Cabin on the Hill
A small but well equipped cabin at the end of a private road. A deck with table and chairs expands the living space. Very quiet location behind the owners house. There is a fenced in yard at this cabin perfect for a dog to explore.
There is a barn and fenced area for the two horses. A large section of the pasture has reverted to natural plantings which attract a variety of birds. The road to the cabin runs along the pasture providing viewing and photographing opportunities. The host lives on the property and was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We would stay at this location again.

Great place to stay for a quick trip to the mountains.
We had a small window of opportunity for a trip to Highlands, NC. I found The Zen Den on VRBO and the description met what we needed. The owner gave perfect directions on how to get to our location (the gps would have never got us there) and had turned the heat on before our arrival. The place was very clean and comfortable. The cooking situation was very limited but for our short stay it was fine. For two people and a short stay the Zen Den was perfect!

Cute cottage in lovely setting but a few problems. Cabin was musty and had spider webs, Main house had dogs that were confined to porch but barked incessantly when outside. Needs to have flood lighting for walking back to cottage at night

Tranquil Retreat
We had a wonderful time staying at the Zen Den with our pups. It was so peaceful & has a nice long quiet road to walk the dog. The cabin has everything you need right in reach & a very comfortable bed. Linda is nearby & answers all your questions- a great host! Zen Den is a gem

Peaceful getaway
We had a lovely few days, winding down. The tiny but very cute cabin was perfect; rustic but warm and cozy. It was quiet and peaceful with plenty of walks in close proximity. The host was perfect and, though living very close by, was not at all intrusive. We would definitely return.

Fall Week end at the Zen Den
Our little week end stay in the zen den was lovely!
It’s in a perfect location all snuggled up in the woods but yet close to town and restaurants etc
It is very small but very cozy ❤️
Linda is a wonderful host and had everything we could have needed available to us.
During our stay we had a key mishap and hated to bother Linda but she was most helpful and kind helping us out with that.

Peaceful , great location ,everything done in excellence.
We felt like we were deep in the woods, yet just off the main road.So enjoyed breakfast on the porch,with the faint sound of Glen falls and horses meandering threw their field.
Place was very clean. Owner was extreamely helpful. We would go back and definitely recommend to our friends.

Peaceful nature vibes
I stayed here for two nights and could not have been more satisfied. The location is amazing — right near a hiking trail to waterfalls — and the views on the property are incredible. It's also within a 5 minute drive to downtown highlands. The cabin had a quaint and cozy vibe and a cute little loft where I did some meditating. I highly recommend for anyone needing space to decompress, reflect, and be creative :)

Quiet, clean, and comfy
The Zen Den is a lovely cabin, simple but with all the comforts of home. Close to Highlands center and to the beautiful scenery around the area, the cabin is compact and manageable for a getaway. It would even be perfect for one person who wants seclusion. If you have a dog, be sure to have a leash if s/he doesn’t listen well - ours doesn’t - as there are places to wander off to. Linda was also very gracious during a family episode, for which I was very thankful.

Awesome little cabin
The host, Linda, was very nice and provided for all our needs. She had snacks and good coffee and creamer in the cabin. The cabin was well furnished, clean and everything worked well. The bed was comfortable. The cute little cabin is small, but well laid out and plenty big for a couple. Only a few miles to Highlands and very near a waterfall. Would definitely stay here again!!

A Truly Zen Den!
My husband and I and our small dog spent three nights at the Zen Den, which was exactly the lodging we'd hoped for. The cabin is clean, cozy, well equipped and decorated with vintage charm and obvious love by its owner, who was extremely kind and helpful and accommodating. Its lovely setting strikes a nice balance between private and convenient to town. It overlooks the access road to Glen Falls, a lovely hike that we and our pup very much enjoyed. The Zen Den is highly recommended! We hope to return.

Great location, near downtown Highlands
This quirky little cabin fit our needs perfectly for a spur of the moment trip to the mountains. We liked the location - about 2 miles or so to the center of town. It was on the smaller side but great for 2 people and had everything we needed. Having horses on the property was a plus. We loved the natural, rural setting.
