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.brbrThere's a version of a Highlands vacation where the car barely moves — where dinner reservations are kept on foot, morning coffee comes from a short stroll down the block, and the best shopping in the North Carolina mountains is genuinely within walking distance of the front door. The Wilson Cottage makes that version of the trip effortlessly possible.brbrNestled in the heart of downtown Highlands, this bright, beautifully appointed three-bedroom cottage sits just a short walk from Main Street — close enough to be genuinely walkable to everything, quiet enough to feel like a private retreat the moment you step inside. It's the location that every Highlands rental claims and almost none actually deliver.brbrThis one delivers.brbrA Home That Feels Like One - Hardwood floors, large windows that fill the living room with natural light, a gas log fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and character — the Wilson Cottage has the particular quality of a home that was put together by people who actually thought about what it feels like to walk through the door after a day of hiking or shopping and just exhale. The kitchen reinforces it: granite countertops, modern appliances, generous cabinet space, and a layout designed for real cooking rather than vacation-grade meal prep.brbrThree Bedrooms, Thoughtfully Arranged - All three bedrooms sit on the same level — no stairs, no separation, no one feeling disconnected from the group. The king primary suite anchors the sleeping arrangements with a beautifully tiled stand-alone shower, double vanity ensuite that handles the morning routine with quiet efficiency. A second king bedroom down the hall makes this cottage an exceptional option for two couples traveling together — both get a king bed, both get genuine comfort, nobody draws a short straw. The third bedroom with two twin beds and a hall bath rounds out the sleeping arrangements for a younger traveler or additional guest who needs their own space.brbrThe Deck for Everything Else - A spacious partially covered deck handles the outdoor living with equal ease — comfortable seating for the whole group, a grill ready for cookouts, and enough shelter to keep the party going regardless of what the mountain weather decides to do. Evenings out here, with downtown Highlands a short walk in any direction and no car required for the rest of the night, are exactly what a mountain vacation should feel like.brbrMain Street, Steps Away - Acclaimed restaurants. Boutique shops. The Highlands Playhouse. The Old Edwards Inn and Spa. Harris Lake. Mountain Fresh Market. Every great thing Highlands offers is a short, flat walk from the Wilson Cottage's front door — which means more time enjoying the town and less time managing logistics. Come back when you're ready. The fireplace and the deck will be waiting.brbrWhat our guests are saying...brbrWilson Cottage is a treasure!!! It’s so warm and cozy, the kitchen is well equipped and beds very comfortable!

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.brbrThe first clue is the gate. A big gator, unmistakable, setting the tone before you've even parked the car. The people who built this lodge are passionate Florida Gator fans, and they weren't shy about it — you'll find touches of orange and blue woven throughout the house with the kind of commitment that's either deeply relatable or deeply amusing, depending on your allegiances. Either way, it makes the place impossible to forget.brbrBut here's what else makes it impossible to forget: the stone fireplace. The exposed wooden beams. The picture windows full of mountain. The covered deck with its own wood-burning fireplace and outdoor kitchen. The rope bridge to the kids' lookout tower. The little rock climbing wall just below it. The panoramic views that apparently reminded the original owners of Montevideo, Uruguay — a comparison that sounds dramatic until you're standing on that deck with your morning coffee and the pines stretching out in every direction, and suddenly it makes complete sense.brbrThis is not a generic mountain lodge. This is a place with a personality, a story, and twelve beds to fill.brbrInside: The Lodge Makes Its Case Immediately Exposed wooden beams overhead. Large picture windows framing mountain vistas on multiple sides. Plush sofas arranged around a grand stone fireplace that anchors the open-concept living area like it was always meant to be there. The fully equipped kitchen — granite countertops, modern appliances, the kind of setup that makes cooking for twelve feel manageable rather than chaotic — flows naturally into the living space so nobody misses the conversation while dinner is happening. Every bedroom is thoughtfully designed for genuine rest after the kind of full mountain days this property invites.brbrSleeps twelve. Comfortably. Without anyone drawing the short straw.brbrThe Deck is the Destination - The expansive covered deck is where Montevideo truly distinguishes itself from every other mountain rental in the area. A wood-burning fireplace. An