Storybook Manor

WE DO NOT ACCEPT AMEX

This home has a strict NO PET policy. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a $1000.00 fine.

Only adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.

This home has exterior cameras for security purposes.

From the Highlands of Europe to the Highlands of North Carolina, the Storybook Manor provides livable elegance that is casual yet timeless. Luminous and fresh, the manor is refined rustic, opulent yet inviting.  A home that celebrates the look of natural wood bathed in sunshine with artfully done inlays scrolled from nature's bounty. Exuberant shapes in an understated scale create a livable resort feeling suitable for homes with an unpretentious casual elegance. Architectural details including rustic timber frame elements and its reminiscent influences of a charming European Village, give this home it's "storybook" feel.

The Home is surrounded by landscaped gardens, babbling brooks, meandering trails, and beautiful vistas. Enter the property through a pair of stone pillars and cross a boardwalk bridge that is elevated over the lush gardens below. Once inside, you find the native stone fireplace that soars over 20 feet from floor to ceiling and light streaming in through windows set high above the grand living room. The kitchen is outfitted with professional grade equipment and room for multiple cooks. On the main living level you will also find one of the two primary suites with a queen size bed that affords easy access to the kitchen and living areas. Ascend the grand staircase to the upper level library that looks over the great room you will also find the second primary suite with a king sized bed. This suite includes a large sitting area and private covered balcony that affords a tremendous view over the property. Below the main level is the guest area complete with living room and another native stone fireplace. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and bedroom 4 has full size bunk beds.  Access the garage and the guest cottage with full kitchenette and Juliette balcony from the main level boardwalk.  This serves as the 5th bedroom with a king bed (the bed can be separated into twin beds upon request. Please let us know in advance and we'll be happy to take care of that for you).

Hike down the community trail to Big Creek Waterfall or take advantage of being just a short drive to downtown Main Street and you'll discover all that Highlands has to offer. Referred to by many as the Aspen of the east, Highlands has received accolades for its many award-winning restaurants such as Madison's and On the Verandah. A destination for art lovers, The Bascom Center for the Arts always has something interesting on display and classes to participate in.  Catch a great show at the Highlands Playhouse or the Performing Arts Center and in the summer enjoy the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival.

Caution: The railings on the decks are decorative and should not be climbed on or leaned on.

Quick Last Minute Getaway
We had a blast here. There is a great restaurant at the top of the hill. Don’t drive straight into the driveway. It’s steep and reverse has a taller gear than first gear. You could get stuck. Back in. There are two master bedrooms. Top floor and the main floor. Enjoy the views. Don’t forget to hike past the guest house and walk down to the waterfall.

It is a wonderful house, clean and well equipped. We did had problems with the air conditioning and let the rental company know. In hindsite, due to the many winding and steep roads, we wished it had been a little closer to town.

Great house. Great location. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own “private space” when needed. Great views from all the different decks that surround the house. Had our family of 8, with four teenagers who loved the game room.

Storybook Getaway
The house was totally dreamy and the views were top notch! If you are driving to the house at night, it's best to go slow and take your time as it's very dark and the roads are winding all the way up.

Excellent Propery
Our large family (including my mother in law) travelled to Highlands for my son's wedding, so we needed a large, comfortable house which was close enough to Main Street (8 minutes), yet far enough to have a nice mountain view and not be right in town. I cannot say enough good things about this property. The four bedroom house was clean and welcoming, the kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are updated, and there is enough room (between two dens, a game room, and four levels of porches) to separate when you need some alone time. The views from FIVE different porches (with nice seating) are amazing. With four levels, it was good that this house has a master on the main level, to accommodate my 87 year old mother in law and, also, a master on the top floor for my husband and me. Also, the manager, Alicen, was very responsive with any questions or concerns I had leading up to our stay. Our only negative, is that we wish we would have booked it longer in order to continue enjoying the porches and views for a few more days. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Highlands.

Relaxing location, generous spaces, great views.
Overall a great house, loved the location, views, and privacy. Spaces work well for large group. Porch is great for relaxing and Dining. Could use more cleaning, ... Kitchen cabinets and refrigerator not very clean. Bed Linens felt quite old and worn.

Very nice house. Spacious. Pretty views. House was not clean upon our arrival. Dirty dishes, outlets
Easy rental process. Housekeeping doing a poor job despite generous cleaning fee. Spent first day cleaning house without decent vacuum. Kids had to leave early to go to dermatologist in Atlanta, diagnosed with flea bites.

This house is roomy and has several great porches that overlook a beautiful stream and woods. There's a great waterfall nearby you can hike to but it's a little tricky. House was great with well appointed kitchen. Great home for family vacation!
