About this cottage rental
Fall asleep to the sound of Big Creek and wake up to coffee on the screened porch. On The Rocks is a 4-bedroom creekside cottage just minutes from downtown Highlands, with its own swim hole, a firepit right on the water, and a game room the kids won’t want to leave. The layout works beautifully for multiple families, with an upstairs suite and a separate downstairs apartment, and you’re an easy drive to Dry Falls, Whiteside Mountain, and Cashiers.
THE PROPERTY
Tucked away on 3.9 private, wooded acres right on Big Creek, On The Rocks sits at 4,118 feet, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and just 2 hours north of Atlanta. Spend your days swimming, rafting, and fishing in the creek, then gather in the Adirondack chairs around the firepit or unwind in the oversized outdoor hammock.
THE LAYOUT
Designed so two or three couples (or families) each have their own space:
Main level: Chef’s kitchen and bar open to the great room with a wood-burning fireplace. French doors lead to a screened porch with water views that seats 10. Two private bedrooms share a full bath.
Upper level: The king primary suite with vaulted ceilings, full bath, office, dressing room/nursery, and two walk-in closets big enough for a pack-n-play.
Lower level: An entertainment suite with a bedroom, flat-screen TV, pool table and ping pong, plus a second screened porch with a private path down to the creek.
THE DETAILS
Hardwood floors throughout
Kitchen stocked with serving dishes, china, and stemware
Fresh white linens and towels provided
Dog-friendly (up to 2 dogs, 50 lbs max each)
All the feel of a luxury bed & breakfast with the comforts of home
THE LOCATION
A quiet, private setting off Billy Cabin Road, shared with just three neighboring homes, yet only minutes from downtown Highlands’ shops and restaurants.
UPCOMING EVENTS IN HIGHLANDS
November 7–10: Highlands Food & Wine Festival
November 26 – December 24: Trim Our Town
December 7: Olde Mountain Christmas Parade
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was the sweetest home I’ve ever rented from an online site. Well appointed, homey and just perfect. We even made it a point to stay at the house over exploring one day. We had coffee in the porch every morning and the sound of the stream out back was the icing on the cake. Beautiful home. 100% recommend.
