Charming and Unique Log Cabin with Beautiful Garden Setting
Scout's Retreat is a uniquely decorated log cabin with a stackstone fireplace and surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden with native rhododendrum, mountain laurel and hemlocks. Located on a private road, one mile from downtown Highlands on the Rhododendron Trail.

The den features a stackstone fireplace, antique hand hewn beams and walls with large tv and comfortable seating and has access to the side garden. The dining room which offers seating for eight opens to a screen-in porch overlooking the back yard. Fully equipped kitchen has a gas range and bar area with island seating. Both kitchen and dining area have access to the screen porch.
Two bedrooms downstairs (one with twin beds and the other with a queen bed) are uniquely decorated with antiques. Both bedrooms have private natural stone baths.
The upstair tastefully decorated master bedroom features a queen size bed with seating area, antique chest, tv and hand hewn log open ceiling. A private bathroom features a natural stone shower with a dressing table area.
