Where the Mountains Feel Like Home | Bear Hug

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

This Rent In Highlands vacation rental home is pet friendly for one small dog, 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.brbrIncredible Outdoor Living Space with Fireplace.brbrThere's a reason this place is called Bear Hug. From the moment you arrive, it wraps around you — the kind of mountain home that feels instantly familiar, effortlessly comfortable, and genuinely hard to leave. Tucked into a peaceful community just minutes from the heart of Highlands, it offers the rare combination of true seclusion and easy access to everything that makes this corner of the mountains so beloved.brbrRoom for Everyone - Three floors, four bedrooms, and a layout that actually thinks about how people travel together. Two full primary suites with private en suite baths mean no negotiating over who gets the good bathroom — both couples, both families, everyone wins. The remaining bedrooms tuck in comfortably across the other levels, giving the whole group breathing room without anyone feeling like an afterthought.brbrSpaces Worth Staying In - The main family room sets the tone — vaulted ceilings that open the space up, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors it. It's the kind of room that makes you want to stay in rather than go out. Downstairs, the game room makes a strong case for the same: pool table, wet bar, big screen — equal parts playroom and grown-up lounge. Then there's the screened porch, arguably the home's crown jewel, with its own wood-burning fireplace and a front-row view of the surrounding woods. Morning coffee, afternoon rain showers, post-dinner drinks — it works for all of it. When the night is clear and the stars are out, the firepit beckons.brbrThe Details - A circle driveway, parking court, and carport make arrival easy and ensure plenty of room for the whole group. A fenced backyard means the dog doesn't have to stay home — just request pre-approval ahead of your trip.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrExcellent spot for a long weekend getaway. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown Highlands with a lot of privacy. Large bedrooms, amenities and outdoor fire pit make this house a great place for family and friends. - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Ross 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.

Delightful Walk to Town Cottage in the Harris Lake Area | Cardinal Cottage

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

This Rent In Highlands vacation rental home has a strict NO PET policy.brbrOnly adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.brbrWalk to Town. Feed the Ducks. Come Back and Do Nothing.brbrLess than a mile from Main Street Highlands, Cardinal Cottage sits in that rare sweet spot that every vacation rental promises and almost none deliver — genuinely walkable to town, genuinely peaceful when you get back. The route there takes you past Harris Lake, where the ducks are friendly, the fishing is easy, and the pace of things starts to slow down before you've even arrived.brbrThis is a cottage that understands what a vacation is supposed to feel like.brbrA Home That Gets the Details Right - The recently renovated kitchen — outfitted with brand-new appliances and a bright dining area that spills out to the deck — is the kind of space that makes cooking on vacation feel less like a chore and more like part of the experience. The open living room with its cozy fireplace and flat-screen TV is where evenings tend to land, especially when the mountain air turns cool and nobody wants to move. A brand-new washer and dryer tucked neatly into a hallway cabinet means longer stays are fully supported — pack light, stay longer.brbrThree Bedrooms, Three Very Different Vibes - The king primary suite is the kind of room you design a slow morning around — generous enough for a convertible loveseat and a flat-screen, finished with a beautifully updated ensuite, and quiet enough that late risers won't feel rushed. The queen guest room across the hall is comfortable and well-appointed, with a full bath just steps away. Downstairs, a third bedroom with a twin bed offers flexibility for the group's youngest traveler, alongside a playroom and den with a sofa that converts to a queen — the unofficial headquarters for movie nights, rainy afternoons, and kids who have discovered the DVD player.brbrTwo Decks. One Hammock. Zero Obligations. The outdoor situation at Cardinal Cottage is quietly exceptional. Off the main level dining area, a sunny open deck with rocking chairs, a propane grill, and a second dining table handles everything from morning coffee to cookout dinners. Below it, a newly built deck spans the full length of the home — half covered for all-weather use — outfitted with chaise lounges and a hammock that will absolutely ruin your productivity in the best possible way. Between the two levels of outdoor space, there's always somewhere comfortable to be, whatever the weather, whatever the mood.brbrHighlands, Right Outside Your Door - Stroll past Harris Lake — toss some bread to the ducks, maybe cast a line — and within minutes you're on Main Street with acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, and trailheads all within easy reach. Come back whenever you're ready. The hammock will be exactly where you left it.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrCozy Christmas in Highlands. We had a wonderful family Christmas stay at Cardinal Cottage. Loved the open floor plan, the view from the deck, and roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. The location was excellent - a nice walk to Harris Lake and even Main Street, otherwise, a 3 minute drive. Beds were comfortable and Wi-Fi worked like a charm. Can't wait to stay again! - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, SandrabrbrSpecial Amenities:brbrWood Burning FireplacebrbrThis home is professionally managed by Rent in Highlands, a division of Country Club Properties.

Three Generations Built This House. Now It's Yours For the Week | The Bird Coop

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

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.brbrThree Generations Built This House. Now It's Yours For the Week.brbrIn 1940, a family built a house in the Highlands mountains. They loved it enough to keep it. Loved it enough to add on as the family grew. Loved it enough to pass it down, and then pass it down again, until the third generation inherited both the property and the responsibility of honoring what it had always been — a place where a big, sprawling family could all be together under one roof.brbrThat's what this house is. And no amount of renovation changes the feeling that comes with walking through the door of a home that has been genuinely, continuously loved for over eighty years.brbrThe updates are real — modernized, comfortable, and thoughtfully done — but the 1940s bones are still here: in the proportions of the rooms, in the character that only time produces, in the particular way this house feels lived-in rather than staged. Six bedrooms. Six bathrooms. A game room. A second kitchen downstairs. Five smart TVs. A fire pit for s'mores and a gas grill for everything else.brbrIt grew with one family for three generations. It's ready for yours.brbrA Layout Built for Crowds Three levels give everyone room to find their own corner without losing the feeling of being together. The main level anchors the house with two ensuite bedrooms — one king, one queen — that give the adults in the group genuine privacy and comfort without climbing a single stair. Downstairs, the lower level functions as a nearly self-contained wing: a mini eat-in kitchen for independence, a new game room for the inevitable tournament that breaks out by night two, a queen bedroom, and a full bath. It's the level that teenagers and young adults quietly claim as their own, which keeps the main floor considerably more peaceful.brbrUpstairs, the upper level handles the rest of the group with room to spare. A very large bedroom with four twin beds — perfect for the kids, who will love the dedicated space that feels like their own — comes with an ensuite and dressing area. A king bedroom and a queen bedroom with two additional bathrooms round out the floor, giving the upper level enough variety to accommodate however the group happens to be configured.brbrEvery bedroom has its own TV. Five smart TVs across the house. Nobody negotiates the remote.brbrOutside: Two Fires, One Grill, Zero Complaints The open porch off the living area handles the social side of outdoor living — seating arranged around a fire pit table, a patio dining set for al fresco meals, and a gas grill ready for whoever volunteers to cook. When the evening calls for something more elemental, the wood fire pit pulls everyone together for s'mores, stories, and the kind of unhurried night that only happens around an open fire under a mountain sky.brbrTwo outdoor fires in one property. It turns out that's exactly the right number.brbrThe Location Downtown Highlands — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking trails, and eighty-plus years of people making memories in these mountains — is just minutes away. But with six bedrooms, a game room, a second kitchen, and two fire pits, this house has a way of becoming the destination rather than the base.brbrThree generations of one family figured that out a long time ago. You'll understand why by the end of day one.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrExcellent Property. This is a fantastic property for a group of adults or a group with kids. Very close to highlands. Every bed room has an attached bathroom which is a huge plus. We really enjoyed our stay. - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Kate U.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.
