This is our third time staying in the highlands and each time we have stayed here. It is an amazing location with plenty of privacy, yet close to fantastic dinner spots. Garrard is a very communicative host. Already looking forward to our next stay!

Lovely mountain home. We so enjoyed the hot tub.., very clean. The beds were all comfy, and the updated kitchen was spacious. Lightning could use improvements in all rooms. We were very pleased with the close proximity to activities we were interested in.

Perfect home for our needs

Everything was clean and comfortable. Hot tub was very nice. Great location between Highlands and Cashiers. Just far enough off the main road to make it quiet and peaceful, but not too far to feel out of the way.

Tree House Deck

Minutes from town, close to Chashier, access to multiple hiking paths with gorgeous views. The house is simple but clean and comfortable. Large deck wraps around half of house and you feel like you are in a tree house. Enjoyed end of day soak in the hot tub.

Great Highlands VRBO!

We enjoyed our stay at Garrard's property in Highlands. The location was excellent. We loved the porch overlooking the woods; unfortunately we didn't have lots of time to spend there. The house could use a little refurbishing, but it had everything we needed!

Exactly what I wanted in Highlands, NC. Great price. Dog friendly. 2 bedrooms. Wood burning (or gas starter) fireplace. Great WI-FI. Garrard was quick to reply to my questions and had locals to help with anything we needed. Very nice upstairs bedroom & bathroom. Very clean. The den is narrow, but 2 sofas and chairs were very comfortable. We had no trouble parking; we were the only people in this group of 5 homes. The deck would have been very nice to enjoy, (You can hear the nearby creek), but the weather was cold while we were there. An easy eight minute drive into downtown Highlands or a little further to Cashiers. Grateful for a very affordable long weekend in this beautiful area and for a very accommodating host.

Peacful and Quiet Mountain Retreat!

Loved this vacation rental that we've enjoyed for two summers in a row! The back and side porch overlooks the woods and you can hear a distant stream. Very peacful. Hottub is a plus. Needed to communicate something with the owner and received an immediate response. Parking on the side is tight, but manageable. Will stay again!

Cozy and nice

The house is cozy, warm and nice. Very comfortable for the two of us. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom closest to the hot tub which made our weekend. Check-in couldn't be any easier. If I had to pick on something, it would be the tight parking for a full size truck. I would stay again the next time we visit Highlands.

Everything we needed for a long weekend!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s not a far drive from town and was convenient to my son who only lives a mile down the road. Had a little confusion on check out time since VRBO had two different times and refrigerator had conflicting info as well. The owner was super nice and understanding, but make sure you confirm if unsure. The property is a little quirky, and smaller living room area may not have worked for a longer stay, but very clean and kitchen was fully stocked to have a nice family meal together.

Fantastically located and well-equipped

We came to Highlands for a wedding weekend. Luckily we found this great place a short drive out of town and about 1.5 mi from the venue. We loved the expansive deck and hot tub as well as the generally serene setting. Details we loved — comfy beds, well functioning equipment (washer/dryer, keypad, ice maker, windows that easily open and close), and a kitchen stocked with things you want on hand like coffee filters, salt, pots and pans, Etc. Just note the house is quite close to others so you’ll hear your neighbors and perhaps some traffic from the nearby road. We’d all stay again happily

Great for a relaxing long weekend

We booked this property as a last-minute trip for a long weekend. It was clean and comfortable, and the location was great - just a short drive into town. However, the listing should make it clear that it is in a "cluster" of 6 cottages so that if you are really looking privacy, this might not be for you. For our purposes, this was not an issue because only a few of the cottages were occupied but just keep it in mind. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend.

The location is great.

This was my 3rd stay at this property. I really love the house and location. It could use some minor things updated,Carpet is past it's prime. Shower curtains could use an upgrade. Ceiling fan in the living space has no chain to turn the speed down or off. The washer and dryer are nice, the lint screens on both dryers are in need of replacement. I am interested in staying again next year. Hopefully these things can be addressed. It is such a peaceful place.

Excellent last minute get-away!

Excellent stay! My girlfriend and I took a last minute trip to Highlands NC for her birthday and was glad to see this location was available. Easy to get to and only about a 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands. Very clean and alot of deck space where you can hear the waterfalls of a nearby creek. House is well furnished. We didn't know what to do with the dirty towels, so we placed them in the washer; hope that was ok. There are five or so other houses in this small community, but all have their own privacy. We were the only ones staying the weekend we were there. Loved the house. An excellent choice if you're looking for something close to the Highlands without being right in the middle of it all.
