Response from VrboOwner on Aug 1, 2026
I’m sorry you did not think the property was clean. It was cleaned right before your stay. You asked for an early check in due to leaving another property you were unhappy with which I granted. I think highlands maybe isn’t for you. I have no control over cell phone service in the mountains. The WiFi is 1 gig but can have issues with the local companies as well. Sorry it didn’t meet your standards.

We had a wonderful trip. I would recommend this place to anyone. I would say that the house is very close to the water. Which is wonderful and makes it just a beautiful scenery. However, we had a one year-old so we had to constantly watch her carefully. This is not a negative. I’m just letting you know so be prepared. The place seemed very clean and to check in and out.

Beautiful setting with all the items to enjoy the lake! House is perfect with open kitchen with living room for everyone to be together. Nice porch and dock looking onto the lake. Great for mornings and afternoons! We took the canoe out on the lake. So pretty and relaxing. House is close to town and On the Veranda restaurant. Only downside is the road noise.
