VRBO Review - "Lovely Place"
by Nina HGood service from Highlands vacation rentals. Place is beautiful but it’s 15 minutes from town because the drive is partly unpaved. Would need SUV in winter to access, and don’t bring your sports car!
Review from Sam
by SamLoved it and will choose it again. Large open area for family time. Wall of windows to see forest. Large Deck across the back with places to sit and enjoy the woodsVery helpful. I asked for help to find public golf courses (I searched and didnt find anything satisfactory). They found a list of public golf courses and we had a great day on the course
Review from Jason
by JasonEveryone was nice.. Good experience overall.
Review from Ron
by RonTrip to the mountains. This cabin offered a quiet place in the woods, plenty of room, and many amenities. Numerous trails and nearby Highlands provided options for the family. We loved it.
Review from Jamie
by JamieReview from Shannon
by ShannonForest Retreat was truly that. It was tucked away from Highlands -true serenity - but if you wanted to have amazing restaurants and great shopping town was only 2 miles away. The house is well equipped for a family of 5 (and even more). We made a fire every night and the living room was one of our favorite places. We already want to book again!Lauren was great to work with and advised us on the house- she was helpful and kind and top notch! We will be back
Review from Ada
by AdaGreat stay!!! This property is great and very reasonably priced!! Ample space for two small families to share the space without being on top of each other. Super well kept and clean! Highly recommend!!
Review from Susan
by SusanLoved it! Lori was wonderful to work with and was kind enough to meet us at the house to check the internet and combo lock on the door.

VRBO Review - "1st Time in Highlands, will come back"
by Liz Nvery clean, tons of room and amenities were abundant.
Review from Linda
by LindaReview from Tracy
by TracyIt was the most tranquil and quiet place to get away from all the noise of life!We appreciated the late check out
Review from Nathaniel
by NathanielThe only problem we had is that sometimes the entry hard to see at night in the rain. Maybe a brighter sign. We would have stayed another week but someone beat us to the punch for a 4 day stay.
Review from Ana Maria
by Ana MariaGreat stay! We had a wonderful stay here! The split level allowed for my sisters family and my family to have our own space while still being together (note, you have to specifically ask for the other level). The priority was cleaned right before we arrived! The kitchen was well stocked. The view in the winter allowed us to see the mountains and sunset through the trees. The property is on a remote one lane road with several houses along it but far enough away you feel secluded. They had a Christmas tree set up for us which was such a nice surprise! The downtown as well as multiple small hikes and beautiful waterfalls were within a few minutes drive. We look forward to coming back soon!
