This lake home has much to offer with high speed fiber internet, wood burning fireplace and backyard wood burning fire-pit. Get the entire experience with kayaks included to enjoy Lake Sequoyah. This wonderful home is less than a 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands and is just down the road from On The Verandah!

For Hikers there is plenty of trails to explore from nearby Whiteside Mountain to Sunset Rock in town, and right down the road are both Dry Falls and Bridal Veil.

Beautiful home! Had all we needed and more. Holly was very clear on all instructions for the home. My family and I used the kayak’s supplied. It was a delightful stay. It was very close to all the hikes we wanted to do and town restaurants and shopping. The home was very clean and comfy. We’d stay at Holly’s home again!
