High Praise for the High House!
Absolutely wonderful experience all around. The home is beautiful and so well appointed with everything to make our stay comfortable and perfect. Lee was the most responsive property manager we've ever dealt with and my family and I had a relaxing and amazing time at the High House.

Top Notch Experience!
We've been vacationing in the Highlands area every winter for the last 6 years. This was by far our best experience yet. The house was very comfortable and well maintained. The drive getting to the house wasn't treacherous. The property manager was very accommodating and made the whole process incredibly easy. We highly recommend The High House!

Fall Get-Away
This is a beautiful home with a gorgeous view off the deck. It was immaculately clean, and the host responded to our questions and requests very quickly. However, the fireplace on the deck didn't work, and since that was one of the main reasons we chose this place, we were very disappointed. The host told us it had been acting up and that he would see if it could be put on the schedule to be fixed, but it wasn't fixed while we were there (for 3 nights). As a result, we didn't use the beautiful deck as much as we would have liked to. It seems to us that the fireplace should have been in working order before we arrived. Check out was very easy, we just had to take the trash out and close the door behind us. As I said, it is a beautiful home, and the manager was very quickly responsive.

Gorgeous mountain house!!
This was our second time enjoying the High House - another amazing experience!! We spent a lot of our time on the porch beside the fireplace overlooking the gorgeous view (the porch even has heaters). This luxury mountain house was designed for the ultimate relaxation experience. The kitchen is also fully equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable too. Lee is the best host and always answered all questions promptly. We can’t wait for our third trip!

About the host

Hosted by Lee

Host profile image
Originally from the southeast, I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling to 60+ countries around the world and have lived in 6 different (and amazing) cities across North America - it’s been awesome and I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many unique and amazing people.

When I migrated back to my home state of Georgia, it was my dream to be able to design and develop unique and elevated Airbnb experiences around the southeast and share them with guests from all over the world - really showing them what “southern hospitality” was all about and bringing smiles to their faces.

When I’m not taking care of my amazing guests, I love doing things like boating, wakeboarding, hiking, kayaking, SUP’ing, working out, cooking, taking in amazing vistas, entertaining family and friends, reading, and traveling :)

The best part about being a host for me is meeting new people and helping ensure they have the best trip possible and get a taste of the “High” life!
