Great mountain escape
This is a quaint house on a quiet street that is perfect for a mountain getaway. Firepit was a good perk. The best part is you feel remote because it is so quiet, but you are only like a 4 minute drive into downtown Highlands. It was clean inside. Had no issues. Check-in and out was a breeze.
