Overall our experience was good. Highlands, NC is beautiful. Great hiking and waterfalls. Main town shops and restaurants are very nice but expensive. Be aware of times, many restaurants close by 9pm. Our stay was good, house could use some refreshing and updates.

10/10

Loved staying in this house. My kids especially loved the top floor. Because of how tall it is and the porches, it felt a bit like a tree house. Private, cozy, perfect location.

We enjoyed our time at this property. Very clean, easy access and great location. Would recommend this property to friends & family. Looking forward to another trip next year.

Cute house in a great neighborhood that is very close to town. Lots of stairs. Wish there would have been more flexibility with the check in time (3PM) and check out time (10AM).

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The home was huge and we loved that we were able to walk into town (but note that both the driveway & the street the house is on are quite steep!) and the porch is so lovely. The house wasn’t super clean & we had some issues communicating with the host/company with a particular issue, but overall we had a nice stay & would probably stay here again!

This rental had comfortable furniture, plenty of quality towels, dishes, cutlery & within walking distance to town. Internet service was good. However, it needs a deep cleaning & attention to some maintenance issues - for instance, none of the windows opened. It would have been helpful to have had some type of home book to guide us on the particulars of this house.

My wife and I were in town for the Highlands Motoring Festival. The home is close enough town that we could walk to the Motoring Festival and not have to fight for a parking space downtown. The house was well equipped and the location convenient. Our only negative was constant noise from a house under construction directly behind the home. Nothing the owner can do about it, but if you are wanting a quiet stay you may be disappointed. They were even working early on Sunday morning. Roads in the subdivision are extremely narrow and we had to pull off the road regularly to allow vehicles going the opposite direction to pass.

Location is excellent but you can definitely tell this property is run by a management company. House was clean except for the inch of dust on the windows over the master bed. Upstairs TV did not work and after letting Dale know, all he could say was “they were very sorry.” Everything outside was covered in pollen, so we did not take advantage of the outside seating. Only one burner on the grill worked so we changed our minds on cooking outside. Ample towels, beds slept great. Overall a 3 out of 5. Pantry was not stocked. Kiddos wanted to watch March Madness but since the upstairs TV did not work, we all crammed downstairs to watch. This could be a 5 star house if it was managed by the owners or someone with a personal vested interest.

Property as described. Very clean. Comfortable. Enjoyed the decks and views, just wish we didnt have so much rain to enjoy it even more! (The covered patio doesnt protect from rain well). Close proximity to town, "easy" walk in regards to distance (which is why we chose this place) however very steep walk home. Disclaimer: we're from florida so any incline seems steep, haha, but the road and driveway were def very steep! Made for a good workout. Most enjoyed bringing our two dogs for very minimal fee, which we appreciate! Loved our stay, enjoying the house, charming town, and nearby naturesque trails!

The house was clean and roomy. There were plenty of towels and comfortable beds. The location was very close to downtown. We are repeat customers in renting this house. We plan to try and get it next year also. 10 out of 10.

The house wreaks of smoke from the fireplace. VRBO and the property manager would not refund our stay.

This house is bigger than the pictures looked. The living space isn’t huge, but has plenty of beds and a great porch! Sadly, the porch furniture was all blown around from the storm before we got there, but other than that - we had a blast!

So convenient to downtown Highlands. The kids love the 3rd floor bunk beds. Definitely a private, peaceful spot.

Great getaway with the family. Kids loved the bunk bed loft space. Great location very close to all the downtown activity. Did have some TV/internet issues but not a deal breaker.

This property was spotless and well stocked for a week away. Easy walk into town but yet far enough out that made you feel like you were in the woods. An amazing wrap around porch with ample seating, was perfect for enjoying the cool weather. I would definitely stay here again.

We were four retired ladies from Florida on a Girl’s Trip to escape Florida’s summer heat. This beautiful home gave us a perfect place to relax and rest between all our activities; Hiking, shopping, dining, etc. We most appreciated the quick response from the management company when we awoke one morning to a swarm of hornets from a fallen nest. Within 10 minutes someone arrived and took care of it, now that’s great service!

Good location….nice porch. The rug in the den was pretty dirty and needs replacing. It would not have worked out for more than 1 couple as you have to climb to the top floor in the bunk room where the second bathroom is. The skylight upstairs leaked and the master tub was very slow to drain. Also the garbage can outside was completely full of garbage on our arrival. Don’t know when it was last dumped. Bring a blow dryer when you come…we had to go buy one.
