Norman Ridge: In-Town Charming Home w/ Mountain Views, Firepit | Pet Friendly

This is the  fourth time we've stayed in your welcoming home-- what started as a home large enough for our extended family -- has turned into a place we love and cherish-- even if there's only 2 of us. The porch, the breeze, the beautiful surroundings-- All something we've come to look forward to year after year. 

We love Highlands (been coming over 30 years), and we can add Norman Rige to the top of our fav memory list!

We truly enjoyed our family time at your beautiful home. We felt like we had stepped into a magazine but then felt warm and welcomed. Our youngest daughter was married at the The Farm and this house provided us a home where all of our family could gather and celebrate. 

Thank you so much!

This was the most wonderful family home for our family to enjoy our Niece's wedding! My grown kids from Gerogia, Alabama, Los Angeles and D.C. were all here and your home was the perfect backdrop for a wonderful weekend together!

This ha sbeen a relaxing and fun family vacation for the six of us 🙂 The weather has been cool and pleasant and the location is wooded and private even though the town of Highlands is near-by. We went into town for an evening dinner out and walked the streets and "browsed" in some of the shops. Our family is from Birmingham AL and Cedartown GA with ages 81 down to 15.

We had wonderful family vacation with ur extended family ages ranging from 2 to 67! Thank you for providing such a comfortable, well-maintained and clearly loved for home! We will definitely make a trip back to escape the Dallas and Memphis heat next summer! 

This was our second "family" visit to your beautiful home. It was a great gathering place for the entire family (from 18-84). We love the beautiful furnishings, convenient location -- and best of all-- making wonderful memories and relaxing on the porch!

We will be back! 

Father's Day weekend and a week of core memories for the Randall Family! We found snails, a frog, tadpoles, and roasted S'mores! Our children 14, 11, 8, and 6 all want to come back for fun times on the pack porch -- playing the hook the ring game, and reading! 

Thank you!

What a wonderful few days we just spent at Norman Ridge. The home is so beautiful and spacious, yet also cozy. The views are incredible and the location to town is perfect! We are looking forward to our visit back next fall!

This property was truly incredible. Beautiful views and plenty of space for a group to have individual spaces to relax. Will definitely be returning! Wonderful communication and the house was stocked with everything we could have needed.

Norman Ridge far exceeded any expectations. The house is in extremely great shape while also having many timeless features and incredible character. The home was a blessing to stay in and I would like to stay here for years to come. The beds ALL are extremely comfortable. Kitchen was perfect for our group. Indoor fire places in too many rooms to count and were in great working order. The screened in porch was well kept and very relaxing. The decorations, construction, and finishes throughout this house were amazing and very well selected. All bathrooms were fantastic. Cannot say enough great things about this house.

The house is warm, comfortable and welcoming! Lovely home with lots of character, and it was well-stocked for what we needed for a fun weekend! We loved it. I would love to return!All went well.

The house was fantastic. The convenience to town along with the feeling of being secluded was awesome. Very cozy and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the stay.

Wonderful stay overall. So much fun to have 3 generations of our family under one roof. Great proximity to Highlands and all the area has to offer.HVR was very helpful, especially due to the fact that the property management company changed from Highlands Cove Realty to HVR between the time we booked and when our rental was. This was made a smooth transition. We only called a couple of times before and during our stay, but quickly got the information that we needed.
