Nestled in nature and steeped in heritage, this tranquil retreat invites relaxation and reflection.  While at Highland Nook, you'll feel a call to peace, connection, and the grounding presence of the land itself.

To begin your journey of peace and relaxation, from the moment you arrive at Highland Nook, head straight downstairs to the cedar-line, handmade Finnish sauna!  Saunas have a lot of health benefits and can help reduce stress and improve sleep.  You'll also find a 6 person hot tub outside on the deck.

Comfortable and unique, the cabin is filled with traditional log cabin decor and has ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms and living areas. Cedar wood lines the walls and truly shows off the unique style of the cabin. Sink into the leather couch in front of the fireplace in the living area and relax. 
 
The fully-equipped kitchen is a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. With granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a Keurig, a 12-cup coffee maker, a griddle, a blender, a waffle maker, and a mini food processor, you can make some incredible meals.
 
The outdoor amenities overlook a beautiful area and are vast!  The mountain view here overlooking the valley below will mesmerize you.  Enjoy a screened-in porch, rocking chairs, a warm and inviting fire pit, a hot tub after those long days of exploring the area, a gas grill, and seating for dining. This is a perfect spot in the cabin to spend late nights relaxing and reminiscing about the day of fun you just had.
 
When it is time for bed, multiple king suites await you. Each bedroom has lovely log beds in each. The upper king master has cathedral ceilings and a balcony, and the lower king bedroom opens to the deck. Plus, there are twin beds in the basement nook for even more space.
 
Exploring the region has never been easier - the cabin is close to wonderful things to see and do, including the Blue Ridge Train, Morganton Point Landing, immense mountain views, scenic drives in every direction from the cabin, waterfalls, and so much more.

The layout is perfect for groups/family. You can be close together, but also have areas to break away and have some quiet time. The outside screened in patio area with the tv was wonderful!

We loved everything about the cabin. It was well equipped. I loved having the Christmas tree. We enjoyed the fire pit, decks and the jacuzzi.

Our stay at Cruach Mor was nothing short of perfection and made a wonderful family experience! The beautiful three story home offered a comfortable stay for everyone – every space in the home was utilized to the full. When we arrived the home was immaculate and felt like a second home immediately. The plentifully equipped kitchen allowed us to cook meals with ease. The dining room was a great place to gather for meals and play board games. The centrally located living room with gas fireplace and comfortable sectional couch was the hub of the home each day. The loft offered a warm place to relax and do crafts or curl up and read a book, and the secondary living room was great for watching movies. The large windows and wrap around porches were a great way to take in the sights and relax. The spacious king bedrooms provided peaceful places to retire to each night. Management was fantastic anytime we had questions or needed anything, both prior to, and during our stay. We will definitely be recommending Cruach Mor and Escape to Blue Ridge to anyone looking for an awesome vacation experience. All staff we interacted with was wonderful from start to finish. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience!
