About this property

Banks Cottage on Holt- an easy walk to town

Please read to the end for Important Information about your reservation.

Banks Cottage is a quiet little cottage within walking distance (on sidewalks) to town. Two bedrooms and two baths and all on one easy level, this cottage is the perfect place to call home for a week, or even a month or more.

Comfortable screened porch to enjoy the outdoors- and what a perfect place for a cup of morning coffee, or an afternoon glass of wine and a good book. The living area has a native stone wood burning fireplace* with a gas starter, Flat screen TV with basic Cable TV, WiFi and comfortable seating. Open kitchen is inviting and updated to make it easier for your cooking, dining and entertaining. The main bedroom has a queen bed and private bath, the guest bedroom has a queen bed. A second full bath is in the hallway. The washer/dryer area is convenient to both bedrooms and bathrooms. Both bedrooms have NEW bedding (2023)

Surrounded by beautiful old trees and lush rhododendron and mountain laurels, all of which help keep this home air-conditioned by nature, but for those days when you need a little extra coolness, this home has a new (2023) HVAC system.

There are family games available for the days you need to stay inside, and the Holt Knob area has several little lanes that are great for walking when you want a nice, close hike. The town of Highlands has lots to explore including The Bascom , shopping and dining in of the eclectic places, more hiking on the Greenway Trails, catching a movie or live show at the Highlands Playhouse or Performing Arts Center, and swimming at the year-round heated pool at the Recreation Center, and that is just the beginning.

MOST HOLIDAYS ARE A ONE-WEEK MINIMUM
The rental app you are using may allow you to make two or three-night rentals during these times, but that doesn't mean the reservation will be honored.

Not exactly....

Cozy cottage with busy decoration & lots of clutter. Walking to town in 10 minutes is impossible; false description. There is no sidewalk within at least 1 mile of any downtown sidewalks. Hot water heater is moribund & may not last the summer. Beds are both terrible--deal-breakers! Thank goodness for the property mgrs, who acted quickly to put plywood board beneath & memory foam topper above those mattresses. We could not have lasted 2 weeks with those beds. The neighborhood is lovely & quiet, with little traffic, on a hill above the road to town; but don't even think about walking to town along that busy road! Highlands is a friendly, casual, & very pretty town with lots to do.
