Stayed for a long weekend over Halloween and had the best time. The house is very clean and comfortable. There is a great enclosed outdoor room with comfortable furniture and a television. The beds were comfortable and the house is literally right in town. It is an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay again!

Darcy’s place was amazing and exactly as described. It was clean, close to everything and perfect for group with pets to stay. The shops and hiking were amazing and so nice to have an easy location to walk to town or short drive to everything. Walking our dogs was easy on roads by house and her commutation was perfect. Beautiful house and location and highly recommend.

Our family was in town for a weekend wedding. We stayed 3 nights and wish it was 4. Everything in the home was clean and ready to go for us. We gathered at the dining table to eat and play games, the sunroom to relax, and front porch to enjoy the weather and surrounding nature. The downtown area was busy on a Friday and Saturday, so it was very convenient to be able to easily walk there. Darcy is a great host! I highly recommend a stay at this nicely kept home!

The property was perfect for our family. And it had everything we needed. Another big plus is the close proximity to the main part of town; it’s an easy walk. I would definitely recommend this house if your plans take you to Highlands.

This is a wonderful home just on the edge of downtown Highlands. Spacious and well-appointed. We couldn’t think of a thing we’d change. Interaction with owner was A. Highly recommended.
