Highlands, NC - Cozy fireplace 3 min to posh Main Street, or majestic Dry Falls!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (48)
"We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was everything advertised. The downstairs bedroom is cooler than upstairs but probable only applies in the peak summer months. The only downside is there is really nowhere to walk your dog. And you have to be on your game when exiting the driveway. But overall we would stay there again. "

❤ Cozy Log Cabin w/Stunning View! Waterfall, 3 Fireplaces, Arcade, Stocked!
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (67)
"We enjoyed our stay with friends at the Cozy Cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. We even hiked to the Hidden Falls - be sure to wear good hiking shoes and take hiking sticks because there were several steep spots. Nice to have firewood available for cozy fires in the kitchen or den. The guys loved the retro video game. We would recommend this to others. The manager for the property was quick to respond to our questions in a timely manner."
