Finding the perfect vacation rental for your Seven Springs getaway can be a challenge. Many factors come into play when comparing destinations. For many, the answer lies within the walls of the idyllic cabins that surround the resort property.
Highlands Cabins offers seven rustic cabins that dot the landscape around the edges of Seven Springs Mountain Resort, as well as two luxury townhomes located within the communities at the top of the famous mountain. Housing from 4 to 16 guests, each cabin and townhome offers a unique setting and a distinct Laurel Highlands getaway experience. You wouldn’t know that the cabins are located no more than two miles from the base of the slopes, with most located under a mile and a half. Not only featuring prime locations, the stone and timber cabins offer supreme privacy with surroundings that take full advantage of the tranquility of the Laurel Highlands.
