We stayed for three nights in April. The location is excellent and easily walkable to everything you might want to do in town, though be aware that it's 200 yards or so down a gravel drive and on a gentle hill, so if you have mobility concerns walking may be slightly more challenging. There was plenty of space for our family and the beds were all comfortable. The house could use a little bit of TLC for the price point, but it's clean and safe, and given that it's downtown Highlands the price point is probably to be expected.

Thank you for your honest review! We are so glad you enjoyed the location and appreciate your feedback on the "walkability" for future guests who may be curious. We are working on some updates at this home as we kick into "busy" season, so we genuinely appreciate your feedback and honesty! We hope to host you again soon if you're back in Highlands

A real hidden gem of Highlands - a house that is walkable/easily accessible to the main downtown area. We loved staying here, and getting to walk to dinner/shop/ice cream etc. The house itself has everything you could need - all of the basics, plus a great fireplace and outdoor porch. The communication was excellent the whole time, and we felt in good hands throughout our weekend. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at this house that is literally 2 minute walk from the main street in Highlands. Beautiful quiet location with a creek right outside the back door. Screened in porch allows a quiet relaxing place to sit and listen to the water sounds. A bit dated bathrooms but very clean and well appointed. Property manager was VERY accommodating and extremely responsive. Would definitely stay again!

We loved the house. It was very well taken care of, clean, had everything we needed, sensible layout. The back porch was lovely and we enjoyed many meals there. Location was also great and we could walk to the main street easily.Loved the emails and links with instructions, information and other communication before our trip. Made things a lot easier. Y'all were also super responsive when I had questions, so really appreciated that.

Wonderful location, short walk to Main Street. Very open and clean, we were four adults and we felt very comfortable and not crowded. Well stocked kitchen with extras such as seasonings and plenty of utensils and cookware. The beautiful sounds of water flowing in the creek heard from the deck and screened porch were nice. It was also nice to be able to bring our dogs with us! Highly recommended.Caitlyn was available and very informative, helpful and polite.

Your team was remarkable. The process was easy, and the communications before, during, and after our stay were succinct, informative, and professional. When the gas on the grill ran out, I called to see where we should seek a refilled cannister, and your team came to our rescue in minutes! Exceptional service.

My only comment would be regarding the deck overlooking Mill Creek. I booked the property based on the assumption that the deck in the photos would be available for our use. (My bad for not asking) The stairway to the deck was questionable, the path was overgrown and the deck very slippery. We would have loved to sit out and have coffee by the creek during our stay. Obviously not a deal breaker though. Thanks for your hospitality!Great team, easy to work with!
