The Settlement, Fast WiFi, Fireplace
The Settlement is Nestled in one of the most picturesque regions of North Carolina, a beautiful cabin less than 4 miles from downtown Highlands. This inviting retreat pulls you in with its promise of relaxation and rejuvenation, making it an ideal getaway for families, friends, or couples seeking to escape the bustle of everyday life while still so close to all the dining, shopping, waterfalls and hiking Highlands has to offer.
Upon entering the single level cabin, guests are immediately welcomed by a bright and airy interior adorned with an open layout that exudes warmth and comfort. Buttery soft leather sofas invite you to sink in and unwind, making the living space the perfect place to gather and create cherished memories. The cabin features two wood-burning fireplaces—one indoors, offering a cozy ambiance for chilly evenings, and another on the screened deck for relaxed outdoor gatherings. Whether sipping a glass of wine or enjoying a laugh over board games, the melting aroma of firewood transforms every evening into a magical experience.
For those who enjoy cooking, The Settlement houses a culinary delight of a kitchen, equipped with everything you need to whip up delightful meals. The spacious kitchen invites culinary creativity, whether one is preparing a hearty breakfast to start the day or a gourmet dinner to celebrate a special occasion. Each mealtime transforms into a celebration with the backdrop of tranquil woodland views and the occasional serenade of nature.
One of the cabin's highlights is undoubtedly the screened deck, where outdoor dining turns into an indulgent experience. The splendid views of the surrounding mountains create a serene setting for meals or simply enjoying a quiet moment. As the sun sets, comfortable outdoor furnishings allow guests to recline while watching TV or sharing stories under the stars. The space embodies the essence of outdoor living while still providing protection from the elements.
This remarkable cabin comfortably accommodates families and groups with three cozy bedrooms. The master suite, featuring a plush king-sized bed and an en-suite bath, offers a private sanctuary away from the world. Opposite the living room are two additional bedrooms: a charming double queen room at one end of the hall and a spacious king guest room with private deck access at the other. These bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, ensuring ample convenience for all guests.
The expansive property offers a sense of privacy that's hard to find elsewhere, making it perfect for nature lovers. With a small creek nearby and lovely, quiet roads through the neighborhood, you can take leisurely strolls with your furry companions, allowing for quality time outdoors while soaking in the fresh mountain air.
Even in this serene retreat, staying connected is easy with high-speed fiber optic WiFi. Whether you need to catch up on work or want to share your adventures with friends back home, this cabin keeps you connected to the outside world. Additionally, the whole-home generator ensures that your stay remains uninterrupted, even during unexpected power outages.
The beauty of this home lies not just in its stunning design and comfort but in its ability to serve as a haven of peace, creativity, and connection. With its charming features and prime location just minutes from downtown Highlands, it promises an unforgettable escape that nourishes both the body and soul. For those searching for a stunning retreat in nature, this enchanting cabin is waiting to welcome you.
