Everything we needed for a long weekend!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s not a far drive from town and was convenient to my son who only lives a mile down the road. Had a little confusion on check out time since VRBO had two different times and refrigerator had conflicting info as well. The owner was super nice and understanding, but make sure you confirm if unsure. The property is a little quirky, and smaller living room area may not have worked for a longer stay, but very clean and kitchen was fully stocked to have a nice family meal together.

Perfect home for our needs

Everything was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was very nice. Great location between Highlands and Cashiers. Just far enough off the main road to make it quiet and peaceful, but not too far to feel out of the way.

Highlands Stay

Nice place that we booked for 4 nights and were only able to stay night 1 due to emergency and had to head home. contacted owner if partial refund was possible. No reply. So it was an expensive one night stay but will definitely book again when we re-visit

Great Highlands VRBO!

We enjoyed our stay at Garrard's property in Highlands. The location was excellent. We loved the porch overlooking the woods; unfortunately we didn't have lots of time to spend there. The house could use a little refurbishing, but it had everything we needed!

Fantastically located and well-equipped

We came to Highlands for a wedding weekend. Luckily we found this great place a short drive out of town and about 1.5 mi from the venue. We loved the expansive deck and hot tub as well as the generally serene setting. Details we loved — comfy beds, well functioning equipment (washer/dryer, keypad, ice maker, windows that easily open and close), and a kitchen stocked with things you want on hand like coffee filters, salt, pots and pans, Etc. Just note the house is quite close to others so you’ll hear your neighbors and perhaps some traffic from the nearby road. We’d all stay again happily

Peacful and Quiet Mountain Retreat!

Loved this vacation rental that we've enjoyed for two summers in a row! The back and side porch overlooks the woods and you can hear a distant stream. Very peacful. Hottub is a plus. Needed to communicate something with the owner and received an immediate response. Parking on the side is tight, but manageable. Will stay again!

Cozy and nice

The house is cozy, warm and nice. Very comfortable for the two of us. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom closest to the hot tub which made our weekend. Check-in couldn't be any easier. If I had to pick on something, it would be the tight parking for a full size truck. I would stay again the next time we visit Highlands.

Excellent last minute get-away!

Excellent stay! My girlfriend and I took a last minute trip to Highlands NC for her birthday and was glad to see this location was available. Easy to get to and only about a 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands. Very clean and alot of deck space where you can hear the waterfalls of a nearby creek. House is well furnished. We didn't know what to do with the dirty towels, so we placed them in the washer; hope that was ok. There are five or so other houses in this small community, but all have their own privacy. We were the only ones staying the weekend we were there. Loved the house. An excellent choice if you're looking for something close to the Highlands without being right in the middle of it all.

The location is great.

This was my 3rd stay at this property. I really love the house and location. It could use some minor things updated,Carpet is past it's prime. Shower curtains could use an upgrade. Ceiling fan in the living space has no chain to turn the speed down or off. The washer and dryer are nice, the lint screens on both dryers are in need of replacement. I am interested in staying again next year. Hopefully these things can be addressed. It is such a peaceful place.

Great for a relaxing long weekend

We booked this property as a last-minute trip for a long weekend. It was clean and comfortable, and the location was great - just a short drive into town. However, the listing should make it clear that it is in a "cluster" of 6 cottages so that if you are really looking privacy, this might not be for you. For our purposes, this was not an issue because only a few of the cottages were occupied but just keep it in mind. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Garrard Adams

I am a young professional who lives in Atlanta. I bought this property to have a weekend get a way place that was a short drive from Atlanta. I live in the Vinings area of Atlanta and can be at my Highlands place in two hours and 15 minutes door to door.

Why they chose this property

I bought my house in Highlands as an investment. The town of Highlands continues to grow and attract a sophisticated yet casual group of successful visitors and home owners. The Highlands community is very cordial and offers everything from live theater to antique shopping and other great retail stores. Highlands Main Street has been called the Worth Avenue of the mountains. Main Street offers everything from screw drivers to fine dining to estate jewelry and home accessories.

What makes this property unique

High Cotton Cottage offers many great benefits to enjoy during your stay. The cottage is located on a hill which over looks Buck Creek. You can hear the soothing sounds of the creek from my decks and many rooms of the house. The cottage is very cozy and has a stone fireplace with a gas starter. The hot tub on the rear of the house looks off into the woods for total relaxation and enjoyment. The cottage is located in a private neighborhood owned by a group of five families who are all friends.
