We use vrbo often and we have NEVER stayed in a house that was this nice. If we owned a house in Highlands, it would be this house! The furnishings were so much nicer than most rentals! The location was perfect! Thank you for our perfect mountain get away.

Spacious, beautifully appointed home within walking distance to town.

The home was so nice, and a quick ten minute walk to town. I am not sure when it was built but felt brand new, it was so clean and not cluttered at all. It has a very spacious kitchen and while we were not there for meals, it had everything you could possibly need. I would definitely rent again.
