Better than EVER EXPECTED

We use vrbo often and we have NEVER stayed in a house that was this nice. If we owned a house in Highlands, it would be this house! The furnishings were so much nicer than most rentals! The location was perfect! Thank you for our perfect mountain get away.

Incredible house close to town

We totally enjoyed this house. It was well equipped and very easy to live in. It appears to be relatively new. The back porch overlooks a lovely back yard; we spent many hours reading there on comfortable porch furniture. Galax does a superb job managing the home.

Highlands Haven

A few friends enjoyed a short reunion in the Highlands. This is a beautiful home within an enjoyable walk to town and various hiking trails. The property manager even accommodated a date change due to a death in one of our families, which goes to show you the quality of people whose home this is! It shines through. Thank you!
