Highlands, North Carolina
Get away from it all at this glorious private mountain estate known as Big Billy Cabin! This historic and updated Joe Webb log cabin is set on 24 wooded acres, with over 1,300 feet bordering Big Creek and Pinky Falls. The pet-friendly retreat, surrounded by old-growth Hemlocks, is 3 miles to Downtown Highlands.

This magnificent antique home was built by the famous log cabin builder, Joe Webb, between 1929-1931. The homeowners moved the cabin to its current location in 2006 when it was updated and a large addition was added by the equally-renowned log cabin builder, Tommy Chambers.

IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS - This is a great place for kids. However, the property is not child-proofed and may not be suitable for very young children.
Parents will need to provide their own supplies for kids (i.e. high chairs, pack and plays, cribs, etc.) and safety equipment that they feel is necessary (i.e. child-proof locks, safety gates, etc.). At this time we do not offer any related items for infants or toddlers.
DRIVEWAY- Big Billy Cabin is located off a main road up a hard-packed gravel driveway approximately 1/3 mile long. There is a short, steeper portion of the driveway, but is still accessible for cars without front or all wheel drive. The driveway is well maintained and there has never been a problem with cars getting to the house. In inclement weather however the driveway may become rutted and bouncy in spots. Please let us know if this is the case, and we will send someone to grade it out.

What a beautiful property for our Thanksgiving getaway. We had plenty of space for each of our children and their children to sleep and play. Our kitchen was well equipped for our many meals and especially our Thanksgiving meal. We loved gathering around the many fireplaces with a gracious supply of split wood. We hiked and played outdoor games on the beautiful property. We had the incredible support of our personal concierge Stephen,who was available 24/7. Such a memorable time at Big Billy Cabin! Thank you!
Best property we have ever rented. Property manager excellent and home is impeccably clean and supplied. So much room to sit and enjoy
What a beautiful property. Nestled deep in the woods, the Big Billy cabin is a work of art. The architecture and craftsmanship is detailed and so unique. The house is appointed with such lovely furnishings and artwork. Each bedroom is layered in soft linens and has a story. We loved the use of local art and collections throughout. Honestly not a corner that has not been curated. We opted to entertain at the house and found the kitchen and pantry to be well provisioned and easy to cook in. The outdoor porch and 7 fireplaces were used every minute we were there. Thank heavens the wood was well stocked! Stephen was lovely getting us checked in and made it all very easy. The cabin was the perfect spot for our family to gather and celebrate my mom. Thank you so much for sharing your home! It is a special place. Look forward to visiting again. We plan to put Big Billy's Cabin on repeat.
We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was beautifully maintained and well equipped to meet our needs. Katherine was a sweetheart; property manager, Stephen, was responsive and easy to communicate with. Lovely cabin in a beautiful setting and minutes to town.
This property was absolutely amazing. The historic Joe Webb cabin was crafted with the most detailed architecture. Our family enjoyed staying there and making memories in the great room and on the back porch. The basement is filled with light and endless entertainment. You can not beat the location as it is just minutes from Highland. We loved our stay here and look forward to returning!
Our family of six absolutely LOVED our recent stay in this luxurious cabin. The cabin is very spacious, clean, cozy, private and well equipped with amenities. The owner has provided everything you could need. We felt so welcome. Just sitting on one of the grand porches and listening to the creek and wildlife was worth the entire stay. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Local shopping in Highlands is only 10 minutes away. We are so appreciative that we were given the opportunity to enjoy this amazing home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Beautiful cabin in the woods.
This was our second stay and we had a great time. The cabin is beautiful and the property is amazing. The proximity to Highlands can't be beat either.
Wonderful trip! The cabin fully accommodated our group of all ages. We did not get to enjoy the grounds too well due to unexpected snow but it did not hinder our stay at all. Truly a gem we would love to visit again!
Rented this for family Christmas with 13 family members and it was perfect size wise and location. Great game room for family fun and perfect for adult relaxation. We will rent it again!
We rent this home every year and it never disappoints. We love the house and the location. It sits privately on over 20 acres but you are less than 10 minutes to Highlands. Plus the house itself is just a unique property. Love it!
This is a beautiful, rustic cabin in a great location and proximity to Highlands.
We absolutely loved our time at this cabin. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious family getaway.
only 2 downfalls , no view of the mountains from house and the creek is not really easy to get to / no view of it from house by any means. but overall great authentic cabin . We had a great time
We all enjoyed immensely our time on this incredible property. Everything was clean and there was absolutely not a single appliance or pan that was not there at our fingertips! That was amazing! Thank you for your eye for every detail. The stickers on all the light switches were an lifesaver!! Loved the notes, they were sweet and informative! My one observation is the denim sofa covers are in desperate need of a bath in the washer. Thank you Just so you know a couple light bulbs in the living room and den are out. In case the cleaning crew don’t catch it. All in all I hope I get to rent this beautiful property again on day Thank you!!
This huge cabin in the woods left nothing to be desired. This amazing, well-equipped and beautifully decorated place is set in the woods with a delightful creek and waterfall in which the family had so much fun playing .A perfect family getaway! We all want to go back there!
Our family loves Joe Webbs log cabin an Highlands North Carolina. It is a beautiful cabin with beautiful surroundings. We have a family of 16 and love staying at this cabin. We have stayed here several years and look forward to going back again next year!
