We LOVED everything about our stay in Highlands. This condo was perfect proximity to Main Street, making lunch, dinner, and shopping so easy and fun. Thank you, Melle for letting us stay at Willow! We will definitely be repeating this trip!
What a beautiful property! The unit was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and cozy for my husband, and I along with our two little pups. We wanted for nothing and town was just a short walk away. Will absolutely be back!
Our family loves to rent from Melle! The lofts are incredibly clean, walkable location to town, beds and linens are high end and the kitchen is organized with all the essentials. Melle has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Thanks again for a great week!!
