About the host
Hosted by Koble Delmer
Welcome to Flat Mountain Farm, a historic rhododendron farm located 2 miles from the charming hamlet of Highlands, NC. Chris & Margaret Shutze moved to Highlands with their two young boys in December of 2019. They purchased the property from an eighth generation Highlander who had created a magical, rustic paradise over 40 years. Even though it was run down and in need of repair, they saw huge potential in the antique log cabins & barns. Fast forward to 2025, when the Delmer Family purchased the property and are continuing to run it as a vacation rental property and wedding and event space.

What makes this property unique
Flat Mountain Farm is located 2.2 miles from town, about an 8 minute drive from Main Street in Highlands. The farm is 9 miles from Cashiers, about a 15 minute drive. It is a quick stroll down the street to local swimming hole, Pinky Falls and a quick drive up the street to Ranger Falls, a beautiful hike by a waterfall that ends at a large lake.
The Kingfisher cabin is nestled into the woods, next to a year round stream with rhododendrons, mountain laurel and has its own private pond, stocked with mountain trout. We provide fishing poles and you are welcome to eat any fish you catch.
