Charming and Unique Log Cabin with Beautiful Garden Setting

Scout's Retreat is a uniquely decorated log cabin with a stackstone fireplace and surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden with native rhododendrum, mountain laurel and hemlocks. Located on a private road, one mile from downtown Highlands on the Rhododendron Trail. The cabin offers wonderful accomodations in the midst of a rustic mountain setting and within walking distance to town and nearby restaurants and shopping.

The den features a stackstone fireplace, antique hand hewn beams and walls with large tv and comfortable seating and has access to the side garden. The dining room which offers seating for eight opens to a screen-in porch overlooking the back yard. Fully equipped kitchen has a gas range and bar area with island seating. Both kitchen and dining area have access to the screen porch.

Two bedrooms downstairs (one with twin beds and the other with a queen bed) are uniquely decorated with antiques. Both bedrooms have private natural stone baths.

The upstair tastefully decorated master bedroom features a queen size bed with seating area, antique chest, tv and hand hewn log open ceiling. A private bathroom features a natural stone shower with a dressing table area. A loft adjacent to the master bedroom is furnished with a sofa and a full size antique bed and chest offering additional sleeping and storage.

Their are two gardens located on the property with one featuring a stackstone wall flower garden where one can relax and enjoy the mountain air and can also be used as an entertaining area.

The neighborhood mountain lake located on our private road is stocked with trout and can be used for fishing.
This is the perfect getaway location to enjoy the natural beauty of the mountains and all of the cultural treasures of Highlands.

What an amazing rental! The pictures do not do it justice. So cozy and quaint. The location was great, owners were so sweet and communicative, the house had all the amenities we needed. We can’t wait to go back!

Fabulous stay during artic blizzard
We stayed at Scouts Retreat during the artic blizzard! The hosts were very, very accommodating. They stocked the firewood and decorated the house for Christmas which was such a nice touch. The power stayed on, fireplace roaring and a good time was had by all. The kitchen is very well appointed and the whole house worked fabulously with our adult group. We did hike despite the ice and hit a few restaurants in Highlands which was only 1 mile away (one closed because of no water). We hope to return soon with or without the artic blast.

Perfect for us!
I travel to Highlands/Cashiers area yearly in June & have rented several places looking for just the right place. This is it! This home is warm & inviting, decorated with antiques, nice lamps, good art, & comfortable beds. The kitchen is well-appointed with all the right equipment to cook a meal. And by the way, all is very clean! The owner was very quick to respond when I reached out & was very helpful! Downtown Highlands is about a mile away. This turned out to be great for us as we tend to go into town everyday. I can’t wait to stay again!
