The Satulah Mountain Retreat-5 minutes to Main Street! 4 BR/3 baths

4 Bedrooms 3 Bathrooms Sleeps 8 Highlands

Welcome to a piece of history on Satulah Mountain! Built in 1942, the gem exudes the timeless charm of Old Highlands and an unhurried ambiance of a bygone era.

With 4 bedrooms an 3 bathrooms, this historic house boasts knotty pine walls, an enchanting stone fireplace, a spacious covered porch, and cozy bedrooms. Whether you’re indulging in a good book, crafting a mountain-inspired meal, engaging in family games, or simply unwinding by the fireplace, this home invites you to savor every moment.

Nestled on four plus acres and surrounded by old-growth rhododendrons and century-old hardwoods, the property offers privacy and abundant greenspace for the kids to play. Picture yourself singing campfire songs and eating s’mores by the wood-burning stone firepit or engaging in friendly competition on your very own shuffleboard court.

Just 1.7 miles from Main Street, the location offers easy access to world-class shopping, and gourmet restaurants in Highlands, NC. Explore nearby attractions like trout fishing, jeep tours, waterfalls, hiking, swimming, golfing, antiquing, live music and more. Consider taking in a show at the state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center or immersing yourself in Appalachian art at The Bascom.

“Take a step back in time in this well-appointed home!”

The main level boasts a welcoming living area, a fully-equipped kitchen, a pass-through dining area, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Additionally, there are two guest bedrooms that share a full bath.

Ascend the stairs to discover a snug bedroom and bathroom, complemented by a generously sized, carpeted area- ideal retreat for the little ones on a rainy day.

The inviting living area on the main floor features a cathedral ceiling, a stately, stone fireplace with gas logs, and a Smart TV with a Bluetooth soundbar for your entertainment needs.

The well-equipped kitchen is complete with new appliances, plentiful kitchen tools, pots, pans and convenient bar seating for three.

Gather around the dining table that comfortably accommodates eight guests, making it an ideal spot for meals or engaging in your favorite lively games.

The Master bedroom offers two side-by-side XL twin beds, and its ensuite bathroom includes a step-in tub/shower combination with a safety grab bar positioned beside both the toilet and shower. (For singles, these beds can easily be moved apart for more sleeping privacy.)

The two additional downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with a step-in tub/shower combination. The first guest room is furnished with a comfy queen-sized bed and a Smart TV, while the second guest bedroom features two twin vintage spool beds.

Upstairs, a charming third guest bedroom awaits with two antique cannonball twin beds. The accompanying bathroom includes a toilet, vanity and tub (no shower.)

Outside, unwind on the spacious covered porch. This outdoor living space features comfortable seating and a gas-fired bowl fire pit, making it ideal for relaxation anytime. However, it is extra nice when the gas grill is being used so the grillmaster won't be left out of the conversations.

A brand-new LG Smart washer and dryer are located in the nearby detached carport.

Please note that this home does not have A/C, but is equipped with thermostat-controlled gas and electric heaters.

It’s important to mention that there are uneven stone steps leading to the front door, and there is no handrail. This is not a problem for most people.

This property is located near the end of a newly paved dead-end road, minimizing through traffic, and ensuring easy access for all types of vehicles. Ample outside parking is available, including covered parking spaces.

Amazing!

by Anna Bryant
“Retreat” is the perfect word to describe Satulah Mountain Retreat! Incredibly clean, spacious, up-to-date, and super close to Highlands downtown. My favorite part was the covered porch with the fire pit, as well as the trail that starts from the backyard. The location and property felt safe and well-cared for. This is a great family friendly spot!

Perfect cozy getaway!

by Michelle
I visited this property with a few girlfriends and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The outdoor patio, complete with fire pit, made for a great happy hour. The inside of the cabin is clean and cozy. The location is central to great restaurants and shops. We will definitely be staying here again!

The coziest escape

by Nora
Satulah Mountain Retreat was the most charming and inviting house nestled in just enough seclusion to truly “escape” to the mountains. The outdoor fire pit under the covered porch was a perfect spot to completely relax and take in the outdoors even while it rained. The rooms inside the home could not have given off any better vibe than what screams “cozy”. The location is only minutes from all of the incredible restaurants and shopping that Highlands has to offer making a night on the town easy and convenient. Since Satulah Mountain Retreat comfortably sleeps so many, cannot wait to find an excuse to book our stay here again in the near future!

Great getaway!

by McGill Griffiths

Satulah was exactly what we were looking for! It was close to town and yet felt secluded and remote! The 4+ acres it sits on is so green and beautiful. Loved watching the sunsets from the patio with the fire pit on! Three baby birds hatched while we were there, and it was so much fun watching their little heads peeking out from the nest as the mama and father fed them. The kitchen was well stocked so staying in to cook was easy, and the beds were super comfy. We will definitely be back!
