About this property

NOTE: Bathrooms for two front bedrooms fully renovated as of June 1, 2023!

This charming retreat sits at the top of Hickory Hill Road near Mirror Lake on a gorgeous 1.5-acre piece of property that features a delightful frog pond fed by a bubbling creek at the bottom of the back yard. The snug interior is a combination of heirloom/folk charm and contemporary amenities, including central air conditioning and furnace, Smart TV with YouTube TV for live television, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max. Also, DVD player, washer/dryer, and a full-sized fireplace with ample dry firewood on hand.

The house has three bedrooms – two twins, two queens, and a king – each with its own full bath. The two front bathrooms were recently fully renovated with walk-in showers. The modern master features a cozy king-size bed, expansive bath, walk-in closet, and its own deck. The quaint but dependable kitchen includes a classic stove and range, and all you will need to prepare a delicious meal.

The large screened-in back porch is where you will want to spend most of your time, listening to the wind rustle through the trees, hearing the birds sing, and breathing the clear mountain air. Or enjoy a glass of wine while preparing steaks on the grill (grill replaced June 2023). Follow the path that leads to the secluded pond and you are sure to see more wildlife on the way.

Spring and fall are great times to enjoy the front yard fire pit. Another option is to take a short walk down Hickory Hill to feed the ducks on picturesque Mirror Lake where you might also be inclined to cast a fly rod, or cruise the serene waters in a kayak or canoe. Just beyond Mirror Lake is the new Highlands Plateau Greenway trail that will lead you on a scenic hike along a gorgeous nature trail, or directly into town if you are so inclined.

Loved it

We enjoyed this beautiful 3 bed 3 bath home. It's was decorated nicely with room to spread out. Didn't really mind having to use the ice trays! We would absolutely rent this home again. Locked ourselves out and the owner was very helpful when I contacted her.

wonderful!

My family and I stayed here for a wedding--it was perfect. The house is lovely with a lot of interesting art and decorations. We did have a toddler, so we took a minute to child-proof and put some beautiful but breakable things up higher! We are already planning our next trip and hope to stay here again!

Perfect weekend getaway!

It was the perfect house for a weekend stay! Spacious rooms with a bathroom in each, and the highlight was the peaceful back porch where we spent most of our time. The location of the house was also great with an 8 minute drive from downtown. Would absolutely recommend!
