House is in a great walkable location. It was clean, safe, roomy and beautiful. They took great care of us from the beds to the supplied towels and everything else we needed. The back porch was a lot of fun in the evening. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Communication from the rental agency was excellent from check in through check out. The added document describing things to do and restaurants was great as well. I would strongly recommend this location.

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!

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.

Spacious, beautifully appointed home within walking distance to town.

The home was so nice, and a quick ten minute walk to town. I am not sure when it was built but felt brand new, it was so clean and not cluttered at all. It has a very spacious kitchen and while we were not there for meals, it had everything you could possibly need. I would definitely rent again.

Perfection

The house and grounds really are more beautiful than the pictures. The furnishings were to our taste, the master bed so comfortable. Short and easy walk to downtown, access to hiking and shops. Very quiet neighborhood. We felt right at home. We will definitely stay here when we return to Highlands.
