Floralia is an absolute gem!!
This home is absolutely stunning. We rented Floralia for our daughter's wedding in Highlands and our family of 7 plus a nanny were so incredibly comfortable. The home has it all- comfortable and private bedrooms each with its own bath, fully outfitted kitchen with top of the line everything. We walked to town several times and it's a 10 minute walk down a beautiful trail . Holly the house manager was so easy to contact and super responsive. Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend this home to anyone, we cannot wait to stay there again.

Great Property
Not only was the house beautiful, it was well stocked and provided plenty of room for our group as well. The property itself was gorgeous, backing up to walking trails and providing an easy walk to town.

Best stay!
This was by far the BEST VRBO property I’ve ever stayed in. The house was clean, well stocked, and the photos did not do the listing justice. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, ample parking space. Outdoor spaces were BEAUTIFUL, we wish we got to use them more!

Highlands getaway
We loved our stay at Floralia! It is an amazing location to town, hikes, and the botanical center. The house was amazing for a large group! We loved the back porch with the fireplace- so cozy. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with everything you could possibly need. We also loved the property surrounding the house so much- the bridges, pond, and treehouse were a hit for the kids. We hope to be back!
