About this property

This is a recently renovated house in a can't beat location! Park the car and walk to town! The stroll to Main Street is only three blocks and an easy flat walk past Harris Lake (where you can feed the geese or do a little fishing). You're just a stone's throw from world class shopping, a day at the spa, ice cream shops, great restaurants, or countless outdoor adventures. The wifi will let you stay plugged in, the HD flat screen will let you catch the game, and a giant front porch ready for lounging or dining lets you just sit and enjoy the cool mountain air at 4118 feet above sea level.

The house features five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms: a king bedroom with an en suite bathroom, two queen bedrooms that share a full bath and a queen bedroom and a bedroom with two twins that share the third full bathroom. The large living room has a gas fireplace and an HD flat screen TV. The dining table seats 10. A fully equipped kitchen and huge island wait for you to gather around. The house also has two washer and dryers and TVs in every bedroom. This is the perfect spot from which to launch all of your Highlands adventures!

*So it's not confusing: An old pre-renovation review mentions three bedrooms but the house now has five.

Gorgeous house in the mountain perfect for groups!

We absolutely adored our time at this property. The house is perfectly set up for 3 families, with mini “wings” each having their own bathroom. Plus a gorgeous, large, open living space for hanging out together. The house is very beautifully designed, the instruction book in the kitchen was clear and funny. The wall to town was perfect and quick. We went at least twice a day without a problem! Would return!

Best location in Highlands

Our family gathered in Highlands for a Labor Day weekend getaway, and we loved staying in this house. Located on a quiet street, the house is just about as close to downtown Highlands as you can get. We enjoyed fishing in Harris Lake, walking to breakfast at Mountain Fresh, and playing games in the front yard. This house is clean, has an open layout that is ideal for family gatherings, is beautifully decorated, and has a well-stocked kitchen. I highly recommend it!

Perfect family getaway

My husband and I along with our grown children spent a week at this property in Highlands. The house was a close 5 minute walk to Main Street and near Harris Lake. The lay-out was great as there are separate bedroom areas with adjacent baths that you can close off for privacy along with a very nice master bedroom and private bath. The kitchen was well equipped with nice new appliances. The family and dining areas were perfect for gathering to eat, work and play games. A few restaurants that we enjoyed were Paoletti, Four65 Woodfire Bistro, Madison’s in Old Edwards Inn, The Ugly Dog - perfect after hiking. We wish we had gone to Lakeside, but it was fully booked during our stay. All in all a great first visit to Highlands!

Thanksgiving in Highlands

This home is wonderful! It is so functional. I love the way the bedrooms are spaced out with so much privacy. The open kitchen/living space was enjoyed by all, and there was plenty of room for everyone to sit. The bedrooms are nicely decorated with very comfortable beds. The whole house was very clean. The fireplace added a feeling of coziness. We all enjoyed walking to town for great shopping. We even stopped along the way to visit the ducks! Thank you for a great Thanksgiving… will definitely return!!

Location, location!

We loved our time in Highlands at this wonderful cozy home close to town. I was there with a group of women friends. Plenty of comfortable beds, renovated home with open floor plan and a great fireplace to sit near in the evenings. We walked to Sunset Rock hike and walked to dinner and shopping each day. I loved not moving our car except to drive to Cashiers one day. Great kitchen. The only reason I wouldn’t give it a 5 are the inside and outside chairs/furniture is light, plastic dining room chairs and not that comfortable.

This place is awesome

Here’s the thing…the pictures don’t do it justice. It was immaculately clean and well-appointed. Everything needed was provided for a comfortable and laid back stay. The host was super responsive to messages. We stayed here for a half week and it was perfect for my family, grandparents, and cousins family. We had a blast exploring the area. Will definitely be booking again!

This Might be the Nicest House in Highlands

The title says it all. The layout of the house gives everyone privacy but also keeps you together. The yard/property is ideal for enjoying the time you have at home, but also the fact you can be in downtown Highlands after a beautiful 7 minute walk is beyond amazing. Laird is the ultimate host and makes your stay as simple as it can be from a logistics standpoint. Our next trip to Highlands will be based around this house’s availability!
