Great Property
What an amazing property. Close to all amenities, but far enough to feel that you were not crowded. Very cozy and spacious for 2. Highly recommend renting if you come to the Highlands. Property managers were fantastic. We will be back.

Great location & perfect little space
We loved the location, easy to walk downtown. The space is decorated well & a great space to relax. Bedding all comfy & ample towels. If you want to cook I’d recommend utensils: spatula, scissors but other than that it was wonderful. Hope to be back soon! Thanks!
Thanks!!

Perfect October Getaway
I desperately needed a break and booked this sweet little place not knowing anything about the Highlands. It was perfection!
