Sanctuary Cottage - Historic Highlands Charm

Step into the warmth of knowing you’re home when you walk into this beautifully renovated property full of Highlands history and charm.  Overlooking the pasture that once belonged to infamous log home builder, Joe Webb, Sanctuary Cottage offers an abundance of room and areas for retreat and relaxation.  The living room has plenty of comfortable seating around the beautiful stone fireplace with large flat screen tv.  Cozy up with a good book and a cup of afternoon tea in the respite room, which offers a comfy chair and day bed overlooking the expansive open deck. 
Speaking of decks….the covered screen deck and the large open deck are two additional living spaces where you can breathe in Highlands fresh mountain air.  Settle in to watch the sun set over the Fishhawk mountains and the stars come out across the wide-open, dark night sky. When you retire for the evening, you may choose from three bedrooms—a King with private bath and 2 Twins with hall bath on one end of the house, and King master with private bath on the other. Meals prepared in the brand new kitchen can be enjoyed by two fireside, six in the dining area, four on the screened porch or eight dining al fresco on the deck. Less than two miles from the city center and a stones-throw from Bridal Veil Falls, hikers will enjoy walking out front door of the house and taking a neighborhood trail to Cliffside Lake.

Beautiful cottage in convenient location
My husband and I loved our stay at Sanctuary Cottage. The home was beautifully decorated and the neighborhood was convenient yet quiet. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in, lamps and music on as well as fresh cut flowers to welcome us. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful and well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The property was great but the only problem was there was just one tv.

Great house!
We absolutely loved our stay at Sanctuary Cottage. It is such a lovely and comfortable home. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck for cocktails and looking at the stars. The screened porch is a perfect spot to hang out during the rainfall. The kitchen is very well appointed having everything you need. Everything was just right. Lots of great spots to cozy up with a book. We loved our stay and hope to go back next summer!!

Fantastic Vacation
The pictures of this property absolutely do not do it justice! It is FANTASTIC! The property owners have thought of every thing you might need! The linens and pillows on every single bed are fabulous! No expense was spared in this design! The outdoor space and views are amazing! We stayed here with our 15 year old, 6 year old and 3 year old. We hiked several local trails! Fantastic trip! You are just a few miles outside of town. Location is great!
