Great location

This house in in a great location and is comfortable and clean. I took our daughter and grandchildren to Highlands, and we thoroughly enjoyed the house. While the house is on a main road going in to Highlands, it is buffered by some trees which make it feel woodsy and safe. It was a quick trip to town. The interactive Bascom Trail that is behind the house is amazing.... even for grownups.

Fantastic house!!

What a great house! Beautifully renovated and impeccably decorated. It had all the amenities we needed and more that I would never expect (Olay body wash in all the showers!). The proximity to downtown Highlands is great. The only drawback is that there is a small stretch between the house and the Bascom center that isn’t really “walkable” (no sidewalk and narrow road edge). So we did have to drive to town each time. But otherwise absolutely perfect and we would certainly love to stay again!

Family Christmas

We had a very nice stay over Christmas, 2022. The house was comfortable and well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The location is so convenient, parking was great. A member of our group became seriously I’ll on the last day of our stay. The host was most gracious in extending our stay by a day, and even had one of his employees call to check on him. The weather was so cold that we didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful screened in porch, so we hope that we can come again in warm weather !

This Highlands home is a 5 star stay!

After a bit of a rocky start(the cleaners forgot to clean the house), Derrick & his management company (Krissy), truly went beyond the call to make up for the mishap. Accidents happen. The cleaners were fabulous, kind & super apologetic. They did their thing while we stayed on the porch & all was well. I wouldn't change a thing, as this home is truly the bomb. It is so warm and comfortable. The beds are big and oh so comfy. The hot tub was awesome & seemed to be brand new with the perfect smell of chlorine. the home was so convenient to town(we didn't walk, as we have dogs and there were no sidewalks), but I guess it was close enough to walk. We drove the 3-5 minute drive and that was easier for us. The pantry was loaded with items that we forgot(syrup, olive oil, too many items to list!) You do need to bring your own coffee/cream/butter/shampoo/conditioner). Bottom line, I cannot recommend this place enough!

We are lovers of the Highlands area and have started a business with a few VRBO properties in the area. We are in the construction industry in the Atlanta area as well working for Delta Airlines.

Why they chose this property

The close proximity to downtown was a strong consideration but over all the property had tons of protentional and with the remodel complete it really is all we thought it could be. Great property with a wonderful setting that you can walk to everything Highlands has to offer.

What makes this property unique

In town, great view, waterfall in backyard, and walkable to everything Highlands has to offer.
