Foxdale Cottage - Beautifully renovated & well appointed

Foxdale Cottage - Beautifully renovated & well appointed, 1.5 miles to Highlands

Foxdale Cottage has been brilliantly and creatively renovated to create rustic charm juxtaposed with modern provence. This lovely cottage offers unparalleled sophistication in the vacation rental market. Its upper and lower 'main' concept makes this cottage perfect for family or friends as each level has its own great room, kitchen, bedroom, bath and screened porch. Time together, time alone, makes for the perfect mountain getaway!

The great room dressed in hues of gray, features a granite floor to ceiling fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and double French doors that open on to a spacious screened porch. The porch is ideal for entertaining with a private wooded ridge view, a table for six and sitting area. The open floor plan joins great room to kitchen and quaint eat-in nook. The kitchen's glory is her antique barn wood cabinets with oriental pearl granite and stainless appliances.

The king suite is a relaxing retreat with sitting area, ensuite bath with jetted claw foot tub and double pedestal sinks. Double French doors open to the porch letting in light and bringing in that fresh mountain air.

The terrace level footprint is a duplicate of the main with great room, kitchen, Queen bedroom, bath and screened porch.

Peppered with fine art, your luxury vacation rental is elevated to a whole new level.

The home is updated and decorated beautifully. Loved the screened in porches. Beds and linens were comfortable and nice quality. The grill needed cleaning so we didn't use it. Also the pans in the lower over drawer were pretty bad so did not use them either. Overall - great place!

The location, screened in deck and appliances were top notch. It rained almost every day but the gas logs made everything super cozy. Look forward to our next trip!

Beautiful Highlands Getaway
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and mini-Family Reunion at the Foxdale cottage. Foxdale is beautifully situated and decorated. We would surely stay at this property again. Our hosts were very responsive the one time we reached out to them and addressed the issue later that day. COOK’S NOTES: We cooked 6 breakfasts and 4 dinners, including Thanksgiving dinner. The appliances are new and work well. There's only one paring knife that's sharp, so bring a good chefs knife. They supply 2 or 3 pots, a stainless-steel skillet, and 3 non-stick skillets - 8", 10" and 12" and all three are very worn and should be replaced. The spices available are salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and chili powder - bring anything else you might need. Pros: 1. The Mattresses and linens are top-tier quality. 2. There were plenty of extra bath linens. 3. The kitchen has very nice, new appliances. 4. In warmer months, the screened porches practically double the living area. Cons: 1. The hot water in the upstairs bathroom will come on briefly, then go artic-cold. The owner/manager is aware. 2. The gas fireplace doesn't work. It worked briefly the first night, when it suddenly shut off, and we couldn’t get it back on during the remainder of our visit. 3. The television isn't connected to anything but the DVD player. The TV displayed an error message that no signal was found when switched to cable. 4. Those gorgeous claw-footed tubs. If you are in anyway mobility impaired the tubs will be a challenge.

Perfect cottage for our stay. It was clean & well maintained. Loved the screened in porch. The weather was so mild that we kept the doors to the porch open all night. It was wonderful! We enjoyed the fact that the cottage was 1 mi to town, so we were able to walk.

Perfect cabin for a week or weekend visit
Fresh updates to the property including tasteful decor, modern appliances and comfortable furniture. We loved the easy access to Highlands, the quiet street, and the cozy screen-in porches. Another great feature is having a kitchen on lower and upper leves. Families or friends can have an area on both levels with separate bed and bath for convenience/privacy. Stop by and see the owner at their shop in town! We had a great experience.

Charming cabin..
It is a wonderful place. I gave it three stars for cleanliness because there were moldy coffee grounds in the coffeemaker and the downstairs was very dusty and full of spider webs. You should know that there claw foot tubs In the bathrooms and it is quite a climb to get in to shower. I am 70 so was especially apprehensive. Otherwise, we loved it!

This property is designed with comfort in mind. The bedding is delightful! I loved the high count sheets! From the moment you walk in the door, you will be impressed. The furnishings are upscale. The owner, Melissa, is amazing. Her response time is prompt. Our purpose of the trip was to see snow. Wow, we certainly got that! Thank you for a wonderful visit and your attention to detail. We are scheduling for the future.

Our favorite cabin
The house is perfect but we love the screened back porch the most. The sofa is so comfy, we tend to take naps out there most every day. The house is cozy, convenient to town and on a quiet road.

Excellent short stay!
This is just an adorable cottage/cabin very close to downtown Highlands. Owners were simply great, house is well stocked and ideal for two couples or small family. Staircase downstairs may not be suitable for all, but still a great place. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great shopping in Highlands!

Lovely respite
We had a wonderful 4 days respite from the heat and humidity of August in the South. Foxdale Cottage is indeed rustic chic. It is clean and so well appointed. Loved the clawfoot bath tubs and the sprawling porch. The location was perfect, private but not far from town and the owner so helpful. Hope to come back!

A Week In The Woods
This is a small cabin nestled in the woods. Every window and door looks out into a rich forest. We felt like we were in a tree house. It is a cosy cottage. The upstairs living room seats only 5 or 6 but the seating arrangement is right in front of the fireplace. and is a pleasant place to read or watch television. The huge screened porch is another bonus. The cottage has been professional decorated. The photos don’t do the house justice. It hard to tell how lovely this property really is. We totally enjoyed our stay. PS. Might want to bring your own paper products. The paper towels and toilet paper are very low quality.
