Perfectly Situated Between Highlands and Cashiers.

The wooded hillside does most of the work before you've even stepped inside. The Wildwood Mountain community sits in that rare geographic pocket between Highlands and Cashiers where the quiet feels intentional and the light through the trees changes the mood of the whole day. By the time you reach the wraparound deck and the newly added covered entertaining area with its wood-burning fireplace and rocking chairs, the unwinding has already begun.

This is a home that understands what a mountain retreat is actually supposed to do — and delivers it without asking you to compromise on comfort, space, or any of the details that make the difference between a good trip and the one you're already planning to repeat.

Light, Open, and Engineered for Ease - Single-level living means nobody navigates stairs in the dark, nobody feels separated from the group, and the open layout does what open layouts are supposed to do — keeps everyone connected without crowding anyone out. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the large living room with the wooded hillside and changing sky, vaulted ceilings give the space room to breathe, and the stone gas fireplace anchors it all with the warmth that makes staying in feel like the obvious choice on cool mountain evenings.

The fully equipped kitchen with its gas cooktop and breakfast island flows naturally into the dining and living areas — the kind of layout that makes family meals feel effortless and keeps the cook part of the conversation rather than exiled behind a wall. Everything connects. Nothing interrupts.

Three Bedrooms, Maximum Privacy - The layout here is quietly clever. Two primary suites sit on opposite ends of the house — one with a king bed, one with two queens — giving two families or two couples genuine separation without sacrificing the shared spaces that make a group trip worth taking. A third queen bedroom fills the middle ground, perfect for friends rounding out the group who want comfort without the primary suite designation. Three bedrooms, three distinct experiences, and enough thoughtful distance between them that everyone sleeps well and wakes up happy.

The Deck is Where the Trip Lives - The wraparound deck alone would be enough — space for outdoor dining, mountain air, the wooded hillside in every direction. But the newly added covered entertaining area takes things further: a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable rockers, and a sheltered space that extends the outdoor season well into the cooler months and keeps the group outside long after dinner is finished and the fire is the only light left.

Morning coffee in the rockers. Afternoon meals at the outdoor dining table. Evening fires that stretch longer than planned because nobody wants to be the first one to go inside. That's the rhythm this deck invites, and it's a good one.

Between Two of the Best Mountain Towns in the South - Wildwood Mountain sits squarely between Highlands and Cashiers — two destinations in one trip, with waterfalls, hiking trails, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and the Old Edwards Inn and Spa accessible from either direction. Come when the rhododendrons are blooming. Come when the fall color peaks. Come when the fireplace outside is the best possible reason to sit still.

There's no bad time. There's just your time, and when you want it.

What our guests are saying…

"Wildwood Mountain Cottage was perfect for our family. Having everything on one level was great for our elderly parents who no longer navigate stairs very well. The outdoor fireplace is such a wonderful addition and we can't wait to come back in the fall" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Brenda C.