outdoor cooking area. Panoramic mountain views that work equally well at sunrise and sunset and every hour in between. This is the deck where mornings start slowly, where barbecue dinners stretch well past dark, where someone always ends up with a blanket and a drink long after everyone else has gone to bed. It is, without question, the best seat in the house — and it's outside.brbrThe Kids Already Own the Backyard - Here's the thing about traveling with children: they need somewhere to go. Montevideo solves this beautifully. A rope bridge leads to their very own lookout tower — the kind of feature that guarantees thirty minutes of uninterrupted adult conversation the moment they discover it. Just below, a rock climbing wall gives aspiring adventurers somewhere to direct their energy. The outdoor fireplace rounds out the backyard with evening marshmallow roasting and the kind of storytelling that only happens around an open fire. The kids will talk about this property for years. So will the adults.brbrThree Miles From Town, Miles From Ordinary - Downtown Highlands is just three miles away — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, and trails all within easy reach. In the warmer months, hiking and swimming holes fill the days effortlessly. Come winter, snow tubing, sledding, skiing, and snowboarding are a short drive away, and the ice-skating rink at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park runs November through March — a genuine surprise for guests who didn't know Highlands did winter this well.brbrThree miles to everything. Surrounded by nothing but pines and mountain air. A gator on the gate and a lookout tower in the backyard.brbrBook it before someone else does.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrWe spent most of our time on the porch and really enjoyed making a fire while watching the amazing sunsets. It has an amazing view of the mountain range. - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, SeatonbrbrRent 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.

BA Mountain Retreat You’ll Think About Long After You Leave./BbrbrSome places are easy to enjoy. Others quietly stay with you. This lovingly maintained log cabin falls into the second category—where mornings are slower, evenings feel earned, and time in the mountains starts to feel the way it’s supposed to.brbrPicture waking to filtered sunlight and birdsong, stepping onto the private balcony off the primary suite with a hot cup of coffee, and realizing there’s nowhere you need to be. Later, after a full day outside, a crackling fire and a nightcap by one of three wood-burning fireplaces becomes the kind of moment that’s hard to replicate anywhere else.brbrFollow the property’s winding paths—down the Troll Trail or along Fairy Lane—to a dedicated outdoor gathering space with a large fire pit. Venture farther and you’ll find a nature trail leading to a hidden, 18-foot waterfall and a natural swimming area that feels like a discovery, not an attraction. It’s the kind of place guests often talk about quietly, knowing how rare it is.brbrBPrivacy That’s Hard to Find—and Easy to Appreciate./BbrbrSet on 4.5 acres and bordering National Forest Service land, the cabin offers a level of privacy that’s becoming harder to come by in the mountains. Trees, wildlife, hummingbirds, and clean mountain air surround the home, creating a sense of separation that guests tend to notice immediately—and miss once they leave.brbrInside, the space has been thoughtfully updated and comfortably furnished, with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a sleeper sofa in the living room. Each sleeping area is designed for real rest, featuring luxury mattresses, high-thread-count linens, and Dohm sound conditioners. Many guests comment on how well they sleep here—and how quickly they settle in.brbrMeals tend to linger on the spacious verandah, where the teak dining table invites you to stay a little longer and listen to the sounds of nature. In winter, the fully enclosed porch becomes a favorite spot—cozy, quiet, and surrounded by forest views. The main living area is ideal for reading, puzzles, or unwinding with a movie after the day winds down.brbrBShared Moments—and Space to Do Your Own Thing./BBRBRbrbrThe cabin balances togetherness and breathing room. Guests of all ages enjoy the brand-new, full-size four-player arcade with over 4,500 classic games, often turning “just one game” into an hour of laughter. There’s also a professional folding ping-pong table and a wide selection of board games that naturally bring people together in the evenings.brbrFor those who like to keep moving, the garage gym includes a REP Fitness rack, dumbbells, resistance bands, and jump ropes—perfect for staying consistent without leaving the property.brbrChildren especially love putting on plays using the mountain-carved theater seating or making s’mores by the fire. With 2,100 square feet of living space, everyone can find their own quiet nook while still feeling connected.BRBRbrbrBPerfectly Positioned for Exploring—or Not Leaving at All./BbrbrWhen