Sometimes the best vacation home is the one that gets out of its own way — where the layout just works, the outdoor spaces flow into each other naturally, and by day two everyone has found their spot and settled in like they've been coming here for years.
That's Little Bear Pen.
A beautifully renovated single-level home with a bright, open floor plan, multiple private bedroom suites, a screened porch with a wood-burning fireplace, and a wraparound deck with more entry points and seating areas than you'll know what to do with. Easy to navigate, genuinely comfortable, and designed for the kind of trip where relaxing isn't an afterthought — it's the whole point.
Inside: Open, Bright, and Surprisingly Easy -The single-level layout is one of those features that sounds practical and turns out to be transformative — no stairs between bedrooms and kitchen, no navigating the house in the dark, no one feeling separated from the group. The open floor plan keeps the living, dining, and kitchen spaces connected without crowding them, and the well-equipped kitchen with its gas stove anchors one end of the home with a large rustic dining table that makes group meals feel like an event worth lingering over. Each bedroom comes with its own private bathroom — a detail that eliminates the morning negotiation entirely and somehow makes the whole trip run smoother.
Outside: Where Little Bear Pen Really Lives. The outdoor layout here is quietly exceptional — and more expansive than it first appears. A covered front porch with two sets of rocking chairs handles the slow mornings, the afternoon reads, and the evenings when the view is enough. Off the dining room, a screened-in porch with a wood-burning fireplace and its own dining table becomes the natural gathering point for everyone — sheltered enough for unpredictable mountain weather, open enough to feel like outside. An uncovered deck connects the screened porch to the kitchen on one side and to the primary bedroom and guest room on the other, creating a continuous outdoor loop that means someone always has somewhere comfortable to be.
Multiple entry points. Multiple seating areas. One very well-designed outdoor experience.
The Flow is the Feature What makes this property special isn't any single room or any single view — it's the way everything connects. Primary bedroom to deck to screened porch. Kitchen to deck to rocking chairs out front. Dining room to porch to fireplace. The house was designed for people to move through it freely, find their corner, and not feel like they have to go looking for comfort. It's just there, wherever you end up.
Downtown Highlands is a short drive away — restaurants, shops, waterfalls, and trails all within easy reach. But between the rocking chairs, the screened porch fireplace, and a deck that wraps the whole home together, you may find that leaving requires more motivation than expected.
What our guests are saying…
"Perfect mountain getaway. The house is the perfect location in the mountains and only a very short drive into The downtown. I really did not want to leave. We had cozy fires and they even provided the firewood for us! Will definitely want to come back!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Dina
