What our guests are saying…
"The property is amazing. Super private. The patio and the porch are showstoppers. THE VIEW! Wait until you get to watch the sunrise in the morning. It's worth waking up early! We loved the upgraded kitchen and fireplace. It's first class. Fully stocked kitchen - double oven is a BONUS! The shower in the master bathroom is next level. We used the hot tub a lot more than we thought we would because it's that nice. The photos on the website don't do this place justice -- I cried tears of JOY when we walked inside the door the first time -- I couldn't believe this is where we were going to spend our holidays! And loved the Christmas tree too!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Michelle

Great property, amenities, and location to Highlands. Kids had a ball and the games/toys on the property were a nice touch.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and amazing pictures! We’re so glad to hear the home lived up to the photos and that you enjoyed the beautiful views, cozy fireplace, and that “treehouse” feeling in the woods—especially with the chilly weather. It’s wonderful to know it was a perfect getaway for you and your pup. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Our group had a great stay at The Treehouse! Everything was clean and well kept. It was a beautiful view of the mountains. It was nice and private, but a short ride to town.
We would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the great review McKenzie! We hope you get to come back and stay with us again.
The Treehouse is an appropriate name for this property. The wall of windows in the large family room made it seem as if you were staying in a treehouse. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the home was clean.

Thank you for great review Jeanmarie! Glad you enjoyed The Treehouse and hope you'll come back again!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Treehouse! This is by far one of the best vacation properties we’ve ever experienced. The house has everything you could possibly need and the attention to every detail is impeccable, ensuring the best stay possible. And…the shower!! OMG!! You just have to stay here to know what I’m talking about! So cool! The beds were so comfortable too! Bottom line, the entire property is breathtaking and definitely worth checking out! We will definitely be back to visit The Treehouse again soon!!

Beautiful house with great view.
Beautiful house with great view. We loved sitting next to the fire and watching the snow fall through the floor to ceiling windows. Beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable! Kitchen was updated, well stocked, and perfect for what we needed. Living room was great for reading and chatting with our friends. They really loved having the separate cottage for some added privacy. Hot tub was nice too! Great responses and very helpful service. We had everything we needed.

Thanks for the review Erin! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed this very special home.
This home worked well for us, with two young children whose parents got some peace and quiet in the cottage behind the house, while grandparents stayed with the kids. Large, well-equipped kitchen (except they need bowls with some depth), good linens and towels, comfortable beds. Excellent family room for hanging out together, very child friendly. Lots of huge windows and beautiful setting. Very peaceful. House is close to town. Down sides: TV is very basic and it’s difficult/impossible to stream shows from your own account except on Amazon. Hot tub was not working. No comfortable furniture on deck (only folding chairs).

Hi Susan. Thank you for the review! I've sent your comments to the homeowner. We do apologize again that the hot tub wasn't working during your stay. A part needed to repair it was on backorder. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope you'll consider again the next time you're visiting Highlands.

We loved the upgraded kitchen and fireplace. It's first class. Fully stocked kitchen - double oven is a BONUS! The shower in the master bathroom is next level.

Thank you for the wonderful review Michelle! Hope you'll visit again.
The house is very clean , the decor is great. The family room is very comfortable with a Great Wall of windows with a lovely view of trees and foliage and mountains. The blinds malfunctioned and the blind over the very center window closed and we couldn’t open it. Maintenance came and replaced batteries, fixed it but then another blind was down and wouldn’t open. All to say the blinds need some work. The only other negative was a “resort fee” we were charged for $176 and this house is not in a resort. There was back and forth about who was charging this fee- we paid it but weren’t too happy about it. They also charge a big cleaning fee but expect you to wash and dry towels and run the dishwasher. Not a huge chore but seems like the cleaning fee of over $300 should take care of all of that sort of thing.

Thank you so much for leaving us a review. Unfortunately when you book on this platform, there is a resort fee charged. Now that you're in our system, we hope you'll book directly with us next time :) We will be addressing the blind situation with the owner. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at this lovely home. We do appreciate your help with towels and running the dishwasher so our cleaning staff can get the property turned over for the next guest.
