VRBO Review

The best in Highlands! For the last 15 summers, my girlfriend and I have vacationed in Highlands. This year, this property was finally open the dates we were planning on being in Highlands. We have checked it out through its listing on Vrbo, where we were impressed with the photos. When we arrived, it did not disappoint. Everything is very modern and clean. All 3 bedrooms have King size beds, and private bathrooms. I am not a firm bed lover, but the beds are firm, yet as soon as I laid down, my body slowly sunk into the bed a couple inches. I haven't had that kind of sleep in a while. The bathrooms were extremely clean and inviting. There were the typical shower lotions provided and presented in custom boxes. And plenty of towels and wash cloths in each bathroom. The living room welcomed us with a gas fireplace, and plenty of relaxing options to sit and enjoy tv. (Like anyone really goes to Highlands to watch tv). The living room, along with the 2 lower bedrooms, had 16 foot ceilings. The kitchen was very well appointed, with a Sub-Zero fridge and 2 drawer freezers, and a Wolf stove/oven. It is supplied with everything you need to stay for an extended visit. The laundry room was also well supplied. It is larger than our home's, and more cabinets than any family needs. It also has a very nice wine cabinet in the laundry room.And this home away from home allows pets! With no lingering smells.Lastly, it is on Main St., a short walk to great restaurants.

We loved this space! The creek nearby was the gem of this spot. Walkable, peaceful, and a nice little town view from the window. We will be back!

This property met our expectations and then some. It was well appointed with so many nice touches such as luxurious spa robes, extra blankets and pillows, a French press, and so much more. The location was perfect for walking the whole town. There were six people in our party and everyone had plenty of space to spread out. The bathrooms were spectacular. Highly recommend this property!

This was a beautifully designed, clean and altogether enjoyable property. It is located in the middle of town and central to everything. The internet service went down while we were there (due to a truck hitting a pole) and after we expressed how critical it was for us to have internet access, the rental company went to the additional trouble of bringing us a Starlink for our use. Such amazing customer service - truly above and beyond and we very much appreciate it! We will absolutely be back (and we are so grateful that they allowed our two well behaved, mature dogs)! Thank you!

We absolutely love this property!! We were there for our son’s Old Edwards wedding, so it was very convenient. We originally planned our rehearsal dinner at Wolfgang Nextdoor… then they sold it. We ended up at Ruffed Grouse which was amazing and also convenient! We want to come back to this property again in the future, for sure! Perfect location and over the top beautiful apartment!

Great location, comfortable sleep spaces, responsive host.

This property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean and we loved that each bedroom space had their own bathroom. The location could not have been better. Right in the middle of town yet tucked away so that its still a private area.

This was absolutely perfect for me, my husband, & our dog Ada. We couldn’t have been happier. We enjoyed spending time on all 3 porches, grilling out twice, cooking in the well appointed kitchen, & the decor is elegantly soothing. Five stars from top to bottom.

Loved staying at the condo. We were with family and friends for a dear friend’s child’s wedding. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great, and it was perfect for three couples. The kitchen was also wonderful! Hope to stay there again in the future.

Beautiful and spacious home in the perfect location on Main Street for dining and shopping. We could step right out the front door and walk to dinner! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are so comfortable with tempurpedic mattresses. Theres a big fireplace in the living room which is so nice to cozy up to. The bathrooms have heated floors. We will definitely stay here again!Great communication and easy instructions with good information. We never needed to reach out to anyone for anything.

We have always stayed at Old Edwards, but this is our new place! The location is second to none. Walking distance to everything in downtown Highlands. In the center of all the action - but so private. We love the modern decor, cozy fireplace and heated bathroom floors. Already planning our next trip.Friendly team and really appreciate the communication via email and text

I cant say enough great things about 488 Main. The location is beyond PERFECT! Directly next door to Wolfgang Puck restaurant and across the street from Old Edwards Inn. We walked everywhere we needed to go in town. The only time we needed to drive was to hiking locations. The rental is very clean and decor is spot on! Perfect a girls trip weekend! We will be back and you wont be sorry you rented this apartment. Thank you Lauren for your help!Lauren was a delight to work with! She was very attentive to our needs and quickly responded to all questions prior to our stay. Highly recommend.

Loved the apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Loved that it was up to date. Loved being in town. Make sure Wolfgangs property does not play the music too loud while preparing early in the day the dinner. We liked the music we heard but it could be the other way around. Just be aware.Very good.

Sue’s place was wonderful. Only 7 minute from the Main Street in Highlands, it was a great place to be location wise. The small apartment was cozy and comfortable as well as being very clean. Check in was very easy, and Sue was accessible for questions. Overall a great stay!

Thank you Cameron! So glad that you enjoyed your time at Haven and in Highlands. Two bright spots! Hope you will come back soon! Sue
