Summer in Highlands

We have stayed in Highlands for the past five years, renting a different place each time. Darcy's place was perfect for us as we like to be able to walk to town and needed space for visiting family members. It was exceptionally comfortable and well located, with everything we could need. Darcy's communication was excellent and she was kind and accommodating. We highly recommend her place!
