Great multi-generational family visit to Highlands. House is well laid out with outstanding dining / living room combo with vaulted ceilings and a grand fireplace. Very generous sized elevated back porch off the family room with terrific view out the back to the lake and waterfowl. Home is well equipped and even has two laundry rooms for larger groups. Plenty of off street parking.Best of all, the location is as advertised with superb access to all the downtown shops and restaurants. The only improvement would be the addition of an outdoor fireplace/fire pit.

Home was absolutely beautiful and perfectly situated in walking distance to most places. Owners were very responsive when we reached out. A few extra amenities (small toiletries and a few spices (salt & pepper, etc) would have helped our grocery runs however overall fantastic home and visit!!! Loved the church bells, visits from the nearby bears, waterfalls and creating wonderful memories.

Incredibly tasteful home in ideal location

We stayed at this property for the Highlands F&W festival and couldn’t have asked for a better house. I have rented many homes before so I have a baseline of what to expect, this house exceeded! Great mix of antiques and quality pieces, not cheap rental furniture. The layout is ideal especially with multiple couples as each group can have their own “wing”. We loved turning the fire on each morning and making breakfast while staring out at the pond. Location can’t be beat if you want the walk to town option without being IN town. Right by mountain fresh grocery which made for easy coffee runs. Also super close to the botanical garden and nature center which we did with kids. Plenty of towels and hangers too which is always so nice when traveling. We had one issue where I needed to contact Laird and she was not only extremely responsive but also considerate and helpful! We look forward to renting again!
