Main Level:
The open living room features a cozy fireplace and a large flat-screen TV, ideal for relaxing nights in. The recently renovated kitchen is equipped with brand-new appliances and connects to a bright dining area that leads out to the deck. The spacious primary bedroom offers a king-size bed, a convertible loveseat, a large flat-screen TV, and a beautifully updated ensuite bath—perfect for late-night movie marathons or slow, restful mornings. Across the hall, the guest bedroom includes a queen-size bed, with a full bath conveniently located just down the hall. A brand-new washer and dryer are tucked neatly into a hallway utility cabinet for easy access.

Lower Level:
Downstairs, you'll find a fun and functional playroom/den—perfect for kids or family movie nights. Outfitted with a large flat-screen TV, DVD player, and a sofa that converts to a queen-size bed, it’s a great space for unwinding. The lower level also includes a third bedroom with a twin bed and an additional full bath, offering flexibility and privacy for guests.

Outdoor Spaces:
The home features a sunny open deck just off the main level dining area, complete with rocking chairs, a new propane grill, and a second dining table for enjoying meals outdoors. Below, a newly built deck spans the length of the home—half covered for all-weather lounging. Unwind on the chaise lounges or sway gently in the hammock while soaking in the peace and quiet of your surroundings.

Just a short and scenic walk from town past Harris Lake, you can feed the ducks, cast a fishing line, or explore all the shopping, dining, and charm that Highlands has to offer—right from your front door.

What our guests are saying…

"Cozy Christmas in Highlands. We had a wonderful family Christmas stay at Cardinal Cottage. Loved the open floor plan, the view from the deck, and roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. The location was excellent - a nice walk to Harris Lake and even Main Street, otherwise, a 3 minute drive. Beds were comfortable and Wi-Fi worked like a charm. Can't wait to stay again!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Sandra
