We had a wonderful stay at the Valentine Estate! We were celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday so it was a special occasion. The was everything we hoped it would be and then some. Every room in this house is special. We hosted our best friends on this trip and everyone said they loved it. Janet was perfect with communication and getting everything set up for us! She helped make it a special time for us! The house is located about five minutes from Main Street so you can get to town quickly whether it’s for dinner reservations or a quick need at the grocery store. We will stay here again. I highly recommend going there!

I brought my wife and several of her long time friends from scattered around the country in for a milestone birthday celebration in our beloved Highlands. 26 Valentine was absolutely wonderful - incredibly comfortable, inviting and plenty of room for 10 guests. The back porches are magnificent, and the spaciousness is so relaxing! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Location of the house was wonderful. Only taking about 5 minutes to get to Main Street. House was very secluded and private. Although it lacked long range views the stream and land provided a beautiful and relaxing setting. We would stay again next time we are in the Highlands for vacation.

This is a fantastic property that accommodated our large group very well. The house is huge, the rooms are so spacious, the kitchen is very well stocked, the deck is amazing, multiple fire places and fire pits that gave such a wonderful ambiance to our stay. The house was even better than the pictures depicted. We hope to come back next year.

Well appointed. Great location.

Perfect house for a family or multi-couple getaway. Close to town in a beautiful wooded setting. Very well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen. Would love to come back in the winter to enjoy the wood burning fireplaces!

Amazing house for multiple families!

We loved our stay! The house was big enough for two large families. We didn’t even use the guest house but will definitely be back and bring grandparents. The backyard is magical and great place for kids to explore. The location is also great and close to downtown!

Fourth of July, incredible family getaway

Our family has been going to Highlands North Carolina for quite some while we are from Florida our children live in Alabama and Georgia. We all met up at Valentine estate and probably had the finest time we’ve had on the family getaway in our lifetime. It was truly everything we imagined, and Janet was superb in every way. What a perfect place!!!

Great family long weekend reunion! Check in was welcoming and super easy with Janet! Plenty of room for kids and grandkids—little ones loved yard with tiny pond filled by two small creeks. Nice location on edge of town—five minutes from grocery store or Kilwins, but felt like being in middle of forest! Well equipped kitchen for cooking in—ten minutes from restaurants for chef’s night out. A beautiful property for a large group—thanks again Janet!

Great space & close to town

A group of us stayed at this large & very well stocked home for a girls weekend. The communication with the property manager exceeded all expectations! She communicated with us before we got there and was available for any questions we had. The property itself was really great space. 11 of us stayed very comfortably. And the back yard was nothing short of a fairy dreamland. The house was just about 5 min drive from downtown Highlands, and not far from hiking. We enjoyed everything about our stay!

Family getaway

Check in was so easy ! And the chocolate cake was a hit ! We enjoyed our few nights away as a growing family. We didn’t even use one of the bedrooms and had 16 total ,including little ones. We hiked and visited Highlands , so close ! Definitely a house to keep in mind for future mountain trips !!!

Everything was perfect!

This house was a beautiful setting for my daughter’s bachelorette weekend getaway. Plenty of room and bathrooms. From the booking stage to the checkout and follow up…the communication was excellent! I would highly recommend this property for a large family/group gathering. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and wanted! We had a private chef come in and cook for us and she found the kitchen and supplies far above par from other places she has worked. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

Wonderful weekend getaway!

Our group of college friends and spouses had a wonderful stay at this property! We were celebrating our 60th birthdays, and had everything we needed for a weekend of fun, fellowship and football! The house is just beautiful and very well equipped down to perfectly stacked and cut wood for the fireplaces. We even had lighted make up mirrors! It was more than advertised! Janet was available to answer all questions before and during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Great weekend!

We loved the house and it was perfect for our family ranging from age 9 months to 87. So much space and good for multiple groups to each have their own area. And our grandchildren had so much fun exploring the fairytale back yard. Janet was great, meeting us at the house when we arrived and giving us a tour, and was readily available via text for any questions we had. And the bottle of wine and s’mores kit left for us were fun surprises. All in all a wonderful weekend and I would definitely recommend the house.

Incredible property

The home was beautifully decorated and well taken care of. The beds and bathrooms were also very clean. The backyard was breathtaking! We absolutely loved all of the fireplaces inside and outside! We had such a lovely time! The home is also so close to town which was a huge plus for us! We will most certainly be back! The house manager was also so wonderful to work with! Provided us with an infant bath and toddler booster seat. She was so accommodating and extremely helpful in providing all sorts of recommendations! We travel to Highlands often and this is one our favorites homes and house managers!

Fantastic Home!

We came in town for my niece's wedding. I waited too long to book rooms at the suggested hotel and had to find an alternative place. Oh my Gosh! I'm so glad I procrastinated! This house is Fabulous....Spacious, Super clean, and Fully Stocked. We were only 5 minutes from the Old Edwards Inn where the wedding party stayed & so much more comfortable. Several people complained that the hotel bar was crowded, noisy & super expensive. My brother could never find an open seat, so he and some of the others ended up coming over to our house to hang out and visit. Janet was great. She greeted us and showed us around the house. Staying at Valentine Estate made our family wedding so incredibly special. Highly recommend!

FABULOUS property!!

I was a bit hesitant to rent a house without any reviews. The photos and description sounded like everything we wanted. Janet was great about answering questions before we booked. I’m so glad I trusted my instinct! The house was comfortable, immaculate & just 5 minutes from downtown Highlands. The 8 of us have been getting together for an annual “girls trip” for over 25 years. This is without a doubt the best appointed house we have ever rented. There are 3 fireplaces…. we loved the one in the kitchen. The bedrooms were private & spacious with super comfy beds. Every bathroom had a lighted makeup mirror & plenty of supplies. There were even 3 different coffee stations. Great layout….We loved hanging out together around the fireplace in the great room and retreated to our private rooms at night. We stayed just 3 nights, but wish we had booked a week. We all want to come back with our families. Just a perfect place.
