Perfect for families & pet \[If this listing (main house & studio apartment) is unavailable for your dates, you can check availability of just the main house (4 bedrooms) at www.vrbo.com/9385026ha.\] Escape to our stunning mountain retreat that effortlessly combines the tranquility of nature with modern luxuries. This extraordinary property features a charming mountain home and a separate studio apartment, offering an enchanting space for your vacation getaway. Nestled within the embrace of nature, you'll relish the sounds of Laurel Branch and its soothing waterfall from the expansive porches that provide a haven of privacy. The main house boasts an expansive layout with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, while the studio apartment is equipped with all the necessities for a comfortable stay. Inside the main house, you'll discover the essence of rustic elegance with four stone fireplaces that create cozy gathering spots. The gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with a six-burner gas range, is a culinary haven for those who love to cook. The main level features a master suite with a stone fireplace, ensuring evenings of warmth and comfort. The upper-level bedroom suite offers an airy loft that overlooks the living area, adding to the open and inviting atmosphere. On the lower level, a family room with yet another fireplace, a bunk room, and a master bedroom suite provide ample space for relaxation. And don't forget the Jacuzzi hot tub, offering the ultimate indulgence after a day of adventures. The thoughtfully designed floor plan isn't just practical; it's ideal for hosting gatherings and quality family time. Wrap-around decks, an outdoor stone fireplace, and a charming front porch invite you to savor outdoor living at its finest. For families, the property has a bunk room that comfortably accommodates six children (with a weight limit of 95 pounds). A wifi-free kids' lounge brims with entertainment options, including ping pong, foosball, mini pool, cornhole, magnetic darts, and board games. Smaller thrill-seekers can also enjoy a zip line adventure. The accommodations are versatile, featuring three owner's suites with king-size beds, a bunk room, a loft with a day bed, and the studio apartment with a king bed. The main house comfortably houses up to 6 adults and 6 kids (without using the day bed), while the garage apartment accommodates 3 guests. The daily rental rate covers up to eight adults and six children, with options for additional guests at an extra charge (billed separately). The studio garage apartment is a haven of serenity, boasting a private entrance, dedicated parking, and a secluded deck enveloped by trees. A recent renovation completed in March 2021 has elevated the space with upgrades including a king-size bed, new kitchen cabinets, appliances, countertops, fresh interior paint, new flooring, and a remodeled bathroom. Located between the charming towns of Highlands and Cashiers in North Carolina, this retreat offers convenient access to the best of both worlds. You can explore the amenities of both towns, embark on invigorating hikes at Whiteside Mountain, indulge in skiing at Sapphire Valley, and relish boating adventures on Glenville Lake. The vibrant Main Street of Highlands is a mere 4.4 miles away, ensuring you're never far from the heart of the action. Please note our pet-friendly policy, welcoming your furry companions to join in the fun. While we encourage pets to be part of your vacation, we kindly request that they be kept off beds and furniture. To maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for all guests, we provide guidelines for pet care and responsibility. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in additional cleaning fees. Embrace the allure of the mountains and the comforts of modern living at our picturesque retreat. Experience a mountain getaway like no other, where nature's beauty and contemporary amenities blend seamlessly to create cherished memories. The video shown on the Photos page is from the previous owner. We have renovated the kitchen and turned the office with the jacuzzi into a master suite, putting the jacuzzi outdoors. We also have completely different furnishing. \*\*\* Skyline Lodge is now open, putting a world-class steakhouse within walking distance! \*\*\* Pets: We are glad that we offer a home where you can bring your pets along. However, in the year we’ve been renting, we have had numerous problems. Therefore we have the following policies: Pets are not allowed on the beds or furniture. Clean up after your pet if they go in the yard, there is a poop scooper usually on the deck. We have a roll of green temporary fence on the corner of the front deck. If you like, this can be used to keep your pets on the deck. It attaches using the hooks on the rail and the house. We also have two child gates inside if you would like to keep your pet on the main floor where there is no carpet. It is imperative that you keep your dog(s) on a leash when outside. There are several (really nice) older people in our neighborhood who frequently walk their dogs without leashes, as well as guests in the main house with dogs sometimes. If your pet goes to the bathroom on the carpet, clean it up or we will charge for professional cleaning. Failure to follow these rules will result in a minimum $500 additional cleaning fee. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Wheelchair-accessible parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 5.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table - Golf - Snow sports gear - Table tennis - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Double-glazed windows - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Recycling - Unit size: 5,394 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90840000/90839400/90839325/cbc26469.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wylde Time: Walk to Harris Lake!

The only negative I have is their was clutter that should be hauled off organized or repaired. Game room was junky. Foos ball table was unplayable with men facing in wrong direction. Good response from owner - Had amazon drop off 5 dozen ping pong balls and a box of foos balls. ##### BOB D. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek H.

Any more couples and it would get tight. Cool rustic unique look. Plenty of play space for the kids. Well supplied with everything you need. The owner is accommodating and flexible. If I have anything negative to say it would be about the driveway access. It is narrow, steep and very curvy. But the owner can do nothing about that and as long as you take your time and no one is coming from the other direction you will be fine. All in all a very good place to hang out for a few days! ##### Derek H.

