Excellent Visit!

Very fine and well cared for home, splendidly located and outfitted. The roads are quite narrow and curving, as one would expect in a mountain setting. Good nearby restaurants although parking can be challenging. We brought our small border terrier and she too had a fine time. Top recommendation.
Atop Whiterock Mountain. Wonderful views. Really recommended.

Clean & Comfortable

We rented this property for a family stay (6 adults, 1 infant) to attend a wedding at The Farm at Old Edwards and other wedding-related gatherings in Highlands. The property was clean, well-maintained & well-stocked with dishes & other essentials for our 4 night stay, and is located close (under a mile & a half) to Highlands. Check-in was easy & problem-free. Caroline (the host) was very responsive to questions & provided helpful information about the area. The landscaper was not able to get there before our stay due to ongoing weather issues, so there was some overgrowth that needed tending, but rain prevented us from using the fire pit anyway. Our only minor critiques would be to have firmer beds, (that’s just our personal preference,) and maybe an 11:00 a.m. checkout rather than 10:00, which can likely be accommodated now upon request, if bookings allow. All-in-all a great stay.

Wedding at Old Edwards

The house was a perfect size for 5 adults attending a wedding at Old Edwards. It was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend trip. It's in a great location, close to downtown and the venue space. Our host checked in with us on the first day to make sure we were doing good and had everything we needed. We'll definitely save this home for future stays!

Girls Birthday Getaway

We had a wonderful time in Highlands and the property was perfect for us. There were four and each of us had a bedroom. The proximity to town is excellent, the neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and the property is in excellent condition, nicely decorated. Our host, Caroline, was very responsive to a couple of questions. We hope to be back and I highly recommend this property!

Great little house close to everything

We had a great time in Highlands in this nice/quaint home just 5 minutes from Main St. This house is very comfy and cozy with 2 indoor fireplaces and a fire pit outside. 2 bedrooms on the main upper floor and 2 bedrooms on the lower floor. Nice updated decor and nice outdoor porch furniture. Kitchen is updated and has everything you need, although a little small for a large group but perfect for 4-6 people. Caroline, the host is great to work with and very communicative. She checked in on day one to make sure everything was ok. We would highly recommend this home when visiting beautiful Highlands. Also highly recommend The Stubborn Bull and Four65 Woodfire Bistro + Bar for great food and atmosphere.

Great location but a few caveats

The house is well taken care of, but the driveway is really a challenge. We were told it would hold two or three cars, but the space is very small and the cars have to be packed in very tightly The driveway is on a steep hill so backing out is challenging. It says on the info the house sleeps eight, but I can not see how that would work at all. There were 6 of us and we had to sit on stools around the kitchen island in order to eat together. There is a larger table outside on the large patio but the patio is not covered or screened in so if the weather isn’t good, you can’t use it.When everyone is sitting around the island in the kitchen, you can not move around the kitchen at all and it definitely wouldn’t seat 8 people. The patio downstairs is reached by going down a flight of steep stairs.We ate outside one night but carrying all the food from the kitchen down the stairs etc was a chore. The house lacks a large area for a group of people to gather. The couch upstairs seats six if you squeeze in and the couch downstairs in the den is even smaller. You can pull in some extra chairs but they are not comfortable. I booked the house for 10 days. We we ran out of dishwasher pods, coffee, paper towels, bath soap and the house had no pantry with supplies. If you book this house, you will need to bring a lot of your own supplies. The host said she only provides a starter pack of essentials. The beds were comfortable but seemed small.

Highlands hide-a-way

An excellent property with plenty of room and an awesome layout. We enjoyed sitting around the kitchen island having dinner. Having morning coffee on the lower deck as the sun came up was very relaxing. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a great place to stay that is also close to restaurants and shopping in Highlands.

A sweet respite!

This was the second year my 3 friends and I have rented this lovely home and we had a wonderful time. We mostly shopped and had delicious meals out. We now range in age from 80-85, so we feel so grateful to have been able, once again, to have this get away respite and fun time together because we don’t know what another year will present to ourselves. Caroline was a very gracious host and we knew that we could contact her should we have any questions.

As advertised

This is one of the nicer VRBO properties I’ve stayed in. The house is high-end with plenty of space for everybody. Multiple balconies are really nice. I really appreciated some of the small details that make staying in rented houses much easier- some kitchen consumables available like coffee filters and olive oil, bathroom items like small soaps/shampoo etc. I struggled getting into the unit bc I didn’t read the directions fully, but host was available immediately to tell me what I should have read before. There are checkout instructions regarding laundry and trash placement that we followed as best as possible for our 3am departure (unable to locate bear bin in dark). There is also mandatory insurance in addition to a damage deposit which almost stopped me from booking- both seems excessive. Overall this unit is exactly as advertised and I wouldn’t look elsewhere if I was visiting Highlands again.
