Two Master Suites. Three Screened Porches. Seven Minutes From Downtown.brbrThis is the kind of home that takes a minute to fully absorb.brbrNot because it's complicated — the layout is actually intuitive and easy to move through — but because every time you think you've found the best view in the house, you go up a level and find a better one. The main-level screened porch looks out over Blue Valley in a way that stops conversations mid-sentence. The upper master suite balcony takes that same view and elevates it — literally — into something that stretches for miles in every direction and may be the single best seat in the entire property.brbrFive bedrooms across three levels. Two private master suites, each with its own ensuite, office, closets, and balcony. Three screened porches. A gas grill. A ping pong table. A two-car garage. Step-free laundry. And seven minutes of easy road between you and downtown Highlands.brbrThis is the one you book when the whole group is coming and you refuse to compromise.brbrThe Main Level Sets the Tone - Vaulted ceilings, paneled walls, beautiful hardwood floors, and a gorgeous stone fireplace anchoring a bright, open living area — the main floor makes a strong first impression and holds it throughout. The kitchen, living, and dining spaces flow together in the open-plan way that makes group living feel effortless rather than crowded. French doors open directly onto the main-level screened porch, where Blue Valley fills the frame and the gas grill is ready for whoever calls dinner duty. A full bath and a dedicated office complete the practical side of the floor, and the step-free laundry room — genuinely accessible, genuinely large — means longer stays require nothing but a slightly lighter suitcase.brbrThe main-level master suite earns its title: king bed, private ensuite, walk-in closets, and a private balcony for mornings that deserve to start quietly, just the two of you and the mountain air.brbrUpstairs, the Views Get Serious - Three bedrooms on the upper level give the rest of the group comfortable, well-appointed space — two queen guest rooms and a second full master suite that rivals the one downstairs in every way that matters. Private ensuite. Dedicated office. Closets. And a balcony with what guests consistently describe as the best view in the house — expansive, sweeping Blue Valley scenery that stretches further than you expect and never gets ordinary. Both couples get a master suite. Nobody negotiates. Everyone wins.brbrThe Lower Level Earns Its Keep - The den on the lower level provides a natural second gathering space — quieter, more relaxed, perfect for movie nights or the members of the group who need a break from the main floor energy without leaving the house entirely. A fifth bedroom with twin beds handles the youngest travelers or overflow guests, a full bath serves the level, and the third screened porch — furnished with comfortable seating and a ping pong table — gives the downstairs its own outdoor identity. Three screened porches across three levels means someone always has somewhere comfortable to be outside, regardless of weather, regardless of mood.brbrSeven Minutes From Everything Worth Doing - Downtown Highlands at 2.3 miles means acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking trails, art galleries, live performances, and the Old Edwards Inn and Spa are all within easy reach. Highlands rewards every season — mild summers perfect for porch living, fall color that earns the drive from anywhere, winters that make the fireside moments feel essential. Come whenever the calendar opens up.brbrThe Blue Valley views will be exactly where you left them.brbrSpecial Amenities:brbrScreened In PorchbrWood Burning Fireplacebr2 Office SpacesbrPing Pong TablebrMountain ViewsbrPrivate BalconybrPrivate tennis court on the grounds (at the entrance to the HOA) that can be used by guestsbrbrPLEASE NOTE: The fireplace in the lower level is not operable.brbrThis home is professionally managed by Rent in Highlands, a division of Country Club Properties.

