A secluded mountain retreat, minutes from the best of Highlands.

What to Expect

Minutes from everywhere, a world apart.

Braeburn Cottage is a new-construction home on a hillside bordering the Nantahala National Forest, and it's a short drive from the best of Highlands. Four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces for families, couples, and friends.

❋ Room to Gather

Two separate living areas, a chef's kitchen with a 6-burner KitchenAid gas range, and a dining table that seats 8. Everyone gets a place to settle in and a place to come back together. Board games, a retro Super Nintendo, and an air hockey table keep guests of all ages busy.

❋ Time Outside

Relax on the screened, covered porch with its wood-burning fireplace, soak in the private 5-person hot tub under the pergola, or gather around the fire pit in the Adirondack chairs. The Weber grill, outdoor dining area, and cornhole set are steps from the door.

❋ Connected When You Want to Be

Cell service can be limited in the mountains, but Starlink provides fast internet throughout the home, enough for WiFi calling and video conferencing. A whole-house backup generator helps ensure a comfortable stay even during mountain weather. Many visitors to the mountains appreciate the opportunity to disconnect, knowing reliable internet is there when they need it.

❋ Minutes to Highlands, NC

Dry Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are a short drive from the house, along with downtown Highlands dining, shopping, and hiking. The Nantahala National Forest starts at the property line. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or quality time with family and friends, Braeburn Cottage is the perfect base for your Highlands getaway.

Unwind on the porch, soak in the hot tub, and let the mountain set the pace.
