About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Wright Cottage is a perfect getaway for a couple, a family, or group of friends. We've have a gas log fireplace to warm you after a day of shopping or hiking. And, we now have an outdoor fire bowl for you to enjoy! We are the BEST VALUE in Highlands!

This newly renovated three bedroom/three bathroom vacation home--The Wright Cottage--is located in a serene setting near downtown Highlands and a short drive to Cashiers. This home is a perfect setting to relax and recharge in the pristine mountains of western North Carolina. The cottage has the features and amenities that make it a tremendous rental value.

With hardwood floors throughout, the master bedroom suite features a king size bed with the new ensuite full bath with shower. Downstairs you will also find a full bath with tub for your kiddos! Upstairs features twin beds in one bedroom and a double bed in the other. In between, a full bathroom serves upstairs guests. And, we have air conditioning for those unusually hot days in Highlands.

The cottage kitchen is fully furnished and we have a dining room to seat 6 comfortably. Or, you might plan to dine outside at the patio table. If you decide to pick up some steaks from Dusty’s Market and cook out, a grill is available for your use! After dinner, you can relax on the screened porch and enjoy the evening experience while you listen to the nocturnal chorus of whip-o-wills, tree frogs, and the occasional hoot of the great horned owl.

Whether you decide to curl up with a good book or spend the afternoon shopping in town, you will grow to love Highlands. Maybe you want to spend the afternoon wading in the cool water emanating from a nearby waterfall or hike on one of the many trails in the surrounding National Forest. Your Highlands vacation will be complete when you end the day with an evening picnic at the top of Sunset Mountain.

Small inside pets are welcome with a pet deposit.

COVID-19 UPDATE - We are taking extra precautions and cleaning and sanitizing regularly. We have a good supply of hand sanitizer and wipes for you use during your stay.

The Wright Cottage- A Warm Farmhouse Christmas

The is the second year my adult daughters and I have spent Christmas at the Wright Cottage. It is such a warm, sweet setting to spend time together as a family and share the holiday. The home is a traditional farm house with a big fire place. We appreciate all the Christmas decorations. It was so inviting. We read books, played a board game, went on hikes and then went into town. It was a lovely holiday.

Beautiful house, wonderful host. It's a big historic house with many original features. The wood walls throughout are gorgeous. Lisa was amazing. We went after the storm and she kept me apprised of the conditions in the area. I'm so glad we were able to go.

Cozy Cottage in the NC Hills

This place was perfect for a nice weekend stay for a wedding. It is in close proximity to Highlands, NC and Flat Mountain Farm. The house was perfect for part of the wedding party, with four beds and three baths. It could sleep up to six people comfortably. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the living room was a comfortable place to hang out with the gas fire place. The host was very responsive, especially in the face of extenuating circumstances related to a severe weather event in the area. Our party would stay again!

Perfect Mountain Stay

The cabin was absolutely perfect! Everything was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen and baths had everything we needed. We built a fire in the fire pit one night and spent the next evening just curled on the sofa with blankets…very relaxing. Hopefully we can return soon!

Absolutely wonderful

We came to Highlands for my brothers wedding, which was only a 4 minute drive from this wonderful home. This home is also only an 8 minute drive from town which was very convenient for downtime. There is a Dollar General 5 minutes away for any of those last minute needs. The home was clean, well stocked and private. We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. It was so peaceful and convenient. I would highly recommend staying here for any getaway but especially if you have someone getting married at Flat Mountain Farms. We hope to be back! The host was so easy to work with and quick to respond!

Week in June

We enjoyed our stay at the Wright cottage. The home is equipped with everything we needed and more. We had some rainy, cool days so the fireplace came in handy. Bed in master is quite comfortable, bathrooms updated and very nice. Only minor negative is that lighting could be improved in living room and bedroom. That being said, we will stay there again! Thank you Lisa.

The Right House

Three college friends and one spouse stayed at your rental. We loved the feel of the place. It was spacious and homey. Just one recommendation. I would put blackout curtains in the room with the twin beds. It’s pretty bright when the sun comes up so sleeping in was not easy. We loved the gas fireplace. The remote to the fireplace wasn’t working for us. Fortunately one of us who owns a few properties knew how to turn on the fireplace. All in all, it was a wonderful visit!
