Location

Surrounded by the lush foliage by which this 3-level private mountain retreat get its' name, The Loblolly sits on almost 8 acres and is located approx. 8 minutes from downtown Highlands. This is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath log cabin that has year-round panoramic views of Brushy Face and Satulah Mountain.
On the main level, you will find the open kitchen and dining room divided by a stone fireplace, with access to the rear covered porch that spans the length of the house. Around the corner is the main living room with another stone fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating. A (King) bedroom and full bathroom share a small hallway on this level as well.
Upper level has a spacious Master Suite with a King bed and attached full bathroom, as well as 2 Queen bedrooms next to another full bathroom.
Downstairs features a cozy lower den with a large couch, a high-top card table, antique fireplace, and access to laundry units and a second covered porch. There's also a 5th bedroom with two twins that sits at the base of the stairs.
Outdoors, the double-decked porches extend the entire length of the backside of the home for guests to enjoy many leisurely afternoons admiring the mountain view in the cool Highlands air. The paved driveway ends in a small firepit seating area to enjoy the warmth of a smoky campfire next to this peaceful mountain home.
No more "Pine"-ing for a mountain vacation -- book a stay at The Loblolly! 😉

--It is suggested to have an AWD vehicle. The paved driveway starts right off of the highway but has a steep downhill to the house which may be difficult to navigate in adverse weather.--

We came here for July 4th and our youngest son's 14th birthday. It was a great trip and the house was so cozy. Lots of fun things to do nearby, we enjoyed the firepit and the back porch so much!

Beautiful area! Secret Falls is a local gem (around the corner). Hiked up the mountain that you can see from the back porch and I swear we could see the cabin. Awesome place to recharge before football season... Go Rebs!

Awesome weekend getaway!

by Hunter Burlison

If you are looking for a quick, out of the blue, weekend getaway or even a week long family trip; this is the place! It’s the perfect location from the main strip and hiking trails with incredible views and even some with secrete little water holes to swim in. I Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!

Get Away, with lots to do!

by Bethany Foster

So peaceful with so much to do. Our kids loved exploring the surrounding area, fire pit and making forts. Town is so close by and we shopped, ate and checked out the local waterfalls. Can’t wait to come back! House couldn’t be better! 5 super comfy spaces to sleep and the back porch- didn’t want to leave!
