We absolutely loved our stay here! The home is beautifully and professionally decorated, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly equipped with everything we needed to make great meals. The location is fantastic—so convenient to Highlands’ wonderful restaurants, shopping, and hiking. The host was great and made everything easy from start to finish. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it!

Well decorated home creating warm environment to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend. Great kitchen supplies and utensils. Back yard was perfect although a little chilly to enjoy in November. Little blip on check-in as I didn’t receive a text with details but remedied very quickly. Highly recommend.

I’d like to move in.

This is hands-down my favorite rental property I’ve stayed at! SO cozy, relaxing, incredible location - just loved it. I’m kicking myself for forgetting to look at the mattress brand it was that comfy. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others!

Fabulous as usual!

This was the second time our family stayed in this beautiful, well appointed Highlands home. The location is perfect as it is only 5 minutes to downtown Highlands. The kitchen was stocked full of nice kitchenware and the beds were so comfy! Added bonus was drinking coffee in front of the fireplace each morning! Can’t wait to return.
