Great Place to Stay in Highlands

This is our second time staying at this home and we highly recommend it. It was perfect for our family of four, my wife’s parents and our small dog. Very nice rustic home with excellent views of the mountains and located in very close proximity to main street.

The house is exceptional - elegant as described, with beautiful touches everywhere you look. We loved all of the spaces and enjoyed the fireplace given the cold weather outside.The view is spectacular, and the house has great outdoor spaces as well. The kitchen is very well equipped. The proximity to town cannot be beat. We would love to experience this property at different times of year - it should be spectacular in the summer and fall. The house worked great for our family group of seven. Highly recommend.

Awesome time with family in this home.

We are so glad that we chose this home for this family gathering. The place easily handled six adults and an infant. The chefs in the group loved the kitchen. The sleeping accommodations were excellent. But the real star of our stay was the deck and view. Thanks so much to the owner for sharing their special creation.
