The Highlands Buck House, Newly Renovated Gorgeous In Town w/ Private Pond

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

Welcome to The Highlands Buck House. We have gone to great lengths to ensure an unforgettable stay. We have been vacationing in Highlands for years and finally decided to get our own place with comfortable beds and modern decor! Our home was extensively renovated in 2018 with the help of a nationally known interior designer. The home has 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths. There are 3 living areas as well as a daybed loft. brbrWe are located in the upscale Bowery Road neighborhood which is one of Highlands best kept secrets, just past the Mountain Fresh grocery (less than 2 miles). The neighborhood has a land trust with an extensive trail system with several gorgeous ponds. One of the trail-heads is just behind our property. Even better, the neighborhood is on level ground and accessible year round.brbrOur home sits on two nearly flat acres of hardwoods and hemlocks. We have a gorgeous fire-pit patio with ample Adirondack seating, a picnic table in the woods, and beautiful paths throughout the property. At the very back of our property, deep in the woods, sits a marvelous pond with inviting bridges and a bench nearby to sit and enjoy the scenery. The landscaping is lush and the setting is extremely quiet and private. brbrThe home has three bedrooms and four full bathrooms. On the main level is the Master complete with a custom walnut 4 post King bed (literally made for a King or Queen!) and a flat screen television. There is also a beautiful private full bath finished in silver travertine. The more than one million year old petrified sink will surely be a conversation piece. There is plenty of closet space in the Master and throughout the home. There is an additional full bath on the main level accessible from the living space. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms. The Queen room has a beautiful reclaimed queen sized bed and a full bathroom with a large shower. The other bedroom contains a bunk bed complete with ship lights and an adorable cubby! The lower bunk is a full sized bed while the upper one is a twin. There is also a pack n' play in the closet if needed. The bunk room also has a private full bath complete with a custom stone wall in the shower. Between the two upstairs bedrooms is a loft space open to the living room. In the loft space there is a day bed with a comfortable twin mattress and a twin trundle underneath. There is also a desk in case you need to work or just write down your thoughts as you unwind in heaven on earth! All of the beds are high quality. The linens are extraordinary.brbrThe living space is extensive. There are essentially three living areas. The primary living room has a gas fireplace and a 65 flat screen tv with Netflix streaming. Then there is a connected Den. This room is more of a reading room, but also incredibly comfortable and inviting. There are plenty of movies and books to chose from while you relax and take in the view through the wall of windows. Finally, there is an equally wonderful screened porch with ample seating and plenty of light. This room brings the outside in and connects the main home to the deck where you'll find a stainless steel gas grill, another patio table, and plenty of seating for an outdoor gathering.brbrThe kitchen is large and contains essentially anything and everything to prepare meals during your stay. All of the cookware is high quality and there is a large pantry to store any food. There is also a large laundry room in the rear of the home featuring a brand new high quality washer and dryer, along with an iron and ironing board. The house is stocked with toiletries, paper products, detergent, spices, coffee and tea and more. brbrThe front porch is large and has several places to sit and take in the beauty of the landscape, including a cozy porch swing. There is ample parking on the driveway (please note that we do not include the garage in the rental. The front yard is flat and has a round driveway perfect for kids with bicycles, scooters and skateboards. The house is easily accessible in the snow as the roads and driveway are all flat.brbrThe Highlands Buck House is loaded with character. All of the art is custom and unique. The floors, furniture and accents have been selected with an eye toward the indigenous Highlands reclaimed look. In a nutshell the home is absolutely perfect. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.brbrPlease note that we do have a strict no pets policy and that the maximum number of guests including children is 8. During Thanksgiving and Christmas we require one week rentals. Also, as noted elsewhere in the listing... we do not have live TV. We provide Netflix streaming and both TVs have numerous other apps that you can log into for streaming. Please do not hesitate to email us with any questions at all.

1935 Called. It Wants You to Stay a While | Laurelwood

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

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.brbrThis home has exterior cameras for security purposes.brbrThere are mountain cottages, and then there are mountain cottages that have been loved by the same family for generations — where the wormy chestnut walls have absorbed decades of good summers, the stone fireplaces have warmed countless winter weekends, and the screened porch has watched more Highlands sunsets than anyone has bothered to count.brbrLaurelwood is the second kind.brbrBuilt in 1935 and perched above Highlands Country Club on Hudson Road, this original cottage wears its history beautifully — chunky stonework framing the grounds, schoolhouse windows letting the light in just so, farmhouse kitchen cabinets worn smooth in the right places, and three stone fireplaces distributed through the house like punctuation. It is unapologetically old Highlands. And in a world of renovated-to-within-an-inch-of-their-life vacation rentals, that is increasingly rare and quietly wonderful.brbrA House With Rooms That Have Personality - Four bedrooms across two levels, each with its own distinct character — because this house was furnished by people who actually cared, not a staging company working from a mood board. The main level hosts three bedrooms and two bathrooms alongside a kitchen that smells like butcher block and hardwood floors and every good meal anyone has ever cooked here. Upstairs, the king suite with its ensuite bath and wood-burning fireplace operates as a private retreat within the retreat — the room that whoever claims it first will not be giving up without a negotiation.brbrThe Screened Porch is the Reason - The owners will tell you themselves: the big screened porch is where Laurelwood earns its place in your memory. Mountain views. Fabulous sunsets. Mature trees and shrubs creating a privacy that feels earned rather than manufactured. Whether it's morning coffee, a long al fresco lunch, or an evening watching the light change over the ridgeline, this porch has a way of making time feel more generous than it actually is.brbrOut front, a patio with a gas grill, firepit, and classic iron patio set handles the evenings when the screened porch gives way to open sky and the fire needs to be a little closer. Both outdoor spaces reflect the same unhurried sensibility that defines the entire property.brbrThe Details That Matter - Three stone fireplaces. Wormy chestnut paneling throughout. Schoolhouse windows. Mature grounds with old stonework that took decades to look this good. A newly added EV charging station for guests — free of charge, because of course a house this thoughtful includes that too. Plenty of parking. Easily accessible. Five to seven minutes from downtown Highlands when the outside world eventually calls.brbrThe owners believe you'll fall in love with Laurelwood.brbrThey're right.brbrWhat our guests are saying...brbrHighlands Getaway. We rented this house with another couple, and between us we have 3 children under 2. The house was perfect! The house had plenty of space, a beautiful fireplace and a wonderful screened in porch. The location is second to none. A short 5 minute drive to town makes the house an ideal location for anyone who wants to spend time in Highlands.
