Excellent property! We really enjoyed our stay, super responsive host and everything was beautiful and matched the pictures in the listing. Well stocked with quality amenities which is always a treat. The big porch with the large outdoor seating was perfect for a glass of wine. The layout was good for families and wow, the beds were incredibly comfy! We will be back!

Kathy was a wonderful host! She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our lengthy stay. The house was spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated! It was close to downtown Highlands yet we felt so secluded in the woods. She gave us recommendations for hikes to waterfalls, great restaurants and shopping! I highly recommend booking this place! Thank you Kathy and Tony for being wonderful hosts!

Great property Great hosts

My wife and I spent two and a half months at this property and loved it ! It was super clean and very well equipped. If you are looking for a private/mountain experience this is the perfect location. Close to town with a quiet mountain feel. I would definitely go back.

This is probably the best VRBO where we have ever stayed. The house is extremely nice, it is equipped with everything you would need, it is beautifully furnished, the landscaping is amazing and it has a wonderful upstairs veranda where we spent many hours. Kathy lives next door and was always available to answer any questions and to provide recommendations for restaurants, activities, etc. Our stay at this home could not have been any better.

Dream Property

Fantastic property and amazing hosts. My wife, two young daughters send two dogs spent the week at this house. The house is beautiful and the hosts have obviously put a lot of thought into the accommodations. The location is stunning and very close to so many great hiking trails, waterfalls, shopping, and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property.

Rest and relaxation

We really enjoyed our stay. The host Kathy and husband were very helpful and had the house very well stocked. Everything was very clean and ready for us. The location was perfect and very convenient to downtown Highlands. The neighborhood was good for walking your dog. The deck patio area was a very serene setting in the woods. I would recommend this rental and would definitely consider staying here again when coming back to Highlands.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are pet friendly owners who fell in love with Highlands 5 years ago, and now have the pleasure of being residents

Why they chose this property

It’s in a secluded area, off Billy Cabin Road, but great for local neighborhood walks and longer hikes, right from the house. A 30 minute stroll puts you at a water fall with swimming area that’s pretty much a local secret. Greatly for pups and kids who like to swim in cold fresh mountain water. You can use a hybrid or mountain bike locally and get 3 hills in safely for a very good scenic workout. The area is very quiet and safe with minimal passing traffic, in a 4 house cul de sac surrounded by forest. Even so, its less than 5 minutes to an Ace Hardware, a great BBQ Smokehouse and Main St Highlands.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet with options to really enjoy the outdoors, even in winter.
