Walk Everywhere, Large Fenced Yard Perfect for Kids/Dogs, Wood Burning Fireplace

High Hemlock's stunning finishes and unbeatable in town Highlands location make this 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom cabin the perfect spot for an upscale mountain escape. Professionally designed with thoughtful touches at every turn, you and your guests will be able to unwind in privacy without ever being far from the action.

The Location: High Hemlock is located within the Highlands town limits near Harris Lake and behind Mountain Fresh Grocery. This is an area where locals come to walk/jog because it's a on a rare flat loop that is a quick 1/2 mile jaunt to Main Street, where all the shops and restaurants are located.

The Property: High Hemlock is located on a 1/2 acre fenced and wooded lot with a small mossy side yard. Hemlock groves, thick, old growth rhododendrons, and maples add privacy from the street. There are 4 rocking chairs on the front porch that are perfect for bird watching or listening to the peace and quiet or the occasional church bells.

The Cabin: As some of our renters once said, "walking into High Hemlock is like stepping into a Garden & Gun spread." Open the creaky screened door to the subtle smell of firewood and the rhododendrons blooming beside the front porch. The cabin is flooded with natural light. Finishes include all shiplap walls, wide-plank hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with antique wood beams, local slate tile, and the original 1940's Wolf range in the kitchen.

The Layout: From the front porch, guests enter into a large open space that houses the living room with wood burning fireplace on the right, and the dining room for 6 on the left. Both ensuite bedrooms are off of the main living area (one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed). The galley kitchen is to the far left behind the dining room wall and looks out onto the side mossy yard.

The Area: Highlands, NC is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it's quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it's one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world.

Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

The Details: The living room and both bedrooms have flat screen smart TV's and standard cable channels. We also have wifi. All of the bedding is memory foam- we understand everyone has their preference, but we get lots of compliments on our comfy beds. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. All of our cabins are pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee.

A great place to stay while in Highlands!
This house is perfect, for a stay while in Highlands. The feel of the house helps set the tone while in Highlands. The decor and architecture of the house is up to date and appears to be professionally done. Just a note: When we stayed in the house the temperature in Highlands was in the 30’s so it was rather cold for those of us from Florida, so we had to use the heater in the house, The bedrooms got nice and toasty but then the common area was probably 10 degrees colder. Once I closed the fire place damper, the house temperature evened out (some one will say, duh). I would definitely stay here again!

Steep sidewalk
I have a broken bone in my foot, and did not ask about the trek from car to house. It was long and steep, but my partner did not mind at all. There is no view, but downtown is very close and, despite my problems walking, we had a wonderful time. A very nicely appointed house.

Perfect spot!
Home is in a perfect spot as it is isolated and quiet but convenient to town-it’s easy to pop down the street to grab dinner, shop, etc. We arrived in the middle of a storm to find the power out! Despite that, we enjoyed wine and cheese with a fire in the cozy den our first evening. Would highly recommend this location for a couples getaway or girls weekend!

High Hemlock vacation
This house was everything described and then some. After reading the reviews, I was worried that the beds may not be comfortable but that is far from the truth. We have stayed at tons of vacation rentals and these beds were the most comfy yet. The house is so quaint - you literally feel like you are stepping into a Southern Living magazine. It is a short walk to downtown and very quiet at night. My only wish is that we booked longer. Thanks Kristy so much. We will be back next year for sure.

Cozy Cottage!
This cute cozy cabin is more magical in person than in the beautiful pictures! Every detail is thoughtful - extra blankets, thick cozy duvets and quilts, a large water Brita, cookware, supplies, full size new washer & dryer, super comfortable beds, even holiday decor. Everything was spotless. Great location walkable to town. Gorgeous stone wood burning fireplace was a highlight! We didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back. 5 STARS!!
