About the host
Hosted by Phil & Holly
We live in Atlanta and enjoy travelling to Highlands all year long.
Why they chose this property
We just loved the mid-century architecture and the privacy of the one acre lot. We own the private one acre undeveloped lot next door as well - adding yet another layer of privacy and seclusion.
What makes this property unique
The location was one of the key reasons we bought Dolly Lodge. We can walk to our canoe at Mirror Lake and drive to town in five minutes for groceries and enjoy the restaurants, shopping and wine bars : )
