The Cardinal Cottage is a private, design focused escape in the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, created for couples and friends looking for a quieter place to gather, settle in, and enjoy mountain life on the plateau.

Thoughtfully updated while preserving the warmth and character of a historic cottage, the home includes two bedrooms, each with a king size bed and luxury bedding. One bedroom has a private en-suite bath, while a second full hallway bathroom serves the additional bedroom.

The cozy cottage kitchen has all original cabinetry and hardware from 1954 that has been freshly painted and fitted with all new Café appliances. Throughout the cottage, small spaces have been created for lingering. Relax by the fire, choose a record from the vinyl nook, or enjoy an evening in the cottage speakeasy.

Outside, the 300 square foot screened in back porch overlooks the surrounding forest and offers a peaceful setting for morning coffee, conversation over a glass of wine, or simply listening to nature. The outdoor area has a deck area with gas grill and seating and a fire pit area tucked away.

Cardinal Cottage is located just one mile from Glen Falls and only 2.2 miles from Main Street, placing the shops, restaurants, galleries, and energy of Highlands close at hand while still giving guests a private retreat to return to.
