About this property

Beautiful Highlands cabin! 8 min to town-Pet friendly-lots of outdoor space

Little Pine House is a beautiful 1950 cabin located in a private neighborhood called Flat Mountain Estates. It is in a cul de sac neighborhood, so there’s no thru traffic. It’s great for walking with mountain views at the top, and Ranger Falls and Cliffside hiking trails are just around the corner. The home is a beautifully updated one level ranch home with lots of its original charm. It is on a nicely landscaped flat lot with lots of privacy and outdoor space. Great for pets and relaxing, and the outdoor porch with wood burning fireplace is always a favorite spot. There is plenty of parking for 4 or more cars, and we are located near the front of our neighborhood, so it is very easy access with no steep hills. Less than 10 minutes from downtown Highlands, and 15 to Cashiers. The adorable town of Clayton is close by too. Oak Steakhouse is just 4 minutes away down Flat Mountain rd in the Skyline Lodge. We love everything about this spot, and sincerely think you will too!

This house was a great home base for our first trip to Highlands. We stayed over the week of Christmas - Jennings prepared the house beautifully for the holidays, and the indoor and patio fireplaces made it so cozy.

This was a perfect place to stay for a quick getaway with my cats and close friend. The hosts thought of every possible convenience you may need. The home is cozy and decorated so nicely with a real attention to detail which I really appreciated. The Christmas decorations were also quite nice. Lovely, clean cozy place. We hope to go back!

Quiet, private, cozy retreat. Super well stocked and comfortable furniture. Definitely one of those cabins where you are just as happy to stay home as you are to go hiking or head into town. We will definitely return!

Peaceful Cabin House

With a busy wedding weekend schedule, it was nice to come back to the cute and peaceful cabin home to relax. While it was in a neighborhood, we had the feeling we were in a secluded area as we sat out in the screened-in porch in front of the fireplace. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Such a nice cabin!

It's a wonderful place to visit. A very eclectic cabin set in the woods, it has a fully equipped kitchen (appliances, pans, utensils, spices... the works!). 4 adults with plenty of room. We certainly enjoyed sitting on the screened porch with the fireplace going. Highly recommended.

Loved the house and location. Nice walks and hikes right out the front door. The hosts thought of everything. All of the light switches and kitchen things were labelled so it was very easy to find things. Fully stocked coffee bar was an added bonus. Sat outside in the hammock several times. Communicate was prompt and helpful. 10/10

Relaxing stay!

Very cozy house making it easy to relax and unwind. Although the weather was mostly wet and rainy the house was so comfortable and inviting with the fireplace on porch and the games in the cabinet. We caught up on some Christmas movies and enjoyed cooking a nice meal in the well equipped kitchen.

Jennings our Hostess was always at Hand, we communicated frequently not because of any problems, but because she was engaging and knowledgeable of all things on that side of the Highland Plateau. The provisioning of the cabin was beyond every expectation. From the smallest detail to special pet blankets for the bed, all was available. The instructions and labeling of how everything worked and to what was where was clear and I insightful. As one could say “ the devil is in the details! She covered them all. We home to return to the cabin next year and hope that life allows that to happen for us. You willNot be disappointed! B & B
