Upscale Cottage with Ultra Privacy and Spectacular View

Fifteen minutes east of Cashiers, and 55 minutes southeast of Asheville, N.C. is Mountain Laurel Cottage; a wonderful two bedroom, two bathroom home, that boasts a spectacular, long distance, southwest view of Chimney Top and Whiteside Mountains.

Designed by Al Platt (yes, the same one who designed the nationally recognized 2006 HGTV Dream Home), Mountain Laurel Cottage not only takes advantage of the impressive view from this five acre estate, but also offers a superb natural mountain experience. Enjoy a cool mountain breeze, or the warmth of a crackling fire, on the comfortably furnished, screened, living room/porch, which is the common family area of the home. Screened on three sides, it has a high vaulted ceiling, and lets you enjoy the acres of surrounding nature. Inside the home are the bedrooms, bathrooms, den/living area and the kitchen that opens onto that screened living room/porch area. Peace, quiet, and privacy are your neighbors. From the living room/porch step outside onto an uncovered deck where there is a large gas grill ready to cook your favorite meal. This is truly designer mountain living!

The Mountain Laurel Cottage estate is situated at an elevation of 3800 ft, on the 320 acre, gated, Preserve at Rock Creek. With 215 of the Preserve’s acres dedicated to conservation; pristine forests, plentiful waterfalls, and ancient rock formations are all a splendid hike away.

Fine dining, boutique/convenience shopping, additional golf / tennis facilities, more stream/lake fishing, renowned hiking, and a multitude of incredible waterfalls are all within fifteen minutes. There is even a post office, a gas station, and a convenience store five minutes of Mountain Laurel Cottage, on the main east-west artery, State Road 64.

Couples Spring getaway in Sapphire NC
Great location in private community a short distance to food, hiking, zip line, golf, spa, and upscale shopping in Cashiers/Highlands. Wonderful stay, easy relaxation on screen porch to grilling on the deck. Only item of note, the white kitchen cabinetry had fine coating of dust when I wiped the door/handles following dinner. Possibly caused by the some recent wood improvements that appeared new.

Wonderful stay
Wonderfully cozy and smartly appointed cabin. Fireplace, movies, grill, screened porch all were excellent amenities. Hiking trails steps away. Prompt communication. Would love to go back.

Amazing Family NYE
We absolutely loved this place. Nothing was missing. spectacular views, outdoor fireplace was very cozy with the cold weather over new years. We felt at home and appreciated being disconnected from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Highly recommend this property and it's also inside of a gated preserve which was a piece of mind security.

Large screened porch with huge fireplace and mountain view.
This is the perfect house if you want a quiet family stay. It rained during our visit but we were able to enjoy the large screened porch with its huge stone fireplace and amazing view. There was plenty of cut wood and comfortable seating. The porch was also right outside the living room making communication easy between the two. Highly recommend this property!

Fantastic Mountain Views
My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in early October just as the leaves were starting to change. We came intending to hike to a lot of the area waterfalls. While we did do some hiking, we found it very difficult to leave this cabin. We very much enjoyed the outdoor room with the fireplace that overlooked the mountains. We only went out to eat one evening and canceled the reservations that we had made for the other nights, because we wanted to cook something there at the cabin and eat out on the porch. The kitchen and living room are quite small, so personally, I would not have been happy if it was more than 2 people there. The only dining area is out on the porch, though there are TV tables provided. I can’t say we really minded the windy mountain road to get to the cabin. It is paved and in good shape. This was five days of relaxation as we did not hear any dogs barking, leaf, blowers, or traffic noise the whole time we were there. We will return!

WOW! That is exactly what we said when we first walked into the house. The views are amazing and the screened in porch is where we spent most of our time. The house is adorable & very comfortable. Be sure to take in the sunsets.

Perfect mountain cabin
Adults, teens and puppy loved this cozy cabin with huge screened in porch featuring gorgeous mountain view and wood burning fireplace. Very private and quiet yet well located between amenities and activities in Cashiers and Lake Toxaway.

Quaint, Cozy, and Gorgeous Views
Great property and overall stay. This property was perfect for our family of 4. Main room is small but trust in that you’ll spend most of your time in the screened in porch. It is fabulous with breathtaking views. As many previous reviews state- both bathrooms are on the ground floor. This was fine for our family but might be tough with elderly. Upstairs loft was cute and perfect for kids. You could sleep 4 upstairs alone. We had problems with the air during our stay but owner sent a repairman out within hours to fix. Would’ve loved a binder with area restaurants/ hike/ activity suggestions- this is the first Vrbo we’ve stayed in one that didn’t have one (or maybe we missed it somehow). The people at Highland Hiker were helpful with the areas best hikes/ waterfalls. Lots of great restaurants in the area. We found Lake Toxaway was easier to get to for dining in the eve with less-windy roads then the road to Cashiers. Recommend The Greystone Inn for fine lakeside dining. The Cornucopia restaurant in Cashiers was cute and yummy too. Rented a boat on beautiful Lake Grenville through the local marina during the week and we pretty much had it to ourselves. A day trip to Highlands is a must. More great food and shopping. The Highalnds Aerial park has many activities too. So much to do here and look forward to a return visit!
