About This Home

This incredible property checks all of the boxes! Conveniently located between Highlands and Cashiers, this well maintained 3 bedroom/3 bath cottage feels like an ultra-luxury treehouse with its large screened porch, private woodland setting and the soothing sound of the adjacent mountain stream. The home offers two principal suites on separate floors, with a third bedroom on main and an expansive loft area overlooking the large open living area with stone fireplace. This small, wooded community offers easy/paved access, the ability to rent short-term and is just minutes from the fine shops and dining that both Highlands and Cashiers have to offer. Perfect to enjoy as a charming mountain home, an income property or a combination of the two. Community amenities include a creekside picnic area and stocked pond. The property is offered furnished for turnkey enjoyment and use.
