Glen Falls Cottage - Mountain Getaway

This gorgeous cottage is nestled high up in the trees is less than 5 minutes to main street Highlands NC and has everything you need for a wonderful Highlands getaway.  The tastefully decorated cottage has soaring cathedral ceilings and a large wall of windows looking out onto picturesque hardwoods and hemlocks. The beautiful high-end kitchen includes a WOLF gas oven and range for the gourmet chef, beautiful granite countertops, seating for two at the kitchen island, and a large kitchen table for six.  

A cozy reading nook at the top of the stairs overlooks the well-appointed kitchen, large great room and wood burning fireplace below.  Two master bedrooms each with King size beds and ensuite baths provide comfortable and private accommodations for the most discriminating guests.   

During the day, enjoy the western facing open deck to soak up the fresh mountain breezes and beautiful sunsets. On a rainy mountain day, curl up on the covered deck with a book and listen to the rain on the tin roof.  Evenings are special at Glen Falls Cottage whether you choose to gather around the outdoor fire pit and plan your gourmet dinner “in”, or choose to take advantage of the many exclusive dining experiences in nearby Highlands. 

Perched on a hillside, access to this treehouse paradise is via the steep mountain driveway with flat lower turnaround parking pad and flat upper turnaround parking pad. (**4WD recommended for access to/from upper parking pad, especially when wet. **)

With convenience to all Highlands has to offer, guests can stroll down the road to beautiful Glen Falls (about 1 mile), drive one mile to Highlands Country Club, one mile to The Farm at Old Edwards, 3.5 miles to Half-Mile Farm, and only a few minutes’ drive to many beautiful mountain waterfalls and scenic trails in the Nantahala National Forest.  If you’re looking for that memorable mountain getaway near it all, you’ve found it at Glen Falls Cottage. We would love to spoil you.

Don’t underestimate the driveway comments
Property was great, location was great, but do not underestimate the other reviewers’ comments about the driveway. We spend a lot of time in this area (and are well versed in mountain driving here and in Colorado), and have never come across an issue like this before. We struggled to ascend the driveway in dry conditions without all wheel drive, and even my brother-in-law’s AWD suv struggled to get to the top. Would likely not rebook for this aspect alone. Overall good experience, but beware the driveway. The walk from the road would be too far in the cold with young children.

Cute house.
This is a very cute house. Everything was very nice. The driveway is treacherous. If we had been in my husbands sports car, not sure we would have made it up without damage. There was no going out for a walk without driving down. Just too dangerous for older folks. The folks managing the property were very professional and helpful.

Great Get-Away
My husband, brother, sister-in-law and I had a fabulous time in this cottage! It is perfect for 2 couples and the extra 1/2 bath is an added bonus. Perfect location, private, and well stocked! There were only a few issues.....first, I was very hesitant to book this property because there was NO cancellation policy at all! I took my chances and waited until it was closer to the travel dates and then booked it. Luckily it was still available. Second, the drive way is VERY steep but as long as you have an AVD, you should be fine. Third, the house seems very dark despite the beautiful light fixtures, especially in the upstairs bathroom. Other than these things, the house was amazing and we would definitely stay again! We also met and toured 2 of the other houses in this small quaint area which were equally as beautiful and are going to be available for rental soon.

Top notch getaway
This property exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful short getaway to Highlands. The cabin was so well appointed, fully stocked, that it exceeded expectations. If we ever bring our family back to Highlands again, which I plan on doing, I will certainly look to see if this property is available. For anyone considering this property, go for it!

Well appointed and updated rental
We loved the Holt Cottage. Great size and location with a fully stocked kitchen which is rare with so many rentals. Appreciate the outdoor furniture. The one drawback is the driveway. Very steep and not all vehicles will be able to park by the house. Not a good choice for anyone who has any mobility issues.

Lovely cottage! Beautiful and great location!
The cottage was so cozy and comfortable. All of the furniture and bedding was delightful. The kitchen was well appointed and the porch had many seating options and we enjoyed the grill and fire pit. It was so nice to only have a mile to drive into town. It feels like you are in a tree house on the back deck. Very peaceful, pretty and relaxing. We hated to leave! Thank you for sharing this wonderful retreat with us!

Wonderful stay!
The house was well appointed and decorated, and the perfect getaway for a long weekend! If you are expecting winter weather, a 4WD vehicle is needed to access the driveway, but we came prepared. Will plan to return!
