Enjoy this beautiful, completely renovated vacation home located on Little Bear Pen just a five-minute drive from downtown Main Street. Nicely updated, light and bright with one level of fun living, it's the perfect home for traveling couples or families.

Each bedroom is comfortably furnished with it's own private bath complete with all the modern amenities.  Entertaining is a breeze in this home with great outdoor spaces.  Relax on the nice screened deck with fireplace and take in the views while enjoying the cool fresh mountain air.  The well-equipped kitchen has a gas stove and there's plenty of seating at the rustic dining table for family dinners.

Take advantage of being just a short drive to downtown Main Street and you'll discover all that Highlands has to offer. Referred to by many as the Aspen of the east, Highlands has received accolades for its many award-winning restaurants such as Madison's, Wolfgang's Restaurant & Wine Bistro and On the Verandah. A destination for art lovers, The Bascom Center for the Arts always has something interesting on display and classes to participate in.  Catch a great show at the Highlands Playhouse or the Performing Arts Center and in the summer enjoy the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival.

What our guests are saying…

"Perfect mountain getaway. The house is the perfect location in the mountains and only a very short drive into The downtown. I really did not want to leave. We had cozy fires and they even provided the firewood for us! Will definitely want to come back!" - Dina

Delightful Spring Stay
Well decorated and well located, the house had lot of character and ton of charm, as well as a lovely view. The primary suite was comfortable with a lovely marble bathroom with tub. The primary bedroom had a lovely view, was cozy, and had a comfortable bed. Only side note - some of the guest beds had very firm mattresses. Regardless - would stay again!

When in need of help, don't call the property manager
The first issue was when arrived at the house with your quest of four siblings and their spouses in their mid-seventies to early eighties. When we got out to enter the house at the prescribed entrance there was no hand rails or ramps to help assist them up the steps. This has to be some kind of a code for Highlands NC. or a ADA violation and, if not, at least it should be your requirement. Second, after we got everyone settled into their rooms, we all settled down in the Great Room to discuss our trip plans. I tried to turn on the TV but it would not come on. So, I tried the internet and it did not work either. I tried calling all the support phone numbers supplied to me and phone numbers on the wall in the house. All were gone for the evening. This was only about an hour after we had arrived at 4pm. I did later get a message from Joe saying he was already off the mountain and that he would come by Wednesday afternoon. Joe did come Wednesday afternoon and he got the TV and internet going. So, we had some entertainment that evening. But, on Thursday morning the TV did not work again. The internet was working. I did report this to your office. They said would get someone up there as soon as possible. No one ever showed up. Third, on Wednesday I was going to cook hamburgers on the grill. So, I thought I would make sure the grill was ready. I uncovered the grill and found it completely nasty with 2 empty tanks of gas. Cancelled hamburgers for diner meal. A Gas Grill is list

We had 2 families of 4 with a range of ages and this property was perfect! The spacious living room and the updated kitchen accommodated us with no problem. The back porch looked amazing, but the weather wasn’t cooperating for us to hang out there. We would rent this house again!

Beautiful time with dear friends
This was a perfect place for 4 lifelong friends to relax together, both outside with a wonderful fireplace and tv, or talk inside with the fireplace or watch movies together, with plenty of room to spread out. Each bedroom and bathroom was spacious and comfortable. We also enjoyed the close and convenient proximity to Highlands and would love to come back to this house again.
