Great views, very nice owners.
Really a nice house with great views and the owner's were great as well. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was convenient to Highlands, but not in the center of the town.

Hello All-
Jon is absolutely correct. We are not in the center of town, rather 9/10ths of a mile which is easily walkable. Topologically, you cannot be in the center of town and have a great view. We really enjoyed Jon and his wife, we hope they visit again.
Thanks-Carl
We loved our stay. We caught the leaves at their peak, and we had an excellent view from the deck. The home was well stocked and just a short drive into the town.
Top of the Knob is the perfect location to be close to town yet feel far away. This home is well appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the hummingbirds’ daily visits to the porch. A perfect, relaxing stay!
This home was perfect for my wife and I to celebrate our 45th anniversary. We were greeted by Ann with a gift and felt like we were at home nestled on the Mountain with beautiful views. Conveniently located ,well equipped and clean this home was perfect for some great memories.
We enjoyed our stay‼️The house could use some updates for the price. But the view and proximity to town may justify the price. We really enjoyed our stay‼️

They are lovely guests and we dearly hope to see them again.
The stay was amazing! House is beautiful, comfortable, convenient to town. Owner went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of - we actually got married on the beautiful deck with amazing views of the mountains.
Will definitely return and spend more time there. You couldn't find a better place with care, comfort and beauty.
We loved this property!! It had a fabulous view, clean, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need. The host is so kind! We arrived to a basket of yummy snacks, homemade blueberry bread and bottle of wine. There were refreshments in the fridge as well as cream for our coffee. Location was ideal and in the heart of Highlands. We loved our stay and would love to stay there again!
We built so many special memories while spending 4 days here. The host provides everything you need for a great experience. The views and sunrises are spectacular. We look forward to coming back. Thanks for your hospitality. John and Sandy
Lovely home, fabulous view, could not have been better! Photos are beautiful but even more impressive in person. Thank you Anne / Carl for the birthday wishes and goodies! We hope to come back soon.
In the Top of the Knob neighborhood, this beautiful home is the best of all worlds - high enough for unobstructed views of mountains as far as you can see, secluded enough to be completely out of the hustle & bustle, but just a quick 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands!
Anne is the perfect host! We were greeted with a welcome basket of wine, snacks & a delicious coffee cake. She stocked the fridge with beverages, butter & cream for coffee. A wide variety of teas and coffee were also provided. Anne gives recommendations for hikes, restaurants & more. We will definitely be back!
You search and search on VRBO for just the right place. You stare at the pictures repeatedly, study the location on the map, and wonder if the view is really that good. You can stop now. This home really is that good. The location is amazing and the view is sublime. Perfect for 2 couples. To get a porch and view like this so close to town is very difficult. We immediately signed up for next year. That should tell you everything.
