The house and grounds were in excellent condition. Yard crew showed up and cleaned off walkways while we were there. Kitchen was fully stocked and had all the utensils you would need. . Rooms and beds were comfort able. The back porch was a good spot to hang out and just chill.

Fabulous House in Highlands

This house was amazing! Six of us stayed there, and there was plenty of room. Everything was so nice. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the location was perfect! Since it is the week before Christmas, we thought about bringing a small tree to make the stay more festive. We were thrilled to see the huge tree they had decorated and lit up for us when we checked in. I highly recommend this property!

Christmas in the Highlands

Sky Light was as advertised and more...was more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Every one in our party (ages 18-83) had a wonderful time and thought the house and location was great. Was the perfect size for our party of 9. Knew it was going to be special when we arrived and there was a Christmas tree to put our presents under!

Can I have this house….?!

This home is amazing. Spacious, beautiful, clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully decorated… we did not want to leave! Kadie was responsive and accessible the entire trip. A few friends have already started planning to book the house again because of how well enjoyed it was. Thanks so much!

Sunset views in Highlands

We had a lovely stay with our daughter and son in law and two small grandchildren. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable, close to town and has a lovely sunset view out of the living room window. One observation is that we would have liked blackout curtains or blinds in the two hall bedrooms that also have west facing windows.

60th Birthday Gathering of Girlfriends

Sky Light was a beautiful house with wonderful views of the sunset. The house is much prettier than the pictures. Great gathering space for our group of 7. Screened in porch was great for morning coffee and games. Firepit area is down about 40 steps but is like stepping into a woodland fairyland! Wonderful house to celebrate the year of our 60th birthdays! Hope to return soon. Highly recommend!!

Perfect house for group of adults

We were a group of 7 women: MIL, SILs and sisters. Each of us were able to have our own bed (!!) and the layout of the house enabled both group gathering and space for quiet getaway. Can't say enough about how awesome the house was. Large kitchen and family room, nice porch, beautiful views, convenient location, short drive to trail heads, downtown shopping and dining. All agreed we'd rent it again. Kadie responded very quickly to all our questions both post- and during visit.

Fantastic Property!

This house was perfect for our family vacation. The bunk room and loft (with an additional 2 twin beds) provided enough space for a family with children to spread out. The weather was rainy, so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit, but it was lovely. The back porch has a swing that was fun to curl up on and read. The queen room is tucked away with its own bathroom, and that gave one person in our party a bit more privacy, which was great! Plenty of kitchen cookware, cleaning supplies, extra toilet paper, and paper towels - we didn’t want for anything! It was perfect for us and communication with the host was great - we’ll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our time at Sky Light! The location was great and close to everything, and the house itself was better than what we were expecting. As someone traveling with small children who needed naps, we so appreciated the blackout curtains in the primary. Would happily stay here again!
