About this property

2 bed/1.5 bath cottage, small, well-behaved pets considered

Vale Cottage is a breath of fresh air, literally. This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath rental is at one with all the beautiful foliage that Highlands has to offer. With vaulted ceilings, airy décor, and a big, beautiful bank of windows, its common areas are flooded with morning light and a stunning view of mother nature. Also, enjoy our canoe on Mirror Lake.

The Location: Vale Cottage is located within the Highlands, NC town limits on Dog Mountain. It's just far enough from the beaten path that guests are one with nature but only 2 miles to Main Street and the center of Highlands shopping, dining, and nightlife.

The Property: Vale Cottage is a carriage house that is located on a 2+ acre wooded property. Sitting at roughly 50 feet from the main house, Vale Cottage has a privacy wall and is elevated so guests can relax in the solitude of their own cozy space.

The Cabin: Vale Cottage is newly renovated in 2017 and has all wood ceilings, rustic wood beams, soaring 15' ceilings, and tons of natural light in the common areas. It has a screened porch that overlooks the beautiful wooded yards. Guests enjoy custom cabinetry in the kitchen, reclaimed vanities in the baths, and a NC slate walk-through shower.

The Layout: Access to Vale Cottage is through the cozy screened porch with rocking chairs for two. Guests enter into the large open common area that houses the kitchen with island seating for two, dining table for 4, and the cozy living room. To the right off the common areas are doors that lead to both queen bedrooms. The bathrooms are accessible from both bedrooms and share a shower, while each having their own vanity and toilet area.

The Area: Highlands, NC is the premier mountain destination in the Southeast. Lined with shopping, dining, museums and galleries, the bustling mountain village centering around Main Street is straight from a Norman Rockwell painting. Previously a summer/fall hotspot, it's quickly becoming a year-round destination. At 4,118 feet, it's one of the few temperate rain forests in North America, bringing botanists and nature lovers from all over the world.

Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

The Details: The living room and both bedrooms have flat screen TV's with cable and wifi. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. All of our cabins are pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee. Vale Cottage is a carriage house, meaning it is over a garage for the main house. Renters have full privacy.

This property sleeps 4 adults max.

Vale Cottage

Vale Cottage was the perfect get away for my anniversary. The cottage was clean, the owners gave us our privacy, and had everything we needed to ensure we had a great stay. We even saw a turkey hanging around with us all weekend! Such a great experience and I’m looking forward to staying again with elevate next time I’m craving a quiet escape.

I"m glad I made the mistake of reserving in the wrong year.

It was well organized, well supplied and clean. My only regret--I failed to clean the refrigerator on departing. I would have no reservations recommending Vale Cottage.I"m glad

Absolutely stunning retreat location

Faye and Bill have a beautiful home . It is new, clean and they go the extra mile. The sheets are soft, towels are plush and decor very peaceful and tasteful. The screen porch with rockets is private and perfect place to enjoy nature. We will be back for sure! It is less than 2 miles from town.

About the host

Hosted by Elevate Highlands Luxury Cabin Rentals

We are two retirees in our 50's and 60's who have relocated to Highlands from Georgia. We absolutely love and enjoy our piece of Heaven here in Highlands and look forward to hosting and sharing it with you. Bill has been known to show guests his favorite fishing spots when prompted but we also know how to read our guests and are happy to give complete privacy. Our daughter owns Elevate, which is a boutique vacation rental agency here in Highlands and she manages our bookings.

Why they chose this property

The seclusion yet in town location, clean and updated decor, friendly owners, and affordable pricing set this property out from the rest.

What makes this property unique

While the living areas are flooded with light, the bedrooms have black out shades and you will surely get the best sleep of your life. There is an on-site dry creek that creates the sounds of rushing waters after a heavy rain and the property backs up to the National Forest, making exploring fun!
