We had a wonderful book club weekend for 6 women. The home was large with plenty of room for our group. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood close to town. The home had everything we needed and we enjoyed the fireplace at night after a day filled with hiking. The kitchen is very well stocked and coffee/tea provided. There is a nice deck fire pit which we didn’t find time to use. The beds are super comfortable and the linens are high end. Nancy was very responsive to questions and needs and gave us some good dining suggestions. We will definitely return in the future!

This was a beautifully appointed home. The host has thought of all things that would make you comfortable. This home was very spacious, lots of areas to have conversations or to read, which we loved. It was extremely clean (and we did our best to keep it that way, following the host’s request to remove our shoes upon entry). We chose this home mainly because of the location. It is very close to downtown Highlands. Our host was extremely responsive to any questions that we had. As with any mountain home, there will be stairs, but if you have someone in your group who is not comfortable with the stairs, they can stay on the first floor. This is a great place for gatherings of friends or family. The fireplace makes the main room very cozy. I only wish that we could’ve stayed here longer.

This beautiful home is updated and beautifully decorated. The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. The open plan for the common areas is conducive for large groups to celebrate holidays, share stories, or watch football together while snacking. The deck is large and the area quiet. It is close enough to town to enjoy the shops and restaurants yet far enough away to feel like you are away in the mountains. The owner is great to work with, attentive to details, and goes out of the way to be accomodating. We loved this home for our friends getaway.

Beautiful property and so well appointed!! The artwork is so engaging and a tour of the property and all the little things to see inside just start the trip off on a good note. And then there is that expansive wraparound deck!! The town is great with good restaurants, if you don’t want to use the brand new kitchen. The scenery in the area could not be better. Lots to do and see. Definitely will be on our agenda in the future.

Booked the Alpine Fox for a last minute trip to Highlands, NC. It has been a few years since I visited this town and staying close to the "action" was definitely important to me. The host made my stay a breeze with an easy check in / check out process. The home is everything you see in pictures but better! High end furniture and appliances, well stocked kitchen and bathroom are awaiting your stay. The home is in walking distance to the town center for shopping, dining or just taking a stroll. The location also makes for beautiful views from the back deck which I enjoyed over coffee in the morning. We loved this home so much we are already looking to book another stay!

Nancy reached out long before our stay to welcome us to her home and ask me if we needed any assistance. Once we arrived at her lovely home it was obvious it was exquisitely renovated. The layout is perfect for a large family. The furnishings are elegant, yet fun! The kitchen is spectacular. Go. Enjoy. Fair warning: you might not want to leave the home. But town is a short walk away so you might as well venture out. 11 minutes to your closest waterfall. Eight people: all would give it a 10 out of 10.

So thankful Nancy’s place was available for our much needed break. It was perfection for our group of friends. While it’s right in town it’s still secluded and has all the amenities one needs. Nancy is the perfect host. Can’t wait to visit again!

Our stay at this rental home was absolutely delightful! The hosts were incredibly easy to work with and provided us with helpful tips about the town. They were always available to answer any questions we had, which made our trip stress-free. The open living room was a highlight of the home - it was spacious and beautifully decorated, with an awesome fireplace that made us feel right at home. We loved waking up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning. The location of the home was perfect, as it was close to everything we wanted to do. We were able to easily go on a hike and grab lunch on Main Street, as well as visit the Satulah Mountain Brewery. The convenience of the location made our trip even more enjoyable. Overall, we had an amazing time at this vacation rental home in Highlands. The hosts were fantastic, the living room was amazing, and the location couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.

The hosts made our stay as easy and accommodating as possible, making us feel so VERY welcome :-). Most things we needed, even things we forgot, were at our fingertips in these luxurious surroundings. My significant other and I enjoy the area, and are looking forward to a return trip this fall, so guess where we are planning to stay (right here)!
