    This cottage was absolutely perfect for our girls' trip. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The cottage was so cozy, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and amazingly well stocked. The outdoor deck is perfect for relaxing (or doing morning yoga). The location is idyllic - but still a short drive to downtown Highlands and to lots of great hiking. Our host was wonderful. We enjoyed great communication, with thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this lovely home and hope to return in the future.

    My family and I had such a relaxing stay at this cozy cottage! It was the perfect location and only a few miles from downtown Highlands. It was CLEAN and each space was decorated in such a charming way! The kitchen was also very well stocked with everything we would need as far as pots, pans and utensils. Each bed was so comfortable too! We are looking forward to visiting Highlands again and staying in this sweet cottage!

    Great stay for a wedding we went to at Flat Mountain Farm. So close, great property. Hurrican Helene hit and the owners were extremely flexible with our checkout process given the extenuating circumstances. Thank you!

    Sweet cottage in a tranquil setting. Clean and cozy. Mattresses were awesome. Only suggestion would be some shaded seating on the deck since it’s full sun most of the day.

    Our family loves to leave Florida and head for the mountains Thanksgiving week. We were close to a lot of beautiful hiking locations. The house was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped for Thanksgiving dinner. The house was very cozy and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The house is decorated like an English cottage, which made it extra special. We highly recommend this house.

    This is a lovely cottage and perfect for our family. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the deck for drinking our morning coffee and then for relaxing in the sun after our afternoon hikes. The property has a pretty pond and soothing waterfall. It is a great location and close to town. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

    I booked this for my parents anniversary and they fell in love with Highlands and Chelsey cottage. They couldn't stop talking about it. I will be booking it again in the future!
