We rented this home for my mother’s 80th birthday. It was the perfect home to accommodate 4 generations. The outdoor covered patio with Green Egg grills was used daily, as was the outdoor fireplace and TV. We especially enjoyed watching the LSU Tigers win the College World Series on the outdoor patio. The kitchen is beautiful and well-appointed. The furnishings throughout are gorgeous and comfortable. There so many rooms to enjoy on this property. The log cabin and guest house are also very nice, and allows for families to spread out. The billiards room was also a hit with our group, providing for friendly competition among siblings. The home is very convenient to the grocery store (3-4 minute drive) and to Highlands shops. This home truly has it ALL!! ##### jennifer t. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viv W.

The grounds are beautiful and it seems every comfort was considered. Several areas perfect for reading a book. Kitchen is designed for ease in preparing meals with state of the art appliances. The Big Green Egg and pellet smoker was used to full capacity!! The big screen tv in the grill area helped us stay current on the sports. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Viv W.
