A spacious cottage with gorgeous Mountain Views!

If your idea of a vacation is serenity and relaxation, then the Deerfield Cottage is for you. The property sits on 12 acres, nestled in the Wayah valley just six miles from historical Franklin, NC. In the early mornings or at dusk, look for the deer that frequent the property. Often you will see fawns frolicking in the field under the fruit trees.

Ruby Cottage - a Highlands' gem (street level)

Ruby Cottage is located on scenic Highway 64 just outside Highlands on the road to Cashiers. This cozy retreat is only minutes from the quaint shops and romantic restaurants in downtown Highlands. Activities abound - from fly fishing and hiking to world-class spas and cultural diversions. But the treetop views from this cottage's floor-to-ceiling windows may entice you to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine and stay indoors.
