About this property

PERFECT LOCATION-True Walk To Town!

Park the Car and Let the Mountain Fun Begin!

Welcome to your happy place in Highlands! This bright, comfortable, light-filled home boasts a location that’s hard to beat. Park the car, unpack your bags, and forget about driving—downtown is just a leisurely three-block stroll away on an easy, flat walk past Harris Lake. Bring a little snack for the geese and ducks, then keep wandering!
You’re just steps away from everything that makes Highlands so special: fabulous shopping, indulgent spa days, ice cream runs, delicious restaurants, and endless outdoor adventures. Whether you’re planning a full day of exploring or absolutely nothing at all, this is the perfect home base.

Speaking of doing nothing… picture yourself stretched out on the giant front porch, sipping your favorite drink, enjoying a meal with family and friends, and breathing in that wonderful, cool mountain air at 4118 feet above sea level. Now that’s a vacation! And when it’s time to come inside, you’ll find Wi-Fi to keep you connected, an HD flat-screen TV for catching the big game, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax.

Room for Everyone--With five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, there’s space for the whole crew to vacation together comfortably.

The spacious living room features a cozy gas fireplace and an HD flat-screen TV—perfect for movie nights, game days, or unwinding after a day on the trails. The dining table seats 10, so gather everyone around for big family dinners, lively game nights, and stories about the day’s adventures.

The fully equipped kitchen features a huge island that invites everyone to gather around. Whether you’re whipping up breakfast before hitting the trails, preparing a family feast, or simply enjoying coffee and conversation, this kitchen is ready for it all.
And because mountain getaways shouldn’t come with laundry headaches, the house has two washers and dryers. Plus, every bedroom has its own TV, so everyone can wind down their own way after a fun-filled day.

From downtown strolls and lake-side duck feeding to mountain hikes, boutique shopping, and porch-side relaxation, this home puts you right in the middle of the Highlands experience—with all the space and comforts you need to make wonderful memories.

Come for the mountains, stay for the location, and leave already planning your next visit!

If you have a larger family gathering, wedding guests or a big friends' weekend, this house backs up to two other houses of ours with convenient walking paths between: VRBO.com/425273 and VRBO.com/473976.

About the host

Hosted by Laird Memory

Host profile image
We are the Memory/Buntings. And we have been coming to the Highlands for nearly thirty years. We love relaxing and adventuring in the cool mountain air and sharing it all with friends and family. Over this time we have learned what makes a visit special: comfortable surroundings and a great, peaceful location next to everything. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Nothing is worse then going on vacation and spending all your time in the car. We like to park the car and spend our time hiking and exploring Main Street or feeding the ducks by the pond.
