Witt's End at Mill Creek is a quaint mountain cottage that is walk to town -- only 2 blocks from Main Street Highlands, NC! Privately set down a small wooded cul-de-sac road, enjoy the in-town convenience but with the sounds of the creek and nature from the screened in porch.
The main living area includes soaring cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows around a stone gas fireplace for lots of natural light in this open living/dining/kitchen floor plan.
The Main level master bedroom offers a King-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Also on this level is a guest bedroom that includes two twin beds and another full bathroom in the hallway. Upstairs is a bonus Master Suite with a King bed and an ensuite bath with a soaking tub.
Off the living room is a spacious screened porch with an outdoor dining area, cozy seating and access to the open deck with grill. Walk down to the lower open deck and relax your day away listening to the sounds of the rushing creek below.
There's no better place to be when you're at your "Witt's End" than here in Highlands!

A real hidden gem of Highlands - a house that is walkable/easily accessible to the main downtown area. We loved staying here, and getting to walk to dinner/shop/ice cream etc. The house itself has everything you could need - all of the basics, plus a great fireplace and outdoor porch. The communication was excellent the whole time, and we felt in good hands throughout our weekend. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at this house that is literally 2 minute walk from the main street in Highlands. Beautiful quiet location with a creek right outside the back door. Screened in porch allows a quiet relaxing place to sit and listen to the water sounds. A bit dated bathrooms but very clean and well appointed. Property manager was VERY accommodating and extremely responsive. Would definitely stay again!

We loved the house. It was very well taken care of, clean, had everything we needed, sensible layout. The back porch was lovely and we enjoyed many meals there. Location was also great and we could walk to the main street easily.Loved the emails and links with instructions, information and other communication before our trip. Made things a lot easier. Y'all were also super responsive when I had questions, so really appreciated that.

Wonderful location, short walk to Main Street. Very open and clean, we were four adults and we felt very comfortable and not crowded. Well stocked kitchen with extras such as seasonings and plenty of utensils and cookware. The beautiful sounds of water flowing in the creek heard from the deck and screened porch were nice. It was also nice to be able to bring our dogs with us! Highly recommended.Caitlyn was available and very informative, helpful and polite.

Your team was remarkable. The process was easy, and the communications before, during, and after our stay were succinct, informative, and professional. When the gas on the grill ran out, I called to see where we should seek a refilled cannister, and your team came to our rescue in minutes! Exceptional service.

My only comment would be regarding the deck overlooking Mill Creek. I booked the property based on the assumption that the deck in the photos would be available for our use. (My bad for not asking) The stairway to the deck was questionable, the path was overgrown and the deck very slippery. We would have loved to sit out and have coffee by the creek during our stay. Obviously not a deal breaker though. Thanks for your hospitality!Great team, easy to work with!