This Rent In Highlands vacation rental home has a strict NO PET policy. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a $1000.00 fine.brbrOnly adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.brbrSTARLINK INTERNET - This house has business grade internet and is an excellent option if you need to work while staying here.brbrVaulted Pine Ceilings. Brazilian Cherry Floors. A Stone Fireplace That Means Business.brbrCustom-built homes have a way of announcing themselves — not loudly, but in the details that reveal someone actually cared about every decision. The massive stone wood-burning fireplace with its custom wood mantle. The wormy maple cabinets in a kitchen finished with granite and Brazilian Cherry floors. The exposed beam pine ceilings that make the great room feel like it was assembled by someone who understood exactly what a mountain home should feel like from the inside.brbrThis is that home. Nestled on over an acre in the Hidden Springs neighborhood of Highlands, 3.8 miles from Main Street, private enough to genuinely decompress and convenient enough to make town a non-event whenever the group is ready. Five bedrooms across three levels, a game room, a hot tub, a fire pit in the yard, and a screened porch with a gas grill — this is the mountain getaway that checks every box without feeling like it was assembled from a checklist.brbrA Great Room That Sets the Standard - The main level announces the quality of the whole house immediately. Vaulted pine ceilings with exposed beams stretch overhead, Brazilian Cherry floors run underfoot, and the stone fireplace — massive, wood-burning, anchored by a custom mantle — commands the room with the kind of presence that makes every evening feel like an occasion. The open kitchen flows naturally into the dining nook and great room, finished with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom wormy maple cabinetry that provides more storage than most vacation rentals attempt. A king bedroom with a private ensuite completes the main floor for whoever prefers single-level living.brbrThree Levels, Five Bedrooms, Everyone Accommodated - Upstairs, two queen bedrooms share a well-positioned bathroom — comfortable, private, and removed enough from the main floor activity to offer genuine rest. A twin bedroom with its own ensuite adds flexibility for younger travelers or solo guests who appreciate their own space.brbrThe lower level is where the trip shifts into a higher gear. A game room anchored by a ping-pong table, an oversized sectional sofa, and a large flat-screen TV becomes the unofficial headquarters for rainy afternoons and late nights that outlast everyone's better judgment. A king bedroom with an ensuite and a bunk room with two sets of bunk beds — also with its own ensuite — give the lower level enough sleeping capacity to function as a self-contained wing for part of the group. Direct deck access from the hallway puts the hot tub and fire pit within easy reach from this level, which means the kids and teenagers effectively have their own outdoor space without competing for the screened porch upstairs.brbrOutside: Screened Porch, Hot Tub, Fire Pit — The Full Rotation The screened porch off the main living area handles the social hours — cozy seating, a gas grill, and the particular mountain stillness that a screened porch delivers when the trees are close and the air is cool. The covered lower deck takes the evening in a different direction: a hot tub positioned for maximum relaxation after a long hike, additional seating for whoever needs the quieter outdoor space, and private access from the lower king bedroom for mornings that deserve to begin outside.brbrWhen the night calls for something more elemental, the fire pit in the yard pulls everyone together — the lower deck connects directly to it, which means the transition from hot tub to fire pit is approximately twelve steps and entirely worth making.brbrHidden Springs, Highlands, Everything in Between - The Hidden Springs neighborhood offers the privacy of acreage and trees without the remoteness of being genuinely far from town. Main Street Highlands is 3.8 miles — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking trails, and everything else that makes Highlands worth the drive from wherever you're coming from. Come for a long weekend. Book a full week. With a game room, a hot tub, a fire pit, and five bedrooms spread across three thoughtfully designed levels, leaving the property requires actual motivation.brbrThe stone fireplace will be here when you get back.brbrWhat our guests are saying...brbrThe perfect getaway house for a big group. We had 13 people in our group and this house was perfect for us! Great size with large rooms. The main area is spacious and a great gathering spot. Everything was set up so nice and clean! We loved the porch and the fire pit out back. I highly recommend and plan on coming back again! - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, HannahbrbrSpecial Amenities:brbrGas GrillbrIndoor Wood Burning FireplacebrFirepitbrUncovered Deck, Covered Deck & Screened PorchbrHot Tub (serviced twice per month)brGeneratorbrStarlink Business Grade InternetbrbrThis home is professionally managed by Rent in Highlands, a division of Country Club Properties.

