Great multi-generational family visit to Highlands. House is well laid out with outstanding dining / living room combo with vaulted ceilings and a grand fireplace. Very generous sized elevated back porch off the family room with terrific view out the back to the lake and waterfowl. Home is well equipped and even has two laundry rooms for larger groups. Plenty of off street parking.Best of all, the location is as advertised with superb access to all the downtown shops and restaurants. The only improvement would be the addition of an outdoor fireplace/fire pit.

Home was absolutely beautiful and perfectly situated in walking distance to most places. Owners were very responsive when we reached out. A few extra amenities (small toiletries and a few spices (salt & pepper, etc) would have helped our grocery runs however overall fantastic home and visit!!! Loved the church bells, visits from the nearby bears, waterfalls and creating wonderful memories.
