Summary:

Experience refined mountain living at Stag Ridge, a designer cabin tucked in the private woods of Highlands, NC.



- Sleeps 8 | 4 bedrooms



The Space:

Morning light filters through the pine canopy, casting a warm glow on the stone fireplace while the scent of fresh pine mingles with the aroma of coffee from the Nespresso machine. Inside, the cabin’s designer touches—Ralph Lauren‑inspired furnishings and a La Cornue stove—invite you to unwind after a day of hiking the nearby waterfalls. Every room feels both secluded in private woodland and connected to the charm of downtown Highlands, just two miles away.

A game table for four and a selection of family‑friendly games keep evenings lively. High‑speed WiFi and a dedicated workspace make remote work effortless.



Kitchen & Dining

The gourmet kitchen boasts a La Cornue stove, Viking appliances, a spacious island, and fully stocked essentials. Starbucks Nespresso and drip coffee, tea, sugar, creamer, and kid‑friendly dishes are ready for use. Smart TVs (65”, 55”, and bedroom) offer entertainment after meals.

Stag Ridge was an incredibly well decorated and maintained house. The decor, furnishings, kitchen including appliances (La Cornue, Viking, etc), etc etc - everything - were first rate. Clearly the house is loved by the owner. Minutes to town. Peaceful setting. The host - Hotel Homes - was professional, responsive, informative and top notch. We had a great experience and would stay again.

Highlands

The home is lovely and we enjoyed our visit to the Highlands area. Wifi information should be sent with the entrance code email. There was a roller off one of the dining room chairs and antlers off a skull plaque in bedroom when we arrived. Recommend covers over downstairs bathroom and bedroom windows and handrails on steps inside and outside for older people who rent. Hot water knob needs repair in small bathroom upstairs. Thank you fror a lovely stay.
