Cozy, comfortable, well-stocked home in a convenient location. Concierge, Janet, answered our text questions immediately. All our expectations were exceeded. We LOVED our stay.

We loved everything about this property. It is perfectly located less than a mile from Downtown and close to all the hiking trails. Every detail has been thought out in this lovely home. Plenty of linens, blankets and plates/cutlery if you need it. The small touches made this home perfect. There is a gas fireplace that is controlled by a single button so it made it very convenient on the cold evenings that we stayed in. All rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The sunroom is a beautiful spot to watch nature and enjoy the morning and afternoon sun beams. Our hostess was so thoughtful and left us some personal touches that made the arrival even more welcoming. If you are in to pickle ball there are some great courts that are walking distance from the property. If it is warmer on your stay, the front porch and covered deck would make amazing hangout spots.One note: Although the house is located conveniently to downtown Highlands, there are not sidewalks all the way to downtown so you will need to take a car. Parking is ample so no issue though. The cuisine is exquisite, especially at Four65 and Madison's.All the ladies in my group would 100% book this home again.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was so cozy and welcoming. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us, comfortable beds, updated bathrooms and lovely decorations! The screened porch off the back is the perfect place to read, play a board game or have a glass of wine. The location is incredible, just a mile from town but really quiet and private neighborhood. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We are frequent visitors of Highlands and I cannot say enough good things about this house. It is a great location, pictures on listing are representative of the property, and all of the small touches make the house one of our all-time favorites. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. Even prior to arrival, Janet made sure we had everything we needed. We will most definitely be back!

Initial ease of finding the house was the beginning of a positive experience. House was comfortable, updated/new in appearance and cleanliness. Minutes from the main area of The Highlands - restaurants, shops and other stores.
Friendly and frequent communication with the Host.
We would stay again if back in The Highlands.

Great option close to downtown!
My family and I loved this place. Clean, roomy, modern and very close to downtown Higlands.
5.0
This house is wonderful. Location is great - super close to downtown Highlands but very quiet and serene. You can't walk to downtown because of the mountain roads but that is the case pretty much anywhere in this area, but it's only a 2 minute drive to downtown and the closest grocery store. The house has everything you need and feels cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and there were all the condiments and spices that some other rentals lack. Coffee maker is a Keurig and the pods were provided, but there was also a regular brew option for those that want to make their own pot with other coffee. The patio was a wonderful spot to watch the birds and enjoy the morning coffee or evening wine and conversation.
We had great communication with the owners representative and the whole process was very smooth. The owner appears to have a small dog and there were some evidence of dog hair which didn't bother us at all since we are dog-people but I mention it just in case someone has a severe allergy.
