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.brbrSometimes the best vacation home is the one that gets out of its own way — where the layout just works, the outdoor spaces flow into each other naturally, and by day two everyone has found their spot and settled in like they've been coming here for years.brbrThat's Little Bear Pen.brbrA beautifully renovated single-level home with a bright, open floor plan, multiple private bedroom suites, a screened porch with a wood-burning fireplace, and a wraparound deck with more entry points and seating areas than you'll know what to do with. Easy to navigate, genuinely comfortable, and designed for the kind of trip where relaxing isn't an afterthought — it's the whole point.brbrInside: Open, Bright, and Surprisingly Easy -The single-level layout is one of those features that sounds practical and turns out to be transformative — no stairs between bedrooms and kitchen, no navigating the house in the dark, no one feeling separated from the group. The open floor plan keeps the living, dining, and kitchen spaces connected without crowding them, and the well-equipped kitchen with its gas stove anchors one end of the home with a large rustic dining table that makes group meals feel like an event worth lingering over. Each bedroom comes with its own private bathroom — a detail that eliminates the morning negotiation entirely and somehow makes the whole trip run smoother.brbrOutside: Where Little Bear Pen Really Lives. The outdoor layout here is quietly exceptional — and more expansive than it first appears. A covered front porch with two sets of rocking chairs handles the slow mornings, the afternoon reads, and the evenings when the view is enough. Off the dining room, a screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace and its own dining table becomes the natural gathering point for everyone — sheltered enough for unpredictable mountain weather, open enough to feel like outside. An uncovered deck connects the screened porch to the kitchen on one side and to the primary bedroom and guest room on the other, creating a continuous outdoor loop that means someone always has somewhere comfortable to be.brbrMultiple entry points. Multiple seating areas. One very well-designed outdoor experience.brbrThe Flow is the Feature What makes this property special isn't any single room or any single view — it's the way everything connects. Primary bedroom to deck to screened porch. Kitchen to deck to rocking chairs out front. Dining room to porch to fireplace. The house was designed for people to move through it freely, find their corner, and not feel like they have to go looking for comfort. It's just there, wherever you end up.brbrDowntown Highlands is a short drive away — restaurants, shops, waterfalls, and trails all within easy reach. But between the rocking chairs, the screened porch fireplace, and a deck that wraps the whole home together, you may find that leaving requires more motivation than expected.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrPerfect mountain getaway. The house is the perfect location in the mountains and only a very short drive into The downtown. I really did not want to leave. We had cozy fires and they even provided the firewood for us! Will definitely want to come back! - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, DinabrbrRent 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.

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.brbrTwo Miles From the Best Town in the Mountains.brbrThere's a particular kind of morning that only happens at a lakefront property — the one where you're outside with coffee before anyone else is awake, the water is completely still, and the mountains are just starting to catch the light. Lake Sequoyah does this exceptionally well. And this home, with its private dock, newly renovated deck, and unobstructed lake views from nearly every room, puts you right in the middle of it.brbrFour bedrooms. Three bathrooms. A full entertainment level that keeps everyone happy when they're not on the water. And two miles of easy road between you and downtown Highlands whenever the outside world calls.brbrThe Main Level Lives for the View - The great room announces the lake immediately — bright, open, and oriented to make the most of the water views that stretch out beyond the deck. Casual meals happen at the bar, longer ones pull everyone to the dining area, and the two king bedrooms on this level give the adults in the group the quiet, lake-facing retreats they came here for. The primary suite is luxurious in the way that actually matters — calm, comfortable, and waking up to water. The second king room delivers the same peaceful lake views with slightly less ceremony, which is not a complaint.brbrDownstairs, the Trip Gets Fun - The lower level is where vacation momentum builds. Ping pong. A gaming table. A cozy library for whoever needs a quieter corner. A PS4 for movie nights or gaming sessions that run later than anyone planned. Two additional bedrooms — a bunk room that the kids will claim immediately and a fourth king bedroom for overflow adults — share a full bathroom with walk-in shower. A laundry room on this level means longer stays are fully supported and packing light is a legitimate strategy.brbrThe Dock, the Deck, the Whole Point Step outside and the property reveals its best feature: a newly renovated deck and patio flowing down to a private dock on Lake Sequoyah. Kayaks in the morning. Fishing off the dock in the afternoon. Sunset from the deck with something cold in hand as the lake goes from gold to still. This outdoor sequence — from the patio to the dock and back — is the kind of thing that fills the days without any planning required and generates the photos that make everyone else wish they'd come.brbrLake Sequoyah is quiet, clean, and genuinely beautiful. Having a private dock on it is the kind of thing that turns a good mountain trip into the one your group talks about for years afterward.brbrHighlands, Two Miles Away - Waterfalls, hiking trails, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, the Old Edwards Inn and Spa — all of it is two miles down the road. Highlands is one of those towns that rewards every season: mild summers perfect for the lake, fall color that stops you mid-sentence, winter scenery that makes the fireplace feel essential. Come whenever you can. The dock will be waiting.brbrWhat our guests are saying…brbrNew Years 2022. Highlands Lake Sequoyah Lodge was everything we had hoped it would be. Beautiful view of Lake Sequoyah off the back porch. Spacious rooms to accommodate all guests. We had a blast being able to use the kayak's on the lake.
