This home is absolutely stunning. We rented Floralia for our daughter's wedding in Highlands and our family of 7 plus a nanny were so incredibly comfortable. The home has it all- comfortable and private bedrooms each with its own bath, fully outfitted kitchen with top of the line everything. We walked to town several times and it's a 10 minute walk down a beautiful trail . Holly the house manager was so easy to contact and super responsive. Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend this home to anyone, we cannot wait to stay there again.

This was by far the BEST VRBO property I’ve ever stayed in. The house was clean, well stocked, and the photos did not do the listing justice. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, ample parking space. Outdoor spaces were BEAUTIFUL, we wish we got to use them more!

We loved our stay at Floralia! It is an amazing location to town, hikes, and the botanical center. The house was amazing for a large group! We loved the back porch with the fireplace- so cozy. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with everything you could possibly need. We also loved the property surrounding the house so much- the bridges, pond, and treehouse were a hit for the kids. We hope to be back!

The beautiful Floralia estate provided the perfect home base for three generations of family to gather in the NC mountains that we all love. The vast grounds were beautiful, the home was impeccably decorated, and the location across from Sunset Rock was second to none. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!

Three generations of our family gathered for a reunion but also a revisiting of Highlands- where until recently we had had a vacation home for 40 years. So we know the area very well and had high expectations- which were met by this lovely home, in a beautiful setting, that was a short walk to everything making the comings and goings of our group easy. The home was comfortable and well thought out - especially since we cooked in most nights, being a group of 12. We will definitely go back again!

We LOVED our stay here. The house was very cozy and clean. The kids had the best time playing in the backyard and treehouse. We really enjoyed the mornings and evenings on the patio. So many wonderful memories were created and we hope to come back.

This house has everything and more! We stayed here with a total of 4 adults and 5 kids, ages 1-7. It was perfect in every way! Beautiful, clean, great location, and the surrounding property is just magical! I’m a big cook and it had everything I needed to prepare our meals. Can’t wait to come back!

A few things to be noted that I would have liked to know before booking this house. Cons: - house is located right off of a main road, this was not a huge deal but is worth noting. Also there aren’t any sidewalks so walking into Highlands wasn’t an option - house has a rodent problem - we returned home from a day of adventure to a rodent squirming on a trap we didn’t know existed and when I texted the manager the response was ‘thank you for letting us know, I’ll inform the owner’ I continued to ask if this was an ongoing problem and they acknowledged that it has been a problem in the past and did not suggest any type of remedy - check out time is listed as 10:00 am and the cleaning crew showed up at 9:00 and didn’t even wait for us to get out of the house before barging in and trying to clean around us -house has a musty feeling Pros: - The yard is beautiful and our children loved exploring the tree house and pond - the areas of the house that have been updated have nice furnishings I would not stay in this house again.
