About this property

Spacious, In-Town Hideaway

Our home is a comfortable, private hideaway basically in the middle of the town of Highlands. While the neighborhood feels like a quiet, tucked away subdivision you are able to walk to Main Street in minutes. Watching the sun set behind the mountains from our back porch is the perfect way to end your day.
The house is a ranch style house with plenty of room to relax and settle in to mountain life. It is a true walk to town house with sidewalks almost the entire way from Main Street. We welcome pets and kids to visit with their responsible adults to enjoy our home.
You will have access to the entire house during your stay. Large living room with a huge television, open kitchen and dining room, large covered back porch with a view to the west (amazing sunsets), and 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths.
We (Robin and Mason) are both locals (Robin is a native!- a rarity in Highlands), so feel free to ask us questions about our community while you are here. If you need us, we are just a text away. But don't worry, we won't be pesky hosts during your visit if you don't need us for anything.

Thanks so much for staying with us! I'm sorry that we couldn't allow a late checkout for you as requested (we had someone checking in on the same day you were checking out). We do try to always accommodate whenever we are able to. We hope you'll consider staying with us again on your next trip to Highlands.

So close to town just a short walk! Edelweiss desserts just up the road. Pickle ball and swimming at the community center was enjoyed by all! The place has an ideal layout and dinners enjoyed outside!!! Owners provided everything you could possibly need! I highly recommend this place!

Very nice experience

The home and accommodations were very nice. We enjoyed our 4 night stay, and loved sitting in the back porch watching deer and a white tailed fox stroll by. The home is within easy walking distance to Main Street in Highlands which was an added plus. Thank you to the host family!

Girls Weekend

The location was in a quiet wooded neighborhood a short walk from Main Street. The house was spacious and we enjoyed the large deck on the back of the house. It was a great spot to play games and enjoy our morning coffee.

beautiful home perfect location

we loved our stay here ! Its 5 min from town and the rec center which i used every day to swim laps. The home although only 5 min from town feels like you are out in the mountains as you have no neighbors and view only lush green trees from the balcony. Its really a lovely place . The owner was hospitable friendly and asked several times if we needed anything...but of course we didn't. The restaurants were FANTASTIC Paoletti for fish....MP for Korean Salmon barbeque or cury veggies with shrimp over noodles ....so delish....The Bridges for monk fish.....YUM

Great House Great Location

A family of four with pet dog loved the stay. The house is clean and updated. The location is good as you can walk into town. We loved the outdoor porch for meals and playing board games. Plenty of activities in Highlands. The Rec Center is 1/4 mile with pool and tennis.

Awesome home in the heart of Highlands

Perfect spot for our family to gather over the holidays. The home was spacious and had everything needed. We loved the back porch with the great views in the evening. A short walk to downtown Highlands makes it an even greater place to stay.

Comfortable, kid friendly house in an excellent location.

Robin's place is a comfortable, well appointed house on a quiet street, a short walk to town. We spent the month in the home and traveled with our infant, toddler and 2 dogs - the house is very kid friendly. Our favorite features were the back deck (nice sunset view), the flat front yard where the kids could play, and the proximity to town. We loaded the kids in the stroller, leashed up the dogs and walked them to the Playground, Park, Main St. and Harris Lake (duck pond) daily. We loved our stay at Robin's place and look forward to booking again very soon!

Great Stay!

Property is well located close to town but just far enough away in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Loved the back deck for morning coffee and wine at sunset. And the cozy family room for an evening movie. Our dog loved the front window for gazing at chipmunks, the resident rabbit and just waiting for us to return when we occasionally left him. Plenty of space and parking. While we're frequent visitors to Highlands and know our way around, Robin was a lovely host--very responsive and made herself available should we have needed anything!

Great location, wonderful space.

About .5 miles from town, there’s a sidewalk that almost reaches Pinecrest Rd. We made the walk many times with a stroller. Great restaurants..make reservations. paolettis, Wolfgang, 465, wild thyme, Madison’s, bridge...in that order. Scaly, Rabun Bald, Whiteside, whiterock, chatooga, nature center, Glenn falls, ranger falls, and satulah are all within 30 minutes drive...moving baby is happy baby. Great spot to work remote. Fast internet..even on a VPN. Webex and remote servers no issue. Nice nook off the kitchen has a perfect desk with view. Keep the pups on a leash for potty breaks! Rabbits are always in the front yard at night.
