High Hollow Cottage

High Hollow Cottage is adjoins National Forest, so if privacy is what you are looking for, look no further. Here, you can hike, watch for wildlife, or spread out a blanket picnic. You’ll never want to leave this cozy cottage.

While hiking the property, you might see remnants of an old hiking trail that used to climb high up on the ridgetop but was lost to the windswept elements. Today, this trail is home to the native wildlife.

The private setting will lure you outdoors throughout your visit.

  Matthew E from Alexandria, VA recommends this vacation rental

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at High Hollow Cottage, and it was absolutely delightful! The cottage strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern convenience, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Nestled in a scenic, secluded area, it offers a fantastic retreat from the hustle and bustle, with beautiful views of nature all around.
  
  The interior was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated. Every room felt warm and welcoming, with little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals easily, and the living area was the perfect spot to unwind.
  
  The outdoor space was a highlight—whether you’re looking to relax by the fire pit or take a dip in the hot tub, there’s something magical about the peaceful surroundings. It’s also a great location for stargazing on clear nights, as light pollution is minimal.
  
  We left feeling refreshed and inspired, and we’ll definitely return to High Hollow Cottage for another escape into nature!

  This is our second time staying here and it is a lovely property. It's so quiet and secluded. The hot tub was amazing. We had a wonderful time. That being said, we noticed a few things that could use a little bit of TLC. The cushions on one of the lounge chairs a ripped and the stuffing is coming out. Also while the bed is comfy, there is a noticeable dip in the center where you kind of roll to the middle of the bed that was not present on our previous trip a couple of years ago. We also encountered a mousy visitor which I called the management company about. Not a huge deal (you are out in the woods) but we did notice a number of mouse droppings around the place. The management company did call on our last day there to make sure we had a good stay which I thought was nice.

  The only issue we had was finding the house the first time. The written instructions were kind of confusing but that could just be me! The mailbox that lists 137 is no longer visible.
  
  If the entry instructions were updated it would have been a perfect stay. This did not hinder our experience as we called the emergency line and was quickly answered and helped with getting to the location.
  
  
  This is all nitpicky, it was a beautiful stay and we cannot wait to be back

  Wendy R from Hamilton, NJ recommends this vacation rental

  The property totally lived up to my expectations, just far enough away from everything with all I needed. Never experienced the fire pit, but the hot tub was perfect after long rally days. The bed was perfect for one, though it could use attention, some honeymooners claim to have broken it, there's definitely a hole. The outdoor decks were ideal no matter the weather or mood! I look forward to visiting again...

  We enjoyed our stay at High Hollow very much. The drive up was a little sketchy and made my palms sweat but that’s probably because I’m not from the mountains. Other than that we loved the cottage and everything it had to offer. Would definitely recommend to others for both location and privacy.

  a guest from Alpharetta, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay here. Home was very clean and comfortable for 2 people. It's actually like a tiny house trailer, but bigger than most you see on TV. Hot tub was great and grilling out on the charcoal grill was nice. Only negative is the bed, very uncomfortable, huge indention in the center so kept fighting to keep from rolling into the center. Other than that, we would certainly stay again as long as there is a new bed!

  a guest from Hendersonville, NC recommends this vacation rental

  The High Hollow Cottage was super-clean, and well-equipped with lots of thoughtful touches. Everything was as described and as pictured, and the property managers were great with communication. The cottage is very modern and felt spacious despite being a type of "tiny house." I would say that the bed was a bit on the soft side, and perhaps could use a sturdier frame, but it was comfortable and cozy. The kitchen had anything you might need to cook with and there was a grill outside (though we didn't use it). The Cottage is in a lovely, secluded spot, and had amazing winter views of mountains. So peaceful with the sound of stream and the birds, and nothing else. We loved the two covered porches, the fire pit and the hot tub! We were fortunate to have great weather for our stay, and the star-gazing was amazing!! We're hoping to come back again!!

  This is a beautiful private getaway. Everything was clean!!! I loved that the rental property gave us a call on our second day to make sure that everything was up to satisfaction. I like that they also had wood there for the fire pit. We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this property and rental company.

  The High Hollow Cottage was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. We loved the location & highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded National Forest getaway. Note: If traveling by motorcycle like we did on this trip, my Husband (highly experienced & has been riding bikes since he was a teen & we are in our late 50s) - he rated the level of skill needed to maneuver the driveway, from the turn off to the cottage, a 7 with 10 being most difficult for experienced riders.

  Chris V from Tallahassee, FL recommends this vacation rental

  This is a great private cabin in the woods. Even at night you can barely see the homeowners house down the hill. When I got to the cabin and I walked inside I just immediately relaxed it was an oasis after a long trip.
  The hot tub was a great feature to help relax and unwind and get ready for all the fun that can be had around this house.
  This is a great location for the nantahala outdoor center nantahala River Fontana dam Fontana lake
  Lake Santeetla. Tsali bike trails. For me and my stay this was a perfect location.

  We very much enjoyed staying at High Hollow Cabin. The quiet area was great for the purpose of our getaway, to decompress and be surrounded by nature. Hikes are accessible nearby by car. The cabin was very clean, modern, comfortable and functional. Would definitely recommend for a couple or a young family.

  Pictures don’t do it justice. Once you’re there it has such a modern clean and vacation feel to it. We absolutely loved it and wish we had been able to stay longer. Make sure you bring some coffee filters.
