What our guests are saying…
"The Best of Highlands. This property had everything we wanted and more! The home is thoughtfully laid out, the kitchen has modern appliances, the decor and open concept make the perfect space for all of the guests to spend time together. The porch is large and comfortable, the view of Satulah Mountain via the front porch rocking chairs, and the adorable guest cottage all provide even more of what you're looking for. Last but not least, this property sits right next to a beautiful waterfall! That's right! A waterfall with tables and chairs for enjoying is just a few steps from the screened porch. We all want to come back, time and time again!!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Dana
