Such a beautiful property and very convenient to downtown Highlands and hiking trails. Owner was very good to communicate on details for checking in and the home had everything we needed for our stay. Will definitely stay there again when visiting the area!!
Great property for a restful get away. As always the Highlands never disappoints and this house was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy family. We especially loved the screen porch and well appointments kitchen. Beds and bathrooms were nicely appointed as well.
My wife, daughter, and I stayed at the Treetop Cottage for my daughter’s spring break. We immediately felt at home upon our arrival and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Cottage is charming and the interior was very well done. We loved the back deck and spent a lot of time out there looking for white squirrels. The beds were extremely comfortable and overall the Cottage was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. We found it very easy to get around with the drive to Main Street just 5 to 7 minutes away. Upon booking, communications with Laura was quick and consistent throughout and we could not recommend the Treetop Cottage anymore.Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your Treetop Cottage and we definitely will look to return!
We enjoyed the stay very much. The home is comfortable, easy to get to, and convenient to downtown Highlands and to Cashiers. We slept well and felt at home.
Great location, close to downtown highlands. Very clean, comfortable beds. Was disappointed we couldn’t use the fire place during our summer stay.

We are glad you enjoyed your visit to Treetop Cottage. We apologize for any disappointment in the inability to use the fireplace. We did not realize that guests would want to use the fireplace during the warm summer months. The fireplace is operational during the spring, fall and winter months.
We had a wonderful stay at the Treetop Cottage. The location was perfect — close to both downtown Highlands and Cashiers. The house was very comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We loved spending time outside on the deck and screened-in porch. Thank you for a great stay!
Absolutely loved this home! It was clean, spacious, beautifully-decorated and comfortable. With no permanent residents in the home, it feels more like a huge hotel suite than and a vacation rental. The location is wonderful in a quiet neighborhood, very close to downtown Highlands. The back patio is very spacious and has both a covered and uncovered area. Plenty of room to enjoy. Would love to stay here again!
This condo was perfect! Very well appointed and perfect location. We had everything we could possibly need (and then some)! The fireplace was cozy on long, rainy days and the space was perfect for a family. I cannot say enough positive things about this place; we would definitely stay here again!
The condo was clean, well furnished, and very comfortable.
Laura was so easy to work with and very responsive when we needed her. The best thing about the location is the incredible views. We were mesmerized by the tranquility and beauty. If available we would certainly return.
Amazing property that around us to unwind. Proximity to town was ideal and the long range views are breathtaking. 10 out of 10. Will be back and will recommend to others.
This was one of the best VRBO that I have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect! The VIEW was amazing!! Oh my!! The decor was elegant and the kitchen was fully stocked with any appliances, dishes or utensils that you could possibly want. Layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms were great! We loved the privacy as well - being on top of the mountain. Laura was so easy to communicate with as well. We had SUCH a great time and look forward to coming next year.
This was an absolutely beautiful place to stay! The view is exactly as it is pictured, and the condo is spacious , clean and quiet. It included all your basic amenities. Felt very secluded and private, yet located within mins of grocery store, restaurants and the scaly mountain screamer. Which was like a private roller coaster that you can control speed as you ride. My kids loved it! The only issue is you do have to go down 3 small flights of stairs, consisting of approximately 8 steps each to get in and out of the condo. And there were a few games, but nothing that really interested my kids. Ages 10 & 11. All things considered I would definitely go back here, I would just pack a lighter suitcase! …and a few of the kid’s favorite board games.

We were happy to have you and your children. We appreciate the games comment and we have added a few more games. You are welcome back anytime !
You can't beat the views, been coming to Highlands for years and you won't find a more spectacular view anywhere! Nicely renovated, fantastic kitchen that's fully stocked with anything you need. High end furnishings and comfy beds.
Clean and comfortable property, great kitchen with lots of gear and those views. Owner was cordial and responded quickly to questions. Looking forward to going back!
Everything exceeded our expectations. Communication with Hal was easy and prompt. We loved the views from the deck as well as the beauty of the surrounding neighborhood. It is so convenient to hiking trails and downtown restaurants and shopping. We hope to return soon!
The stay at VZ Top was great, the condo was modern and had everything we could need for our weeklong stay. Hal was very responsive to any communications we had with him. The outside deck is just a great place to look at the mountains and especially the sunsets. (An extra bonus was the flying squirrels.) This will be our new Highlands property to stay at whenever we are in town.
