Step inside and the layout does the work: three private master suites are
spread across two levels, each with its own ensuite bathroom, closet, and
a door that closes, so every couple or family unit gets a real retreat,
not just a bedroom. Two additional half baths serve the loft and living
areas, so there’s never a line in the morning.
Downstairs, the great room opens straight into the kitchen and dining
area. The 6-burner Cafe gas range and central island face a farmhouse
table that seats 10, so cooking never means being cut off from the group.
The indoor wood burning fireplace anchors the room on cool mountain
nights.
Through the sliding doors, the covered back deck holds a second wood
burning fireplace and a Smart TV, extending the living space outdoors
for three seasons of the year. A few steps further, a private gazebo sits
tucked into the trees, and a fire pit rounds out the third fire feature
on the property.
Upstairs, the loft adds a sofa bed and a second smart TV, giving kids or
late-night guests their own hangout separate from the main suites.
The home can be easily accessed, just minutes from Main Street. For those traveling with children, you have access to a wide array of activities in Highlands and nearby towns like Scaly Mountain, Franklin, Cashiers, and Glenville.
