We lacked for nothing. We were very close to town and some great trails. The back porch was so nice and the inside fireplace was perfect. We would highly recommend for two people
The host was excellent at communication and very helpful. The location is very central and the space is on the smaller side but if the weather cooperates, the outside space compensates!
Carole was extremely communicative and called when I wasn't able to find the check-in information. The space was cozy and we definitely used the fireplace! The kitchen was well stocked for basic cooking, and everything was clean. We wold definitely come back!
Loved it!! The apartment is very comfortable, clean and located close to town. The fireplace and fire pit make for a relaxing evening inside and outside.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Very convenient location. The “cottage” is actually the basement of a house,but it was private. It could really use some TLC,a thorough cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. It has a very damp,musty smell. On the positive side it does take pets and is convenience to town is great.
Was very clean and warm and cozy. The house was fully stocked with all the essentials and was quite, but near town.Carole , the host could not of been nicer and helpful. Would definitely go back again.
This property was perfect for my husband and me. We also brought our small dog with us. The weather did not cooperate with us, but we took advantage of the large screened in porch and enjoyed breakfast and coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the late afternoon. The Highlands has wonderful restaurants, so make sure you visit them during your stay. Carole the host was wonderful and answered any questions we had. She made sure to inform us about the area and things to do.
This property was perfect for a couple's weekend getaway to Highlands. It was close and easy to get to town. The property was nicely appointed for our stay. The screened in porch was our favorite feature, which included a sitting area as well as a dining table.
This is an adorable and homey vrbo rental. Very close to Highlands Main St for breakfast and dinner and shopping. Easy to get to waterfalls. I was dropping my daughter off at camp and we stayed here 2 nights and had a perfect visit. Would stay again!
This Highlands home was perfect for our weekend at the Food and Wine Festival:) Such a beautiful and cozy mountain home in a quiet neighborhood! Carole was super responsive if we needed anything at all, which we didn’t, but she checked on us to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be back here, and also check out Carole’s other listings!
