Charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath “Author’s Cottage” in the heart of Highlands! Move-in ready and being sold fully furnished with just a few small exclusions. Perfect for family, friends, or weekend visitors, this turnkey mountain retreat is just minutes from Main Street, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Lake Sequoyah — across the street from the highly-rated On the Verandah restaurant. Guests on Airbnb and VRBO consistently rate it 4.9?, praising its comfort, convenience, and mountain charm. For buyers who spend time away, the property comes with trusted local support, including a housekeeper and handyman who can check in regularly and handle minor maintenance — giving you peace of mind while out of town. Low-maintenance landscaping makes this a true “lock-it-and-leave-it” property, and recent encapsulation in 2021 adds to its turnkey appeal.
