The red house was perfect for our vacation. The home and view were sooo much better than the pictures showed. The home was spacious, clean, well appointed, peaceful, and close to all that Highlands has to offer. We truly enjoyed our stay.

The Red House is a wonderful place to get away! We had two small grandchildren who loved the toys which kept them entertained for hours! The bedrooms were nicely decorated and comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We loved hiking the Kelcey Trail to town as well as exploring the waterfalls and nearby zipline the teenagers enjoyed. So many things to do outdoors, but if you wanted more elegance there were several options in Highlands. Locals gave us many suggestions of places to go. My family is ready to come back next year to the Red House! Thanks, Elliott, for sharing your amazing house with us.

We had a fantastic time at the Red House. As other reviews have said, the house is stocked with everything you might need. Peaceful secluded location yet minutes from downtown Highlands. Great long range mountain views from the deck. Fire pit area is awesome. We will book again next time we're in Highlands.
