This newly available cottage is tucked away alongside a beautiful, crystal-clear creek, only 1.6 miles from the quaint downtown of Highlands. The Firefly has been lovingly filled with handpicked antiques, furnishings, art, and thoughtful touches that capture the area’s rich history and rugged charm, all with the convenience of fiber internet—a true rarity in Highlands! You’ll be a short drive to an incredible number of trails, waterfalls, fishing streams, overlooks and lakes with downtown just up the road for dining and shopping. When you’re not out and about soaking up the area’s natural wonders, curl up beside the firepit and watch the sunset dance on the water while you roast marshmallows or catch sight of the family of deer who pass through each day. Enjoy a glass of wine on one of the screened in porches that overlook the creek just a few steps away or hole up indoors with a puzzle or a board game. The Firefly is a truly special retreat no matter the time of year. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110150000/110143900/110143881/cdf7aca0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideaway Of Horse Cove Highlands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=110143881&PinnedHotelID=110143881&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31180000/31174500/31174486/f7a82d11.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Four Seasons Private Suite on Chestnut Ridge in Highlands - Private Club Access Highlands - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 73 reviews CA $400 CA $700 total includes taxes & fees Dec 8 - Dec 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-08&endDate=2025-12-09&selected=31174486&PinnedHotelID=31174486&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90250000/90249100/90249001/ce6c3ca0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### FLY LAKE- A Modern Mirror Lake Cottage Highlands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 40 reviews CA $400 CA $673 total includes taxes & fees Nov 28 - Nov 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=90249001&PinnedHotelID=90249001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48870000/48866200/48866126/06cc3c17.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Highlands-Designer Cottage-Amazing Outdoor Living Spaces-Fireplace-Pet Friendly Mirror Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 109 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=48866126&PinnedHotelID=48866126&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24040000/24039700/24039680/f219ac61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### In town, Quiet Cul de Sac (with Wi-Fi) Highlands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 197 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=24039680&PinnedHotelID=24039680&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118990000/118984300/118984296/3fae5af0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adventure Awaits at This Charming Farmhouse Retreat in Highlands, NC Highlands - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=118984296&PinnedHotelID=118984296&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77960000/77959700/77959661/fa8f14ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Highlands, NC - Cozy fireplace 3 min to posh Main Street, or majestic Dry Falls!

We were so happy to see the moccamaster coffee maker, we have the same one at home and love it. Glad we could spend another week at Firefly Cottage, thank you! ##### Rebecca D.

Just a bit further than where have VRBOd before - this is our favorite Highlands cottage. I could say after 20 years and staying with friends around Mirror Lake - don’t expect to go to restaurants and have cocktails after 5:00 and motor back - bring your own family favorites and grill or heat up in the oven. We especially loved sitting on the upper deck in the afternoon. Hint - my husband is an entomologist - amazing! ##### Lisa R.
