Beautiful cottage with a short walk to town

The Adirondack Cottage was everything we hoped it would be for a quick getaway! It's super comfortable, beautifully decorated, quiet & serene, and also close to town. We loved having coffee on the front porch each morning and the proximity to town and the nearby hikes. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be back!

Home away from home

This is our 4th year renting from Kristy and our 3rd at the Adirondack Cottage. Everything we need for an amazing two week stay is provided. If you cook, you have what you need. If you just want to eat out, this house is a few minutes walk to downtown Highlands for all your shopping, dining and entertainment needs. Even our pup feels at home when we arrive.

Cozy cottage with an easy walk to town

We’ve stayed at the Adirondack Cottage multiple times and absolutely love it. The home is incredibly cozy and has everything we need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Check-in and check-out are always super straightforward. We especially enjoy sitting out on the front porch—it’s so peaceful and the perfect spot to unwind. The location is ideal, just a short walk to town for restaurants and shops. Overall, it’s always a great experience and we look forward to coming back again!

I don’t want people to find out about this cabin

We’ve been visiting and renting in Highlands for nearly forty years. Adirondack Cottage is hands down is the coolest, coziest, cleanest, cabin within walking distance of Main Street. Living in Greenville, SC means an easy drive to Highlands for us and we’ve rented from Elevate multiple times in the past 5 months. Can’t say enough positive things about the property and the owners.

The comfiest cabin I’ve ever stayed in!

The comfiest cabin I’ve ever stayed in, they provide everything you’ll need during your stay, everything in the cabin looks brand new. The hostess was really helpful with everything we needed. It was a great experience and I hardly recommend it!
