Very clean. The host was great with any questions or requests that we had. The host is very accommodating with pets. We had our 3 year old lab with us. Plenty of parking for 4 cars if you need it. The fire pit is so fun and they provide plenty of firewood. We sat by the firepit every night and did s'mores.

We visited Highlands to attend a wedding. The property was just as described. We had a large group and it was nice to have plenty of places to sit in multiple areas of the house. The fence was also nice for our pup.
