What our guests are saying…

"Great Stay! The house is beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed the back porch quite a bit and opened the windows at night to hear the rushing water. As soon as we got there and sat down on the porch, my husband was ready to plan our next stay. The house is located very close to the downtown area and a local grocery store. We cant wait to go back!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Nicky

Came up for the weekend to enjoy the snow with our 5yr old. This home was fully equipped with everything. It was clean and very well maintained. Perfectly located to everything and very nice neighbors. Property Manager was responsive and we plan to book this property again!

Wonderful house, location

What a terrific place. This would be perfect for 2 couples (but it was awesome for me and my mom to enjoy our own gorgeous space!) Each bedroom has very comfy king beds (one of them is pretty tall). The bathrooms are gorgeous, the kitchen is wonderful, with plenty of good knives (super important to me, because I like to cook.)The owner has thought of everything. There are ceiling fans throughout the house, it’s close to Bryson’s grocery store and close to Main Street. The WiFi works great, the privacy is lovely…and I love listening to the creek out back. My mom and I spent almost the entire trip sitting on the back porch talking and reading. Even when it’s pouring rain, the porch is the best spot. Thank you, THANK YOU …. We will be back!

Well Appointed Home

This two bedroom house was a great find. Clean and well decorated inside. Both bedrooms had ensuite access to a bathroom. The back deck was perfect for enjoying coffee and breakfast in the morning and wine & cheese in the evening. Very short, 3 minute drive to the heart of Highlands.

Relaxing weekend getaway

We had an excellent experience at this property and with Rent in Highlands. Communication was great and they were very responsive when we had questions. The digital guest book was also very convenient. The house itself was perfect for 2 couples with plenty of room to relax and visit. The bathrooms were nicely renovated. The porch and fire pit area were great places to take in the surroundings and listen to the creek flowing in the woods. Will look to rent through them again the next time we go to Highlands!

Have-it-all in Highlands

We loved staying at this property. The home is well-appointed and its close proximity to downtown is incredibly convenient. Visiting during summer, the back porch is the place to relax with the restful sound of the creek in the backyard. I have a high standard for cleanliness and this home was extremely clean which I appreciate. Next time we will book a longer visit!
