Everything about this property was absolutely perfect! The home was beautiful with incredible design and aesthetics. Everything was so clean and fresh. We had zero complaints about anything. The views were breathtaking. It even snowed while we were here and didn’t impact the short drive to town one bit. The host, Abbie, was so sweet and very prompt in replying to messages. Absolutely recommend staying in this amazing home!

We loved this beautiful Highlands home! It was perfect for our 3 families and the mountain views are just gorgeous! It is just a short drive into downtown Highlands which we loved. The fire pit and ping pong table were enjoyed by all. The host was so sweet and helpful when we had questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Great house for a girls weekend. It was a little hard to find using Waze, but Google Maps worked fine.
