This gorgeous cottage is nestled high up in the trees is less than 5 minutes to main street Highlands NC and has everything you need for a wonderful Highlands getaway.  The tastefully decorated cottage has soaring cathedral ceilings and a large wall of windows looking out onto picturesque hardwoods and hemlocks. The beautiful high-end kitchen includes a WOLF gas oven and range for the gourmet chef, beautiful granite countertops, seating for two at the kitchen island, and a large kitchen table for six.  

A cozy reading nook at the top of the stairs overlooks the well-appointed kitchen, large great room and wood burning fireplace below.  Two master bedrooms each with King size beds and ensuite baths provide comfortable and private accommodations for the most discriminating guests.   

During the day, enjoy the western facing open deck to soak up the fresh mountain breezes and beautiful sunsets. On a rainy mountain day, curl up on the covered deck with a book and listen to the rain on the tin roof.  Evenings are special at Glen Falls Cottage whether you choose to gather around the outdoor fire pit and plan your gourmet dinner “in”, or choose to take advantage of the many exclusive dining experiences in nearby Highlands. 

Perched on a hillside, access to this treehouse paradise is via the steep mountain driveway with flat lower turnaround parking pad and flat upper turnaround parking pad. (**4WD recommended for access to/from upper parking pad, especially when wet. **) Wintertime access by the driveway might not be available due to snow or ice.

With convenience to all Highlands has to offer, guests can stroll down the road to beautiful Glen Falls (about 1 mile), drive one mile to Highlands Country Club, one mile to The Farm at Old Edwards, 3.5 miles to Half-Mile Farm, and only a few minutes’ drive to many beautiful mountain waterfalls and scenic trails in the Nantahala National Forest.  If you’re looking for that memorable mountain getaway near it all, you’ve found it at Glen Falls Cottage. We would love to spoil you.

Perfect!

by Daniel Hulett

Absolutely charming “home in the trees”. So conveniently located near downtown shopping, hiking trails, and ice sledding! We had a blast and wanted for nothing. Driveway is steep, so be prepared for that.

Guest Post-Stay Survey

by Dana K

appreciate the ability to text and after hours key pick up and drop off. .  Loved the beds and linens!  The only thing we really wished for was to be able to fully darken the upstairs bedroom (had the toddler in a travel crib in the upstairs bathroom and didn't realize when booking that the wall to the bathroom doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling).  Really enjoyed the property!  Thank you!

VRBO Review - "Cute house"

by Carla R

This is a very cute house. Everything was very nice. The driveway is very steep. If we had been in my husbands sports car, not sure we would have made it up.  The folks managing the property were very professional and helpful.

VRBO Review - "Top Notch getaway"

by Erik L

This property exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful short getaway to Highlands. The cabin was so well appointed, fully stocked, that it exceeded expectations. If we ever bring our family back to Highlands again, which I plan on doing, I will certainly look to see if this property is available. For anyone considering this property, go for it!

Glen Falls Cottage met our needs perfectly. We had two couples and spent a long weekend. The property was cozy, well furnished and lit and was a convenient drive to the downtown. We would recommend to others. The driveway was very steep, as advertised.

Lovely cottage! Beautiful and great location! The cottage was so cozy and comfortable. All of the furniture and bedding was delightful. The kitchen was well appointed and the porch had many seating options and we enjoyed the grill and fire pit. It was so nice to only have a mile to drive into town. It feels like you are in a tree house on the back deck. Very peaceful, pretty and relaxing. We hated to leave! Thank you for sharing this wonderful retreat with us!

I'd give the place an 11 if I could. VERY well appointed as far as all of the lighting, furniture, and appliances. Loved the sound system. Enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace but heat also worked well. Just a beautiful and comfortable place. We'll be back.Very good with text communication, details on arrival and tips.

Wonderful stay! The house was well appointed and decorated, and the perfect getaway for a long weekend! If you are expecting winter weather, a 4WD vehicle is needed to access the driveway, but we came prepared. Will plan to return!

Glen Falls Cottage was BEAUTIFUL and the perfect getaway location. The home is cozy, secluded and has the best outdoor spaces for drinking wine and enjoying the mountain air. It is a short drive to downtown Highlands. The owners were super helpful and very responsive. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and cozy! Beautiful, cozy house and so close to downtown Highlands. Loved our stay! The only suggestion I have is to make sure you have an SUV with wheel drive for the driveway. The driveway is very steep

We totally enjoyed our stay at Glen Falls Cottage. We decided to cut our trip short due to the anticipated arrival of Tropical storm Zeta. We hope to return again soon.I have rented from Highlands Vacation Rental team on several occasions. The team is always friendly, courteous and quick respond to any problems you might encounter. They are easy to communicate with before and after your stay, as well as keeping you informed with helpful information prior to your stay.
