Everything was Perfect!

I want to start by saying that the concierge of the house, Janet, was incredible! She made our stay so incredibly comfortable and was very helpful. You are in very good hands with Janet! I also thought the location was perfect, a short walk outside of town. The house is located in a very peaceful and quiet area. The house itself is incredibly spacious and has plenty of places to hangout as a group. I stayed here with friends, family, and my wife and there was plenty of room. I would highly recommend this house to anyone that is looking for a nice getaway or wedding retreat. 10/10 service, I will be back for sure! I couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Beautiful mountain home

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The property manager, Janet was the best, communicating with us prior to our stay and throughout to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Plenty of space and great for our multi-generational family vacation. We enjoyed walking to Main Street Highlands and all that the town had to offer. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed staying in this recently remodeled home. It is in a great location within comfortable walking distance both to town and to the Highlands Nature Center. We appreciated Janet reaching out to us before and during our stay and leaving us beautiful roses and a delicious cake to welcome us upon our arrival. Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing mountain getaway!

We had such a wonderful time at this property in Highlands! We were so impressed by how comfortable we all were. There is plenty of space for kids to have fun downstairs while adults can enjoy a relaxing time on the covered porch! We cooked several meals and were very impressed with how well equipped the kitchen was. This truly felt like a home away from home! You won’t regret spending time here!

Mountain Retreat

Our family had a lovely stay in the beautiful mountains of NC. Host was very nice, leaving us a cake and beautiful flowers. Beds were clean and comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Young ones loved the bunk beds and air hockey. For all the rooms and beds it had, it was still a bit snug; going in the front door it was necessary to step around the door to get up the steps. Beautiful porches front and back.

Wonderful weekend!

We were a group of friends visiting the area for a wedding. We had a wonderful time and this rental was the perfect place for us to stay. It's private but also VERY close to downtown by foot or by car which made getting to activities very easy. Communication with the rental manager was immediate and easy! Janet checked in with us to make sure we always had what we needed and accommodated us to make our stay even better. Everything was new and clean and very comfortable. I'd absolutely stay here again if I came back to the area! Highly recommend it.

Highlands trip

Property is very nice and perfect for 4 retired ladies to relax, play cards, and enjoy the town of Highlands. it is a long walk to the town. We chose to drive in. The only somewhat negative comment is that only the primary bedroom had bedside lamps. And, the living area could use a corner lamp by the fireplace. We wish it had a view, but would cetainly rent the beautiful houses again.

Week stay

So easy, about 12 min walk to Main Street. Back porch surrounded by nature and relaxing. Use the blower in garage to blow it off and get rid of spider webs. Can also hose off front porch for relaxing outdoor meals. Remodeled bathrooms are a plus. Hall bath for 2 upstairs bedrooms is not ideal for sharing as the barn door closure is not airtight from sounds and smells 🤔 closets are small, pack light!

You can go home again

I lived in the house as a child and was so excited to see it on VRBO for rent. Absolutely beautifully updated and has been very well maintained both inside and out. It is walking distance to town. The kids loved the foosball table and the fire pit. There are cute steps and pathways in the backyard to see all the vegetation and the birds. The back porch is adorable and has nice lights around it for night time on the porch. The front porch is a great place to sit and greet people as they come walking back from town. This house has the perfect mix of quiet, private places for some relaxation and down time and entertainment, both inside and out, to be busy and moving. We would love to stay again.
