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.

Our third stay
This was our third stay at High Hemlock and it’s still as magical as before. We love staying here and feel so recharged by the time we leave. It’s convenient to town but feels like you’re alone in the woods. We’ll be back I’m sure!

Great location
We loved this two bedroom 2.5 cabin. It is 10 minute walk from downtown, but is perched on a hill and feels like it is in the mountains. The place was spotless. We enjoyed the fireplace and using the front porch in the evening.

Upscale Downtown Cottage
We’ve stayed in many places in Highlands over the years and this is now one of my favorites. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We especially loved the large fenced in yard for our four legged family member. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Great Location and Great Property
Very walkable into town and the photos are exactly what you experience. There are a few steps up into the house and while there is another property behind the house, it felt very private. We enjoyed the proximity to town, the fireplace and even though we didn't use it very much: the channel line up was impressive. The beds were cozy and it seemed like there was limitless hot water.

A wonderful location in a charming cottage
High Hemlock is located within walking distance of downtown and a serene lake. How often do you get that? The interior is stunning, comfortable and inviting. We had everything we needed and found the owner to be responsive and helpful in answering our questions. Would we rent again? In a heartbeat!

20 degrees cooler in Highlands than back home. Thoroughly enjoyed High Hemlock’s front porch, the hiking and this trip we booked a Highlands Excursion Adventure. Our favorite place to rest and recharge.

Wonderful Stay!
We totally enjoyed our stay at High Hemlock. It is a beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing get away. The cabin is in a quiet area and close to all that downtown Highlands has to offer. Our two dogs loved romping in the fenced yard. The mountain themed decor was comfortable and lovely. When we return to the area we will definitely rent this cabin from Kristy again. She was very responsive in every way.

Beautiful Private Cabin
My husband and I were very pleased with our stay in the High Hemlock cabin. The cabin was stylishly furnished and had everything one needed. The interior looked new and meticulously clean. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and warm quilts. The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals, with higher end cookware and knives. We particularly enjoyed the spacious porch with rockers. We definitely would choose to stay here again.

We could not have been more pleased with the property or our stay. The cabin is furnished with everything you could imagine you would need. We walked into town multiple times a day. Every Elevate property is special...High Hemlock among them.
