About this property

Above a Wine Shoppe...Downtown Highlands!

Walk anywhere!! In-Town Property.


I can't think of a better place to be than Highlands, NC. The only thing better is a location with the ability to walk everywhere in town and be above a Wine Shoppe! You will access to our Main St. facing front yard with fire pit, tables and chairs. The end to a perfect evening is having a glass of wine while sitting by the fire pit.

Our apartment was remodeled in 2017. Most of the work was done by my Father (a retired Highlands builder). We wanted to keep the characteristics of Highlands but offer modern amenities. Our property is #1 on the Historical Registry for Highlands.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The apartment was spacious and as pictured, and the bed was very comfortable. Close proximity to downtown Highland's restaurants and shops. We enjoyed relaxing in the front yard of The Wine Shoppe. However, a word of caution to those with limitations, be prepared there are 20 steps to climb to reach the apartment.

This is such a cute place right in town. We were looking for something with walkability in the downtown area, and this fit the bill. So close to most restaurants and several walking trails. It was so delightful to go downstairs grab some wine and sit out under the trees while people watching.The kitchen was fully stocked with just about anything you would need. Our only issue was we received the wrong code from VRBO to access the front door. Thank goodness the Wine Shoppe was open and they were able to assist us.

The host was extremely friendly and on site. They made the stay very comfortable. The unit had everything you would need for even an extended stay. The afternoon and evening crowds in the front gathering area was a great experience. Be aware of being upstairs, there will be some stairs to take your luggage up. Would not hesitate to stay again.

We loved it here; it is the perfect location in downtown Highlands! It was walkable to everything in the Highlands, and more spacious than the pictures make it look. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to the Highlands! A couple things to note: the porch furniture was a little lacking (not what is shown in the photos) and the only thermostat for the building is in the wine shop, so you have to text the owner to have the temperature adjusted. That said, the temperature setting was fine and we did not need it altered during our stay. Aside from these items, everything was perfect, and the owner was great at communicating.
