An additional bedroom on the lower level includes a double bed and has an adjacent full bath. Log into your Netflix or Amazon Prime account and enjoy a movie night in front of the fire in the lower level living area or cozy up by the fire pit off of the deck on cool evenings.

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.

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!

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.

Great Weekend Stay!

We had a great stay for the weekend, plenty of room, terrific views and walkable to town via Oak Lane Trail. Owner very communicative and plenty of room for the 6 of us. Can’t wait to come back, so much more to do and see and sitting on the back porch was idyllic.

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.
