Welcome to the unique Artist's Studio In The Treetops, nestled in the heart of Highlands, North Carolina. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage has earned its nickname "the treehouse" thanks to its breathtaking design, featuring impressive 20-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light that will make your stay truly memorable.

Located conveniently within the Highlands town limits, this property is just a stone's throw from beautiful Harris Lake and situated behind Mountain Fresh Grocery. You'll find that this area is popular among locals for walking and jogging, as it offers a rare flat loop that's only a half-mile stroll to Main Street, where you'll discover a vibrant selection of shops and restaurants.

As you arrive at the property, you'll be welcomed by a picturesque grove of Hemlock trees. The small parking area accommodates up to two vehicles, and a short set of roughly 10 stairs will lead you to the entrance of this delightful cottage, adorned with two red Adirondack chairs on the inviting front porch.

This former artist's studio beautifully channels creativity and inspiration. With its antique windows, cedar shake exterior, and a spa-like slate shower, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Surrounded by mature rhododendrons, you will feel like you’re perched high in the trees. Inside, expect soaring 20-foot ceilings, ample skylights, and rustic wood walls. The carefully curated decor, colorful accents, and thoughtful details elevate the cottage's charm to new heights.

Step inside to discover a spacious L-shaped open layout. Straight ahead lies the kitchen, complete with a cozy bistro table, while the living area extends to the right. A hallway lined with built-in bookshelves leads to a bathroom featuring a generously sized shower and the main bedroom positioned at the end. The guest bedroom can be accessed from the common area adjacent to the bistro table.

Summary: The Adirondack Cottage was everything we hoped it would be for a quick getaway! It's super comfortable, beautifully decorated, quiet & serene, and also close to town. We loved having coffee on the front porch each morning and the proximity to town and the nearby hikes. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be back!
