This is our second year in Highlands and first time at this house. It was the perfect set up for two or three couples. Comfy large beds, great linens, fully equipped kitchen and a wonderful porch with fireplace where we made s’mores! We highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

We loved this property. Perfect amount of room for 6 adults and 1 baby. It was the perfect location- you had beautiful mountain views and were also less than 5 min drive from the Highlands Main Street. You could also walk if you don’t mind very hilly terrain! The house itself is beautiful. We will be back!

This house is amazing and has an incredible view! The owner was so nice and generous. He included firewood and put up a baby bed for our grandchild. The covered porch with a fireplace and view was my favorite spot. Very easy to walk to Main Street for lunch and shopping. We hope to be able to stay here again next summer!!

Beautiful Home!

We loved our stay here! The house is wonderful, and the communication with the owner was very easy. Designed built and decorated by a renowned designer, the house offered a great setting for a peaceful and inspiring getaway. We had a wonderful set up with two houses, and this house was particularly well suited for adults. The other house was perfect for children. So it all worked out great. This house couldn’t have been nicer! We had such a great time! Many thanks to the owner for sharing!
