Welcome to Nestledown –a peaceful retreat surrounded by native rhododendron nestled amongst the mountains of Highlands, NC. From the moment you enter the driveway you will be drawn to the quaint two bedroom, two bath cottage with a welcoming front porch.

The open floor plan to the great room encourages memorable times with family, friends or that special someone. Skylights allow the natural warmth of the North Carolina sunlight to fill the room. Comfortable furniture and aspacious eating area gives guests a home-away-from-home feeling. Timber accents add rustic charm to this mountain home. A stone fireplace provides additional warmth for those chilly evenings. Each bedroom features Queen beds with ensuite bathrooms and is accompanied by a flat screen TV and cable connections providing local, sports, music and movie channels.

The crisp clean mountain air can be enjoyed from the cozy front porch or stretch out on the expansive two-level deck overlooking the private wooded backyard. If you like a little background music to your natural setting, you can enjoy your CDs piped through a pair of outdoor speakers. An open front and side lawn are perfect for outdoor activities.

If you wish to pull yourself away from the tranquility of the cottage, you only have a few minutes drive to downtown Highlands to enjoy world-class dining and shopping. Alternatively, Cashiers affords similar high level entertainment and is nearly as close.

    Clean, comfortable and well appointed. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and made sure we had all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay in Highlands. Very much appreciated and plan to stay there again on our next visit to the mountains.

    This isn’t the first time we’ve rented this house and we keep coming back because it is one level with no scary stairs and it’s the perfect size for us. We have three small children - 2, 4, and 6 - and we love that the driveway is easy to access and the house is one story.

    We have rented all over Highlands while our new home was under construction. This was one of our favorite locations. The communication with the host was superb and we found the home to be exactly as described and extremely clean. We would highly recommend it.

    Excellent communication from host before trip & during our stay. Absolutely loved the property and the cottage. Pictures don’t do it justice. I felt like Snow White in her enchanted cottage in the forest. Clean, quiet, secluded, easy access to Highlands & Cashiers, equipped with everything we needed for our stay in each room and space. I would recommend this property and stay there again!

    We truly enjoyed our stay at Nestledown. We’ve been coming to the area for the last four years and this is our favorite. It’s quiet and well furnished. It’s also close to Cashiers, Highlands and Glenville Lake. The owners are very helpful and accommodating.

    The name Nestledown seems to refer to bird nests, for you’ll find bird and nest-themed curios everywhere you look. This is a relatively new house with rustic decor. You’ll appreciate the roominess, cleanliness, and attention to detail throughout. It’s better than the photos online show. This is not a “host-free” property. The host will want to speak to you by phone before you arrive and will text you frequently during your stay.

    My wife and I like to visit WNC at least a couple of times during the summer. This was a very nice visit and I would highly recommend it.

    As we were there for three days of wedding festivities, this home gave us the rest and relaxation at the end of each day! The atmosphere and decor was out of this world! Would definitely stay there again to be able to explore the surroundings!
