Great house, host meets you to go thru all amenities, furnished great, lots of space for a big group and convenient to downtown Highlands. View is fantastic!
The home was beautiful and perfect for our large family gathering. The three generations were able to spread out and enjoy. We were personally welcomed by our concierge and she lead us through the house and showed us what we needed to know to make our stay go smoothly. We would absolutely stay again!!
View is fabulous!! We had 6 adults and 4 teenagers - more room than we needed. Everything that you need for this stay is at the house. A great room with glass on two sides, kitchen space, table that could seat 15 - 20 (my guess - more than we needed for 10). Everything is first class.
This was an exceptional house with a view the owner and the hostess made it very special with a lot of amenities!All of us loved it and the amazing view!We plan to return at some point!Highly recommended!
The views from this house are absolutely jaw-dropping and breathtaking! Pictures do not do it justice! It was a wonderful place to celebrate our dad's birthday and the outdoor spaces are wonderful for larger family gatherings!
We had an incredible stay at Valentine Manor. Everything is top notch. From the moment we booked, the experience has been perfect. The house was above and beyond what we expected. The property Manager was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. The views were breathtaking. I can not say enough positive things about this home!
I wouldn't believe that our second visit to Valentine Manor would exceed our first. I was very wrong. The house is spacious, comfortable and provides many extras to make your stay special. This time the large outer kitchen/dining area became the focal point of our visit. The area has the advantage of not only being large and comfortable but also the option to be open or enclosed giving you its use at all times...day or night. Also, the view is still incredible from many locations of the home! If you want to spend a remarkable time with family and friends, then Valentine Manor is the place!
Perfect! We loved the place! Convenient to town yet private with beautiful long range mountain views. The house has everything you need. Great communication. No problems at all. Five Stars!
The house was wonderful.. room for everyone to have their own space and rooms for us all to be together!!! Owner/host thought of everything we would want and/or need! Outdoor spaces (glassed in and open deck) were amazing as was the amazing view! We did not want to leave!!! Also.. cannot forget how beautiful the grounds were.. so many pretty flowers and trees!!! We willBe back!!!
The house was large and beautiful, the view our to die for! We spent most of our time on the amazing closed in patio. Everything you could possibly need was in the house. Janet the property manager, was great. She had us a beautiful charcuterie board, wine, and flowers for us. She gave a quick tour of the property. We definitely will stay here again.
The house, property manager, and stay was beyond fantastic. Everything is very accurate in the pictures, and they location and views are amazing. With plenty of space for guests and activities this is a property that we will absolutely book again!
The house was perfect. There were 5 couples staying there. The back porch was our favorite gathering place.
The house was completely stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful property with spacious rooms, well stocked in every way (linens, towels, coffee and coffee makers, kitchen, appliances). The concierge was so helpful introducing us to all the amenities and greeting us with wine, charcuterie, welcome cake and makings for s’mores.
Great house enjoyed by young and old
Porches and view are incredible. Teens had time with us but loved the movie theater
5 stars for house and our hostess who provided welcome that included cake, welcome tray, flowers and everything for
Somores!
This has to be the number one home in Highlands. Clean, pristine and a warm welcome! The Owners have thought of everything that could make your stay the best ever. We’ll be back!!
Just finished up our 2nd stay at Valentine Manor and had just as lovely a stay. The updated outdoor space is wonderful, and Janet was perfect in her communications (just enough but never intruding). We are already talking about when we come back next year. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
We cannot say enough good things about this property! The view was amazing! The owners thought of everything with coffee stations in all the bedrooms, media room, pool table/ping pong table, beautiful big porch with a an outdoor kitchen on the way. There is something for all ages. It’s really a perfect rental for a large family group. We can’t say enough good things about it! We look forward to our next stay.
The only place we ever rented where pictures of the house and views did not do it justice. Also ratings should be 5 plus. Our entire family including seniors, adults and young children loved the house and our stay.
Our stay was fantastic! You can not ask for a better house in Highlands to stay at!! The view, the house, and Janet who made all things possible! You can not go wrong with this house. We had everything provided for us that we needed and more! The house is huge with several new features! We hired a private chef for our last night and it was phenomenal! We will come again!
