What a great find! Beautiful big rooms, clean, wonderful showers, fantastic breakfast. This place is a real gem. We stayed 2 nights and were sad to leave. Not your average bed & breakfast, more like a tiny hotel. Very easy drive from downtown Highlands. We loved it and hope to return someday!

We decided to take a restful trip to the Highlands area to see the leaves changing and found Mountain Laurel Rest on the internet. It was EVERYTHING we could have wanted and more. The room was large and the bed sooo comfortable. It was the quietest place we have ever stayed. I can't eat wheat and Janie made me gluten... More

Believe all the other 5 star reviews. I think if there was a 6 star we would give it. We stayed here at the end of a three week tour and it was the perfect place to finish, perfect hosts, perfect scenery and hikes, perfect breakfast, pumpkin pancakes were delicious, and really nice fellow guests. The rooms are great, the... More

If you have ever wanted to vacation in the lap of luxury but thought you couldn't afford it, this is your place. Everything here is wonderful. The rooms are huge and beautiful. The linens are luxurious, the bed and pillows are high end, the bathroom to die for, and the food - oh my is it wonderful! This inn is... More

We discovered Mountain Laurel Rest on the internet and are very glad we did! It is tucked away on a mountain side a 20 minute drive from Highlands, NC (only 6 miles, but with lots of winding roads to travel). The owners, Janis and Dave, have created a wonderful B & B with a contemporary design that fits beautifully into... More

We escaped the late August heat of middle Tennessee to visit Highlands, NC, and were so fortunate to stay at Mountain Laurel Rest! Set in a beautiful location in the cool woods, our visit was entirely too short. Our room was large and comfortable, with a plush king bed, table, and sitting area, fantastic steam shower, and, best of all,... More

What a find! We stayed at this new and very comfortable B and B recently. Dave and Janis have created a luxurious, modern, comfortable, restful sanctuary in the woods near Highlands. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The breakfasts were amazing. The gathering room and outside areas were wonderful for visiting with our friends, the proprietors and other guests. We... More

We just spent 3 nights at Mountain Laurel Rest and we loved it. Our days started with a freshly brewed cup of coffee on our private patio, followed by a shower in the HUGE comfortable, clean and modern bathroom. (3 shower heads and a steam shower - loved it!) The amenities smelled delicious and the towels were plush. Breakfast was... More

My husband and I decided to take a road trip, destination unknown until 48 hrs prior. Went on Tripadvisor and found ourselves a piece of heaven! Mountain Laurel Rest is spacious, lovely, clean, warm, inviting, the food is delicious, and the proprietors are a very special couple. The area is full of hiking, waterfalls, shopping, and fine dining. A real... More
