Great Place

Great location for a short drive to town. The house was decorated beautifully with great detail. You truly feel welcomed when you open the door. The large deck was great as well as the view. One thing I noticed in particular, on the back deck is super quiet and peaceful. The king sized bed was super comfortable, but to be honest I would sleep outside for another loaf of that homemade pumpkin bread. What a wonderful relaxing place!

Wonderful property, fabulous host

We stayed for four nights with our two young children. The property was clean, comfortable and so relaxing. There were lots of games at the house to which we enjoyed playing in the mornings and evenings on the porch. It was so nice to have the option to use the old Edwards club. Cathy was the most wonderful host you could ask for and was super responsive and accommodating to all our questions and requests (and she was out of the country!) We highly recommend staying here!

The porch is huge, the rental is very spacious and the host were very responsive. The freshly baked delicious pumpkin spice bread was such a nice welcome treat as well.

Mountains, Golf, Christmas Tree, Waterfalls

Had an amazing time with the family on our trip to get a Christmas tree. Played golf at Old Edwards on my birthday, which is an incredible country club. 5 stars. It’s a private club that the owners can provide you access. Toys everywhere for my 3 yr old. Cribs and a high chair for our baby. Antiques and artwork everywhere. Nothing from ikea in this cozy place. All the small details are first class. Comfy bed, great view. Cathy bakes you a fresh loaf of pumpkin bread that is unreal. She is very responsive with all request. Incredible rental, so cozy, so perfect!

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

This place is charming, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations from the listing! And that's not the best part... Jim and Cathy were warm, inviting and super accommodating. They were helpful in setting up reservations, suggestions and were available throughout our stay while being very respectful of our privacy. It was like having a concierge at one of the nicest resorts! Cathy welcomed us with homemade bread that was delicious. Meeting them was an added bonus to our stay. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Highlands Getaway

Our stay at this property truly exceeded all of our expectations. The bottom level of the property, where you stay, is so beautiful and has so many nice touches. We loved sitting on the porch first thing in the morning and listening to all the sounds of nature while drinking our coffee. We also loved sitting on the porch in the afternoon with a glass of wine and taking in the scenery, squirrel activity in the surrounding trees, and even saw some deer grazing down in the brush below. It was the perfect Fall retreat and was really nice to be up on the mountain. It was easy to get down into town, and all of the shopping and restaurants in Highlands are so perfect. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and can’t say enough good things about what a wonderful host Cathy is. As other reviews mentioned, you’ll love the pumpkin bread, and you really have everything you need here. It’s a luxurious mountain retreat for anyone looking to escape and appreciate nature. We will be back as soon as possible!

The property was exceptional! A hidden gem in the Blue ridge Mountains. The property had all the amenities you could need for a mountain getaway. The property is spacious, has incredible views and all the comforts of a cozy home. I will only comment on the lack of a kitchen. While there is a microwave, sick and a coffee maker, there is no stove so if you’re planning to stay in the mountains and not go into town to dine, this may be a challenge. The property owner was so great at communicating any information about the property and left a mostly lovely pumpkin bread for us to enjoy when we arrived. The deck has exceptional views of the mountains a most welcoming outdoor space. The property is part of a shared home although you have a private entrance and deck. I will most definitely love to visit here again!

Overall - Great Spot!

Pros vs Cons Pros: 1. Proximity to Highlands Town and most trail heads 2. Very Clean & Relaxing Home 3. Secluded (End of Road) 4. Owner very responsive & accommodating Cons: 1. 15 Mins Windy Switchback roadway into Highlands Downtown 2. NO Full Kitchen - Basically a Small Refrigerator & Microwave in a modified Laundry room. 3. Master King Bed located in larger living area.... not in its own room. Overall Great Rental, but the VRBO advertisement seems to leave out some few key points on available amenities. Knowing what I know now, I would still definitely rent again.

Beauty & Comfort

We were thrilled with our stay at the Four Seasons Highlands property. Cathy, the owner, was incredibly accommodating and welcoming--leaving fresh pumpkin bread for our arrival. I'm a bit of a bed snob, and the beds / linens were fabulous. That makes a difference in my experience always. The property was also filled with wonderful art and found objects. I would love to stay here again.
