About Fallen Leaf
A Highlands mountain retreat made for time together.
Fallen Leaf is a spacious four-bedroom vacation rental in Highlands, North Carolina, designed for family trips, multigenerational stays, and groups that want room to gather without giving up room to unwind.
The home
Comfortable spaces for gathering, relaxing, and staying awhile.
With four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, two full kitchens, multiple living areas, fireplaces, and a game room with a full-size pool table, Fallen Leaf gives larger groups flexibility throughout the stay.
Outside, covered porches and decks create more places to slow down. A private covered hot tub, outdoor seating, grills, and mountain and sunset views make it easy to enjoy the Highlands setting without leaving the property.
High-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, workspace options, and a whole-home generator add the practical comforts that matter on longer stays and mountain-weather days.
Why families choose Fallen Leaf
One home, several ways to spend the day.
Multiple living areas and two kitchens work especially well for multigenerational trips, extended families, and groups with different routines.
Use Fallen Leaf as a comfortable base for downtown Highlands, waterfalls, hiking, scenic drives, dining, and day trips toward Cashiers.
Highlands & Cashiers
A home base for the best of the plateau.
Fallen Leaf puts guests in the Highlands area with easy access to the experiences that make the North Carolina mountains worth returning to: downtown shops and restaurants, waterfall stops, scenic hikes, seasonal events, and quiet evenings back at the house.
Cashiers is also within easy reach for dining, shopping, outdoor recreation, and exploring more of the plateau during a Highlands stay.
