Lakefront Cabin, 2 bedrooms downstairs, 2 upstairs in loft - Sleeps 6

Enjoy a peaceful cabin getaway on Apple Lake, 5 minutes from Highlands, NC. Highlands is a small charming mountain town with great restaurants, spa, theater, music concerts, and shopping. At over 4100 feet in elevation, there is rarely a hot summer night. This cabin has large cathedral ceilings, and a huge wood burning stone fire place. You are minutes from scenic waterfalls and hiking trails. Enjoy cooking your own meals, paddle a kayak on the lake or fish for bass or brim from a private dock. Enjoy eating on the covered porch or two decks, and watching the hummingbirds fly by. Wonderful for a family vacation or romantic getaway!

The deck over the lake was the highlight! What an amazing bonus. It was our first time to the Highlands. Our visit exceeded our expectations. When we first arrived the house it did have a bit of a “pet friendly” smell but it did not last. I wish the upstairs had more privacy and separation so the adults could stay up later in the living room but as it turned out with all the hiking and outdoor activities we did during the day, us parents were ready to go to our room when the kids were ready to go to sleep. I would absolutely stay here again! I highly recommend this home.

Wonderful cabin

My husband, pup and I had a lovely stay! The cabin is cozy and has everything you need for a stay in the mountains. Location is ideal with town just a few minutes away and central jump off spot to get to many great hikes in the area. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Highlands Stay on the Lake

We had an incredible month at this great lake cabin in Highlands. The house was incredibly clean, especially for being a cabin in a wooded area. It had literally everything you need for an awesome getaway — fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, plenty of room to stretch out, kayaks, life jackets, books, movies and games galore. The location is very close Main Street, Cashiers and everything Highlands has to offer. Mary was a great hostess and responded incredibly quickly when we had a question. As some had mentioned, the driveway was a little hard to navigate the first time you pull in, but you just back in and then it’s a cinch. We had such a great time and did not want to leave.

Great Experience

Loved the house. It's an open and airy design, so with kids, it could get a bit noisy. Lovely property. Recommend using the fireplace. We bought a pallet of kiln dried Oak from the landscape company right down the road and burned the whole thing. Super nice.....

A little hidden but charming

The house is simple but still offers all you need. Pond behind is nice and is fun to fish. The road up and down the mountain into and out of Highlands can be unnerving. Especially when all the workers coming in or leaving Highlands.

Great place to stay

This house was amazing, a true hidden gem. Minutes away from both downtown and great hiking trails! The outside porch and dock are a great outdoor relaxing areas. The home had everything you need, very clean. We spent most of our time hiking, longest drive was about 30 minutes away. The owners were very responsive with all questions. If you pass up renting this house it will be a mistake.

Beautiful lakeside cabin

If you are looking for a cabin in the North Carolina mountains, this is your place. It’s close to the downtown area and on a private lake. It has everything you need for a relaxing retreat. We arrived at peak leaf changing season and checked in with no problems. A special treat was the twinkle lights around the porch. Poo poori was a nice touch in the bathrooms; fireplace was awesome for us Floridians. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and even spices. It has a very nice walkway down to the dock of the lake. My husband counted 50 steps. The beds were comfortable and one bathroom had a jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch overlooking the lake. The location was awesome.

Lakeside Tranquility in the Mountains

This is a perfect house in a perfect location. The owner has provided everything you could need, from area guide books and walking sticks, to cuddly furniture and a big-screen TV with cable for chilly nights, to bottled herbs for cooking. We had a hard time getting ourselves off the beautiful deck after coffee in the morning - the hummingbirds provided a great show at the feeders, and view of the woods down to the lake was lovely. The photos don't do it justice.

Delightful Lake Home!

Our family (including dog) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Mary Ann is a fantastic host, and was super responsive to the one minor issue that occurred when we were there. The pictures don't do the home justice, as it is actually more spacious than it appears. We stayed for 5 full weeks and the use of the lake for fishing and kayaking was an added bonus for our teenage daughters. Look forward to staying again sometime!

Great Vacation

Lovely house. Excellent location close to Highway 64. This was appreciated as many Highland rentals can be remote. We enjoyed having our dog with us. The deck was great to hang out on and had a gate so we didn't have to worry about our dog wandering off. There is a quiet road next to the property and we were able to walk our dog on a one mile loop on days when we did not take her with us. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. The owner was accessible when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, plenty of family room, great kitchen

We stayed here for a wedding in the Highlands. The kitchen was great, I found all the cooking utensils and containers I needed for every meal. The porch enclosure was great for pets and the pond was very pretty in the fall. If you stay for several days or have a lot of people, you may want to consider taking your trash, recyclables throughout your stay versus waiting till the end. It is really close and not a big deal, just didn’t think about taking it throughout. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay again!
