About this property
Artist's Studio In The Treetops, Walk Everywhere, Canoe Access, Dogs OK
Adirondack Cottage is quaint at its finest. This 2 bedroom/1 bathroom cottage is described by most as "the treehouse" and it won't take you long to find out why. Featuring soaring 20 foot ceilings and flooded with natural light, you'll reside in style while being within walking distance to everything Highlands, NC has to offer.
The Location: Adirondack Cottage is located within the Highlands, NC town limits near Harris Lake and behind Mountain Fresh Grocery. This is an area where locals come to walk/jog because it's a on a rare flat loop that is a quick 1/2 mile jaunt to Main Street, where all the shops and restaurants are located.
The Property: Upon arrival at the property, guests are greeted by a beautiful grove of Hemlock trees. There is a small parking area that allows for 2 cars and to the left, guests will climb roughly 10 stairs to enter the cottage. Aptly named Adirondack Cottage, it's here, at the top of the stairs where 2 red Adirondack chairs adorn the front porch.
The Cabin: A former artist's studio, the cottage will channel your inner creativity. From it's antique windows and cedar shake exterior to the spa-like slate shower, this cozy cabin has big character. It's privatized by the screens of old growth rhododendrons that surround the cottage from all sides, giving it the feel of being in the trees. The interior features soaring 20 foot ceilings, lots of skylights, and wood walls. Unique decor, colorful accents, and attention to detail take the charm to another level.
The Layout: From the front porch, guests enter into a big, open L-shaped space with 20 foot ceilings. The kitchen is straight ahead with a small bistro table and the living area to the right. Past the living area, there is a small hallway, complete with built in bookshelves. The bathroom with sizable shower is accessible from the hallway, with the main bedroom being at the end of the hallway. The guest bedroom access is adjacent to the common area, beside the bistro table.
The Area: Highlands, NC is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it's quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it's one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world.
Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.
The Details: The living room and master bedroom both have flat screen smart TV's and standard cable channels. We also have wifi. All of the bedding is memory foam- we understand everyone has their preference, but we get lots of compliments on our comfy beds. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. This property is pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee.
