The house was large enough for us 5 girls for the weekend. Darcy was very helpful and communicative. I had a bit of trouble locking the keypad, but I wasn't too familiar with them and just had to keep the button down to lock it. The home was situated in a nice part of Highlands and had a bright sunroom and 3 large bedrooms. Plenty of kitchenware. The location was a very easy walk to Main Street. Mountain Fresh grocery was very close, too, and a good spot to get a dinner to go. We didn't use the fireplace or all the TVs available, but all the rooms were comfortable. It was a nice area to take our dog for a walk. We walked up to Sunset Rock, which is a great short hike to a beautiful spot on a mountain outcrop.

Summer in Highlands

We have stayed in Highlands for the past five years, renting a different place each time. Darcy's place was perfect for us as we like to be able to walk to town and needed space for visiting family members. It was exceptionally comfortable and well located, with everything we could need. Darcy's communication was excellent and she was kind and accommodating. We highly recommend her place!
