"My wife and I greatly enjoyed our 2 week stay at "The Hermitage Cottage", which is actually a large home on the outskirts of Highlands, NC. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and is very spacious with a California King size bed in the master bedroom, (very comfortable) as well as several other large beds, and two bunk beds for kids. The kitchen has the most modern appliances, and is well stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, etc. It's just a 10 minute drive from downtown...

"We recently celebrated a friend’s birthday in the Highlands, and this home could not have been more perfect! Plenty of beautifully decorated bedrooms, spacious and comfortable living room, and adequately stocked kitchen. The views from the deck were wonderful, the neighborhood was quiet, and the best part was that we could walk everywhere within minutes. We parked our cars and didn’t need them all weekend. Thank you for sharing your awesome home!"

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (19)
"This is a lovely home located in a very quiet neighborhood! It was the perfect getaway for our family! The house was beautifully decorated and a comfortable size- not too big, not too small. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and dreary/windy during our stay, otherwise we would have really enjoyed the amazing porches. We're already excited to come back in the summer when it is warm so we can take advantage of the nice outdoor space! Thank you!"

"What a lovely Chalet! This was a perfect spot for a little get away for the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and all of the outside lounging areas. There were only two of us, so as far as the beds go I can only comment on the mater bed. Slept great and was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for grilling out on the gas grill. What a great place in a convenient location. Would highly recommend! Thanks Missy for sharing your quaint...

"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."
