About this property

Enchanted Cottage - Private, Peaceful, and Only 5 Minutes to Main Street

Welcome to a place of enchantment. This unique cottage, a blend of the Old and the New offers the bliss of the mountains yet all the modern day essentials. Nestled on a ridge in the in-town Mirror Lake Neighborhood, it overlooks 6.5 Acres of wooded privacy from a wonderful 32 foot Living Porch (2/3 covered) with the enjoyment of Humming Birds, Owls, Starry Nights, and Total Peace. A fenced rear yard opens off the porch. It is an easy walk to Mirror Lake and just minutes away from downtown Main Street and all Highlands has to offer.

The Absolutely Divine Master Bedroom with Cathedral Ceilings is separately located upstairs encompassing an incredible vista and wintertime mountain view. We added an "Fabulous New Sky-Deck" right off the Master Bedroom this year. It is the cat's Meow !! The Master Bath with jetted tub is like being in the woods. The Guest Bedroom with Extra Length Twin Beds (which may be joined to make a King) and second Bath, are privately located on the Main Floor. A Charming Music Room, for those who love Piano, is a wonderful retreat also allowing space for additional sleeping (Coleman Mattress) and offers an adjacent Half Bath.

On those chilly evenings the wood burning stone fireplace adds the final touch of what we most seem to enjoy in our mountains. Welcome home !!

**House will be Closed and Winterized for December through March. We will accept reservations for 2022 beginning 1/01/2022.

Idyllic retreat

We loved our honeymoon here at mirror lake. The property was private and fully equipped for staying in a cooking to your hearts content. Specially loved all of that took us to some amazing places in Highlands.

Definitely an Enchanting Cottage

The moment we stepped inside we felt relaxed and in a perfect place to celebrate Thanksgiving in Highlands, NC. The owner’s cottage, decorated with bric-a-brac, antiques, and even a piano, fit our eclectic style and had everything one could need for a brief stay. And in spite of the holiday, the owner was able to promptly replaced a faulty hot water heater. We hope to experience this lovely cottage surrounded by Mountain Laurels in future seasons.

Great Cottage

My wife and I travel to Highlands about four times a year and this was our first visit to this nice cottage. The neighborhood is excellent for walks and access to town. The wood burning fireplace was an extra bonus on cooler evenings. We definitely plan to return here!!

Charming, Cozy, Comfortable and Convenient

We were blessed to have had the opportunity to visit this choice cabin during peak leaf color in Highlands! This cabin/ cottage was perfect for our needs. The privacy was great. The location was convenient to downtown Highlands and all leaf trails/roadways. The fenced yard is invaluable to those of us who travel with a pet! The upstairs master bedroom is like sleeping in a cathedral in the treetops ( and in a couple of weeks should afford a lovely ridge/ Mountain View). June is gracious and kind and responsive. She checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Great trip and experience. Thank you, June.
