Song Sparrow was a lovely place for a week in the mountains. The house had everything we needed for our daughter and two young grandchildren. Great living area to hang out with porches for morning coffee and play time for the kids. Super clean and perfect showers and beds to lay our heads! We used every bit of the house and the kids even played in the front yard with their mommy. A 10 minute ride to town and to the other areas of Highlands where we were visiting friends! AC worked well as it was a hot week. Excellent choice for us!

We have been coming to Highlands for almost a decade, and this was by far one of our favorite rentals. It such a great location, close enough to neighbors where you felt secure but nice and secluded at the same time while still being close to town. The house itself had everything we needed to cook and entertain our two kids, including a crib for our two-year-old, which was such an amazing surprise. We absolutely loved all the attention to detail within the house and how clean and well organized everything was when we got there. 10/10 would recommend.
