We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Highlands while celebrating my birthday with family. We were 6 adults and 2 babies and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the beds absolutely lived up to the listing - they were some of the most comfortable we’ve slept in.The home is exactly what you hope for in a mountain getaway—comfortable, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. It felt warm and inviting from the moment we arrived. Being so close to downtown Highlands made it easy to enjoy the restaurants, shops, and everything Main Street has to offer. It was especially convenient with two little ones, allowing us to quickly return to the house whenever we needed.Janet was an outstanding host throughout the entire process. She was responsive and communicative throughout the weekend. My sister-in-law accidentally left behind a pair of shoes. Janet prompt alerted us of this and immediately shipped them back to us which was greatly appreciated. We’ll definitely stay again.

We have been coming to Highlands most of our lives in the summertime. We recently sold our house that was not far from this house. We hoped that we could recreate the wonderful times, we had had with our children, now with our grandchildren. It turned out to be a perfect week as we all gathered together. There was plenty of room, very comfortable house. The grounds are gorgeous and we spent a lot of time outside. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking for a large group and we spent many many hours around the large dining room table. It's only a five minute drive and Highlands and hikes and views are close by. We had a fabulous week.

The property is amazing. And the home is very comfortable. The outside could use so TLC... the outdoor furniture was wore and could be cleaned, otherwise our stay was fantastic.
