Main gem of home has to be the expansive covered deck with daybed swing and so many other seating options overlooking the scenic backyard scape and partial lake view. We hung out on the deck every chance we got to enjoy the serene views, wind chimes, nature sounds and rainfalls (and so few bugs!). Other gems: firepit area (didn't use this stay) and dock access to lake with well-built canoe and kayak provided (kids took canoe few times). Too much lake bottom silt for us to want to swim but good cardio exercise walking up/down the 56 sturdy wood platform steps. Driveway somewhat steep and a bit of a challenge for our minivan but alas, you are in the mountains. Plentiful stock of bath/beach towels, linens/pillows/blankets, laundry pods/dish soap and even some board games. In the kitchen frig and pantry by front door, even some staples left from owner/other guests for you to use. Beds comfortable, also the couches! House super clean and so inviting!!Top notch communication with Holly and rental place, and they even send you a link of a guestbook about the house info (keypad access is so easy!) and local area guide of places to visit/eating places. Dry Falls a must see (very close from house)-spectacular waterfall you can walk behind and not far from parking lot. And a swimming water hole down the road from it (Quarry Falls/Bust Your Butt Falls??). Favorite places to eat: Blue Bike Cafe (breakfast/lunch), Four65 Woodfire Bistro (pizza) in downtown Highlands.Hope to return!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our family was very comfortable at the house, which had everything you needed and a great location close to town and hiking. Property manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with as well.
