About this property
Highlands Luxe 24-acre Mountain Estate, on Big Creek, Joe Webb Log Cabin
Get away from it all at this glorious private mountain estate known as Big Billy Cabin! This historic and updated Joe Webb log cabin is set on 24 wooded acres, with over 1,300 feet bordering Big Creek and Pinky Falls. The pet-friendly retreat, surrounded by old-growth Hemlocks, is 3 miles to Downtown Highlands. The 3-story cabin has large covered porches perfect for entertaining, 7 fireplaces, a copper soaking tub and Viking range. Big Billy Cabin is truly a spectacular place to make memories!
This magnificent antique home was built by the famous log cabin builder, Joe Webb, between 1929-1931. The homeowners moved the cabin to its current location in 2006 when it was updated and a large addition was added by the equally-renowned log cabin builder, Tommy Chambers.
WiFi | 6 Bedrooms | 5.5 Bathrooms with complimentary Victor Vassier toiletries | Private Stream Access | Pets Welcome
**We welcome pets for an additional pet fee. Please inquire with homeowners prior to booking!**
Boasting over 5,500 square feet of indoor living space, Big Billy sits on 24 private acres and borders over 1,300 feet on Big Creek. (Guests can hike the creek to a local swimming hole known as Pinky Falls.) Recharge and unwind in front of one of the 7 wood-burning fireplaces, or entertain family and friends on the 1,800 square feet of outdoor decking and porches. This quintessential mountain retreat provides ample opportunity to enjoy the wonderful Highlands temperatures day or night. Almost every room in the home has direct access to the beautiful, great outdoors.

Services include: custom itineraries, dinner reservations, recommendations, housekeeping upgrades, anniversary packages, private chef experiences, homemade dinner delivery, tablescapes, in-home spa treatments, chauffeurs, car-detailing services, family game activities, cooking classes, guided hikes, personalized tours, tailored special occasions, holiday decorations, golf excursions, boat tours, adventure expeditions, floral arrangements, shipping and delivery, stocked fridge prior to arrival, and luggage assistance. Upon booking, guests will receive more information on how to access these services. Janet will be in touch prior to your arrival and will be there to greet you when you arrive.
MAIN LEVEL:
The main floor features a spectacular living room that opens onto an expansive covered deck with a large charcoal grill, ideal for relaxing outdoors and watching the sunsets. The eat-in kitchen for 6, is complete with a Viking range and two pantry areas, and provides even the most particular cook with everything they need to create the perfect meal. The large dining room seats up to 14. The primary suite on the main level features birch logs and a handcrafted king bed. The primary bath comes with a copper soaking tub and a stone steam shower. A den with a 60” smart TV / Roku / DVD player, and a second king bedroom with its own bath are also on the main level. A laundry room and computer area/home office round out the large, yet cozy, living space located on the main level.
UPPER LEVEL:
There are two separate, 2nd-floor wings, one on each side of the living room. They are accessible via their own staircase, with hand-pieced laurel railings. Both wings contain a king bedroom and a second bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds (4 twin beds). Each bedroom has its own private entrance, and each wing shares a full Jack-and-Jill bath located between the two bedrooms. Both bunk rooms have a private balcony, perfect for viewing the clear night sky.
GROUND LEVEL:
The lower level is a favorite hang out spot. It features a large open area with plenty of windows and natural lighting and includes a living room, fireplace, game table, piano, media area with 75” smart TV / Roku / DVD player, pool table, and bar. The kitchenette includes a refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, microwave and ice maker. In addition, there is a large bathroom with a shower. All of this opens, via two sets of French doors, onto an outdoor covered stone terrace with a large fireplace and leads to the backyard and the creek beyond.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
**We are proud to offer such a special place for your enjoyment. Please treat our home as you would treat your own. Because of the nature of the structure and antique decor and furnishings, some things may need special care. You are responsible for any damages incurred by those in your party, visitors, children and pets.
**Please note: Guests must declare all members of their party prior to arrival booking. Failure to record the number of guests in your party at booking could result in termination of your reservation without any refunds. We appreciate your cooperation!**
**We recommend trip insurance to protect your investment.
**Your security matters. There are three exterior security cameras at the main points of entry to the home. None of the cameras look into interior spaces or into sitting areas underneath the covered porches.
** There is also an alarm system you may use during your stay.
IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS - This is a great place for kids. However, the property is not child-proofed and may not be suitable for very young children.
Parents will need to provide their own supplies for kids and safety equipment that they feel is necessary. We do however provide a pack n play, high chair, and safety gates at the top of the stairs.
DRIVEWAY- Big Billy Cabin is located off a main road up a hard-packed gravel driveway approximately 1/3 mile long. There is a short, steeper portion of the driveway, but is still accessible for cars without front or all wheel drive. The driveway is well maintained and there has never been a problem with cars getting to the house. In inclement weather however the driveway may become rutted and bouncy in spots. Please let us know if this is the case, and we will send someone to grade it out.
