About this property

TWO BLOCKS FROM MAIN ST.! 5 BDRM/ 3 BA, WiFi. HD.

Simplicity. For over eighteen years we have been visiting Highlands and honing our definition of the perfect weekend retreat- A simple place with plenty of room for friends and a location close enough to town so the car can stay parked as long as we want. This is the house that made this dream come true. With a fun rustic-modern vibe, the house is a short stroll from Main Street and The Old Edwards Inn and has room for up to ten. Three bedrooms upstairs and a separate sitting area, two bedrooms and a games nook downstairs makes the house ideal for large groups or two families to share. It has an open layout and is ideal for girl's weekends, guy's weekends, dogs-playing poker weekends... It also has a two car garage and a ping pong table. This is the place for your Highlands adventures. Also, if you have a larger family gathering, wedding guests or a big friends' weekend, this house backs up to another house of ours with a convenient walking path in between: VRBO.com/473976

Walk to world class shopping, a day at the spa, the ice cream shops, great restaurants, or take a short trip to countless outdoor adventures. The wifi will let you stay plugged in, the 48' HD flat screen will let you catch the game, and a brand new deck and grill out back invite you to enjoy the beautiful climate at 4118 feet above sea level. Walk to Harris Lake, where you can feed the ducks (or geese, we don't discriminate) or do a little fishing.

This happy house is comfortable, casual and smack in the middle of all the Highlands action...everything you need for a wonderful escape to the mountains!

We were in town for a wedding and this home was perfect for our group. We were close enough to walk to all the restaurants and the cute little downtown area and we were also very close to the wedding venue. The home itself was adorable. Lots of space and the beds were very comfortable. Everything we were looking for for our stay :)

Home base during family wedding

We used the house as Home Base during a family wedding in Highlands and it was perfect.It is very convenient and just a short walk to Main Street and is located in a great neighborhood . The back deck is spacious so evenings were spent out there, a great spot for wine and conversation.Would definitely stay here again.

Great for a large family!

We stayed here for a long weekend for a wedding and it was perfect! so much room for our whole family of 7 with two living areas - great because a couple of us had to do some work on Friday and needed quiet away from the rest of us. We will definitely stay here again!

Clean & comfortable with a great location

The house is outstanding, light and bright inside with comfortable seating and sleeping arrangements. Linens were on all of the beds and the owners left great insight on the local attractions, restaurants and markets which we found fantastic. The location is very convenient and within walking distance to everything town has to offer.

We rented this for a wedding in Highlands and could not have been more pleased. The groom got ready here with friends on the big day and it was the perfect spot. The hosts provided everything we needed and it was a very well kept home.
