A refreshing stay in an architectural delight.

Property was as stated in description. Because of the openness, it was difficult for the heat to really be effective on the single night we were there. Now, our stay was to be for 3 nights, but on our second day, I noticed a couple of yellow jackets. Not a big deal. However, over the course of the next two hours, the 2 bees multiplied to 35 (yes, I counted). Due to the openness of the house, they were flying from the master bedroom to the living room and back. We went to the real estate management firm, and they were fantastic in understanding our concern (the phone video helped) and got us into another location.

Architectural gem. The home is well stocked with everything possible. We (ages 78 - 9 years old) all thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home

Enjoyed the ButterflyHouse, just walking thru the multiple levels was a great. It was also well equipped with everything to make you feel at home. Wonderful fee’s we’re from every place in the house.

This property is truly beautiful. The architecture is remarkable, and the view is just grand. The bedrooms are nice and the kitchen is well stocked. One change in comparison to the VRBO listing for this property is that the next door neighbors have installed a dam which blocks flow down the waterfall, apparently at their discretion. This is an extremely small point but might be clarified in the listing for the property. Am very happy we stayed there.

The positive: incredible view, functional home with plenty of space for a 3 bedroom. Decent price point for busy season, architectural marvel. The negative: needs some remodeling - deck is not in great shape, especially for being 50+ feet up. The outside was covered in spiders, the windows were dirty (and house is almost all glass), there were 4 dead birds, some in last stages of rotting so must have been there for quite some time, wood floors peeling from UV damage (why don’t the windows have UV or tint?), and the doors are difficult to lock (we have hurricane doors and understand how to operate, but these are in bad shape). One door didn’t lock at all, so we wedged chairs. No cell service, but once we turned on the router we were in decent shape, and in case of emergency you can use the landline. No instructions on how to use the alarm system, and there’s no gate so we felt exposed a bit. Construction next door but didn’t bother us (was loud for a while Saturday afternoon until about 5:30 no work on Sunday, started 8 am Monday - they’re building some kind of dam or waterworks, not sure). The property management was 30-45 minutes late because they couldn’t find the keys. I think this was a delay tactic to have more time to clean the house. The loft master affords great views but the bed is stiff; the sheets and pillows are uncomfortable/cheap quality, there is no master tub, and noises from the kitchen are right below. Lights in the house are tricky to figure out (some are labeled). The dishes and glasses and mugs weren’t super clean, so we had to hand wash everything before use. Overall I would recommend the stay for the view, but I think the house needs a renovation in some areas and we will look elsewhere for our next stay in Highlands.

The Butterfly House was great! It's unique "Frank Lloyd Wright" type of design was a fun change. The views were spectacular. The house is very comfortable and well stocked. The only thing to be aware of is the spotty cell phone service given its mountain side location and somewhat slow internet. Might be a challenge for someone looking to work remotely that needs robust internet connectivity. But, we abosultely loved our stay.

Beautiful architecture , everything you need , peaceful , spacious and location was perfect. The waterfall in the back was the icing on the cake !
