Charming cottage nestled on a 2.53 acre wooded property that is peaceful yet only 3 miles to Main Street Highlands. This home is currently a very successful VRBO, but could equally be a charming mountain retreat. The Tree House is conveniently located three miles East of downtown Highlands near the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital. This charming cottage offers beautiful woodland views overlooking the 2.5 acre property. This property features two driveways that offer ample parking. The home features a beautiful wood burning stone fireplace, soaring vaulted wood ceilings, wood floors throughout the home, a master bedroom on the main floor and full length covered porches on both the front and back of the home. The property can be subdivided and offers a second level home site.
