About this property

Creek side log cabin in the woods.

Authentic log cabin nestled in the woods down a private gravel road sitting beside a babbling brook. The cabin is located on 3 acres of natural woods and landscaped gardens. A large fire pit outside surrounded by Adirondack chairs plus a large wood burning fireplace inside. Wood is provided! The home consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 down, one with en suite bathroom plus 2 more full baths. A great room with a vaulted ceiling and cozy seating in front of the fireplace which joins the dining room with seating for 8. A full kitchen with all the cooking supplies needed looks onto the back deck that sits out over the creek and beautiful garden. A Blackstone gas grill is on the deck. The front porch contains rocking chairs and a swing.. Great hiking in the area (maps provided) including a wonderful local waterfall and swimming hole (Pinky Falls) within walking distance from the cabin. The town of Highlands with world class restaurants, great shopping and grocery stores is a 10 min. drive or less.

Peaceful Home, Tastefully done
This is a wonderful home. Close to Highlands center but just far away enough to feel remote. Big lot on a small quiet road with only 4 or so houses on the road. I've owned a home in Highlands in the past and I felt right at home in this comfortable and well decorated space. Nice outdoor living spaces, front porch and back deck. There were 4 of us, so the the 3 full baths really made a difference. The owner was very friendly and responded to our questions immediately. Will definitely book this one again!!!!

Family Wedding in the Area
We had a family wedding at Flat Mountain Farm which is an incredible venue. This property is adjacent, so the location was perfect. This home is so beautiful and tranquil. Beautiful accommodations. Can't say enough how thankful we were to find this place. Definitely 5 star

I contemplated becoming a squatter
From the moment you walk in you feel right at home. An amazing location, easy to get to both Highlands and Cashier in a short drive. The property itself looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale with beautiful lush gardens and streams. Complete privacy, not a neighbor was seen. The house itself is the perfect cozy cabin. Rain on the tin roof and cool mountain air will guarantee you return home refreshed. Blankets, board games, books. These hosts have thought of it all. My kids are 8 and 10 and I felt perfectly safe with them on the loft area. Younger kids might need more supervising, if you are into that kind of thing on vacay.

Cozy cabin in the woods
This was our first trip to Highlands which was absolutely beautiful. The cabin was in a pretty, secluded setting. It was tastefully decorated offering a warm, cozy feel. We loved all the interesting art and pottery on display. We cooked a lot and appreciated how well equipped and stocked the kitchen was. We would love to return to this beautiful cabin and would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Relaxing and Remote Family Vacation
This house is a gem! The property is magical and our boys (2.5 and 5.5) had a blast. The creek and flat yard area were perfect for playing and exploring. We roasted marshmallows at night and enjoyed watching the birds on the back deck at dinner. We also enjoyed playing in Big Creek right down the road and going to town (just a short 8 min drive away). We can’t wait to come back!

Lovely 4th of July in the Highlands
We had an awesome stay with our two small children. The house had the perfect amount of space for the family and we loved how close it was to so many falls, hikes and town. Will be back!

Great for a relaxing vacation
We were a group of 6 adults with one 2-year-old. The house everything we needed for meal prep. It was nice eating out on the back deck and enjoying relief from 90+ degree heat in Raleigh. Beds, towels, baths, etc. were all clean and it was nice not to have to bring those items. Internet was sufficient for one of us to have a business Zoom meeting during the stay. House is quiet and somewhat remote but close enough to Highlands to get beer, food, etc.

Take me back!
This cabin was everything I envisioned for my family and so much more. We loved the secluded setting, but I also appreciated having neighbors along the road. I booked this particular cabin thinking my children (10, 7 and 4) might enjoy the hammock and little stream in the backyard. I never dreamed they wouldn’t want to leave! I had to bribe them with pancakes from the Blue Bike Cafe to get them into the minivan. Their days started and ended with being barefoot in the creek. And inside was just as magical with plenty of books, puzzles and games to keep everyone busy, along with WiFi and a smart TV so Netflix was just a few clicks away for a rainy afternoon movie. The kitchen was stocked with all sorts of pans, utensils and spices and their was plenty of dry firewood stacked on the porch for s’mores in the fire pit. This was our first family vacation since my husband died a few years ago and, all things considered, it was pretty perfect. Can’t wait to come back next year.

Will definitely return!
Absolutely loved our long weekend in this beautiful home. Pictures do not do the house interior or exterior justice. Outside, from the moment you turn down the gravel road, is like a hidden garden in the lush greenery. Inside is well-equipped for cooking, games, tv, and just relaxing. We spent the most time reading and talking on the lovely back deck, listening to the stream water. 3 cousins (girls ages 8, 10, 11) found lots of places for adventure and playtime. Our hostess was warm and friendly and responded quickly to all of our questions. We will definitely be back!

Christmas Dream
We rented this wonderful home to get away In the hopes of seeing snow for Christmas. And we got our wish! And then some! Idle Speed is even better in person. Truly a home away from home. We hope to return in the summer so we can enjoy the creek and babbling brook that you can see and hear from the back porch. The property manager was very helpful with all questions.
