Travel Note
Highlands is a very popular destination so please do not wait until the last minute to book accommodations! The town is small with only boutique hotels so it does get booked up very fast. The closest chain hotels are 25-45 minutes away on the far side of Cashiers or in Franklin. Cullowhee, NC is a town about 1-hour away (approx. 30 miles) from Highlands that is home to Western North Carolina University and will also have lots of hotel and home rental options as well. The Hotels listed below are not the only options by any means! You can also find various options from true cabins in the middle of nowhere to apartments and suites in the heart of highlands on VRBO and AirBnB. There are some absolute gems available for less per night than a hotel room, especially if you coordinate with friends or family to share a larger home. If you need some help or suggestions, please let us know, we're more than happy to help!
