About this property
1 Mi to Downtown: Highlands Cottage w/ Sunroom
Find some peace, quiet, and serenity when you book this lovely Highlands vacation rental. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home rests just a mile from the historic downtown area, where you and your loved ones can explore the local antique shops or enjoy a bite to eat. Plenty of stunning waterfall hikes can be found within a quick drive, while the Blue Ridge Mountains are just a short trek away. After a day of exploring, come home for a glass of wine on the porch to close out the day!
