About this property

Witt's End at Mill Creek

Witt's End at Mill Creek is a quaint mountain cottage that is walk to town -- only 2 blocks from Main Street Highlands, NC! Privately set down a small wooded cul-de-sac road, enjoy the in-town convenience but with the sounds of the creek and nature from the screened in porch.
The main living area includes soaring cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows around a stone gas fireplace for lots of natural light in this open living/dining/kitchen floor plan.
The Main level master bedroom offers a King-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Also on this level is a guest bedroom that includes two twin beds and another full bathroom in the hallway. Upstairs is a bonus Master Suite with a King bed and an ensuite bath with a soaking tub.
Off the living room is a spacious screened porch with an outdoor dining area, cozy seating and access to the open deck with grill. Walk down to the lower open deck and relax your day away listening to the sounds of the rushing creek below.

Very Convenient!

We had a lovely stay at this house that is literally 2 minute walk from the main street in Highlands. Beautiful quiet location with a creek right outside the back door. Screened in porch allows a quiet relaxing place to sit and listen to the water sounds. A bit dated bathrooms but very clean and well appointed. Property manager was VERY accommodating and extremely responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay

The cabin is located 2 blocks over from downtown, but right on Mill Creek. Our two kids and dog loved playing in the creek. The cabin is located within walking distance to downtown and short driving distance to many of the waterfalls.

Great Location in Highlands

Wonderful location, short walk to Main Street. Very open and clean, we were four adults and we felt very comfortable and not crowded. Well stocked kitchen with extras such as seasonings and plenty of utensils and cookware. The beautiful sounds of water flowing in the creek heard from the deck and screened porch were nice. It was also nice to be able to bring our dogs with us! Highly recommended.

Great location, nice property

The location of this home is great-walking distance to shops and restaurants. Good communication with the rental company when we had a problem with the downstairs A/C, but no resolution while we were there. It was ok since it was cool out. The house is big with lots of room, and the back porch has a beautiful view of the river.

Nice Place

Enjoyed our stay at Witts End. House was spacious and clean. Fireplace was lovely. I would stay there again. however, for what it costs the driveway and parking area are lacking. One way drive way makes coming and going tricky as there are multiple units along the drive, and parking spaces are limited and tight. It is also not paved, we happened to be there when there was a couple days of rain and it was quite muddy and you couldn't get in or out of your car without stepping in mud or water puddles, not so good for the footwear. Also, the tv situation in the bedrooms could be better, our room had a vintage computer monitor connected to dish network. In the modern era it's standard to have larger, and smart tv's, would've been nice to have better tv setup.
