Exactly As Described
We stayed two nights and enjoyed every moment. It was close to downtown Highlands ( as well as Cashiers and other points of interest). The home was clean and well maintained. The backyard light bulbs were not working, but we had flashlights so we could take our pups outside. We would definitely stay here again (and we were not bothered by restaurant or road noise).

Good location and amenities
Bedrooms very comfortable, plenty of storage space, excellently appointed kitchen. The photos of the upstairs bedroom do not do it justice! It was beautiful! There is no dining area other than stools at the kitchen bar. The location is 5 minutes drive from town and 10 min to hiking trails.

Convenient Stay!
We had a great stay here with 3 adults and 2 children (ages 3 and 5). The location was great...very close to town. Just know that it is on a MAIN road. Very, very close to the road. It might be better to stay here with adults or older children just because I was nervous about my kids getting out without me knowing and possibly getting into that road. So great, convenient place. Just know you are truly right on a main road with lots of traffic. Also, very easy, convenient check in and check out!

Stay at Highlands NC Cottage
Our ratings are mixed. Depending on what you are looking for this could be very good or not so good. Location’s proximity to downtown Highlands & Veranda Restaurant are great. Cottage was clean and cozy place for 2 people. TV’s were limited on traditional channel options and not a lot of guidance provided on how to operate the the TV’s. You just need to be ok with a Location that is right on a heavily traveled road creating a lot of road noise all day and night making it a challenge to sleep at certain times, and Restaurant workers around 11:30pm to midnight could be quite loud in the parking lot. As for a pet, not a lot of space to walk your pet. Just need to know that ahead of time.
