About this property

IN TOWN! 2 Blocks From Main Street. 2 Bedrooms/2 Baths. Free WiFi. Sleeps 4.

Your Cozy Highlands Hideaway — Park, Unpack, and Let the Fun Begin!

Leave the car keys on the counter and your worries at the door! This recently renovated retreat is the perfect getaway for friends or family, combining comfort, charm, and an unbeatable location.

The thoughtfully arranged space features a king bed and full bath on one side of the great room, with two twin beds and another full bath on the other. Whether you're traveling with your favorite people or planning a family escape, everyone has a cozy place to settle in.

And the location? It's hard to beat! Just two blocks from Main Street, you can skip the parking hunt and stroll into town for your morning coffee, world-class shopping, a little spa-day pampering, ice cream treats, or a delicious meal at one of Highlands' fabulous restaurants. Ready for adventure? Countless outdoor escapes are just a short trip away!

Prefer to take it easy? Cozy up by the fireplace and stay connected with Wi-Fi, catch the big game on the HD flat-screen TV, or kick back on the covered front porch and soak up the beautiful mountain climate at 4118 feet above sea level. Take a deep breath, enjoy the fresh air, and let the stress melt away.
And here's a little bonus: Harris Lake is just a few steps away! Take a leisurely stroll by the water and say hello to the resident ducks and geese. Feel free to bring a little snack for your feathered friends—they amazingly ALWAYS seem hungry!
Close to town, steps from the lake, and full of mountain charm—this is your spot to relax, recharge, and make some wonderful Highlands memories!

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/1426174.

Charming home in a perfect location. We parked the car upon arrival and were able to walk to all our favorite spots in town. The owners were responsive and helpful when needed. I’d be happy to stay there again. The only thing I would add would be soft seating on the porch.

We had a great stay! Accommodations are exactly as described. Super close walk to downtown. Comfortable beds. Our toddler enjoyed having plenty of room and yard to move around. Love the fireplace, but definitely recommended using Duraflame logs with the local wood. We will be back next time in Highlands.

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.

What makes this property unique

All of Highlands within reach.
