Wonderful place to stay in the Highlands.

by Jeff and Suzan

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Highlands suites. We enjoyed it so much the first time we came back again. Great amenities. Clean, quiet and you can’t beat the location from downtown and even anywhere you drive nearby for food or hiking. We will be back again next year.

I feel like this inn is the best kept secret and I don’t want the word to get out! Ideal location close to Main Street but also has a great outdoor space next to a creek. We’ve stayed here twice now and I’m sure we will be back !

Review from Tricia

by Tricia
Our suite exceeded my expectations. It was bigger than I thought it would be but still cozy. The furnishings were so nice and homey. The location by the creek was a treat as well. It was very clean when we arrived. This was our first visit to Highlands (for a friend's wedding). The location of Inn at Mill Creek was perfect as we walked everywhere and never used our car while we were there. Inn at Mill Creek is very convenient to all that Highlands has to offer. We walked to dinner at The Bridge and they have the cafe below in the same building. Loved the assigned parking too. Overall, the perfect place to stay. I will highly recommend Inn at Mill Creek to friends/family.I mostly did everything on-line and didn't have to actually talk to someone. All my questions, procedures, instructions were emailed and texted to me which was easy.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Very clean, perfect set up, comfortable bed, very convenient to downtown but secluded enough to be peaceful and quiet. Loved the gas logs. Outdoor sitting areas were great. Not sure it could have been better, especially with our little puppy.David was great to work with on the phone and by text. We requested some additional coffee and cups and it was delivered quickly and with a smile.

We have been coming to the Highlands here for 22 years. Its our little get away. We are builders and notice more than the general public.(not snobs but notice) These suites are super cute and clean and actually have nice craftsmanship. Gotta say, I'm a fan, and glad we were connected with this team.Lori B is the best and my new friend in Highlands.

Enjoyable room, very comfortable bed. The location was very convenient, and the fact that it was a smaller place meant we got to enjoy the benefits of being in town close to everything with the benefits of renting a cabin (nice view of the creek, some feeling of privacy/quietness, car nearby for easy packing/heading out).

Our stay at the Inn at Creekside Silver Linings was amazing! The location allowed my husband and I to easily walk anywhere we needed to go for shopping and dining. We had our dog stay here with us too and the suite was perfect for her! Everything was so clean and welcoming when we arrived. Communication between us and Highlands Vacation Rentals was always very quick. The adirondack chairs outside were a nice touch so we could hang out outside the room and enjoy the beautiful creek views. We will definitely be back to Highlands soon and would book here again!

We stayed at the Inn at Creekside (Silver Linings) for a getaway weekend and it was amazing. Even better than the photos portray! Check-in/check-out and communications with the Highlands Vacation Rentals team were easy. The suite was clean, well-equipped and spacious, but our favorite part was the outdoor space. There is a creek right behind the Inn, steps outside the door, with chairs and tables where we spent lots of our time playing cards, having breakfast, or enjoying a glass of wine! It was so nice to have that extra space for down time. We also loved that our suite was dog-friendly; our pup loved wandering around the creek. Our other favorite part was the location. It is a 3-minute walk to the main strip of restaurants and shops, but just "far enough" where it still felt quiet and secluded. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!
