Restful Retreat

This home is perfectly situated near many quaint towns for shopping and dining, as well as hiking, falls, and adventurous zip lines and family ropes courses. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and even left gourmet cinnamon rolls for us to bake our first morning there. We can’t wait to come back!

Family Highlands Vacation

Memories that will last a lifetime were made in this lovely home just outside of Highlands, NC. The owner was very easy to communicate with and provided us with everything we needed. There were even cinnamon rolls in the freezer for us to cook one morning. We enjoyed hiking, zip-lining, and LOTS of Monopoly! Property was very clean and accurately described. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Home in a Lovely Setting

We had a wonderful stay at the NestleInn. The house was beautiful, updated, well-stocked, and very clean. Close to activities and only about 20 minutes drive to Highlands. Easiest check in we’ve ever had at a rental home and excellent communication from the owner. Would absolutely stay there again.

Great mountain home

Had a great stay in Scaly Mountain! Will definitely be back again. Worth noting, the route to Highlands from the house is closed due to the hurricane washing out the road. Apparently it’ll be fixed in January. Not a huge issue though, just have to go the long way

There are so many places to relax and spread out. I'll definitely be returning. And Linda is super communicative if anything arrises.

Love NestleInn

NestleInn is a wonderful property where every need is provided for. It is lovely and secluded for peace and rest, yet a short drive into Highlands and other area towns. It is by far the most comfortable house we've stayed in for an extended vacation. The decor is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and several good outdoor spaces to relax. Linda and Bill tend to every detail and communication was excellent. Anyone thinking of booking needs to do it. You will not be sorry!

My wife and I rented out this property for a weekend get away and had to force ourselves to go out and explore the surrounding areas. The house was so comfy and perfect that we didn’t want to leave. We hope to be back again soon for another weekend getaway. Linda was a great host and made sure we were well taken care of. Great place to stay.

Peaceful Mountain Getaway

This was our first time at NestleInn and we loved our time there! The house was easy to find (roads were not scary), not far from town, and had so many amenities. We loved our dinners on the patio and our snacks by the fire pit each evening as we awaited firefly sightings (a first for us Floridians). From the lovely bedding to the well stocked bathrooms, the attention to detail is impressive. The house is extremely well maintained and the thoughtfulness of Linda and Bill is evident throughout. We look forward to a return visit!

High end finishes, fixtures and decor. Very nice and comfortable home. Nice bedding, excellent bathrooms. Kitchen is well equipped. Easy drive to Highlands area. One of the best information / local guide packets I have ever seen in a rental property. So many things to do in the area. I recommend lunch at Wild Thymes Gourmet in Highlands.

Quiet Escape

This place was great! It was beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need, both inside and outside! It is located down a very quiet, private drive which instantly makes you feel on vacation. The beautiful fire pit was great for relaxing after our hike and walk around the Highlands. The beds were so comfortable - I think we got the best sleep we’ve had in months! Linda was so helpful and quick to respond. We can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Kirkman

Host profile image
My husband, Bill, and I lived in Atlanta for most of our adult lives and in 2004 bought a mountain home on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau in Scaly Mountain. We spent most weekends escaping city life and over the years we started spending more and more time in the mountains. In 2018 we sold our Atlanta house and now live in Scaly Mountain full time. We bought our next-door neighbor's house in the mountains in December 2020 and after 6 months of renovation, it became NestleInn. We look forward to sharing our little piece of paradise with you.
