About this property

French Contemporary - 1.5 miles from Downtown Highlands

Welcome to Truffle Hill! Whether you're visiting Highlands for its festivals, exploring the charming downtown with its shopping, art galleries, and dining, or immersing yourself in nature, Truffle Hill offers the perfect retreat to rest and rejuvenate.

Step inside and you'll immediately feel the calming, zen-like atmosphere we've created just for you. With open spaces and expansive windows, Truffle Hill feels like a serene treehouse, inviting you to relax in cozy nooks ideal for quiet conversations, reading, or hanging out with your family.

While Highlands boasts fantastic dining options, the fully equipped kitchen at Truffle Hill beckons you to prepare anything from light snacks to full meals.

For those who love outdoor spaces, Truffle Hill features not one, but two large patios. The main floor patio is perfect for savoring a glass of wine as the sun sets or enjoying the warmth of the gas fire pit. On the lower deck, a queen-size bed swing invites you to take an afternoon nap or daydream away the hours.

One of the best features of this unique home is the privacy it provides. The lower level is completely self-contained, with its own living area, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette—ideal for families with young children, offering both togetherness and personal space for a sense of normalcy.

For guests needing to mix work and play, one loft on the top floor has a dedicated workspace with a desk. The other loft is equipped with a gym, so you can stay active even while on vacation.

Located just 1.5 miles from downtown Highlands in the gated community of Highlands Falls Country Club, Truffle Hill offers the perfect balance: close enough for easy access to town, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful seclusion. We look forward to welcoming you to Truffle Hill and all that it has to offer!

Perfect holiday getaway for a family

We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was well stocked with pantry staples (seasonings, olive oil, etc.) and cookware/cooking tools to prep all of our meals. The location was perfect as it was just a quick 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands, but we especially enjoyed sitting around the cozy living room with wood burning in the fireplace. We’d definitely stay again!

Fantastic property

This a beautiful home with everything one could want for a family reunion. Kitchen is well stocked and the home is beautifully furnished. I'm not wildly impressed with the town of HIghland which seems very touristy to me especially during the Christmas holidays when we were there, but Asheville and other areas are not far away. Host was easily accessible and I would definitely consider coming back in the Fall.

Escape to the mountains of Highland, NC

I want to thank Lindsay for the amazing spring break experience my family had at her property as we escaped from Chicago to enjoy some peace in the mountains in NC. She was extremely helpful throughout the check-in process and was always available throughout our trip to help clarify and answer any questions. She made the entire process from beginning to end so seamless and smooth. The property was fantastic. Our grandparents met up with us on our trip and the bottom area was perfect for giving them their space (and in some instances their grandkids as well). Everything about the house with the tall windows with the sun peering through to the various sitting areas to the decorations, the bar area, kitchen and patios were exactly what we wanted to compliment our trip in the Highlands. There were plenty trees around the property for privacy and outdoor grass areas for us to run around with our dog and kids playing made-up games when we felt like staying in for the day. We had major plant-envy with the luscious plants throughout the place. We sat and enjoyed a peaceful conversation around the fireplace and embarked on a puzzle with everyone during the evenings while we watched March madness on the TV. We also enjoyed the office space and workout areas as I had a late evening work calls to = attend and also streamed our favorite peloton workouts on the TV upstairs in the mornings. Our only regret was that we couldn't take advantage of the large queen sized swing bed outside during the day due to the weather but that is definitely on our checklist on our 'next future' trip out there hopefully. The property was also conveniently located close to town as the description noted where we could stock up on food and drinks as well as close to several hiking areas that we planned throughout the stay. We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area to re-live our vacation and hope to be back soon. Thank you Lindsay for the wonderful stay that gave us an outlet with our family to get together during the pandemic.

Incredible home in a beautiful place!

I cannot recommend Lindsay’s home enough! We stayed for a week and a half during Christmas and had the most wonderful time in this cozy, beautiful home. The pictures do not do it justice! The layout of the house makes for great time spent together (we spent most nights with a fire roaring playing games) but there is still plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Plus, is fully stocked for everything you might need, including a gym. The location of the house was also perfect - a short drive (~5 minutes) to downtown Highlands with fantastic restaurants, shopping and the Old Edwards Inn and also close to great hiking spots and Cashiers. It was our first trip to the Highlands and won’t be our last! Finally, I cannot say enough good things about Lindsay as a host - she was so responsive and truly went above and beyond. You must stay here!!

Highlands Heaven!

Wow! This is the perfect place to enjoy Highlands and appreciate all it has to offer. When we were looking at properties to rent, this one ticked all our boxes plus was beautifully decorated. I was truly surprised when we arrived and it was even better than the pictures! The layout is perfect for families or those who want to entertain house guests with the comfy basement level suite and two extra guest bedrooms on the second floor. The main floor master was incredibly comfortable with a large, beautiful master bath. The house is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and lots of fluffy towels. The house is light and sunny, and the deck with fire pit was perfect for those chilly mountain evenings. The private backyard provides a beautiful view - truly serene. The location can't be beat - just 5 minutes to downtown Highlands! One of the best parts of our experience was renting from Lindsay. She responded quickly with answers to any questions we had. We cannot recommend enough!

This property was perfect for multi family rental. The basement was a great area for the kids to play and go outside in the yard. We had a few issues during the stay and Lindsay responded within minutes. The kitchen is a bit small for a larger group but other than that a fantastic stay!!

A great place to relax in the mountains

Part French chalet, part NC mountain home - that's the beauty and charm of Truffle Hill. Our family had a perfect week in Highlands over Christmas, in part because of the wonderful home that Lindsay maintains there. Unlike many VRBO homes that feel rather sterile and impersonal, Truffle Hill feels likes someone loves it and maintains as a gift to visitors. The area is great and everything is convenient. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable and beautiful home!

Truffle Hill is by far the most comfortable home we have stayed in. The downstairs living area has an awesome sectional where our whole family watched movies. The upstairs living area was very open so I did not feel cut off from everyone while I was making Thanksgiving dinner. The beds and bedding are luxury quality, and the decorating is lovely and eclectic. The house is in a country club community just a few minutes drive from downtown Highlands. I highly recommend Truffle Hill.

Every bit as beautiful as the pictures!

Lindsay's house is so comfortable and welcoming. We felt like we were living in a tree top! Big open windows and high ceilings made the house feel so spacious, but the way everything was organized made it warm and cozy. We had so much fun sitting on the deck at night enjoying the fire pit. Lindsay was super helpful in giving us tips for the area. She also had so many great touches in the house that made it feel like home. From the well-stocked kitchen tableware and cookware, to baskets of toiletries for the forgetful traveler - she has thought of everything. This place has become my go-to vacation rental when I visit Highlands.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsay Trumpler

Hi! My name is Lindsay and I am young executive in the Sales Training industry. I fell in love with the Highlands/Cashiers area when I attended Western Carolina University. Anyone who knows the area would agree that there is just something "Magical" about it so I knew upon graduating (from WCU) that I'd be back someday. Ten years later, here I am; thrilled to be back and happy to share my home with others who want to explore and enjoy the area.

Why they chose this property

Truffle Hill has an amazing energy about it. It is a perfect retreat for small groups or two families.
