We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The home doesn’t feel like a VRBO, but rather a gorgeous “home”. There are SO many beautiful pieces of artwork! The home has a great layout and we really enjoyed the library where you're bound to find a great book to read given the extensive collection. Communication with the owner was fabulous, which is always very welcomed. Thank you for everything!

Very clean and neat house! Lots of sleeping options and rooms. Kitchen so well equipped with lots of pans, dishes, utensils, wine glasses, mugs, etc. Everything neat as a pin and artwork on the walls done by the owner which makes it special and colorful. Beautiful furniture and very nice deck with great view. All in all it is one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Amazing home!

If we could give this rental more than 5 stars we would! The house was inviting, well-stocked, lovely and very comfortable. The location was great and the porch provided us with a lovely view! There were a lot of little extras such as books games, etc. Communication with owner was outstanding! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Awesome place!

This is a great house. It is much larger than the pictures appear. Well stocked. Super close to downtown. Garbage disposal is great. One bag of trash for 4 days! Ping pong table was great. Owner is very available. Tankless water heater so we never had to worry about hot water. Great sitting areas for people to get away. Would highly recommend. There is only 1 tv, if that is important to you. We will be back.

Wedding weekend

We had a wonderful weekend in Highlands for a friend’s wedding, despite a couple of brief thunderstorms during the rehearsal evening and on the day of the wedding. Our accommodations added to a perfect weekend. The location of the house was convenient to the wedding venue and to Main Street in Highlands.

Very nice accommodations!

We could not have booked a better home for our stay in the Highlands! This place has it all! It is very spacious, from the living room, bed rooms, back yard porches, everyone was comfortable! It has a well stocked pantry, something we’ve not had before! We only used a few granola bars for a couple of hiking adventures but had so much more to use at our disposal! We were there for a family wedding and really our only disappointment was not enough downtime to spend enjoying the home! Oh and the art decorating the home was beautiful! Kuddos to having a very special place and will definitely look forward to coming back and booking again!

Lighting

It was very nice and much roomier than we would’ve guessed from looking at the picture. It would be ideal if we had brought more family with us. The location to town was good but the road coming up to the house got mighty narrow when you met cars. The only complaint we had was the lighting in the house was terrible. We just like a well lit house and it was very dimly lit.
