About this property

The Trail's End - Location and Serenity Highlands

The Cabin rests on a south facing hillside on Loma Linda Farm in Highlands, NC. Just a 5 minute drive to Main Street yet, worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Hiking enthusiasts will love that we're just a short walk to the heads of the Glen Falls and Chinquapin trails. The Cabin is fully equipped and appointed with comfort and serenity in the forefront. The big covered porch is a lovely spot to enjoy the view, read, or even catch up with emails if you must. Pet friendly with prior approval.

The space
Best suited for 1 or 2 people. A couple with one or two small children works well with the queen size living room sofa bed opened up for the kids. A small fenced yard surrounds the front of the cabin - safe for your small children and pets.

Guest access
The whole home is yours to enjoy as well as the fenced front yard. The only exception is the owner's closet which is one of two closets in the bedroom. The washer and dryer are reserved for guests booking 7 nights or longer.

*** Please enjoy our horses and dogs from a distance. Please don't feed them anything and be sure to keep your pets out of their designated areas. Thank you.

WINTERTIME NOTE:
Please know that during the winter months, the mountain weather can get tricky with extreme cold, ice and snow storms. The power could go out and so could the internet. The cabin does have a gas fireplace that runs without electricity so at least you'll be cozy and warm!
And, if the driveway ices over, you may need to walk up the hill from the road to the cabin. The likelihood of any of this happening is pretty low but I don't want you to have any adverse surprises during your trip.
Thank you for your consideration to this and I do hope you decide to come on up and enjoy your time here in Highlands during our beautiful winter months!

Other things to note

PETS:
We love animals and are happy to provide a home away from home for you and your well traveled pets. We do have several restrictions and therefore require prior approval as outlined in our house rules. Please contact host prior to booking.

Fall Leaves get-a-way

My husband and I came back to Trail’s end to get a look at the fall leaves. We usually come up in the summer. It was a quick trip, but that is part of why we love Linda’s property. It is private and scenic, but 5 minutes from downtown and within walking distance to great hikes. Linda helped us identify the best time to come up for what we were looking for. She is helpful, friendly, responsive and her home provides us all we need. We’ll be back again!🍁💕

Perfect Spot

This house was everything we needed, and at the right price, for our Fall weekend in Highlands with our pets. A relaxing respite from our days full of exploration. Enjoyed early morning jaunts into town for Calders coffee & treats, and to admire the inns’ and shops’ flower and pumpkin displays, then set off for hikes in the forest before the crowds awoke. Had a great lunch at dog friendly SlabTown Pizza. Enjoyed a festival in Cashiers, long evening walks at the nature center, and several live music shows. Even saw a bear in town sneaking apples from behind the cafe. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Cozy home in Highlands

Great location just outside of town. Not hard to access - just follow the instructions. Quaint little cabin which is very comfortable with nice decor. Very quiet area, and relaxing stay. Linda is very friendly and helpful. Great value for Highlands.
