Other things you need to know:
*This home is being offered as a vacation rental and (by Town of Highlands mandate) can not be rented as a STR (short-term rental) All rentals of 30 nights or more are welcome. We realize everyone isn't able to stay for the whole 30-day stay.
* This home does not have air conditioning. The era in which Easemont was built hardly ever had A/C, and the owners of this home have never felt the need for artificial air. There is good cross-ventilation with open windows, and there are ceiling fans, which help on the warmest days. Highlands is known for being ‘air-conditioned by nature.’
*This home has WiFi- instructions for use in the home. The 65” Roku-based/ smart TV in the lower family room is easy to use, but there are instructions in the home if you need help and have an abundance of other information about how to access the channels you want to see.
* The washer/dryer is in a large utility/storage room on the lower level.
* There are two decks; the upper deck has comfortable seating for dining and conversation, and the lower deck has closer-quartered comfortable seating and a hammock. Either one can be your oasis, and having a choice makes it nice, no matter what the weather.
* The main-level deck has a Kamado/Egg-style grill that you can use if you’re familiar with those types of grills.
* Highlands is not Disney. There are many beautiful sights to see, waterfalls to see, trails to hike, etc. but our naturalized area isn’t without danger. Please plan ahead and be aware of your surroundings and watch your footing when exploring.
*The area in which this home is located, The Historic District of Satulah Mountain is a residential area. This home is in a private area, but there are neighbors nearby. It is expected that all guests will treat this home, the area and Highlands with respect. The access roads are narrow and are shared with hikers. You may see a bear or other wildlife, too! In Highlands, especially in private areas, you may not feel the need to lock your car doors or even the door to your home because of low crime rates, but we encourage you to do so because the bears in Highlands have learned to open doors. We are in their neighborhood.
