Property Description
Firefly Cottage invites you to experience the charm of Historic Horse Cove, just 8 minutes from Main Street Highlands. This unrestricted property is currently a thriving vacation rental and offers endless possibilities—whether as a private retreat or continued income-producing investment. Bordering the soothing waters of Edwards Creek, the cottage welcomes you with a light-filled interior featuring vaulted ceilings with striking dark beams and warm hardwood floors. A stunning stone fireplace anchors the living room, while the screened porch off the main level expands your entertaining space. A spacious grilling deck is perfect for outside cooking and entertaining guests. The lower level hosts the primary suite, complete with its own fireplace, and both bedrooms open onto a second screened porch with tranquil creek views. Thoughtful details like heated bathroom floors add comfort throughout. Outdoors, gather around the firepit to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the bubbling creek, or watch fireflies dance across the beautifully landscaped yard. There is abundant wildlife to see at this property! The home is offered furnished with a few exceptions, making it move-in ready for your personal mountain getaway or a seamless continuation as a vacation rental. Firefly Cottage is truly a place where memories are made.
