    Wonderful Highlands Home
    My wife and I greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay at "The Hermitage Cottage", which is actually a large home on the outskirts of Highlands, NC. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and is very spacious with a California King size bed in the master bedroom, (very comfortable) as well as several other large beds, and two bunk beds for kids. The kitchen has the most modern appliances, and is well stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, etc. It's just a 10 minute drive from downtown Highlands, so it's very convenient for stores, shops, and restaurants. It's located part-way up a small mountain side, but access is easy with all paved roads. They are a bit narrow and steep, but you quickly get used to the drive. The home has a garage where you can pull a vehicle in and close the garage door at night. That makes loading and unloading luggage and other items easy and convenient. The scenery around the home is beautiful, with mountain views looking out the back, and a forested road looking out the front. We took day trips around the area for shopping, meals out, and photography, and had a great time. I would highly recommend this rental home to anyone who enjoys the mountains and color of North Carolina!

    Beautiful Setting for Autumn
    Exactly as advertised. Well-designed, solidly built, warm house that easily accommodated 6 adults in a beautiful area of North Carolina. Weather was a bit chilly to sit out on the perfect screened porch with long-range views, so we moved our cocktails to the fire pit and soaked in the fall color.

    Great Location
    This is a lovely home. Comfortable beds and a wonderful view of the mountains. The house is about 5 minutes from Main Street or 20 from Cashiers. The only negative is the AC isn't central air. They have free-standing units in every room. They work well, but are very loud.

    A great view and location
    We enjoyed the home immensely and the property management company (especially Holly at Galax Rentals - thank you). It’s a great setting with with well appointed bedrooms, kitchen, living room and porch. Use of the garage also makes it easy to turn around even large SUVs in case the other front parking space is in use by guests.

    Great view in a Peaceful, Perfect Location Minutes from Downtown Highlands
    My family and I love Highlands but typically stay in neighboring areas for the better views. This property had it all. It was bright and well decorated with plenty of room to spread out. We had everything we needed. The towels were abundant, thick, and luxurious. The beds were super comfortable. Perfect for resting from long days of hiking and sightseeing. The kitchen had great non stick pots, a waffle maker, and all the cooking and baking tools you could need. As an added bonus, it was well stocked with condiments, herbs and spices. And the view was so beautiful, especially in the morning at sunrise. Best of all, it took only 6 minutes to get to Main Street Highlands for great dining and shopping. This is the only place I want to stay when I come back to Highlands.
