Waterfalls & Trails
Our stay was wonderful. The home is peaceful and beautifully maintained. The fireplace quickly became my favorite feature—it added such warmth and charm. With four of us, the space felt open and comfortable; we never felt crowded. The neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe throughout our visit. It’s a truly beautiful home, and the time we shared as a family was absolutely priceless. #MemoriesCreated

Perfect all around
This is a beautiful house and very comfortable. The location is close enough to Highlands that you do not need to plan trips into town-just go as you like. Far enough from Highlands that it is as quiet as anyone can want. Recommended all around.

Second stay as great as the first
This was our second stay here, and we love it. It was a difficult time as we were arriving the week after Hurricane Helene. The host was very helpful in addressing any concerns we had about visiting, including updates on road statuses coming into Highlands. The house is perfect for families, and a very easy location to downtown. We will continue to stay here any time the house is available for future trips.

Perfect Getaway
The house is about 5 minutes from the Highlands main street which is great. We had four adults who stayed, and the house was very comfortable. The owners provided wood so we had a nice fire in the fireplace.

Great Highlands Rental
We came with our family and wow what a great property. Close to downtown, Highland Smokehouse and lots of the fun things to do in Highlands! The house was clean and cozy. We loved drinking coffee on the massive porch and listening to the birds. Our children loved the comfy bunk bed room (set up was great for our three kids) and roasting s'mores at the firepit! Great family friendly vacation rental.
