About the host
Hosted by Laird Memory
We (Laird&Matt) have been coming to the highlands for over 20 years. Being Atlanta residents we love the cool weather and laid back attitude of the mountains.
Why they chose this property
We walked by this property for years and always thought it would be the perfect place to build a home. It is on a lake, has amazing views of the mountains and is only one block from Main Street and Old Edwards Inn! It really has it all. We never would have imagined we'd be able to acquire the property, and when we did we set out on a two year journey to design and build a perfect place for extended families to gather.
What makes this property unique
We love that we can park our cars for the weekend and just relax. We can look at the lake and the mountains and then walk to Main street in a less than a minute. We designed the house so that two families could each have two bedrooms and a bath and then a couple could stay up in the master bedroom. Everyone gets an equally great place to stay.
