This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath rental is at one with all the beautiful foliage that Highlands has to offer. With vaulted ceilings, airy décor, and a big, beautiful bank of windows, its common areas are flooded with morning light and a stunning view of mother nature. Also, enjoy our canoe on Mirror Lake. The Location: Vale Cottage is located within the Highlands, NC town limits on Dog Mountain. It's just far enough from the beaten path that guests are one with nature but only 2 miles to Main Street and the center of Highlands shopping, dining, and nightlife. The Property: Vale Cottage is a carriage house that is located on a 2+ acre wooded property. Sitting at roughly 50 feet from the main house, Vale Cottage has a privacy wall and is elevated so guests can relax in the solitude of their own cozy space. The Cabin: Vale Cottage is newly renovated in 2017 and has all wood ceilings, rustic wood beams, soaring 15' ceilings, and tons of natural light in the common areas. It has a screened porch that overlooks the beautiful wooded yards. Guests enjoy custom cabinetry in the kitchen, reclaimed vanities in the baths, and a NC slate walk-through shower. The Layout: Access to Vale Cottage is through the cozy screened porch with rocking chairs for two. Guests enter into the large open common area that houses the kitchen with island seating for two, dining table for 4, and the cozy living room. To the right off the common areas are doors that lead to both queen bedrooms. The bathrooms are accessible from both bedrooms and share a shower, while each having their own vanity and toilet area. The Area: Highlands, NC is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it's quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it's one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world. Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop. The Details: The living room and both bedrooms have flat screen TV's with cable and wifi. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. All of our cabins are pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee. Vale Cottage is a carriage house, meaning it is over a garage for the main house. Renters have full privacy.

We rented the Vale Cottage for a week in August with our two doodles. We felt at home the moment we walked in. The high ceilings and abundance of natural light were very appealing. The King bed was very comfortable and the linens were great. Had the pleasure of meeting the owners/property manager Kristy, Bill & Fay who were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this property without reservation. ##### Edward S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry G.

Aug 5, 2021 #### Wonderful Location - Wonderful Property Just what we were looking for during out last minute trip to Highlands. It feels like you are in the mountains but you are only 2 miles from downtown. The living space is perfect. It's a 2 bedroom (beds are very comfortable) there are 2 half baths and one very cool shower (tile floor to ceiling and it's really a shower room). Decorations are perfect, couch very comfortable, kitchen with more than we needed but could host a dinner (we did cook in 3 times and needed nothing that wasn't already there for our use). Bill and Faye were wonderful. Our dog had plenty of walking places, she loved her time maybe more than we did, and Bill and Faye were very nice to her. This is a place that we will return to actually as soon as we can get away. Highly recommend for anyone that wants the best of both worlds at a reasonable price. ##### Neely & Jennings L.

Nov 30, 2022 #### Great Getaway for Friends and Family My mom and I stayed three nights in Vale Cottage. The property is beautiful and very comfortable. The mountain top location has great views. We even saw wild turkeys while we were there. The location is minutes from everything in Highlands, but in a calm and quiet spot. The dual bathroom with a Jack and Jill shower was perfect for anybody who wants to share a cabin, because each room has its own toilet and shower access. Would definitely stay again! ##### Matthew T.

Oct 25, 2022 #### Cozy Mountain Cottage My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Vale Cottage for our wedding anniversary. It is a very comfortable two bedroom apartment above the garage on a beautiful mountain property with great views of the trees and mountain range off in the distance. The finishes, supplies and amenities are top notch making for a relaxing getaway with everything you need to feel like home. It is also only a 10 minute drive to Highlands and 25 mins to Cashiers, making it a great base camp for daily excursions. Kristy's communication was thorough and check-in and out was easy. Would highly recommend staying at Vale Cottage! ##### Billy D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### WILLIAM v.
