We had such a great stay here. The house is gorgeous, and the grounds are just as beautiful. Everything felt even better than expected. Janet was very communicative and made everything easy, which we really appreciated.The house itself felt comfortable right away—like a place you could actually settle into, not just pass through. We especially loved the kitchen and cooking space. It’s also conveniently located, so getting into town was simple.We’d absolutely stay here again.

Great house for our family to spend Columbus Day in the Highlands area. Slept 8 adults and 4 kids easily. Close to highlands. Nice firepit and outdoor seating to spend time outside. The host was super communicative and made us feel very welcome with a gift upon arrival! Great stay!

Janet, the host was great. Very informative and helpful. The house is really cool and unique. Everyone thought the grounds outside were top notch. The house has so much history. The beds are super comfortable, and the kitchen and dining room are perfect for 8-10 people. 4-5 minutes form town make it a desirable location for sure.

Everything was great. Loved the big kitchen and living room. Plenty of space for gathering. Easy access to town. Could have used 1 more bathroom, but we worked it out. Thx for s'mores basket. We weren't able to get outside but kids enjoyed the crackers/marshmallows/and chocolate just the same. Thanks for the cheese and crackers and wine too. We brought salami, and ham and cheese as well so 1sr night we we made a charcuterie board. That was our dinner. Janet informative, accommodating and very pleasant. Thx for everything. We love the Highlands.

We truly enjoyed this quaint home. Was convenient to town and many hikes. Large living/dining spaces and outdoor porches. Only issue was with the water temperature in showers. You can only run one shower at a time or else you get cold water. Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful private setting among 100 year old trees. Janet, our terrific concierge was very responsive and made sure everything was going well. Perfect home for family reunion. 10 of us were able to spend quality time together around the very comfortable and expansive dining room table while others prepared meals in the adjacent extremely well equipped kitchen, and also have our own space to retreat. Special place and only took about 5 minutes to get to the center of Highlands for shopping and restaurants.
