Cozy home in great location

Sweetwood Cottage is a beautiful cozy home in a wonderful location. It’s an easy walk to downtown Highland. The kitchen is well stocked and makes cooking in a pleasure. The furniture is comfortable and the outside porch is an inviting space to hang out. Thanks for sharing this lovely cottage. We loved every minute!

Beautiful Property

We loved everything about this house. It was cozy, clean, and well stocked. We were able to walk into town. The mgmt company was extremely easy to work with. This was one of my favorite rentals and we've stayed in many. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Fabulous House

We were 4 friends spending 5 days together. The house was more like a home. I was very welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen had everything one would need to make any meal. We were close enough to walk to town, but didn’t because there are no sidewalks. The beds were comfy but the bedroom pillows upstairs could use an update. We thoroughly enjoyed the front porch and sat out there many an afternoon. I hope this house is available on my next visit to Highlands.

Sweetwood Cottage is a Special Place!

We can't wait to visit again. Sweetwood Cottage was the perfect location for our girls trip. It was beautifully decorated and had all the comforts of home. While we didn't realize we had planned our trip in the "off season" there was still plenty of shopping and fine dining available. Looking forward to our next visit and stay at Sweetwood.

Wonderful weekend with friends

Had a cozy and relaxing girls weekend in this beautiful mountain cabin. The cabin was stocked with everything we could possibly need. We had one small snafu while there and after calling the number provided it was fixed immediately. Thank you Joe! Run don't walk to rent this fantastic home away from home.

MLK weekend getaway

We were looking for a quick weekend getaway from Atlanta and looking for a little snow. Great property!! Love the layout of the house. We visit Highlands a few times a year and this property is one of the best we have stayed at. Felt like home away from home. We will definitely look to stay here again when we come back up.

Cozy mountain getaway

What a blessing! We absolutely loved the long weekend we spent at the Sweetwood Cottage and can’t wait to go back. The cottage was VERY comfortable and extremely well stocked, we wouldn’t change a thing. We will definitely try to return when the weather is a little warmer to enjoy the beautiful setting and front porch.