This Rent In Highlands vacation rental home is pet friendly for one small dog, under 20 pounds. Pets must be pre-approved. An additional non-refundable pet fee is required and is not included in the rental fee. Please call our office for approval and to pay the pet fee. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a $1000.00 fine.brbrOnly adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.brbrFair warning: after a few days here, ordinary vacation rentals are going to feel like a letdown.brbrThis is not an ordinary vacation rental.brbrA 23-foot vaulted great room with a stone wood-burning fireplace. Original fine art on the walls. Period antiques that actually belong. A wormy Chestnut kitchen island. A library stocked with books and games. A wraparound covered porch with two dining tables, a wood-burning stone fireplace, a porch swing, and a private hot tub under the open sky. Mirror Lake a short stroll down the road, where the Canadian Geese and Mallards have long since decided this neighborhood belongs to them.brbrThis is the kind of lodge that makes you wonder why you ever stayed anywhere else — and start planning the return trip before you've unpacked.brbrA Great Room That Commands Attention The moment you step inside, the architecture makes its case. Twenty-three feet of vaulted ceiling overhead, gleaming hardwood floors underfoot, a massive stone wood-burning fireplace filling the wall in front of you. The great room here isn't a feature — it's a statement about what this entire property values: space, warmth, and the kind of refined comfort that doesn't require explaining. Fine original art and carefully chosen antiques give the room a soul that no amount of interior design budget alone can manufacture. It simply took time and taste to get here.brbrThe fully equipped kitchen anchors one end of the main level with the same quiet confidence — a wormy Chestnut island that's as beautiful as it is functional, and a layout that makes cooking for a crowd feel less like a production and more like part of the evening.brbrTwo King Suites. Neither One a Compromise. The main-level king primary suite offers a walk-in closet, a walk-in shower, and a jetted soaking tub — the kind of bathroom that changes how you feel about mornings. Upstairs, the second king primary suite matches it stride for stride with its own walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and a soaking tub built for two. A third bedroom with a queen bed completes the upper level for additional guests. Three bedrooms, three distinct experiences, and enough bathroom luxury distributed across the house that no one feels like they drew the short straw.brbrThe Library, the Porch Swing, the Hot Tub The handsome library — stocked with books, games, and the kind of atmosphere that makes an afternoon disappear — is the room that surprises people. It's easy to walk past and then find yourself still there two hours later. But the wraparound covered porch is where this property truly distinguishes itself. A porch swing at the front for slow mornings. Two dining tables and new patio furniture for meals that stretch long into the evening. A wood-burning stone fireplace for when the mountain air turns cool. And a private hot tub positioned for maximum star visibility — because a soak under a clear Highlands sky is the kind of experience that doesn't translate in photos but stays with you for years.brbrJust off the kitchen, a screened-in porch adds another layer of outdoor living — comfortable seating, tranquil views, and a seamless connection back to the wraparound porch so the whole outdoor circuit flows without interruption.brbrMirror Lake, Minutes Away Stroll down to Mirror Lake and let the morning find its own pace. The resident Canadian Geese and Mallards are reliably charming, the landscape surrounding the lake is quietly stunning, and the walk back to the lodge — knowing what's waiting on that porch — is one of the better short walks you'll take all trip.brbrDowntown Highlands is minutes away. The restaurants, the shops, the waterfalls, the trails — all within easy reach. But between the library, the porch, the two fireplaces, and that hot tub, you may find the outside world requires less attention than you expected.brbrCome for the mountains. Stay for the lodge. Leave already negotiating dates for next year.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrLaughing Bear Lodge is the perfect home away from home. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. The living area s perfect for a family gathering. It’s a quiet neighborhood with beauty all around. The home is ideally located close to shopping in the quaint town of the Highlands, national park trails and restaurants. - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Katherine W.brbrRent In Highlands Vacation Rental Cancellation PolicybrbrPolicy (A) for reservations less than 20 days:brA reservation canceled between 0-45 days prior to arrival is not eligible to receive a refund.

