Satulah Mountain Retreat-5 min 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, this gem exudes the timeless charm of Old Highlands and an unhurried ambiance of a bygone era.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the 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 more than four 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- an 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 accommodates eight guests, making it an ideal spot for meals or engaging in your favorite lively games.

The Primary bedroom offers a California King bed, and its ensuite bathroom includes a step-in tub/shower combination with a safety grab bar positioned beside both the toilet and shower.

The two additional downstairs bedrooms share a newly renovated 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 fire pit bowl, 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 washer and dryer are located in the nearby detached carriage house. (The carriage house sleeps 2 and can be rented for an additional nightly charge.)



Please note that this home does not have A/C, but is equipped with fans and 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.

Charming mountain home!

by Carrie

Satula Mountain Retreat was the perfect getaway with family and friends! It’s located just minutes away from town so shopping and dining was made easy! There are plenty of gathering spaces for the adults (my favorite was the firepit!) and the grounds are sprawling, allowing the kids to roam and play. We will definitely be back—I see a girls weekend in my future there! Highly recommend!

Quintessential Old Highland Chic

by AJ
 
The Satulah Mountain Retreat is quintessential old Highlands chic. Everything was thought out and put together with care and love. The instructions were thorough and very helpful. We were all very comfortable and right at home. The proximity to town was great - we enjoyed cooking in and nights out on the town. This place has the feeling of a home, not as a rental - everything feels nice and cared for. We enjoyed it so very much.

Our Recent Stay

by VLH + MPH

Our recent stay was a lovely getaway full of relaxation and adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking scenery and the serene atmosphere that enveloped the area. Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by its charming design, which perfectly complemented the natural beauty surrounding it. The interior of the cabin was cozy and well-appointed. The living area featured comfortable seating with a stone fireplace, and the kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances making it easy to prepare meals. The bedrooms were comfortable, with plush bedding and rustic decor that added to the cabin\'s charm. Dusk and evenings were our favorite part – we spent our nights on the patio, enjoying the crisp mountain air. After a day of adventuring & hiking, the quietness of the surroundings provided the perfect way to unwind. As it’s such a quick trip from Atlanta – with (of course) a stop at Jaemor Farms to get all the fixin’s - we highly recommend the Satulah Mountain Retreat for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Highlands, North Carolina.

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!
