The kitchen had everything we could need. Decor is beautiful and beds were comfortable. Fenced in backyard was a huge plus for our dog. Location was perfect. Short drive to downtown Highlands and easy proximity to lots of outdoor activities. We hiked Whiteside Mountian as well as Gorges State Park during our stay. All you could want or ask for in a vacation rental. ##### Blake H. ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Nice place Pretty place, quiet and relaxing. Two negative comments: I am very sensitive to odors so had to wash the sheets and towels with a fragrance-free detergent that I had to purchase. The only detergent in the laundry area was Gain, which I am highly allergic to! That was a problem for me. Also, if you are going to leave a couple rolls of toilet paper and some paper towels please have some better quality. I have had better paper products in rural China! Very nice home, and we enjoyed it. Nicely decorated. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great home convenient to popular hikes and downtown Highlands.
