High Hemlock's stunning finishes and unbeatable in town Highlands location make this 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom cabin the perfect spot for an upscale mountain escape. Professionally designed with thoughtful touches at every turn, you and your guests will be able to unwind in privacy without ever being far from the action.
The Location: High Hemlock is located within the Highlands town limits near Harris Lake and behind Mountain Fresh Grocery. This is an area where locals come to walk/jog because it's a on a rare flat loop that is a quick 1/2 mile jaunt to Main Street, where all the shops and restaurants are located.
The Property: High Hemlock is located on a 1/2 acre fenced and wooded lot with a small mossy side yard. Hemlock groves, thick, old growth rhododendrons, and maples add privacy from the street. There are 4 rocking chairs on the front porch that are perfect for bird watching or listening to the peace and quiet or the occasional church bells.
The Cabin: As some of our renters once said, "walking into High Hemlock is like stepping into a Garden & Gun spread." Open the creaky screened door to the subtle smell of firewood and the rhododendrons blooming beside the front porch. The cabin is flooded with natural light. Finishes include all shiplap walls, wide-plank hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with antique wood beams, local slate tile, and the original 1940's Wolf range in the kitchen.
The Layout: From the front porch, guests enter into a large open space that houses the living room with wood burning fireplace on the right, and the dining room for 6 on the left. Both ensuite bedrooms are off of the main living area (one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed). The galley kitchen is to the far left behind the dining room wall and looks out onto the side mossy yard.
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 smart TV's and standard cable channels. We also have wifi. All of the bedding is memory foam- we understand everyone has their preference, but we get lots of compliments on our comfy beds. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. All of our cabins are pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee.
**We cannot be responsible for weather related/ and or personal emergency issues affecting travel. All guests are encouraged to obtain travel insurance.
- "My husband and I were very pleased with our stay in the High Hemlock cabin. The cabin was stylishly furnished and had everything one needed. The interior looked new and meticulously clean. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and warm quilts. The kitchen has all you need to prepare meals, with higher end cookware and knives. We particularly enjoyed the spacious porch with rockers. We definitely would choose to stay here again." - "Our stay at High Hemlock was wonderful. The cabin is cozy, sophisticated, and well appointed. We would definitely stay again!"

Excellent view from the living room. We spent most of our time on the spacious deck reading snd enjoying the view." - "Everything from booking the property to check in was super easy. Only complaint, if any was the fire place not producing enough heat. We did experience colder than normal temperatures. Stunning view from the property. Do recommend. If you are into star gazing, down load a star gazing app. Tons of "new" stars were visible to us. The property itself had lots of upgrades in its furnishings. Stunning property inside and out. Road up to the property isn't too winding or steep. If we revisit the area, we will stay here again."

Comfortable bed. Location was very close to down town.. now finding the unit was frustrating.. It was not labeled from the street and you really had to be careful due to oncoming traffic around the bend..we had family also in town and they picked us up from the unit, they were not on the premises very long and a man that did not even introduce himself showed up and asked if we had 2 cars on the premises which we responded no that they were simply picking us up..with that being said, they are monitoring your comings and going.. we probably would stay in this unit if we came to the area again."

Our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cedar post and beam house, is nestled in the Nantahala National Forest. Come stay in any season - experience the beautiful blooms of spring, beat the heat of summer, enjoy the bright colors of fall foliage, and romp in the snow of winter.
There are 30 acres of beautifully maintained property. It is surrounded by beautiful forest which will beckon you to explore. Access trails to the Bartram Trail are only steps from the front gate. This area is heaven for hikers with an abundance of trails that range from easy to difficult.
Bird watchers can also experience great adventures trying to identify the huge array of species in the front yard! There are barred owls, scarlet tanagers, cedar waxwing and worm eating warblers, just to name a few. However, nothing beats the morning and evening song of the melodious wood thrush.You can relax on the front deck and watch deer graze, turkey wander, and red tail hawks soar. The expansive view from the deck looks at Scaly Mountain, NC.
Our home is very comfortable and spacious with lovely décor. The large master suite has a king and the loft bedroom has a queen bed. There are two full baths, one with a relaxing claw foot tub. There is a fully equipped kitchen. (but the gourmet fare in the town of Highlands, NC, is well worth the 30-minute scenic drive.)
There are many local attractions that include zip lining, mountain coasters, gem mining, white water rafting, fly-fishing, hiking, the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, winter tubing, skiing and snowboarding, ice skating, scenic drives, The Blue Ridge Parkway, and live theatre at the Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center in Franklin and The Highlands Playhouse in Highlands.
Back at home, if you find yourself inside, there is also a HD flat screen and High Speed Wi-Fi with Roku Streaming.
Enjoy a holiday at “Spoon Rest”. We think you’ll want to return again and again.

