Great Apt in the Mts
Had a wonderful stay for four nights in this apartment outside of Highlands, NC. One room garage apartment. Well equipped. Nicely decorated. Even though it was small kitchen was great. Location is perfect for those planning to hike and tour the waterfalls in the area.

Comfortable Stay
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were there for a short weekend for a wedding in town and it was a close by (7 mins to Main Street). The bathroom was great partly because there is a ceiling heater fan of some sort that made showering all the more better since it was a little chilly for a few days. There is WiFi available which we appreciated however cell service is spotty (depending on carrier I am assuming) in some areas. There is a landline just in case! Sue had great communication with me and even messaged me to ensure that I made it there. There's lots of great dining options along Main St, however I do recommend calling in advance to make a reservation - it seems restaurants get filled quickly there. All in all it was a great and comfortable stay for my husband and I. If we ever decide to visit Highlands in the future I am sure we will stay here again.

Great Location and Peaceful Property
Great location, just minutes from downtown Highlands. Sue has created a beautiful retreat with everything you could need. The property is clean and well appointed, and so pretty, inside and out! From the minute we opened the door and headed up the stairs, we found a "Haven of Coziness" for sure! We'd book again when visiting Highlands.

Perfect. Exactly what we needed it to be--romantic and relaxing.
The place and mgmt were great. Very easy to get to, and good location as its proximity to stay. The place was clean and neat, with reasonable duties to upkeep it for the next person as well. It is perfect for relaxation, romance, and restoration. I recommend it!

Weekend mountain getaway
Lovely, well-kept studio space for individual or a couple. Private, with all necessary features accommodations optimized to fit the space. Close to town and great hiking spots. Sue was attentive upon our arrival, texting to verify we did not have any issues, questions, or need anything at all. Would definitely return!

Loved our stay at Sue's!
We LOVED this cozy apartment in the Highlands. It was convenient and close to the town as well as a few hikes nearby. The apartment was clean and so cozy and had beautiful views of trees changing color in the fall while we were staying there. The apartment had everything + more than we needed for the weekend to cook a few meals ourselves and cozy nights in with wine and netflix. Highly recommend!

Amazing and cozy romantic studio with a fabulous bathroom!
The Haven studio was absolutely perfect for us! It is tucked away and close to town and hikes and waterfalls! We loved the coziness of the space. The owners have thought of every little detail, especially the fantastic bathroom and kitchen! We were welcomed by a beautiful bottle of wine and we will definitely be back again! Thank you!!! Highlands is amazing!!!

Terrible Value and Misleading Photos
I highly discourage anyone from renting this cabin. The photos of the cabin are misleading. It's just an old ugly shed, and the room is in an attic. The value wasn't there, especially given the price. The owner was very strict. They had rules for everything. The listing on VRBO also said the cabin had wifi, but the owner of course didn't mention that it was very limited and couldn't be used for anything except checking emails and web browsing. Overall, I would definitely not recommend staying here, there are much better options with much better value.

Beautiful, quiet apartment
I had an extended 6 week stay at the property and overall enjoyed my time there. The inside of the apartment is just as described online - beautiful, clean, cozy, and has a lot of amenities. It is well decorated and has been well taken care of. The only problem I encountered during my stay was multiple issues with parking. The owner has her staff park in the turn around area at the top of the narrow driveway, which makes it difficult to get out of the driveway on weekdays. If you’re just staying for a weekend you shouldn’t encounter any issues. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Highlands Haven of Coziness.

Amazing!!! Cozy, romantic and convenient! Loved it and will be back again!
The Haven apartment has all of the amenities of a high end hotel! But it’s private, clean and so well appointed. The detail is amazing! I highly recommend for a romantic getaway to the mountains. It’s quiet and secluded as well as being convenient to town, waterfalls, hiking and shopping. The kitchen is adorable and the shower is dreamy!!! We want to come again!!!

Charming & immaculate studio apartment
Excellent location, 3 miles from downtown Highlands, quiet (some road noise in the daytime if you have the windows open) with a peaceful view into the treetops. Nicely decorated. Small but well-supplied kitchen, full-size washer & dryer, comfy bed. I stayed for a month and loved it, and hope to stay again. (While I'd prefer a larger refrigerator for a long stay, it was manageable.) As noted in other reviews, you might not have cell-phone service here. Feature, not bug! Plenty of great restaurants in Highlands, of course. For dining in it's easy to swing by Brysons (supermarket) or "Dusty's Rhodes Superette" (try the tomato pie) on the way in from town. Short drive to the Cullasaja Gorge, and even shorter to Glen Falls.

Wonderful Weekend!
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Haven of Coziness for two nights without kids! It was perfect. The place is beautifully decorated with a modern kitchen and very comfortable bed. The apartment had great details (soaps, shower gels, lotions for him and her, etc). It is only a short drive to Highlands and also to numerous hikes to many of the amazing waterfalls in the area. Sue was great to work with and made sure we enjoyed our stay (we even had a bottle of wine waiting for us at our arrival). We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect and close to town
I normally stay in a hotel in Highlands but when most were sold out, I looked for alternatives. So happy I found this apartment. Very clean with all top end appliances and amenities. Especially nice to have a fully equipped kitchen with all you need for meals when you stay in. Secluded and private and yet minutes from everything in town. Sue was quick to help me out on my last minute reservation and I couldn't have been happier. I hope to return and will recommend to anyone visiting the area.

quiet and quaint
This place was perfect for our short trip in Highlands. It was a great size for the two of us, had everything you need and more and is nicely decorated sparing no expenses on details. Sue was easily contacted and easy to work worth, not to mention the place was way more affordable than anything downtown and probably much nicer. Note: there is no cell service in or near the studio but there is well working WiFi and a landline available. Would definitely recommend!

Romantic getaway
My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend in Highlands at the Haven of Coziness! The studio is 7-8 minutes from downtown but you feel totally secluded. The studio was perfect for 2, had so many little details (lavender shower gel, books, games and DVDs, fully stocked kitchen and too many others to name) and the bed was so comfortable. The owner was so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this studio and we can't wait til our next visit!!
