SkyHigh Cottage is a delightful private retreat at elevation higher than Main Street in Highlands. For a weekend, a season or year round, indulge in quiet, end of the road privacy. Native rhododendron, weeping cherry, and giant limelight hydrangea create natural color against the backdrop of Scaly Mountain. All this is literally steps away from National Forest. The perfectly decorated cottage boasts large decks, open and covered, overlooking the mountains and the stone patio. Laze in the hammock, roast marshmallows over a fire, or just read a book on the porch. Inside, get super warm with the Malm gas log fire place, (easily converted to wood burning). The great room overlooking it all boasts cozy seating areas, kitchen, a generous dining area, and breakfast bar. Two large bedrooms share a roomy bath. Rain on the metal roof will soothe you to sleep. The hardiplank-style siding, encapsulated crawl space, and tankless gas water heater provide modern touches to the perfect traditional mountain cottage. The home is offered fully furnished, complete with original artwork, kitchen equipment, a big green egg and walking sticks. Bring your toothbrush and enjoy!
