About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

IN TOWN! 2 Blocks From Main Street. 2 Bedrooms/2 Baths. Free WiFi. Sleeps 4.

Park the car and forget about your worries in this recently renovated retreat. With a king bed and full bath on one side of the great room and two twins and a full bath on the other, it's a great space for friends or family.

Only two blocks from Main Street, you can wake up and walk to town for a hot cup of coffee, world class shopping, a day at the spa, ice cream shops, great restaurants, or take a short trip to countless outdoor adventures. Then, return a cozy up with the fireplace and songbirds singing outside your window.

The WiFi will let you stay plugged in, the HD flat screen will let you catch the game, and a front covered porch invite you to enjoy the beautiful climate at 4118 feet above sea level. You can also take a few steps to Harris Lake, where you can feed the ducks and geese (who amazingly ALWAYS seem hungry), or do a little fishing.

If you have a larger family gathering, wedding guests or a big friends' weekend, this house backs up to two other houses of ours with convenient walking paths between: VRBO.com/425273 and VRBO.com/473976

NO smoking, NO pets, NO parties.

We were extremely happy with our rental experience. The location is fantastic in relation to Main St and on an extremely quiet road. We basically didn’t have to move the car for the 3 days we were there. The pond with ducks was a great way to relax and entertain young kids. The nature center an easy walk in the other direction, even with a 3 year old. House was impeccably clean with some nice renovations.

Nice little house in town

Great location, about a 5 min walk to town. Appreciated the closet space since we were in for a wedding with many activities. The old heat pump unit is a little loud (more of a low rumble) but not too bad. We really enjoyed the stay.

Great for a small family!

We loved this property and it’s proximity to Main Street in Highlands! It’s a very short walk to a cute pond with ducks and nice quiet neighborhood. We loved the front porch and we’re out there anytime we were home at the house!

Fantastic Property

My wife and I along with our 13 month old stayed here for three nights. The location was perfect! The street was quiet, and the house is very walkable to all the restaurants and shopping, even with a stroller! The house is very well maintained and clean! It looked as if was newly renovated and freshly painted. The host was very responsive the couple of times we had questions. 10/10 would stay here again!

Convenient & Roomy

Comfortable, cozy, very clean, convenient location. Was pleasantly surprised at the spaciousness of the house. Plenty of kitchen items plus paper items. Plenty of towels in bathrooms & paper products. Did not need to bring anything but personal items. Garage was a plus because we stayed there for Thanksgiving & it was cold. Vehicle stayed warm because we did not need it being so close to town & my sister/brother in law’s house, who live around the corner. Will definitely stay there again!

Retreat with a treat

The retreat is obvious. The “treat” is that you are only steps from downtown Highlands. We walked every day to get the full experience. We’ve stayed in Hghlands several times but never where we could take casual strolls or walk to our shopping or dining destinations. There is so much more to Highlands than we ever knew. The Highlands Biological Station and Ravenel Lake was an unexpected treat and only minutes away by foot. Further into our walk were manicured lawns and Dahlia gardens that that were a feast for the eyes. We even got to experience the annual Rotary 5K run in support of local charities without leaving the porch! The house was perfectly appointed, well maintained (everything worked) and on a beautiful street. There was a deer in the driveway upon our arrival. Nice welcoming! One thing that really appealed to us was that we truly felt at home with people out walking in front of the house almost all day long. You felt like you were in a friendly family oriented neighborhood. We loved our experience and hope to stay in this same house again next year. That is a first for us!

Great location. Very Clean. I would say the only thing that I would add to this rental is in the bedroom with the twin beds I would add a folding luggage rack and in the kitchen a Keurig which most people use these days. Other than that I give it a great recommendation.

Super cute home in a fantastic location to walk everywhere you want to go in Highlands. .3 of a mile from downtown shopping, restaurants, etc. We would stay here again. Close to all hiking, waterfalls and outdoor activities. Particularly enjoyed hiking Glen Falls and Whiteside Mountain. Walked to dinners each night. Excellent restaurants and fun shopping in Downtown Highlands. Very comfortable home that had everything we needed for a great long weekend.

Great house 2 blocks from Main Street! The house is cozy, clean, and super comfortable. The mattress in the primary bedroom is especially comfortable.
