Some properties check boxes. This one collects moments.brbrThe moment you walk through the door and the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace stops you mid-sentence. The moment you notice the wrought iron and turquoise-inlaid mahogany furniture and realize someone made actual artistic decisions about this house. The moment you step onto the spa deck and find a six-person hot tub ringed by flame azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom, Shortoff Mountain holding the horizon in every direction, and you understand immediately why 4,200 feet feels like exactly the right altitude.brbrThree bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Three distinct deck experiences. Two king master suites that don't share a level or a wall. One house that manages to feel both artfully designed and genuinely, deeply comfortable.brbrSeven minutes from Highlands. Ten from Cashiers. Somehow completely removed from both.brbrA Main Level Built Around the View The great room earns every square foot. Plush leather seating faces a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace on one side and an uninterrupted frame of Shortoff Mountain on the other — large windows pulling the outside in with the quiet confidence of a home that knows it has nothing to prove. Concrete countertops, a spacious island, and beautiful pine cabinetry make the kitchen the kind of space where cooking feels optional but enjoyable, and the open connection to the dining and living areas keeps everyone together without crowding anyone out.brbrThe main-level king master suite deserves its own paragraph. Artist-designed wrought iron and turquoise-inlaid mahogany furniture. A private bath with double vanities and a walk-in shower. A private deck with mountain views that makes getting out of bed a genuinely difficult decision each morning. It is, by any measure, a room worth booking the trip for.brbrA second main-level bedroom — a queen room furnished with a custom iron and pecan bed and period antiques — brings the kind of timeless, considered warmth that only comes from someone who actually thought about what sleeping in this room should feel like.brbrUpstairs, the Second King Suite Goes Its Own Way Cathedral ceilings with wood beams. A large walk-in closet. A private bath. And an elevated sense of space and quiet that makes the upper king suite feel less like a bedroom and more like a retreat within the retreat. Two king suites, neither one a compromise, neither one within earshot of the other. Traveling with another couple just became considerably more appealing.brbrThree Decks. Each One Different. All of Them Worth It. The open deck handles casual outdoor moments — seating for four, fresh air, mountain views, the kind of spot you end up at with a coffee before anyone else is awake. The covered porch deck operates at full scale — dining table for eight, gas grill, and a wood-burning fireplace that makes outdoor dinners viable well into fall and surprisingly far into spring. And then there's the spa deck, which is genuinely its own experience: a six-person hot tub encircled by flame azaleas and rhododendrons, with Shortoff Mountain as the backdrop and nothing between you and the sky. Come peak bloom season, the azaleas alone are worth the trip.brbrThe main-level master suite adds a fourth private deck for anyone who needs a completely secluded outdoor moment — because apparently this house believes everyone deserves their own piece of the mountain.brbrThe Mountains Are the Calendar Seven minutes to Highlands means acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, and trailheads are genuinely close. Ten minutes to Cashiers opens up even more. In every direction, the Southern Appalachians offer the kind of hiking, swimming holes, and scenery that fills days without any planning required. Come in spring for the azalea bloom surrounding the hot tub. Come in fall for the color. Come in winter for the fireplace — both of them.brbrThere's no bad time. There's just your time, and when you want to book it.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrPictures don't do it justice! Amazing views and lots of space for the whole family. - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Gus K.brbrSpecial AmenitiesbrbrCovered DeckbrHot TubbrScreened PorchbrOutdoor Wood Burning Fireplacebr2 Wood Burning FireplacesbrbrThis home is professionally managed by Rent in Highlands, a division of Country Club Properties.
