This house was amazing! Clean, close to town and exactly as described. I appreciated that the house had clean bath soap, shampoo and conditioner in all bathrooms as well as toilet paper and paper towels. They also provided wood for the fire pit. The owner was wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone!!!

The house and grounds were in excellent condition. Yard crew showed up and cleaned off walkways while we were there. Kitchen was fully stocked and had all the utensils you would need. . Rooms and beds were comfort able. The back porch was a good spot to hang out and just chill.

Fabulous House in Highlands

This house was amazing! Six of us stayed there, and there was plenty of room. Everything was so nice. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the location was perfect! Since it is the week before Christmas, we thought about bringing a small tree to make the stay more festive. We were thrilled to see the huge tree they had decorated and lit up for us when we checked in. I highly recommend this property!

Christmas in the Highlands

Sky Light was as advertised and more...was more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Every one in our party (ages 18-83) had a wonderful time and thought the house and location was great. Was the perfect size for our party of 9. Knew it was going to be special when we arrived and there was a Christmas tree to put our presents under!

Can I have this house….?!

This home is amazing. Spacious, beautiful, clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully decorated… we did not want to leave! Kadie was responsive and accessible the entire trip. A few friends have already started planning to book the house again because of how well enjoyed it was. Thanks so much!

Great house!

Loved our stay! The house is spacious and comfortable…we loved the screen porch and the rocking chair front porch with a view of the mountains! The beds are comfortable and the decor is tasteful! The location was great, but the walk to town is more of a hike…the 500 yard walk to the trail is straight uphill and the trail is not easy to navigate for older people or young children! Other than that, the description of the house is perfectly accurate!

The reality is better than pictures!

Our family very much enjoyed our time at Sky Light! The reality was better than the pictures which is almost never the case. We were 8 people: my husband, my mother, 5 kids and myself. Our children loved the double bunk bed room. The loft upstairs was helpful for our big kids to read and play while the littles napped downstairs. We were absolutely enchanted with the fire pit / creek area. The sunrises and sunsets on the front porch overlooking the mountains each day were amazing. Having the Kelsey Trail so close by was convenient and its proximity to downtown Highlands and Cashiers was great. We highly recommend Sky Light to your family and friends.

60th Birthday for Lori

Great location and plenty of room. Fully stocked home with everything you would need for a gathering of 8 or more. We had a great time and the family room was large and a wonderful spot to gather for games and dinner. The back porch was also fun and we had a low country boil dinner out there enjoying the wonderful weather and view. Will come again!

Amazing home!

Quit searching VRBO - you won't find a better home in the Highlands area! Everything was absolutely perfect. The view, the furnishings, the screened porch, the yard and fire pit are beautiful. It was the perfect spot for extended family to stay for a long weekend to attend a family wedding. The rooms are spacious and the location is great. We loved the quick trail from the street the house is on down to Main Street. Everyone that stopped by raved about the home and we are already making plans to return!
