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!

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.

Adorable cottage!

The Adirondack Cottage feels like a beautiful treehouse inside. It had everything we needed. My family of four including two middle schoolers was very comfortable there. The location was great for a stroll to downtown Highlands or to Sunset Rock.

Fabulous!

We loved our stay in the Adirondack Cottage! The cottage is just beautiful and we had everything we needed for our time in the mountains. Loved all the windows so we could enjoy the beautiful trees and rhododendron shrubs. Beautifully renovated, convenient location, cozy and comfortable! We look forward to staying again sometime!

Marvelously appointed, very comfortable and lacking nothing!

This is our second time staying at Adirondack Cottage and we'll be back again! The cottage is unique, architecturally interesting, containing wonderful accommodations and surprisingly complete with many thoughtful comforts. Great location a few blocks from downtown and easily walkable. Cudos to Kristy and thank you again for providing such a great place for us to enjoy and relax!

Perfect in every way!

Kristy’s cottage was perfect in every way and she is the consummate host! The beautiful finishes, decor and spotlessly clean cottage made for such a wonderful stay. The beds are very comfortable with lovely sheets and bedding, which makes all the difference in getting a great nights sleep when you are away from home. The kitchen is a great size if you want to stay in and do some cooking, and there’s plenty of room for several people witjput feeling crowded. I highly recommend this property and hope to return soon.

Great location and gorgeous interiors

Our first visit to Highlands, my husband, little dog and I picked the cottage for the fantastic location - walking distance to town on relatively flat roads. It did not disappoint. From the exterior the cottage looks charming and rustic, but the interiors are stunning and of superior quality!!! Gorgeous architecture, high end finishes, comfortable beds, great linens, you name it....Even better than the photos! Kristy, the property manager was responsive and helpful. We'd definitely book this place again!

Perfect getaway with our furry friends!

Throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful treehouse cabin with our two golden retrievers! They felt instantly at home and comfortable, as did we! The walk to town is so convenient and we appreciated how quiet and friendly everyone in the surrounding neighborhood was. The bedroom was very comfortable and the shower was very nice! We loved all the beautiful windows throughout the home! Will definitely stay again in the future!

Perfection, as always

Our second time staying in the Adirondack Cottage was such a treat. It is truly such a comfortable and serene home base for exploring the area. We walked to Main Street daily and even walked to sunset rock. The location is ideal but what really set this place apart are the comfort inside the cabin. From the inside the shower heater to the cozy fur blankets, every detail is taken care of for optimal comfort and relaxation. We cannot wait for our next visit.

Artist's Studio with a few kinks....

This small scale home has dramatic upward flourishes (a tower with glass over the living room) and lovely fresh design, which is what attracted me to it. But this is a good cover to some serious maintenance issues. The heat is forced air and the dehumidifier (masking what?) which must be left on (but makes noise) creates a drying atmosphere which can attack even healthy sinuses. The hot water was sporadic, one minute very hot, next minute ice cold. We were grateful that the owner sent a plumber when we complained of our cold showers, but on New Year's Eve, with parts on order, there was no easy fix. Owners gave us half off after suggesting we find another venue, but for 70 year olds who had unpacked and a busy week in Highlands, that just didn't seem viable. So, we toughed it out. We "managed" our showers, one minute, soap up, another minute to rinse. If I had just been hiking, fine, but we had plans for our wedding anniversary and New Years and restaurant reservations every night. Hot water needs to be addressed at this venue and perhaps a different shower control. We brought our own duvets so the bedroom was the place to be cozy, because with all the "upward flourishes" the heat is uneven in the living area. Plus side this cabin is well decorated and cozy with a fine kitchen. Downside, maintenance is not hands on with the basic requirements of a home (hot water and heat) not given the attention needed.
