The pine‑scented air greets you as you step onto the expansive deck, where the forest stretches out like a green sea and the stone fireplace flickers with a warm glow. Sunlight filters through the canopy, spilling onto the open‑plan living areas and inviting you to unwind with a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the Nespresso machine. After a day of hiking to nearby waterfalls, you’ll slip into the plush bedding and let the quiet of the woods lull you to sleep.

Stag Ridge was an incredibly well decorated and maintained house. The decor, furnishings, kitchen including appliances (La Cornue, Viking, etc), etc etc - everything - were first rate. Clearly the house is loved by the owner. Minutes to town. Peaceful setting. The host - Hotel Homes - was professional, responsive, informative and top notch. We had a great experience and would stay again.

Highlands

The home is lovely and we enjoyed our visit to the Highlands area. Wifi information should be sent with the entrance code email. There was a roller off one of the dining room chairs and antlers off a skull plaque in bedroom when we arrived. Recommend covers over downstairs bathroom and bedroom windows and handrails on steps inside and outside for older people who rent. Hot water knob needs repair in small bathroom upstairs. Thank you fror a lovely stay.