you’re ready to venture out, you’re close to gem mining, waterfalls, and some of the region’s most highly rated hiking trails. Downtown Highlands, known for its excellent dining and charming shops, is just 11 miles away (about 20 minutes, or longer for those new to winding mountain roads), located along North Carolina’s Scenic Waterfall Byway—famous for the hundreds of waterfalls throughout the area. Downtown Franklin is only 13 minutes away.brbrAnd yet, many guests find themselves choosing to stay in, realizing the cabin itself has become the highlight.brbrModern Comforts, Thoughtfully Included.brbrWi-Fi is provided via SpaceX Starlink. Cell service is strong for AT&T and Verizon; T-Mobile can be limited.brbrAdditional amenities include:brbr↟ New whole-house heating and air conditioningbrbr↟ Weber gas grill (propane and tools provided)brbr↟ Two-car detached garagebrbr↟ Tesla EV charger with COMPLIMENTARY charging (J1772 adapter not provided for non-Tesla vehicles)brbr↟ Amazon Alexa with unlimited musicbrbr↟ Fully stocked kitchenbrbr↟ YouTube TV for live news and sportsbrbr↟ Washer and dryerbrbr↟ Sleeper sofabrbr↟ A large collection of books, games, and puzzlesbrbr↟ TWO Arcades for endless fun!brbrPlease Note:brBGuests must be at least 25 years old to rent. Bachelor/bachelorette, fraternity, or sorority parties are not permitted. This is a family home, and we appreciate guests who will care for it as such./B

The professionals caring for these properties must meet the highest hospitality standards. Additionally, properties in this collection must pass specific quality, safety, and cleanliness inspections. Only locally owned and/or operated vacation rental brands are invited to be considered for this stamp of approval, which is issued by a trusted peer-to-peer collective of leading industry owners and managers.brbrGorgeous Contemporary Home with Spectacular Views of Whiteside MountainbrbrThere's a moment — usually within the first five minutes of arriving — when someone in your group stops mid-sentence, walks to the window, and just stares. Whiteside Mountain filling the frame. A waterfall catching the light. A stream threading quietly through the side yard below. It happens every time.brbrPerched on a high ridge inside the private Highland Falls Country Club, this home was designed around that view — and everything else was built to match.brbrMade for People Who Appreciate the Details - The kitchen alone earns the trip. Wolf appliances, granite countertops, skylights overhead, and enough space to cook seriously or just look like you are. A natural wood dining table seats twelve, which means the whole group eats together — no overflow table, no one stuck in the corner. When the weather cooperates, take it outside to the expansive stone patio where the grill is waiting and the mountain air makes everything taste better.brbrThree gas fireplaces distributed thoughtfully across the home mean there's always a warm room to find your way back to, no matter the season.brbrSleep Like You Mean It - The main-level primary suite is its own destination — a gas fireplace, a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a private screened porch just off the ensuite where the mountain views greet you before you've said a word to anyone. It's the kind of morning routine that's very difficult to give up at checkout.brbrUpstairs, a graceful curved staircase leads to two additional ensuite bedrooms, each with sweeping views and enough privacy that guests feel like they have their own wing of the house. On the lower level, a fourth bedroom opens onto its own partially covered private deck — same stunning scenery, its own quiet corner of the property.brbrFour bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Thoughtful separation of space. Nobody is on top of anyone else, and everyone has a view worth waking up for.brbrLiving Inside and Out - The screened porches — there are two — are the unsung heroes of this property. One wraps off the den and living room, pulling mountain breezes through and connecting seamlessly back to the interior. The other belongs exclusively to the primary suite. Both reward whoever finds them first with the kind of stillness that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else.brbrThe stone patio, the den, the living room designed to frame the view like a painting — every space here flows into the next, making the home feel both grand and effortlessly livable.brbrThe Setting - Highland Falls Country Club offers privacy and seclusion without remoteness. Downtown Highlands — with its acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, waterfalls, and trail access — is just minutes away. But with a view like this, a kitchen like that, and a screened porch calling your name, you may find yourself negotiating reasons not to leave.brbrThat's the idea.brbrWhat our guests are saying...brbrSpectacular View! We really enjoyed our experience at Big Bear Pen. The view was spectacular and the layout of the home worked great for our group. Communication and service from the folks at Rent In Highlands was top notch.

