Hiking Trails Located Nearby: Highlands Botanical Gardens: 265 N 6th St, Highlands, NC 28741 (9 minute Drive) Whiteside Mountain: Parking lot, 91-170 Deville Dr, Highlands, NC 28741 (12 minute drive) Bartram Trail:2266 State Rd 1678, Highlands, NC 28741 (21 minute drive) Largest Body of water @ Lake Sequoyah Lake Sequoyah, Highlands, NC 28741 (7-9 minute drive) Sunset Mountain Fly-Fishing Nearby: - Cullasaja River: The Cullasaja runs between Highlands and Franklin on highway 64 west. It is a beautiful and scenic river full of waterfalls, deep pools, and slow glassy runs. The river is stocked with Brook, Brown, and Rainbow trout, but Browns and Rainbows seem to be the majority of the stream born population. The area between Turtle Pond Bridge (approximately 5 miles from Highlands) and Gold Mine Bridge (approximately 8 miles from Highlands) offers numerous pull-offs with easy access to the river. -Tuckaseegee River: The Tuckaseegee or “Tuck” is the largest river in the Highlands-Cashiers area. This is a dam controlled river with power generation dams located on the east and west forks of the river upstream of the “delayed harvest” section. From October 1st until June1st, the 6-mile section from Western Carolina University to Highway 441 in Dillsboro is super stocked with large hatchery fish. During this period the regulations are catch and release only. During early Spring, 30 to 40 fish days are not unusual. From June 1st to October 1st normal general trout water regulations prevail allowing anglers to keep seven fish any size and quantities of fish decline rather quickly. Use caution as water levels may change at any time. For flow schedules, call Nantahala Power Company-Tuckaseegee Flow: (866) 332-5253. From Highlands, take Highway 64 west toward Franklin 18 miles. Turn right on 441 north to bridge over Tuckaseegee at Dillsboro. Take 1st right past bridge on River Road Waterfalls Nearby: Bridal Veil Falls: *MOST POPULAR AND UNUSUAL FALLS IN THE SOUTH Bridal Veil Falls, Highlands Rd, Highlands, NC 28741 ( 10 minute drive) Dry Falls: 8.7 mile stretch of the river that eventually ends with Cullasaja Falls. Dry Falls flows over an overhanging bluff which allows visitors to walk under the falls and remain relatively dry when the waterflow is low, hence its name. *Visitors will get wet if the waterflow is high! Drive 3.25 miles on US 64 West to the parking area on left. A pleasant walk down stone steps leads to a path that goes behind the waterfall. Here the Cullasaja River projects over a cliff, allowing one to walk behind the falls without getting wet, hence the name. There is a $3.00 per car charge for parking. Whitewater Falls: Discover the East’s King of Waterfalls. Watch it cascade over massive rock pillars and drop 411 feet to the river below. Use extreme caution near the top of the falls. It’s worth the 23.4 miles drive from Highlands via HWY 64 East to the crossroads in Cashiers, then turn right onto HWY 107 South. Signage will direct you to the falls from HWY 107. (~35 minute drive) It’s just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy, but close enough that family and friends can experience shopping, the symphony, cultural museums, and fine dining. Shopping: Park and Walk is an unheralded benefit of life in a little town with a vibrant downtown Main Street. If your concept of healthy living leans toward retail therapy, Downtown Highlands is just the tonic. Parking and additional retailers can easily be found on Spring Street, Fourth Street and Carolina Way and you’ll earn a few extra steps too!Museums:The Bascom Center for the visual arts: Welcome to The Bascom: a six-building, six-acre campus in Highlands, NC. Special features include an 87-foot-long covered bridge entrance; a 2,500 square-foot barn rebuilt for use as the ceramic studio; and a central three-story, 27,500-square-foot Main Building. In addition to the buildings and art offerings, visitors can enjoy the Horst Winkler Nature and Sculpture Trail with native flora, a pristine brook with cascading waterfall, and scenic views. 323 Franklin Road Highlands, NC 28741 PAC Performing Arts Center Highlands, NC: The PAC, as it is frequently called, continues to broaden its audience demographics to include all age groups and socio-economic ranges.

Large home with Mountain Views & 20 min from town

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

Easy 20 minute drive to the wonderful resort towns of Cashiers (to the east) or Highlands (to the west), but still a deep woods location at the end of a road with fantastic views of the mountains across the valley. Very private and rustic with only one neighbor in sight. Our backyard borders the Nantahala National Forest, and a 20-minute path leads to the Chattooga River and Chattooga River Trail with beautiful river access, picnic areas, swimming holes and endless hiking. This area is rated 'wild and scenic' by the forest service - a rare honor!brbrKids love this place as we have built a special 'kids cave' inside - cozy and kid-size to get away from the adults - they have their own secret spot! Outside are play areas, swings, fort and hammock - and of course most important of all - the woods! Trails run through the woods, and the day will fly by while they explore. All the outside features are close enough so parents can enjoy their time on the upstairs screened porch and still keep an eye on the children.brbrBuilt in 2003, this passive-solar design brings the sun in during winter, so is naturally warm then, but shades the windows with overhangs and tree cover in summer so we stay cool! It also includes air conditioning and ceiling fans, a toasty see-thru gas fireplace on the main floor, and electric heat in each bedroom.brbrThe open floor plan designed especially for family reunions. We have four full bathrooms, seven bedrooms (two with king size beds, four with queen size, and one with two twins), plus large loft (with two trundle beds) . . . this place can hold a LOT of people! Other rooms include family room, dining room, breakfast nook, and screened, covered patio and exterior deck with charcoal grill. Six BRs share adjoining baths. The mail-level BR has a queen and is designed for limited mobility persons with a bath nearby and low-threshold shower stall.brbrFor mealtime, there is a 12-14 person dining room table, plus large circular table for 4 - 6, plus seating for 6 at the kitchen bar-top.brbrIncludes large center-island kitchen with gas range, microwave, blender, and two coffee makers (including Keurig). Also a large laundry room with washer and dryer.brbrOur Dad built this for our own family and go there often when its not rented. It is stocked with many books & games (and usually staples and condiments in the pantry). Also have a smart TV with satellite cable and WiFi.
