Review 6/22 "This place was heaven on earth!"

***** Clean, Roomy, Comfortable, Very Relaxing--"Our family makes at least 2 trips per year to the mountains. This has been the nicest place we have stayed in thus far. It's so nice to stay in a home where the furniture and bedding aren't worn out. This place was heaven on earth! This will be our go-to place in the future! Randy S., Montgomery, AL

Review 4/1/21 from Maggie R

"We had a wonderful stay at Twig and Nest! The house is both cozy and expansive, with
5 comfortable bedrooms, plus an extra office area, great living room, and a wonderful porch with both covered and open spaces. Very conveniently located close to downtown Highlands. The kitchen was VERY well stocked with anything you could want to cook any meal. More than enough linens, paper products, etc. Owner was very kind and helpful. We were there with 6 adults and 2 little kids and were all comfortable. It felt very luxurious."

"No words can describe how lovely your home is. I felt so at home. I really enjoyed my time there and want to come back next summer for a longer stay." -Jane O.-St. Simons

"What's not to like? This mountain home has it all." James B, Mobile, 10/24/19



Just across the road from the Highlands Falls Country Club is the beautiful little neighborhood of Rolling Woods. Twig and Nest is the crown jewel of the neighborhood, in my view, with its 1000 sf of covered porches and decks, surrounded by woods and gardens facing Little Bear Pen Mountain. My guests' favorite spot to relax is in front of the fireplace on the covered back porch. The porch and deck can comfortably seat 18-20 people. The gunshot view of Little Bear Pen Mountain is a wonderful spot to watch the sunset over the mountain. In addition to the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, there is a fire pit in the back yard for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows under the moonlight--a place for the youngsters and young-at-heart!

Another favorite gathering spot is the two-story Great Room (17'' x 27") containing yet another beautiful stone fireplace, a row of clerestory windows, antler chandelier, wide plank wood floors and seating for 8-10. The Great Room opens up to a sunlit well-equipped chef's kitchen with skylit island, custom cabinetry, farmer's sink, stone countertops, stainless appliances, wine rack, TV, butler's pantry and breakfast bar.

The private dining room seats 8 people comfortably and opens to the Great Room and Kitchen.

Of the five bedrooms, three are private suites with their own bathrooms. There are many places you can retire to inside or out in order rest, watch TV or read a book.

The private, wooded setting of the house affords lovely views from all directions. From the Great Room sofa you can see the terraced gardens in the front and the porches/decks/ mountain at the back of the house. Twig and Nest is great for entertaining with over 1000 sf of porches, decks, and patios comfortably furnished with sofas, swings, and hammocks for ultimate relaxation.

One of the comments I hear frequently by my guests is how spacious the house is. There are places for guests to get away from the group from time to time. The fact that the property has nearly 5,000 sf of indoor and outdoor spaces makes it a wonderful bargain, if comfort and ease are important to your group. If you are just looking for a place to crash and don't mind feeling like sardines in a can, then there are less expensive alternatives, of course, but per square foot, the cost to stay at Twig and Nest is an excellent value.

Wedding
The property is so beautiful and charming. The host did an excellent job of responding with any question I had. The back patio is like a tree house, incredibly lovely and relaxing. Although we were extremely busy with my daughter’s wedding we felt lucky to have such a nice place to call ‘home’ for a few days.

Highland Hills Home
We visited over Christmas and the home was cheerfully decorated with an inviting gourmet kitchen for fun holiday cooking. We are return guests and hope for many more visits in the near future. The area is majestic and the home well appointed. Would love to see all the flowers in the Spring!

House with everything
This home is in an excellent location and has everything that anyone could possibly need for a fun mountain visit. Fully equipped kitchen. Games and puzzles in the game room. The only thing missing were grab rails in the showers and that is a needed addition,

Lovely home with lots of room for family and friends
We spent 5 nights at Twig and Nest and had a great time. Close enough to downtown Highlands but secluded enough to feel like you’ve got privacy. The covered porch with fireplace was our favorite spot for mornings and evenings. The kitchen was well- equipped and the property manager even dropped by new knives because he knew we liked to cook. Overall, a very nice vacation and vacation home. The owner was very responsive and helpful too! We will definitely return!

Loved the back porch and fire place and also that fire wood was furnished. Location was good. House was a little dark, not enough lighting. Basement was a little musty smelling.

Big, Beautiful Cabin in the Woods!
Charming home, big enough for our family of six with an outside porch that's just plain gorgeous! About two miles from town, tucked away in the woods, this cozy cabin provided a wonderful respite while we were in HIghlands for a family wedding! Everything we needed was there, the host is fantastic and provided notes for us on places to visit, shop and eat! Easy check in and check out. Would definitely want to stay there again if a Highland's visit was in our future. Thank you, Barbara!
