Everything about the house and property is gorgeous. The house is full of European antiques, it’s so incredible. There is a view of the water out every window and the grounds are magical. You will feel like you’re at a summer house in Europe. The location is great, you are minutes from downtown Highlands. We will be back!

A fabulous combination of a beautiful, well-equipped home, gorgeous setting, close proximity to downtown Highlands, and gracious hosts in Jani and Red. The kayaks were a bonus enjoyed by all!

House was very well appointed. Plenty of towels great views. So close to town and many restaurants. Red the manager was very accessible and helpful. Bonus that you can you garage.

This property is absolutely gorgeous in every way! I feel Very Blessed to finally be able to stay there for five days. We were celebrating a huge birthday and l enjoyed it more than words can express. Jani is so wonderful to work with and goes the extra mile to accommodate you and make sure your stay is everything you expect. Her property manager, Red, is just as nice and so happy to show you around upon your arrival. This VRBO delivers everything you see in the photos and certainly doesn’t disappoint. I am already looking forward to my next stay here. Thank you Jani for sharing the most beautiful home l have stayed in in Highlands.

House and view are stunning. Lake Sequoyah is beautiful and peaceful. Close to Highlands and Cashiers - great food and shopping. Host and manager were fantastic to work with. We would love to go back!! Family all had a great time!

The house and landscaping were beautiful.

My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves at this property. The location was convenient to all the amenities of the Highlands. The time we spent together here created “new” family memories that will forever be in our minds. The entire property, inside and out was enjoyed by all. Everything was top shelf & our stay was quite delightful.... & “oh the shower”! The meandering path to the dock was scented with the smell of rhododendrons & the canoe and kayaks were a lot of fun. Jani & Red were very accommodating and our experience was quite “Epic”!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at La Chatelaine. The pictures online are beautiful, but you can't fully appreciate this property until staying there. We have been in the rental business ourselves for over 15 years, so I am extremely detail-oriented, and I must say, Jani has thought of absolutely everything. The home is so well supplied, and the kitchen is a chef's dream - so very high-end but functional - we enjoyed cooking a few meals in verses going out every night. Everything was spotless, and top quality from the fully stocked kitchen, to the beds and linens. The home itself is a work of art, truly stunning, and no detail has been missed architecturally. Every piece of furniture looks like it was made for this house specifically, and you will not run out of beautiful artwork, amazing photos, and great reads to admire and enjoy during your stay. The location is perfect, only a mile and a half from downtown. Such gorgeous views of the lake, I loved having my coffee and taking in that view!! Red (property manager) was as sweet and accommodating as could be - even helping with local suggestions on hiking trails, etc. Jani was the same - both made this such an enjoyable vacation. We have been to Highlands several times now, and this was our best trip yet. Perfect weather and perfect accommodations. We plan to be regular returning guests, if we can squeeze into Jani's packed reservation schedule! Thank You Jani and Red. You've done a beautiful job with this property - I hope everyone treats it with loving care and respect, and fully appreciates it's beauty.

This was the perfect house for us this weekend. This house had everything: a well appointed kitchen, multiple seating areas, comfortable beds, an amazing view, sweet walking paths, a dock for fishing, and a pool table. This hidden gem was perfect for escaping the hustle of the city and reconnecting with family and nature.

Everything was communicated professionally. John was personable and helpful. The location and vistas are incredible. This house is clearly a passion of the owner and all of us appreciated the variety of antiques and artwork. We will return.

We had such a wonderful time staying at this lovely home! The views of the lake and surrounding trees was beautiful. We played cards, watched football, and ate great food. The house, especially the kitchen, was well stocked and had everything we needed. We will be staying here again!

This home is magnificent in every way: Location is near town, setting is serene and beautiful, home is set up so wonderfully, furniture and decor is perfect for a french chateau while being totally comfortable, everything you need is there - but the charm and character and soul of this home permeates the space. Just beautifully relaxing and first class in every way. Truly a retreat full of peace and love

Wonderful property! Jani and Red were both very courteous and communicated in a timely fashion. The house has great views of the lake, tons of space, and is beautifully decorated. We really enjoyed the pool table and the kayaks on the lake. Short drive into town and all that Highlands has to offer. Definitely recommend and plan to stay here again.

This amazing home is in a perfect location, is very tastefully decorated, and has many quaint, comfortable places to relax and enjoy the view and peacefulness of the mountains. Kayaking around the lake and hiking nearby was a highlight. Jani and Red were very helpful and gracious hosts. We’ll be back.

Everything about our stay was great. The house is elegant, well equipped and very comfortable. Gardens and lakefront so lovely to wake up to each morning and the kitchen great for cooking. Communication with property manager and owner was always immediate and extremely helpful. Enjoyed every minute!!!

If you are booking in Highlands, look no further than this property. It was incredibly convenient and close to everything that we were doing (restaurants, hikes, waterfalls, kayaking on property, shopping). We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful property. Outside was like being at a secluded resort. We had an amazing stay. Will definitely be back!

This lovely home sits on a peninsula, surrounded by water. The interior reflects a rustic regal feel that is relaxing. We enjoyed ourselves and will return.

My family of four enjoyed this beautiful home and couldn’t have asked for anything more! Clean, well equipped, amazing location, very helpful and responsive hosts… I could go on and on. The pictures do not do this property justice by any means. Red, the property manager was so very kind and even made a special trip to the house to deliver Neosporin and bandaids when my daughter scraped her leg while exploring the amazing grounds. There’s multiple spots on the balcony, by the grotto, and by the water to enjoy your morning coffee or sunset glass of wine. Again, couldn’t ask for anything more and will definitely be back!

As others have said, the pictures do not do this property justice. It is absolutely beautiful and the view of the lake is lovely. Landscaping is extensive and beautifully done. Kayaks are in great condition, life vests look new. Beds are comfortable and the whole place is kept up and very clean. The artwork and objects are amazing, so much to enjoy! It is only minutes to downtown Highlands. Jani is very quick to respond and Red is great, very helpful and gave us the tour of the place. Bring a connector if you want to play your music through the system, we couldn't find bluetooth, but the tv has so many channels you will not be disappointed. Better to leave it off and go enjoy the lake and hiking in the area though! The kitchen is fabulous, very very well equipped. We loved the grotto, very cool! We were all thrilled with the house and property and will be back. You are making the right choice to stay here.

What a lovely house, great manager and communications, immaculately clean, well furnished. LOVE Highlands, NC, looking forward to our next stay at this home. Thanks!

The BEST experience we have ever had. We will be back soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed the lake access, kayaking and beautiful views of the mountains.
