This is a lovely, comfortable property. Excellent location. Kitchen has nice dishes, utensils, etc. the ice maker did not work & the freezer door did not open all the way, the driveway was a bit tricky but those are minor complaints. I would rent this home again

Smell

The house has a great layout for a group of 5 or a family, and is in a perfect location. It was clean and had everything we needed. We booked this home for the big outdoor space, as we intended to start and end our days enjoying the mountain air. Unfortunately, there was some sort of leak that resulted in a TERRIBLE smell. It smelled so bad we could not spend any time outside, or open the windows and doors.This had a major impact on our stay, and we are hoping the owners will make this right…

We were surprised at the number of stairs in this property. 20 steps to reach front door, 14 steps to second floor, 14 more to 3rd floor We are older and it wasn’t well indicated in the description of the property. There is no master bath . The bath on the second floor is for two bedrooms. The ice maker never worked. We reported this but ended up buying ice to keep in the freezer. Overall, the interior was sparse. Information on how the TV , and AC worked would have been helpful, The location of the house is good.

Treehouse Getaway

Loved staying in this house. My kids especially loved the top floor. Because of how tall it is and the porches, it felt a bit like a tree house. Private, cozy, perfect location.

Cute house in a great neighborhood that is very close to town. Lots of stairs. Wish there would have been more flexibility with the check in time (3PM) and check out time (10AM).

Stay in the Highlands

Overall our experience was good. Highlands, NC is beautiful. Great hiking and waterfalls. Main town shops and restaurants are very nice but expensive. Be aware of times, many restaurants close by 9pm. Our stay was good, house could use some refreshing and updates.

Great location

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The home was huge and we loved that we were able to walk into town (but note that both the driveway & the street the house is on are quite steep!) and the porch is so lovely. The house wasn’t super clean & we had some issues communicating with the host/company with a particular issue, but overall we had a nice stay & would probably stay here again!

SO FUN!

This house is bigger than the pictures looked. The living space isn’t huge, but has plenty of beds and a great porch! Sadly, the porch furniture was all blown around from the storm before we got there, but other than that - we had a blast!

Great House

The house was clean and roomy. There were plenty of towels and comfortable beds. The location was very close to downtown. We are repeat customers in renting this house. We plan to try and get it next year also. 10 out of 10.

When we arrived, we were surprised to find out our place was being remodeled and was unavailable. After traveling for 4 hours and family 8 hours, we had to find an alternate place last minute in an overbooked location. This created slot of stress and now I am apprehensive on using BRBO in the future.

The Tower

This rental had comfortable furniture, plenty of quality towels, dishes, cutlery & within walking distance to town. Internet service was good. However, it needs a deep cleaning & attention to some maintenance issues - for instance, none of the windows opened. It would have been helpful to have had some type of home book to guide us on the particulars of this house.

Mountain summer getaway

We just arrived home from a nice mountain getaway with our family. This home was nice and spacious and very close to downtown Highlands. I emailed with the property manager about several things that were wrong with the house during our stay and still have not received any communication. Overall the house was great and convenient, but would love to have better service when things are wrong.

"Tree House" on top of the Mountain

Quite an enjoyable stay at this somewhat oddly designed house on top of a hill overlooking the Highlands. The driveway is well hidden (and steep) so make sure to watch closely for the house number on a large tree. But once up the driveway, it expands into an area for 4 cars. Kitchen/Bathrooms are all modern and nice. Wrap around decks give it its Treehouse name, and on the top floor you can see over the trees and the surrounding area. Location is perfect- less than 0.5 mile from downtown, and there was always plenty of parking even on a late June weekend. Bruce (contact host) was awesome and great communication.

Week long stay with our dogs

Property as described. Very clean. Comfortable. Enjoyed the decks and views, just wish we didnt have so much rain to enjoy it even more! (The covered patio doesnt protect from rain well). Close proximity to town, "easy" walk in regards to distance (which is why we chose this place) however very steep walk home. Disclaimer: we're from florida so any incline seems steep, haha, but the road and driveway were def very steep! Made for a good workout. Most enjoyed bringing our two dogs for very minimal fee, which we appreciate! Loved our stay, enjoying the house, charming town, and nearby naturesque trails!

Highlands cabin

My wife and I were in town for the Highlands Motoring Festival. The home is close enough town that we could walk to the Motoring Festival and not have to fight for a parking space downtown. The house was well equipped and the location convenient. Our only negative was constant noise from a house under construction directly behind the home. Nothing the owner can do about it, but if you are wanting a quiet stay you may be disappointed. They were even working early on Sunday morning. Roads in the subdivision are extremely narrow and we had to pull off the road regularly to allow vehicles going the opposite direction to pass.