Welcome to Horseshoe Cabin! The name was coined when an old, rusted out horseshoe was found half buried in the backyard.brbrThat horseshoe is framed and still hangs in the kitchen today.brbrProving the legend of the horseshoe to be true, Horseshoe Cabin has thrived. It has been an honor to host so many amazing guests with such fascinating and unique back stories throughout the years. brbrLocated just minutes from the many restaurants, shops, and art galleries on Main Street in downtown Highlands, the cabin is situated in a very quiet, safe neighborhood just off Dillard Road, providing a peaceful haven in contrast to all the excitement the town has to offer. brbrHorseshoe Cabin is a mile from Glen Falls and is also in close proximity to many other scenic hiking trails & waterfalls. brbrThis designer cabin offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which were just updated this spring.br brThe open floor plan features a large living room/dining room combination, a kitchen/bar area, and a small outdoor grilling porch directly off of the kitchen. brbrThe living room boasts high ceilings, wood beams, a ventless gas log stone fireplace with remote control, and new upscale furnishings. brbrThe well-appointed, fully stocked kitchen and Weber gas grill provide everything needed for a night of entertaining or a quiet meal at home.brbrThere is an extensive library to provide endless hours of reading after the day’s activities, lots of games, in addition to smart TV's in all 3 bedrooms, the living room, and on the screened-in back porch. brbrThere is a high-speed cable modem, in addition to WiFi throughout the cabin.brbrThe expanded screened-in back porch provides a peaceful respite after a day of outdoor excursions, activities, or cultural events. Build fires in the wood burning fireplace on chilly autumn evenings, watch football games and your favorite movies on the smart TV, or just relax and listen to nature while enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.brbrBottled water, paper products, spices, and other essentials are provided as a complimentary convenience for guests...firewood as well.brbrA local baker keeps the cabin supplied with loaves of fresh pumpkin bread for any guests who would like to enjoy. The baker is not the cabin's owner...therefore the breads have been deemed delicious and safe to eat!brbrThe cabin features its very own dining guide, complete with photos and reviews. A regular guest of Horseshoe is a food critic in real life. He has carefully compiled an extensive guide to the restaurant scene and its recommended offerings. A hard copy of his exclusive guide is in the cabin. Upon booking your reservation to stay, I am happy to email the pdf of his collection in advance, as it is always a good idea to make reservations to many of Highlands' most popular dining destinations well ahead of time.brbrAnd finally, as a token of your visit to Horseshoe Cabin, each guest will get his/her very own horseshoe to take home...may love, protection, good health, and good fortune always be with you...

