky was extremely kind making sure we had everything we needed leading up to and during the visit. She thought of every detail ahead of time making our trip easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Becky's home is absolutely lovely. It is calming, spa-like, and has every amenity one could ever need. The bed is extremely comfortable, the furnishings are beautiful, and the house is equipped with special touches such as heated floors and an overhead fan in the bathroom, a gorgeous gas fireplace with remote, and soft throws on every chair - there is even a yoga mat and walking stick in the closet for your use! As a host, Becky is extraordinarily thoughtful, attentive, and caring and goes to great lengths to make your stay as relaxing and tailored to your needs as possible. This home is by far the best place I have ever stayed in the Highlands area - it is unparalleled in terms of price, luxury, location, comfort, and beauty.

We had a wonderful holiday weekend stay at Harvilla - our first stay there, but certainly not our last. I chose this place because of its proximity to town and because it felt similar to the fine hotel experiences we have come to enjoy in Highlands. I am pleased to say our stay surpassed any previous hotel stays. The owner was extremely responsive in helping us book, checking in with us to make sure we had no issues, and offering suggestions to activities I never knew existed in Highlands. Everything about the place felt unique and special - our favorites were the king bed and spacious quarters, the exquisite marble bathroom, and the outdoor landscaped patio. A couple of notes on the location I would like to share: First, this place is close to town but is quiet, which we loved getting away to. Second, the walk to town from Harvilla is best described as an active walk coming down the mountain, but it is completely safe with no threat from the Leonard Road traffic. It's a perfect day walk to go hang out in town, if you are dressed for dinner, best drive it! Thanks to my gracious hosts and we look forward to staying again soon.

The host did everything he told us he told. The location was great.

Great cabin, we loved our time there

You can't beat the location and convenience to the lovely downtown Highlands. Jason was an awesome and extremely accommodating host.

Great location, large space, super good water pressure!!! One amazing neighbor! Access to great hiking in 15 minutes or less! Once they do a little updating, this will be a five, for sure. If Internet and TV make or break your visit, double check with the owners that it is operational.

Good morning, This place is great... we picked the perfect time to go there, it was great weather, the house was relaxing for everyone and the surrounding nature compared to the city life we're used to was very enjoyable! We would definitely do this again! Thanks again to Jason for being a great host!!

Bear House is comfortable and conveniently located near the center of Highlands. Justin was immediately responsive to any questions we had. We absolutely love Highlands and plan to return soon. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the accommodations at Bear House.

We had an great time in Bear Cabin! The location was perfect, and it was well equipped. Justin's communications were timely and helpful so we had everything we needed to get in and be comfortable. The big screen TV was perfect to watch the NYE College Playoffs. We enjoyed a relaxing vacation in Bear Cabin.

bear house is just a wonderful place to stay when you go to highlands. it is like sleeping in a high end treehouse with greenery everywhere, katydids chirping at night, peace and quiet. we walked into town often- nothing is more than a mile away and earned all the delicious meals we had by going back up the steep hill at night! the house has very comfortable beds, a nice sound sysytem set up, DVD with lots of videos to choose from (we had a "casablanca" late night viewing that was very fun). the kitchen has everything you might need- we cooked up two quick dinners and a huge post wedding breakfast during our stay. all the food recs that host makes in his book are great. we enjoyed ziplining and hiked glen falls. we discovered a BBQ joint not even half a mile away (called...wait for it... "highlands BBQ company") that was just great southern BBQ and the perfect way to wrap up our stay. cannot recommend highlands and the bearhouse highly enough.

We had such a wonderful experience at Bear House Cottage. It was a surprise for my husband's birthday and I had a couple friends come up from Atlanta to meet us for the weekend. The house was exactly as advertised (and more!) Justin was so responsive and the check in/check out process was super easy. He's got a great system in place. The house sits in a Rhododendron forest atop a hill just outside the main town area of Highlands. There are shops, great restaurants, coffee, gas and groceries within a super short drive, or a slightly longer walk. It snowed right before we came which made everything about the location even more magical. We've stayed in quite a few Airbnb places and this was definitely one of the best as far as attention to detail that makes you feel welcome; from the bundle of wood and starter log for the fireplace to the selection of books, board games and digital entertainment to choose (URL HIDDEN) the hand written and illustrated instructions posted around the house. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to have a retreat in the mountains. Bonus: there's a ton to see and do nearby. Beautiful waterfalls and trails abound in the surrounding area within a few miles.

An amazing weekend! The cabin was an excellent get away and great location!

Property was charming yet full of up to date amenities. Spacious and a convenient short walk to town. Host provided area info including restaurant and detailed near by attractions which was most helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would gladly book this home again.

We loved this cottage. It was so nice, accommodating, and exceeded our expectations.

The host canceled this reservation 181 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had such a wonderful time. The view is phenomenal and the house is beautiful. This is very close to town and we could easily get to shops and restaurants. We loved spending time on the porch. Thank you. We would definitely go back.

Awesome! Just as we expected. Would defiantly stay in the house again, and reccomend it to anyone!

This was an amazing house in the perfect location, walking distance to Highlands! We loved the decorations, the huge comfy sofas.. and the view from the deck was outstanding! And with two king beds, we all slept quite comfortably.

We booked this home at the last minute and couldn't have been more pleased. Cozy home, fabulous deck with views and so convenient to the main strip and dining. It was very comfortable, well stocked and clean. We will definitely return!

This home is beautiful and spacious. Perfectly decorated, well appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Location is perfect; deep in the woods, yet 2 minutes from downtown Highlands. Kitchen was roomy and clean and full of dishes and utensils and new appliances. Back deck was huge with long views of the mountains and valley. Kristin was very helpful and easy to deal with. Great value. We will definitely stay here again soon.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and spacious with a lovely view. The kitchen was well supplied. We enjoyed playing cards. (That was a nice touch). Being able to walk into town was also a nice option, but be aware of steep roads.

Everything was as (URL HIDDEN) actually, better than described! From the minute we walked in the door we felt comfortable and at home! Two of our guests were from Denmark and they couldn't believe the location and the beautiful views ...Before we arrived we received a text from the housekeeper saying that everything was ready and that if we needed anything at all, she would respond asap. We have been on the other side of the rental process and know how much work goes into making a smooth and welcome process come true for our guests. Thank you Kristin!

Kristin was always available to answer questions by phone. Very helpful. Very thorough. Wonderful view from the deck and the living room. Great master bedroom. Quiet, secure neighborhood close to downtown and hiking trailheads are reasonably close as well. Kitchen is well-stocked and nicely laid out. Nice wood burning fireplace. Definitely a keeper for future stays in the Highland's area.
