Highlands View Lodge: Mountain Retreat w/ 2 Porches, Hot Tub & Firepit

Welcome to the Highlands View Lodge in Highlands, NC. This beautiful home is located 4.2 miles from downtown Highlands.  It is in a quiet subdivision with great views.  It features three decks, a hot tub, and a fire pit which beckons you to be outside.  The spacious inside of the home feels like a cozy cabin with decor that makes you think of a Colorado lodge.  Although we offer wifi and cable, we encourage you to venture out to one of the 73 waterfalls within a 30-mile radius. Enjoy Highlands!  This home is tucked away in a quiet location on the edge of Highlands. It is perfect for families to come and relax and spend time outdoors enjoying the hot tub and outdoor fire pit.
It has plenty of space indoors which comfortably sleeps 6, with a sleeper sofa that accommodates up to 8.  A spacious Main Level master suite features a King bed and a large ensuite bath. Downstairs are the remaining two bedrooms (King, Queen), each with their own attached bathroom. The sleeper sofa is downstairs in the lower den.
The indoor space also includes a foosball table, checkers, dartboard, tiki toss, and other fun games for your enjoyment.  There is also a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal.  If you want to cook outside, we also have a gas grill on our lower deck.
 Speaking of decks, please enjoy a drink and or read a good book on one of our 3 large scenic decks facing the woods and mountains.   Three TVs offer YouTubeTV (app is on the home screen), please don't set your expectations too high on the internet speed. You are in the mountains. Both downstairs bedroom TVs have DVD players to watch your favorite movie.  4 miles away from all of the best shopping, restaurants, and fun experiences Highlands has to offer. There is also the perfect waterfall a mile and a half away called Secret Falls.  It’s perfect for a quick hike, and if it's warm outside, bring a picnic and a swimsuit.  There are also 74 other waterfalls within a 30-mile radius.  This property and Downtown Highlands will not disappoint!

Enjoyable Stay

We really enjoyed our time here along with young child and dog. The house was a peaceful setting and had all the needed amenities. It was also close town and several hikes that made for it easy to come and go. Our two-year old now refers to this property as his "favorite house".