We recommended Mama G's Italian Restaurant in Clayton GA. Thank you Bill and Heidi for wonderful time and hospitality. Hope to stay again! Rober & Alicja and Lenny"

Park the car and forget about your worries in this recently renovated retreat. With a king bed and full bath on one side of the great room and two twins and a full bath on the other, it's a great space for friends or family.
Only two blocks from Main Street, you can wake up and walk to town for a hot cup of coffee, world class shopping, a day at the spa, ice cream shops, great restaurants, or take a short trip to countless outdoor adventures.

Walk anywhere!! In-Town Property.
I can't think of a better place to be than Highlands, NC. The only thing better is a location with the ability to walk everywhere in town and be above a Wine Shoppe! You will access to our Main St. facing front yard with fire pit, tables and chairs. The end to a perfect evening is having a glass of wine while sitting by the fire pit.
Our apartment was remodeled in 2017. Most of the work was done by my Father (a retired Highlands builder). We wanted to keep the characteristics of Highlands but offer modern amenities. Our property is #1 on the Historical Registry for Highlands.
- "Perfect location and parking for downtown Highlands. Great weekend getaway without the kids. Well kept and plenty of space." - "The location is amazing right in downtown. Loved staying here!" - "Comments for owners: Provide HVAC instructions, repair deck board, provide shower soap. Ideal location, outstanding kitchen, enjoyed firepit and wine." - "This place is cheaper than most hotels in the area with room to stretch out, including a living room and a full kitchen."

- "The house was lovely, clean and accomodating, esp. how thoroughly appointed the kitchen was, with great cookware, storage, etc. The fridge was wonderful, and we loved the lighting. We enjoyed sitting on the porch gazing at the mountains. The location of this house was very close to our destinations, groceries, etc. The only difficulty was the heat buildup upstairs (the air conditioning vent in the upstairs closet was inadequate to cool the bedroom and sitting area, and we were uncomfortable using it, including sitting to watch television. We feel this should be remedied or a the very least included in the description of the home on VRBO. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay."

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.
**We cannot be responsible for weather related/ and or personal emergency issues affecting travel. All guests are encouraged to obtain travel insurance.

We especially enjoyed the deck and some evenings we used the outdoor fire - We rarely used the upstairs tv area as we were too busy walking and playing pickle ball and reading - a totally relaxing stay getting out of the heat at home. Owners were available if there were questions- I would highly recommend renting this property."

- "This cabin is VERY well done. The sheets/linens are very nice and the place is stocked with almost everything. If this cabin had a stackable washer/dryer, it would be perfect." - "I stayed in the "Happy Place" property with my husband and 19-yr-old daughter. We found the home to be just as clean as all the reviews said and maybe even cleaner! Cindy made the check-in so simple and even messaged me the next day to make sure we were fine and to see if we had any questions about anything. Everything was in perfect working order and I was impressed with the "smart" features like multiple USB ports in each room for charging devices. The inside of the house looks brand new from floor to ceiling and had all the comforts of home. You can tell that the owners have worked very hard and spared no expense to restore the home. The house was very easy find and was close to town which was nice, however, it sits right on top of a very busy road. The front porch is so nice and big and I was picturing myself taking the perfect nap there, but the road noise was not to be ignored. No one took a nap on the porch but the traffic would die down in the evenings and it was more peaceful then. In fact, I've never seen so many lightning bugs so that was fun! It was amazing to see! Overall, it was a wonderful getaway. Thank you Cindy for being such a wonderful hostess!!"

In case you need help or directions, the owners stay in a private unit below when in town. Last but not least (maybe first) rest and relaxing come easy with lovely views and beautiful sunrises. Some folks just decide to hang around and enjoy!
- "You search and search on VRBO for just the right place. You stare at the pictures repeatedly, study the location on the map, and wonder if the view is really that good. You can stop now. This home really is that good. The location is amazing and the view is sublime. Perfect for 2 couples. To get a porch and view like this so close to town is very difficult. We immediately signed up for next year. That should tell you everything." - "We built so many special memories while spending 4 days here. The host provides everything you need for a great experience. The views and sunrises are spectacular. We look forward to coming back. Thanks for your hospitality. John and Sandy"
