About this property

Above a Wine Shoppe...Downtown Highlands!

Walk anywhere!! In-Town Property.


I can't think of a better place to be than Highlands, NC. The only thing better is a location with the ability to walk everywhere in town and be above a Wine Shoppe! You will access to our Main St. facing front yard with fire pit, tables and chairs. The end to a perfect evening is having a glass of wine while sitting by the fire pit.

Our apartment was remodeled in 2017. Most of the work was done by my Father (a retired Highlands builder). We wanted to keep the characteristics of Highlands but offer modern amenities. Our property is #1 on the Historical Registry for Highlands.

The host was extremely friendly and on site. They made the stay very comfortable. The unit had everything you would need for even an extended stay. The afternoon and evening crowds in the front gathering area was a great experience. Be aware of being upstairs, there will be some stairs to take your luggage up. Would not hesitate to stay again.

We loved it here; it is the perfect location in downtown Highlands! It was walkable to everything in the Highlands, and more spacious than the pictures make it look. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to the Highlands! A couple things to note: the porch furniture was a little lacking (not what is shown in the photos) and the only thermostat for the building is in the wine shop, so you have to text the owner to have the temperature adjusted. That said, the temperature setting was fine and we did not need it altered during our stay. Aside from these items, everything was perfect, and the owner was great at communicating.

Great location and very roomy

The location of this property was perfect for a weekend in Highlands - walking distance from shops and restaurants. It was a short drive to good hiking trails. The wine shop below was great; there was a lot of nice outdoor seating there.
