Great home. Great location. Everything was perfect. TV was hard to work in the living room but that’s the only complaint. Otherwise 100% recommend.

Enjoyed the spaciousness of the house and the porch. Lots of different sitting areas for family to spread out when needed. Very nice kitchen and refrigerator. Close proximity to Highlands which was nice to come and go when we wanted. Alicien was very nice to work with

Loved the house and the location.

Loved the house and the location. Who wouldn’t like a fireplace in the kitchen while making a meal on a cold day? Things we feel need to be addressed are: Bathrooms need more towel bars and/or hooks. Lighting is pretty dim throughout the house and probably could use 100 watt lightbulbs and not the LED ones that make it feel like you’re in a cafeteria! Biggest issue for us all were the mattresses. Awful. They all need to be replaced. Some Sag in the middle and some too lumpy. I made the agent aware of a leg missing off the club chair in the kitchen but improvised with books. Other than these few suggestions, it was perfect. Efficient and speedy when it came to returning emails
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept, 2022
Thanks for the review and suggestions. We've replaced all of the mattresses and taken care of the other items you mentioned.

Great place

Beautiful home!! We enjoyed our stay. The house is decorated beautifully, and everything was clean upon arrival. We loved the fireplaces and cozy nooks throughout the house. A chair was broken in the kitchen, but I’m sure they will have that fixed. Make sure to give yourself enough time to wash towels. We had guest wanting to shower before their travel home but the wash took longer than anticipated.

Beautiful location in the mountains

Three couples enjoyed this home that was beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was convenient to the town of Highlands while being in a wonderfully private setting. Very spacious home with comfortable living areas.

Well designed and appointed home in Wooded Mountain

This home is well thought out in its design. A lot of love has been put into it. The advertisement of this home underestimates it...it is beautiful and spacious. Wood floors are amazing, high ceilings and decor match. Fine furniture--not your typical rental. Layout is well designed. Top ratings for this home!
