Located on picturesque Flat Mountain Road, just 3 miles to the center of Highlands, this completely renovated 3BR/2BA offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of old Highlands in an elegantly decorated cottage.

Built in 1945, the house was completely renovated and professionally decorated in 2020. Enter the living room with beamed ceilings, natural stone fireplace(gas), and hardwood floors and then wander into the dining area with vintage light fixture and French doors. The adjoining kitchen is completely refurbished with custom cabinets, a copper farmhouse sink, antique Honduran Mahogany countertops, and wine cooler with brand new washer and dryer in adjacent room. Discover the spacious master suite with King bed, vaulted ceilings, and leather floor that opens into an en-suite that includes double vanity and a tile and glass shower. Two bedrooms on the opposite side of the house each have large walk-in closets and share an updated Jack and Jill bathroom with an antique vanity and copper sink. One boasts a Queen bed and the other a large antique wood and leather desk with a Full Murphy bed.

The elegance and style of the home are complemented by the unique beauty of the outdoor space. Nestled on nearly an acre, this home affords you the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of Highlands in seclusion. The rocking chair front porch invites you to swing away an afternoon while the screened porch offers a relaxing view of the backyard, fire pit, and chicken coop. A path leads you to a wooded area behind the home where you’ll discover an adorable She Shed and small hideaway cellar beneath the chicken coop. Spend the evening at the fire pit or enjoy a meal at the picnic table by the barn as you relax to the sound of a waterfall cascading into the small pond on the property. Explore the fenced garden with blackberry bushes planted new in Spring 2021. Shoot baskets at the basketball hoop on the barn, relax inside with the barn doors open playing board games, or pass the time in the loft watching TV or trying your hand at the top of the line Tornado foosball table. Professionally designed landscaping blends beautifully with mature trees to create a one of a kind property. The abundance of outdoor spaces to explore make this perfect for a romantic trip or a family with children to enjoy the beauty of Highlands.

Home comes equipped with cable, high speed internet with WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen has all new appliances including microwave, gas range, coffee maker, side-by-side refrigerator, Anova sous vide, vacuum sealer, electric griddle, and disposal.

Wow! What a wonderful week we had at your absolutely beautiful home!! We did so many fun things while we were here! I think our favorite was sitting outside relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee. Listening to the sounds of waterfalls and enjoying every minute of being here, it really doesn't get much better! We appreciate you sharing you out-of-this-world place with us! 

Thank you so much, again!

We had the best time on our Highlands getaway. Your lovely home was everything we were looking for and more. The kids loved playing foosball in the barn and basketball out back. We loved family game nights inside by the fire. We hope to visit again in warmer months to explore + hike. Thank you for your hospitality.

What was supposed to be just a 2 night quick New Years' getaway turned into a 6-night glorious retreat!! Thanks you for opening this great home to others to share! It's absolutely perfect and I can't wait to come back SOON! My first trip to Highlands has been so enjoyable. I <3 this area and don't want to leave! 

Dry Falls + Bridal Veil Falls were a fun outing but just relaxing by the fireplace and the peaceful outdoors was just as great! I thoroughly enjoyed all the great eating I've done. No repeats and I still have more to try on my next visit. 

THANK YOU again for letting me stay & extend!

There is no way to describe the ambience of this place!! Quiet, peaceful, the waterfall and landscaping is a joy to be around. Amazing job!

Not to mention the barn! Gandsons loved it; a great haven for 11 + 13 year old grandsons. The house is perfect!!

Love the porches front and back. Hope to return soon--

A magical week! The cottage is so cozy--loved every day! The Bridal Veil, Pinky Falls & the specatcular Dry Falls had to be at the top of the list! Also the AT, Continental Divide, Elkherd, & just everywhere you turn there is something to see! The Mountain Laurel & Rhododendron were in full bloom too! A wonderful venue that feels like home!

PERFECT NC HIDEAWAY but still close to everything. Quaint cabin, meticulously renovated and maintained. Awesome kitchen - all the comforts of home and then there was all the rest of the property which was like a private mountain oasis. We are already planning to come back.Everything was perfect - exactly as pictured and described. The staff kept in touch via email and text and was completely responsive.

From the moment we arrived until the time we departed we couldnt get over how special this property was! The home and surrounding property has so many special little areas - there are so many thoughtful items from little fairies placed outdoor to a bed jet master bedroom to a great kitchen! We will definitely be returning to Birdsong! One of our greatest family trips!!Excellent customer service and communication!!
