Cozy cabin

Our family of 5 enjoyed a week in this adorable, well-located cabin. The owner has decorated with vintage style wallpapers and a curated collection of paintings, some she has produced herself! We loved our stay.

This is a beautiful cabin located close to downtown Highlands. It is just as welcoming inside as it is outside. We were in awe the moment we pulled into the driveway. The accommodations were so comfortable and we felt like we were “home.” The hosts were easy to communicate with and we certainly plan to book this again!

Scout’s Retreat is the mountain home you’ve dreamed of! Charming and warm with attention to anything a visitor needs to feel welcome. The decor is exceptional with mountain motifs, but tastefully updated. The hosts had a bottle of wine and a big basket of snacks waiting on us. We were invited to take advantage of anything we saw. We plan to rebook next year!

The cabin was very clean and smartly appointed with everything you'll need to enjoy meals in-house. There was plenty of firewood, games and puzzles to have a fun cozy evening. While Mountain Fresh Grocery has an extensive wine selection, their groceries are limited and very expensive. Shop at Bryson's Food Store for a full service grocery store. Dry Falls are a must to visit and an easy walk. Whiteside Mountain Trail is a great 2 mile hike with tremendous views...take some snacks and enjoy the view. We would highly recommend this cabin!

Fabulous stay during artic blizzard

We stayed at Scouts Retreat during the artic blizzard! The hosts were very, very accommodating. They stocked the firewood and decorated the house for Christmas which was such a nice touch. The power stayed on, fireplace roaring and a good time was had by all. The kitchen is very well appointed and the whole house worked fabulously with our adult group. We did hike despite the ice and hit a few restaurants in Highlands which was only 1 mile away (one closed because of no water). We hope to return soon with or without the artic blast.

Perfect for us!

I travel to Highlands/Cashiers area yearly in June & have rented several places looking for just the right place. This is it! This home is warm & inviting, decorated with antiques, nice lamps, good art, & comfortable beds. The kitchen is well-appointed with all the right equipment to cook a meal. And by the way, all is very clean! The owner was very quick to respond when I reached out & was very helpful! Downtown Highlands is about a mile away. This turned out to be great for us as we tend to go into town everyday. I can’t wait to stay again!
