Gated. Private. Backed by Forest. Two Miles From the Best Town in the Mountains.
Some vacation rentals make you choose between seclusion and convenience. This one doesn't ask you to.
Behind the gates of Highlands Falls Country Club, on a secluded lot where the backyard gives way to a protected forest preserve, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home occupies a particular kind of sweet spot — genuinely private, genuinely peaceful, and a two-mile drive from everything that makes Highlands one of the most beloved mountain towns in the Southeast. If you'd rather earn the arrival, a scenic 25-minute trail hike gets you there on foot.
Either way, the mountains win.
Built for Two Families, or One Very Lucky One - The layout of this home is one of its quiet superpowers. The main level functions as a complete, self-contained living space — beautifully appointed living area, fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining room built for shared meals, and a private ensuite bedroom that works perfectly as the primary suite. It's the kind of main level you could spend an entire trip on without feeling like anything is missing.
Then there's the lower level, which changes the math entirely for larger groups. A second full living room — ideal for movie nights, overflow lounging, or keeping the kids in their own orbit — anchors the space, alongside a kitchenette that gives guests downstairs the ability to operate independently when they want to. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms complete the level, creating a setup that two families can share without spending the whole trip negotiating over the kitchen or the remote.
The Porches Deliver - Western North Carolina does sunsets differently, and the covered main-level porch has a front-row seat to all of it. Upper and lower outdoor spaces mean there's always somewhere to be outside — morning coffee, afternoon reading, al fresco dinners, or simply sitting with a drink while the forest goes quiet around you. The lot backs directly to a forest preserve, which means the view from the porch is trees and ridgeline as far as you can see, with no neighbors interrupting the picture.
The Setting - Highlands Falls Country Club provides the kind of gated, manicured backdrop that makes arriving feel like an event. Beyond the gates, downtown Highlands is two miles away — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking, and the Old Edwards Inn and Spa all within easy reach. The trail into town is worth doing at least once, if only for the satisfaction of hiking somewhere with a good lunch waiting at the end.
Come for a long weekend. Start planning the return trip before you leave.
