Surrounded by the lush foliage by which this 3-level private mountain retreat get its' name, The Loblolly sits on almost 8 acres and is located approx. 8 minutes from downtown Highlands. This is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath log cabin that has year-round panoramic views of Brushy Face and Satulah Mountain.
On the main level, you will find the open kitchen and dining room divided by a stone fireplace, with access to the rear covered porch that spans the length of the house. Around the corner is the main living room with another stone fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. A (King) bedroom and full bathroom share a small hallway on this level as well.
Upper level has a spacious Master Suite with a King bed and attached full bathroom, as well as 2 Queen bedrooms next to another full bathroom.
Downstairs features a cozy lower den with a large couch, a high-top card table, antique fireplace, and access to laundry units and a second covered porch. There's also a 5th bedroom with two twins that sits at the base of the stairs.
Outdoors, the double-decked porches extend the entire length of the backside of the home for guests to enjoy many leisurely afternoons admiring the mountain view in the cool Highlands air. The paved driveway ends in a small firepit seating area to enjoy the warmth of a smoky campfire next to this peaceful mountain home.
No more "Pine"-ing for a mountain vacation -- book a stay at The Loblolly! ;)

--It is suggested to have an AWD vehicle. The paved driveway starts right off of the highway but has a steep downhill to the house which may be difficult to navigate in adverse weather.--
