A large, airy, mountain home.
This was a beautifully appointed home. The host has thought of all things that would make you comfortable. This home was very spacious, lots of areas to have conversations or to read, which we loved. It was extremely clean (and we did our best to keep it that way, following the host’s request to remove our shoes upon entry). We chose this home mainly because of the location. It is very close to downtown Highlands. Our host was extremely responsive to any questions that we had. As with any mountain home, there will be stairs, but if you have someone in your group who is not comfortable with the stairs, they can stay on the first floor. This is a great place for gatherings of friends or family. The fireplace makes the main room very cozy. I only wish that we could’ve stayed here longer.

Beautiful home
Beautiful home. We were in town for a wedding and stayed at this house with friends and family. It was spacious and beautiful. The location was so convenient to downtown. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Highlands!

Amazing property for great friends weekend in the mountains
This beautiful home is updated and beautifully decorated. The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. The open plan for the common areas is conducive for large groups to celebrate holidays, share stories, or watch football together while snacking. The deck is large and the area quiet. It is close enough to town to enjoy the shops and restaurants yet far enough away to feel like you are away in the mountains. The owner is great to work with, attentive to details, and goes out of the way to be accomodating. We loved this home for our friends getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy

Host profile image
We love the mountains, everywhere and anywhere. We have been coming specifically to this area for years and love the cool weather, great restaurants, hiking, and activities offered. There is something for everyone.

Why they chose this property

We found this property through friends who bought their place a few years ago and come up a lot for weekends. Being so close to town and on a very quiet street with walkability into Highlands and close to amazing hiking spots ticked off all our boxes.
We are only a short meander up from the Highlands School and Main Street and Old Edwards Inn and Spa! This place really has it all. We never expected to find a perfect spot for our family and friends to gather.

What makes this property unique

Drive up for a long weekend and unwind. We are on a quiet street that is so close to town and tucked away from it all.

We can look at the mountains and walk to town in 8 minutes or drive in less than one. We designed the house so that three couples could each enjoy a floor of their own. Every couple gets their own King-sized bed, and the bunks are perfect for bringing your family. Guests can come together in the main kitchen and living room area, plus there's another living room and also a loft space. Everyone gets an equally relaxing and place to stay.