The Location: Boathouse Lane is perfectly situated in the corridor between Highlands and Cashiers. It’s in a gated community on the serene backdrop of Lake Ravenel . It’s just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy but close enough that dinner/shopping on Main Street is quick jaunt away. The Property: Boathouse Lane is privately located on a large lakefront lot with no other homes on the street. The neighborhood takes attention to detail seriously and has meticulously captured the natural beauty of the areas while blending in charming high-end homes. The driveway is flat and not the least bit intimidating with only one step to the main door. There is a small grass yard for frolicking and beautiful landscaping that is indigenous to the area.The Cabin: Boathouse Lane has all brand new high end finishes, including wood walls, wood ceilings, a soaring stone hearth fireplace inside and another wood burning fireplace outside, a spacious outdoor screened porch, and oversized King suites with ensuite bathrooms to match. The Layout: From the front door, guests enter into an open foyer that leads into the large dining area for 10. The kitchen is to the right and looks onto the large gathering room with two different living spaces and a sliding door that leads to an oversized screen porch with wood-burning fireplace. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor, a King master suite with an impressively large his and hers ensuite bathroom featuring his and hers toilets and vanities, a double-soded shower, and a large soaking tub. Another King bedroom with ensuite bath can also be found on the main floor and it has a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Up the stairs to another landing nook with more intimate seating leading to an additional oversized King master suite with his and hers ensuite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, seamless shower, and double vanities. On the other side of the seating area, there is a small hallway leading to a bunkroom with 2 Twin beds and an ensuite bathroom featuring a small shower and vanity. Oh, and we won’t spoil the secret but there are some fun secret hiding places for the kids built throughout the house. The Area: Highlands is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it’s quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it’s one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world. Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.

The Wildwood Mountain community sits in that rare geographic pocket between Highlands and Cashiers where the quiet feels intentional and the light through the trees changes the mood of the whole day. By the time you reach the wraparound deck and the newly added covered entertaining area with its wood-burning fireplace and rocking chairs, the unwinding has already begun.brbrThis is a home that understands what a mountain retreat is actually supposed to do — and delivers it without asking you to compromise on comfort, space, or any of the details that make the difference between a good trip and the one you're already planning to repeat.brbrLight, Open, and Engineered for Ease - Single-level living means nobody navigates stairs in the dark, nobody feels separated from the group, and the open layout does what open layouts are supposed to do — keeps everyone connected without crowding anyone out. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the large living room with the wooded hillside and changing sky, vaulted ceilings give the space room to breathe, and the stone gas fireplace anchors it all with the warmth that makes staying in feel like the obvious choice on cool mountain evenings.brbrThe fully equipped kitchen with its gas cooktop and breakfast island flows naturally into the dining and living areas — the kind of layout that makes family meals feel effortless and keeps the cook part of the conversation rather than exiled behind a wall. Everything connects. Nothing interrupts.brbrThree Bedrooms, Maximum Privacy - The layout here is quietly clever. Two primary suites sit on opposite ends of the house — one with a king bed, one with two queens — giving two families or two couples genuine separation without sacrificing the shared spaces that make a group trip worth taking. A third queen bedroom fills the middle ground, perfect for friends rounding out the group who want comfort without the primary suite designation. Three bedrooms, three distinct experiences, and enough thoughtful distance between them that everyone sleeps well and wakes up happy.brbrThe Deck is Where the Trip Lives - The wraparound deck alone would be enough — space for outdoor dining, mountain air, the wooded hillside in every direction. But the newly added covered entertaining area takes things further: a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable rockers, and a sheltered space that extends the outdoor season well into the cooler months and keeps the group outside long after dinner is finished and the fire is the only light left.brbrMorning coffee in the rockers. Afternoon meals at the outdoor dining table. Evening fires that stretch longer than planned because nobody wants to be the first one to go inside. That's the rhythm this deck invites, and it's a good one.brbrBetween Two of the Best Mountain Towns in the South - Wildwood Mountain sits squarely between Highlands and Cashiers — two destinations in one trip, with waterfalls, hiking trails, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and the Old Edwards Inn and Spa accessible from either direction. Come when the rhododendrons are blooming. Come when the fall color peaks. Come when the fireplace outside is the best possible reason to sit still.brbrThere's no bad time. There's just your time, and when you want it.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrWildwood Mountain Cottage was perfect for our family. Having everything on one level was great for our elderly parents who no longer navigate stairs very well. The outdoor fireplace is such a wonderful addition and we can't wait to come back in the fall - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Brenda C.brbrSpecial Amenities:brbrWrap-around PorchbrIndoor Gas Fire PlacebrCovered deck with woodburning fireplacebrbrOnly adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.brbrThis home is professionally managed by Rent in Highlands, a division of Country Club Properties.
