Autumn Ridge, 3/2, peaceful/ secluded...1.5 mi from Highlands and fast internet!

Looking for some peace and quiet and to get back to nature? Autumn Ridge sits on a secluded hill with nothing but trees in sight. Your trip starts with a quiet drive through a tunnel of trees to the top of the hill with no neighbors in sight. Plan your own vacation with shopping, antiquing, ziplining, hiking, canoeing on mirror lake, fishing, or even just enjoying the fresh mountain air. You can explore the shopping and restaurants of downtown Highlands which is only 1.5 miles away. Once you come back home you can listen to the leaves rustle overhead while sitting on the deck with a hot coffee or hot chocolate surrounded by the soft movement of the forest. Road to house meanders up the and then down the hill creating a mile long walk or run. Take the dogs off the leash and let them run but don't be surprised to see deer jumping through the brush. Peaceful, beautiful, super comfortable beds, and the whole house was just renovated with guests in mind. House has great internet which sometimes is a rarity in this area! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Overall, the house was great. Very comfortable living and sleeping spaces. The house was nice and clean when we arrived, and it is close to downtown as advertised. Would definitely recommend to others. We did wish the kitchen had a few more utensils for cooking and baking. There was only one sharp knife we found and very few measuring cups/spoons. Overall a great stay. Thanks!

Great spot very close to Highlands

We stayed there with my 3 little kids. The house was perfect for our needs. It is under 3 miles to downtown Highlands which came in clutch when vacationing with 3 kids who needed to head home at parts of the day for nap times. Host did a great job of communicating all necessary information.
