10x better than the photos
I was so pleasantly surprised with the property. It’s HUGE, scenic, beautiful and the houses are newly renovated. The owner was extremely helpful and reachable via text to the hot tub on (many times) and even drove to the end of the driveway to pick up an Amazon package. Can’t recommend this place more!

Great Stay Very Flexible
We really enjoyed our stay here! The property is gorgeous and huge. The pool was awesome and there was even a slip n slide! Robin was really responsive and when we had a Covid scare a week before the reservation, he was willing to work with us on rescheduling. We were able to keep our original dates but it was awesome he was willing to be flexible, most hosts would not have been!

Perfect for our large group.
Robin and The Highland were perfect for our family vacation. The homes were gorgeous and fully stocked. Robin was so attentive and the initial tour of the property was perfect. If you are looking for a gorgeous property in the Texas Hill country with comfy beds, beautiful views and space to just gather and hang out then this is the place.

Great for department retreat
Robin was an excellent and generous host! We had our resident department retreat here, and everyone loved it. There was so much room to break off into whatever activity you wanted to do. Everyone had a place to sleep; Robin also had extra air mattresses when needed. I believe we will likely return next year if possible.

I, Robin, the youngest of the 5 brothers (not so much a baby anymore), always wanted a hospitality business. So my wife (Rolyn) and I have built The Highland into a "kind of" mini-Resort. So it's our pleasure to invite you to share in this Wonderful Vacation Rental, whether you are a Family, a Business, a Group of Friends, or want to have a Small Event (please ask about this service), we welcome you.
