You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Think SUMMER and FALL! We have dates available! ~ Heaven in Highlands~

The Wright Cottage is a perfect getaway for a couple, a family, or group of friends. We've have a gas log fireplace to warm you after a day of shopping or hiking. And, we now have an outdoor fire bowl for you to enjoy! We are the BEST VALUE in Highlands!

This newly renovated three bedroom/three bathroom vacation home--The Wright Cottage--is located in a serene setting near downtown Highlands and a short drive to Cashiers. This home is a perfect setting to relax and recharge in the pristine mountains of western North Carolina. The cottage has the features and amenities that make it a tremendous rental value.

With hardwood floors throughout, the master bedroom suite features a king size bed with the new ensuite full bath with shower. Downstairs you will also find a full bath with tub for your kiddos! Upstairs features twin beds in one bedroom and a double bed in the other. In between, a full bathroom serves upstairs guests. And, we have air conditioning for those unusually hot days in Highlands.

The cottage kitchen is fully furnished and we have a dining room to seat 6 comfortably. Or, you might plan to dine outside at the patio table. If you decide to pick up some steaks from Dusty’s Market and cook out, a grill is available for your use! After dinner, you can relax on the screened porch and enjoy the evening experience while you listen to the nocturnal chorus of whip-o-wills, tree frogs, and the occasional hoot of the great horned owl.

Whether you decide to curl up with a good book or spend the afternoon shopping in town, you will grow to love Highlands. Maybe you want to spend the afternoon wading in the cool water emanating from a nearby waterfall or hike on one of the many trails in the surrounding National Forest. Your Highlands vacation will be complete when you end the day with an evening picnic at the top of Sunset Mountain.

Small inside pets are welcome with a pet deposit.

COVID-19 UPDATE - We are taking extra precautions and cleaning and sanitizing regularly. We have a good supply of hand sanitizer and wipes for you use during your stay.

Loved our stay!
Our family enjoyed our spring break here this spring. The cabin is exactly as pictured and was a great space with room for the kids to run. It was so nice being close to town but feeling like we were out in the country. We will definitely stay again!

The Right House
Three college friends and one spouse stayed at your rental. We loved the feel of the place. It was spacious and homey. Just one recommendation. I would put blackout curtains in the room with the twin beds. It’s pretty bright when the sun comes up so sleeping in was not easy. We loved the gas fireplace. The remote to the fireplace wasn’t working for us. Fortunately one of us who owns a few properties knew how to turn on the fireplace. All in all, it was a wonderful visit!

Week in June
We enjoyed our stay at the Wright cottage. The home is equipped with everything we needed and more. We had some rainy, cool days so the fireplace came in handy. Bed in master is quite comfortable, bathrooms updated and very nice. Only minor negative is that lighting could be improved in living room and bedroom. That being said, we will stay there again! Thank you Lisa.

Welcoming and Homey
Home perfectly laid out for 2 couples, enjoying privacy of upstairs/downstairs but living room inviting renewal ofor great friendships. Kitchen fully equipped and handy with dining room a few steps away. Grateful for ample seating for all in fireplace room. Gas grill works well . Matresses just right. Could not be improved was our thought at week's end. Highly recommend.

Excellent choice
This spacious “cottage” exceeded my expectations. The beautifully dark Chestnut wood reflected the history of this home but the modern updates including AC/heating , rapid hot water, nice gas fireplace, dishwasher and complete TV, movies and DVD’s, made it completely comfortable. The large wooded lot provided the beauty AND privacy we seek. Outdoor fire pit with lots of cut wood was a bonus to be enjoyed. Owner, responsive. Thank you for all!

Fantastic property in a location convenient to Highlands and Cashiers.

Location is private, quiet and beautiful. Can’t wait to stay at The Wright Cottage again. Owner was very responsive to questions.

This cottage is quaint & charming with ample room to accommodate our group. We traveled to Highlands for a family wedding. Spacious, very comfortable and cute. Clean and ready to go when we. arrived. We would recommend and plan to return in the future. There was slight confusion when we checked in because there website is a little out of date, but things were resolved quickly and all went well!

Private haven
Lovely comfortable capacious retro house, feels like a real home. Larger than it looks in the photos, quiet and serene location but just 7 minutes from the hustle bustle of Highlands, and only 12 minutes the other way to Cashiers. We used this as a base for local hiking - perfect in every way. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable big bed, all the towels you could possibly need, good WiFi, very friendly responsive hosts, easy in and out (keypad). Would come back any time and wish we could have stayed longer.