It was my wife and me, our four adult sons, two daughters-in-law, and seven grandkids from 7 months to 8 years old. We are from Gainesville, Jacksonville, Niceville, and Pensacola, Florida. Everything was wonderful. The kids loved the game room and zip line. We did many hikes to our favorite waterfalls and some new ones for us. The Highland fireworks were great. The house is beautifully decorated. The bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. The 5 oldest grandkids loved bunking together. Plenty of room for everyone to get together, yet still have some private space. The huge decks were our favorite place to hang out. Communicating with Marty and John was easy and effective. We will probably come back to this place. We love Highlands, and this house (and garage apartment for the two bachelor sons) accommodated our family perfectly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Anne L. Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home and perfect location The six of us (all adult friends) loved the home and the location. Everyone had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and deck spaces. We felt that the kitchen could have been a little better equipped, but we made do. We would have liked more wine glasses and some pasta bowls. Everyone thought that housekeeping should have done a better job considering the amount guests pay for housekeeping ($375). The bath mats didn’t seem clean. Also, a lot of the outdoor furniture was not clean. Chairs were dirty, tables and other surfaces dirty, and there appeared to be some type of little animal droppings next to the fireplace. It would have been really gross if we had been with our little grandsons because they find a way to get into everything and animal droppings are just plain unacceptable. If those few things were corrected, we would give the house and owner an easy 5 stars. It is a beautiful home and it felt like we were in a treehouse! ##### Ruth Anne L.

Tons of great porches surrounding the house with amazing views. Home was very clean with nice large bathrooms, closets and all the beds were very comfortable, which is often hard to find in rentals. The beautiful kitchen was very well stocked with everything I needed to prepare a brunch for my son’s wedding day. The extra bedroom apartment area above the garage was absolutely perfect for our friends to stay in with us, yet allowing them to still have their own private space. This home is in a nice quiet private location, yet very close to town and the extra directions to the home that are provided were very helpful! We will definitely be returning to this amazing home next time we are in the area:)) Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and for making everything so simple to check in and out! ##### Kristen M.

The host welcomed us with a bottle of wine and answered any questions within minutes. He also provided a list of activities and places to eat before our arrival. We enjoyed hiking the mountain trails which were all about 10 minutes away, eating in the local eateries, & participating in the local events. We were all very comfortable with our own rooms and baths. That was beautiful and clean. The host also provided board games for my children and adults that was well suited for all with large TV, couch and checker board table. There is also an additional game room with air hockey, ping pong and other activities we enjoyed. The adults could also gather inside on the main floor living room. We used the large outside deck to relax around the fireplace & to eat at the large dining table. We also were able to enjoy our own private decks that overlooked the mountains where we could hear the creek below. The host also provided a clear and easy instruction for check out. This was definitely a great home to stay for our family. It was easy, absolutely beautiful, most definitely relaxing and very private. We all left better than when we arrived. ##### sharman r.

We needed a big space for family of 13\. Our ages ranged from 69 to 18 months and this house was perfect! Secluded and beautiful with multiple levels and outside porches. The house was beautiful and well equipped! Plus pet friendly which was important to us. The kiddos loved the Zip line and playroom. And there was room for us to all gather at night and play games, as well as enough room to spread out for privacy. We made the best memories and even had a photographer come out to take family pictures- the area and landscaping was beautiful! Highly recommend- you won’t be disappointed ##### Lisa R.

Fantastic location, close to town and only very short drives to some wonderful hiking spots. Pet friendly. The owner was very helpful in answering questions. Great setup with basically 3 master suites- one on each floor. We rented the house based on it having a covered outdoor fireplace that we loved! We also rented it for having a hot tub. The hot was not working. We reached out to the owner and he said it was supposed to have been repaired , but seemingly no effort was made to have anyone come back out for repairs during our stay. This was a big disappointment as we are big hikers and had looked forward to soaking in tit after our hikes. ##### Laura D. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie S. Feb 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well thought out vacation home I could not say enough good things about this rental. The owners have thought of everything, the instructions for the home and how to care for it were well laid out. Any concerns that may have been were addressed in the welcome letter. The owner was easy to reach and had quite the wealth of information about the area. If you’re considering this property, IT IS WORTH IT! The only thing I will note, is that the loft is not in a separate space, it is actually a landing outside of the top floor master. It didn’t affect our stay but we misunderstood and one of the couples had a less private sleeping area. (Our error) - there were plenty of paper products and linens. This house is well maintained and was more than ready for a group of 10 adults to enjoy. We will very likely stay here again! Thanks Marty! ##### Natalie S. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Magen G. Dec 18, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### A little misled This was a nice house in a nice location near the Highlands. Our family had a great time spending time together. The reason I gave this trip a 3 star was because I felt misled. The thing that was most upsetting was that the hot tub was broken. It didn't even have water in it like it had been used recently. The hot tub was the main reason we got the cabin because we have two kids that would have been able to enjoy it. When we asked Marty about he said it was supposed to be fixed the day before and he was sorry. Then I read the past reviews and other people had this issue as well. We paid a lot of $$ for this cabin for it not to have the features we expected. That is the main reason why this was upsetting. Over all the house was clean but it seemed like the sheets hadn't been changed. Also, if you are planning on using the tennis courts don't because they aren't the courts from the pictures. The courts near the property are dilapidated. I truly hate not being able to leave a good review but i felt a little taken advantage of. ##### Magen G.

Oct 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint Studio Apartment Absolutely loved this studio apartment. It's tucked away, quiet, and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. Just a short drive or walk to the Skyline Lodge which has great food/drinks. Also a short drive to Main Street where you can shop all things local. The check in/out process was easy and the host was readily available. Will definitely be saving this listing for future vacations. ##### Allison W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren G.

The house is stunning - with beautiful balconies and porches all around to enjoy the fresh mountain scenery. It's also very close to everything we needed yet tucked away for a tranquil stay. ##### Lauren G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and Perfect This property perfectly suited our wants and needs. It is convenient to tons of outdoor activities and the beautiful town of Highlands; all of which we enjoyed. The house was great. but as the weather was exceptional, we spent most of our time on the large outdoor covered porch. There we grilled, ate, and enjoyed each other's company before a cheery fire. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
