Wonderful place to stay in the Highlands!

Couldn't recommend this property enough! Spacious, clean, nice, close to downtown - everything you could ask for in a VRBO.

We have been coming to Highlands for almost a decade, and this was by far one of our favorite rentals. It such a great location, close enough to neighbors where you felt secure but nice and secluded at the same time while still being close to town. The house itself had everything we needed to cook and entertain our two kids, including a crib for our two-year-old, which was such an amazing surprise. We absolutely loved all the attention to detail within the house and how clean and well organized everything was when we got there. 10/10 would recommend.
