Wonderful Stay

The house was large and beautiful, the view our to die for! We spent most of our time on the amazing closed in patio. Everything you could possibly need was in the house. Janet the property manager, was great. She had us a beautiful charcuterie board, wine, and flowers for us. She gave a quick tour of the property. We definitely will stay here again.

Our stay was fantastic! You can not ask for a better house in Highlands to stay at!! The view, the house, and Janet who made all things possible! You can not go wrong with this house. We had everything provided for us that we needed and more! The house is huge with several new features! We hired a private chef for our last night and it was phenomenal! We will come again!

The View, The View, The View!

The view at this property is absolutely stunning! Our group has spent several NYE weekends in Highlands, and we’ve never been able to find a vacation rental that had both long range mountain views and a close proximity to town - until now. In addition to the gorgeous view and short drive to town, this house was well stocked, immaculately clean, and perfect for our group. We had so much fun playing ping pong with the kids! Janet met us at the home at check-in and was kind enough to walk us through the property and explain everything. She was so kind and hospitable!

Above and beyond!

The home is outstanding. It was apparent as Janet, the concierge, showed us around that the owners had thought of every need and comfort people might want. It was fun showing family as they arrived the special surprises, treats and areas of the property. Plenty of spaces for a large group to spread out and enjoy different activities. Everyone had a grand time. My husband told me I had outdone myself with choosing this house. True, I was just very lucky to have found Valentine Manor! Hope you choose to find out for yourselves. Oh, did I mentioned the view!!! The view and the house are both above and beyond. Thank you owners and Janet for providing our family with a terrific vacation.

Hands down, one of the best vacation rental experiences and locations ever. Do not hesitate if open!

This property is gorgeous. Home is built into the landscape of the Highland Plateau overlooking Blue Valley in a quiet and beautiful retreat-like development. Lots of privacy. Gorgeous views. Gentle stream sings you to sleep at night. Close to Highlands for meals, groceries, nature center, and town activities. The house itself is gorgeous. Plenty of room for a mid-sized family. Game rooms were well used during rains. Porches/decks well used during sunny times - sunsets and sunrises are perfect. Hostess was completely responsive and wonderful to work with. I high recommend... unless of course it happens to be a time when we would like to rent it again. Then well, I would say look elsewhere!

Happy New Year

The house and views were amazing. We had a great stay at Valentine manor with a couple of minor exceptions. 1). It was very confusing to figure out which light switches went to which lights. 2). We could not get “live” tv channels on the tv in the lower theater room, nor could we get the tv on the enclosed porch to work correctly. It probably would help to have manuals or written instructions for the tvs. 3). The women felt that there could be better knives in the kitchen Other than that everything was great and Janet was wonderful to work with. We have already talked about a possible return.

Next Level Excellence!

We stayed at Valentine Manor for Thanksgiving. My family owns a home in Highlands but there are too many of us to stay in one home. I say this to say that we have stayed in VRBO houses all over Highlands for the last 10 years. Some of them were nice but this is the only home I have ever reviewed. This home was next level excellence. We have never stayed at any house where every item you could possibly want was provided. The home is outfitted in such a way that you feel like it is your home not a cold sterile rental. There were spices in the spice cabinets and toilet paper and paper towels and garbage bags and dishes and plates and beautiful linens and towels. The home was spotless, nothing was shabby or broken down there were even small travel toiletries in case we forgot ours. My niece scraped her hand playing and there were band aids and ointments in the first aid kit. We were met by a concierge assistant who instantly made us feel welcome and showed us every feature and amenity in the home and she had turned on the gas fireplaces so when we came in on that cold rainy windy day it was cozy and felt like home. Honestly, if the four star hotel in town treated their guests this way there would never be any vacancies all year round. To the owner: what a fantastic job! We were already looking at dates in the new year.

FANTASTIC property

Couldn't have been better. The communication was better than any other property I have rented. The welcome gifts were unexpected and tremendous. The house was as expected - except the newly enclosed porch (that was previously just covered). What a phenomenal space. We spent 90% of our time in this space. Just wish we could have experienced the view but the weather didnt cooperate. We did get a little of the view on the afternoon we arrive and the morning we departed. The rest of the time it was raining and couldnt see past property.

Best VRBO Ever

I have used VRBO many times and have always been satisfied. However, this house and the service was extraordinary. The manager (Janet Sanchez) was very responsive to any questions and set the house up beautifully for our stay. We arrived to a cake, roses, a bottle of wine and a cheese platter to welcome us. The house was very well furnished with everything including pots, pans, dishes, glassware, towels, etc. I highly recommend this property.

Just finished up our 2nd stay at Valentine Manor and had just as lovely a stay. The updated outdoor space is wonderful, and Janet was perfect in her communications (just enough but never intruding). We are already talking about when we come back next year. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!
