Beautiful Highlands cabin! 8 min to town-Pet friendly-lots of outdoor space

Little Pine House is a beautiful 1950 cabin located in a private neighborhood called Flat Mountain Estates. It is in a cul de sac neighborhood, so there’s no thru traffic. It’s great for walking with mountain views at the top, and Ranger Falls and Cliffside hiking trails are just around the corner. The home is a beautifully updated one level ranch home with lots of its original charm. It is on a nicely landscaped flat lot with lots of privacy and outdoor space. Great for pets and relaxing, and the outdoor porch with wood burning fireplace is always a favorite spot. There is plenty of parking for 4 or more cars, and we are located near the front of our neighborhood, so it is very easy access with no steep hills. Less than 10 minutes from downtown Highlands, and 15 to Cashiers. The adorable town of Clayton is close by too. Oak Steakhouse is just 4 minutes away down Flat Mountain rd in the Skyline Lodge. We love everything about this spot, and sincerely think you will too!

This house was a great home base for our first trip to Highlands. We stayed over the week of Christmas - Jennings prepared the house beautifully for the holidays, and the indoor and patio fireplaces made it so cozy.

Peaceful Cabin House

With a busy wedding weekend schedule, it was nice to come back to the cute and peaceful cabin home to relax. While it was in a neighborhood, we had the feeling we were in a secluded area as we sat out in the screened-in porch in front of the fireplace. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Such a nice cabin!

It's a wonderful place to visit. A very eclectic cabin set in the woods, it has a fully equipped kitchen (appliances, pans, utensils, spices... the works!). 4 adults with plenty of room. We certainly enjoyed sitting on the screened porch with the fireplace going. Highly recommended.

Relaxing stay!

Very cozy house making it easy to relax and unwind. Although the weather was mostly wet and rainy the house was so comfortable and inviting with the fireplace on porch and the games in the cabinet. We caught up on some Christmas movies and enjoyed cooking a nice meal in the well equipped kitchen.

Peaceful

Nice place, up the mountain, surrounded by quiet and green. Enjoyed the porch in the morning and evening and the outside wood fireplace with a full stack of wood and large screen TV, even a small drink cooler. Inside the gas fireplace and large screen TV was great. Had a fantastic coffee bar and everything you might need in the kitchen.

Get away from it all without being too far from town!

This mountain home is the perfect place to unplug. We lived on the screened porch enjoying movies and a fire - we enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and found the beds comfortable. The decor is beautiful and the home is very well kept. The neighborhood and quiet and peaceful, but stores and restaurants are a quick drive away. There is a hiking trail right near the home. We'd definitely return!

Peaceful Getaway

My wife and I love Highlands and the surrounding area. By the end of August, we have had all the summer heat we can stand. This cabin was the medicine we needed! It is beautiful, well appointed, not too far from town. The weather was perfect. A couple of days of soft rain made the screened in patio feel like a piece of heaven. We'll be back!

Excellent Cabin In Highlands

The Little Pine Cabin was perfect in every way. It is in a wonderful location; easy drive only a short distance from downtown Highlands. Prior to our stay the hosts were in touch on more than one occasion with suggestions for restaurants and places of interest. We couldn't have asked for better communication from them. The cabin has every amenity with a special coffee bar, fully stocked, along with a welcome bottle of wine. It was a special experience with all that this home offered. We will definitely return. Many thanks to our host for making this visit memorable!

Convenient lovely Mountain Cottage

Loved our stay at the Pine Cottage. The location was excellent and close to Highlands. Our hosts, Neeley, and Jennings were very easy to work with and have provided everything you could possible need and then some. We loved the quiet neighborhood and there is ample parking which is not always easy to find in a mountain rental. The only suggestion I would make is to have the house cleaners to vacuum under the tables and chairs. Other than that the cabin was very clean.

A slice of heaven

The cabin was spectacular, from the decor, to all the extra special touches. We felt right at home from the minute we opened the door. We spent a lot of our time on the back porch, watching TV and enjoying the warm fire place. Then retiring to the cozy living room for a movie and dinner. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we would need. The owners are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Birthday Weekend at the Little Pine House

Everything about our stay was simply perfect. From the ease of booking and the communication with Neely and Jennings before and during our trip. They are the perfect hosts and went above and beyond to make my birthday special. The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood, and we enjoyed relaxing on the screened in porch. All the little touches make you feel like you are staying at a friend's home rather than a rental. The cabin is so cozy and there are lots of places to hang out. The furniture and beds are comfortable, and everyone slept well during our trip. We enjoyed the coffee bar, beverage fridge and the luxury soaps in the bathrooms. We are already talking about coming back for a longer trip.
