About this cabin rental

Located in Highlands, this lovely cabin for R 9,918 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Authentic 1940's cabin next to Mirror Lake with indoor fireplace, screened porch It doesn't get more charming than Hickory Hill, an authentic wooden cabin that's been updated true to its 1940's roots. With a view of Mirror Lake and all the quirk and charm from the era, this home boasts original wood paneled walls, shiplap, vaulted wooden ceilings, and a stone hearth fireplace. Enjoy relaxing on the screened porch or open air deck overlooking Mirror Lake. Oozing rustic charm, Hickory Hill has 2 King suites, one with a large sleeping loft and separate TV den perfect for kids or teens. The Location: Hickory Hill is located In-town Highlands, NC. With a 1minute walk to Mirror Lake, it's just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy but close enough that dinner/shopping on Main Street is less than a mile's drive away. The Property: Hickory Hill is nestled with a grove of other quaint and tiny cabins in an easily accessible part of Highlands. We have a small, lushly landscaped yard. There are 4 rocking chairs on the back deck overlooking Mirror Lake perfect for bird watching or soaking in some peace and quiet. We also have a screened porch facing the lake with furniture ripe to cozy into with a good book and a cup of coffee. The Cabin: Hickory Hill has authentic rustic charm with all the common amenities. Open the wooden front door and surround yourself with original milled beadboard walls and ceilings, and patina'd hardwood floors. The Layout: From the private side courtyard, guests walk up 5 stairs to the side door, which enters into the foyer/dining area with expandable table for 4-6. The open floor plan flows into the living area with stone hearth fireplace and 75" TV. The cozy kitchen and both King Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are off to the right. One of the King suites has a set of stairs leading to a sizable sleeping loft with two twin beds and a separate TV den. The screened porch accessible from the dining area that flows onto the open air deck. 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: Flat Parking for 2 cars is directly in front of the house and easily accessible. The living room, both bedrooms, and the upstairs have large flat screen smart TV's and fiber optic cable. We also have wifi. The kitchen is well stocked from the Bosch appliances to the Le Creuset and All Clad cookware.

Awesome trip to the mountains before Thanksgiving. House is clean, warm and very close to downtown (3 minute drive). Perfect getaway from the big city and a great home base for our many mountain hikes.

Wonderful accommodation for 4 adults traveling with an infant. Very cozy and well stocked. I wished the listing had mentioned there was a portable crib available. I only have two complaints, one was there was very limited hot water, especially with 4 adults needing showers. Most of the time our shower in the guest room, at best, was barely warm, we had to alternate showering at different intervals to make it work. The other, was no ice in the icemaker, we flipped the arm down in the icemaker, but still no ice. Other than those minor things, everything else was great! Very quiet and decorated beautifully. A very short drive to downtown; I wouldn't say walkable, but short driving distance. Pride of ownership really shows.

Hickory Hill is a lovely house in a quiet neighborhood. The owner has thought of everything from linens, to a very well equipped kitchen. Two very nice King suites with newly renovated bathrooms, along with an additional room in loft. We appreciated the attention to detail throughout the house. Proximity to downtown is wonderful, you can walk on charming streets or drive and be in the middle of the action in minutes. I used the recreation center daily for exercise.. We would highly recommend the house and host!

Met an old friend I has not seen in 5 years and couldn’t have found a better place to visit the past and enjoy the present! The cabin was charming, kitchen was well appointed, beds were comfortable and the owner was excellent in communicating with me...so convenient to town too! My friend travels the world but had not heard about Highlands, NC - the cabin, the the restaurants, the shops, the sights, did not disappoint! What a great memory maker...thank you, Kristy!
