Highlands NC Mountain Lodge • Hot Tub • Game Room • Waterfall • Sleeps 14

Under three hours from Atlanta, Lotts of Sky is the mountain getaway families remember long after the vacation ends. Tucked between Highlands and Cashiers on a private wooded mountainside, the home is surrounded by forest and filled with the soothing sounds of Big Creek and its nearby waterfall.

Designed for multi-generational vacations, Lotts of Sky offers three king suites for the adults, a Kids' Camp Room and Kids' Clubhouse for the younger guests, four stone fireplaces, a hot tub beneath the trees, wraparound porches, and a chef's kitchen built for memorable family meals. Whether you're hiking Whiteside Mountain, browsing the shops of Highlands, enjoying dinner at nearby Oak Steakhouse, or roasting marshmallows around the outdoor fireplace, every day ends the same way—together.

Skyline Lodge and Oak Steakhouse are just a seven-minute walk from the front porch, while downtown Highlands is only ten minutes away.

A Place Where Kids Unplug and Families Reconnect

We purchased Lotts of Sky six years ago because it felt different from every other mountain home we visited. It wasn't just beautiful—it was designed for families to be together without ever feeling crowded. Since then, we've continued to make thoughtful improvements to create the kind of mountain getaway we'd want for our own family.

The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home comfortably sleeps six adults and six children, with a layout that gives everyone room to relax while naturally bringing everyone together. Mornings begin with coffee on the porch and the sounds of Big Creek drifting through the trees. Evenings end around the outdoor fireplace, soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars, or sharing stories beside one of the three indoor stone fireplaces.

At the heart of the home is a gourmet chef's kitchen featuring a six-burner gas range, generous prep space, and everything needed for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday feasts. Whether you're cooking after a day on the trails or preparing Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family, the kitchen becomes part of the experience.

Kids usually claim the entire lower level as their own. The Kids' Camp Room sleeps six children (95-pound weight limit per bunk), while the Kids' Clubhouse features ping pong, foosball, mini billiards, cornhole, and board games. Outside, the backyard zip line and surrounding woods keep the adventures going long after the hiking boots come off.

Guests often tell us they love how peaceful and secluded the property feels while still being close to everything. You can spend the morning hiking to waterfalls, the afternoon shopping or dining in Highlands, and be back in time to watch the sunset from the porch without ever feeling rushed.