Sometimes the best trip you take is the one where everything is just right — the right size, the right feel, the right porch for the right moment. Highlands Haven is that trip.brbrA beautifully renovated ranch cottage tucked into the quiet Shelby Place neighborhood, five minutes from Main Street Highlands and a world away from the pace of everyday life. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, a creek you can hear from the deck, and a covered front porch made for exactly the kind of slow morning you've been promising yourself. Two king bedrooms. Two full baths. No wasted space, no missing anything.brbrDesigned for Two, Perfect for Four - The great room earns its name — light-filled and open, with vaulted ceilings that keep the space from ever feeling small and a gas-log fireplace that makes it feel warm without any effort. The open kitchen flows naturally into the living area around a breakfast bar that handles morning coffee, casual lunches, and pre-dinner drinks with equal ease. Both king bedrooms are well-appointed and genuinely comfortable, each served by its own full bath — one with a walk-in shower for the morning rush, one with a deep soaking tub for the evening wind-down. After a day of hiking or exploring town, that tub is not a luxury. It's a necessity.brbrThree Outdoor Spaces, Each with a Different Mood - The covered front porch is where mornings belong — cool mountain air, a good book, nothing demanding your attention. The open deck off the dining room puts you close enough to the creek to hear it clearly, which turns out to be one of the most effective forms of relaxation available at any price point. And when the evening settles in and the stars come out, the fire pit pulls everyone together for the kind of unhurried conversation that only happens when phones are put down and there's nowhere else to be.brbrThree distinct outdoor spaces in a two-bedroom cottage. That's the kind of thoughtful design that separates a place you enjoyed from a place you genuinely loved.brbrHighlands, Five Minutes Away Main Street - Highlands is a short drive from the front door — exceptional restaurants, boutique shops worth browsing, the Highlands Playhouse for a surprisingly excellent evening out, and the Old Edwards Inn & Spa for anyone who wants to fold a little luxury into the trip. Waterfalls and trailheads are equally close. The mountains here have a way of filling a day without any planning required.brbrCome for the quiet. Stay for everything else.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrGreat Stay! The house is beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed the back porch quite a bit and opened the windows at night to hear the rushing water. As soon as we got there and sat down on the porch, my husband was ready to plan our next stay. The house is located very close to the downtown area and a local grocery store.

Private. Backed by Forest. Two Miles From the Best Town in the Mountains.brbrSome vacation rentals make you choose between seclusion and convenience. This one doesn't ask you to.brbrBehind the gates of Highlands Falls Country Club, on a secluded lot where the backyard gives way to a protected forest preserve, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home occupies a particular kind of sweet spot — genuinely private, genuinely peaceful, and a two-mile drive from everything that makes Highlands one of the most beloved mountain towns in the Southeast. If you'd rather earn the arrival, a scenic 25-minute trail hike gets you there on foot.brbrEither way, the mountains win.brbrBuilt for Two Families, or One Very Lucky One - The layout of this home is one of its quiet superpowers. The main level functions as a complete, self-contained living space — beautifully appointed living area, fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining room built for shared meals, and a private ensuite bedroom that works perfectly as the primary suite. It's the kind of main level you could spend an entire trip on without feeling like anything is missing.brbrThen there's the lower level, which changes the math entirely for larger groups. A second full living room — ideal for movie nights, overflow lounging, or keeping the kids in their own orbit — anchors the space, alongside a kitchenette that gives guests downstairs the ability to operate independently when they want to. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms complete the level, creating a setup that two families can share without spending the whole trip negotiating over the kitchen or the remote.brbrThe Porches Deliver - Western North Carolina does sunsets differently, and the covered main-level porch has a front-row seat to all of it. Upper and lower outdoor spaces mean there's always somewhere to be outside — morning coffee, afternoon reading, al fresco dinners, or simply sitting with a drink while the forest goes quiet around you. The lot backs directly to a forest preserve, which means the view from the porch is trees and ridgeline as far as you can see, with no neighbors interrupting the picture.brbrThe Setting - Highlands Falls Country Club provides the kind of gated, manicured backdrop that makes arriving feel like an event. Beyond the gates, downtown Highlands is two miles away — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking, and the Old Edwards Inn and Spa all within easy reach. The trail into town is worth doing at least once, if only for the satisfaction of hiking somewhere with a good lunch waiting at the end.brbrCome for a long weekend. Start planning the return trip before you leave.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrPerfect quiet retreat. Our family was together for the first time in a very long time and this house made the event perfect. Great location, great team to rent from.

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.

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.
