Heavenly Getaway in Highlands, NC

We just returned from a magical weekend at this Highlands,NC VRBO, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the mountains. The cabin was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had all the cozy touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Having two master bedrooms is a plus since we were vacationing with another couple. The living area featured large windows that looked out over the forested hills, and we loved sipping coffee on the deck each morning while listening to the birds and quiet. The fireplace was perfect for the cool days and evenings, and the well-stocked kitchen made it easy to cook meals without ever wanting to leave.The location is ideal—peaceful and private, yet just a short drive from charming downtown Highlands with its boutique shops, restaurants, and waterfall hikes.Our hosts were incredibly responsive and thoughtful, leaving welcome detailed instructions for everything in the home. It’s clear they take pride in offering a top-notch experience.We’re already talking about booking another stay (this was our second stay in this home)-this rental truly made our weekend in Highlands one to remember. Highly recommended!

Lovely and great location

The house is impeccably and tastefully appointed and furnished, but is also very comfortable. We were two couples and the bedroom and bath layouts provided great privacy. Downtown Highlands is very walkable or a 2 minute drive. The location is removed from road traffic and noise.

Peaceful Getaway

This property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a quiet weekend. Inside is well furnished and cozy. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The back yard and entryway are beautifully landscaped. We loved the hostas, Mtn laurel, moss and the big rocks. The location is perfect for popping into town for shopping and eating. We found several close by hiking opportunities. Host was quick and easy to communicate with. Check in/out was a breeze. Will definitely return!

The best rental home I've ever stayed in...

While some rentals are "nice," you end up with furniture that is less than comfortable, etc. This home was exactly as shown, with amazingly comfortable furniture, extra comfy bed/linens, & a greatly appointed kitchen. Loved all the touches that we weren't expecting. Labeled light switches, cordless charging stations throughout, Bose speaker to play music from my phone, a french press, cordless small lights for the dining table like in fancy restaurants, a shower that is bigger than my current Main Bathroom in my condo & the FIREPLACE controlled via remote device! It was extra perfect & I so appreciate all that has clearly been considered for this place, not to mention that you've made this available to rent! And we loved the short 5 minute drive down the hills to Main St. Wowser!

Wonderful stay

It was a wonderful stay in the Highlands North Carolina. The house is perfect with two bedrooms, each with a king bed and a fantastic location where we could walk to town. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and access to a deck. Becky was easy to communicate with, and was truly a wonderful host. The house was very clean and looked to be recently renovated. It was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a two bedroom in Highlands North Carolina. Becky offered us ideas of restaurants and places to hike all of which were perfect.
