What is The 100 Collection™?
The 100 Collection™ imprint on a property indicates it is part of a collaborative effort to set the gold standard for vacation rentals. The professionals caring for these properties must meet the highest hospitality standards. Additionally, properties in this collection must pass specific quality, safety, and cleanliness inspections. Only locally owned and/or operated vacation rental brands are invited to be considered for this stamp of approval, which is issued by a trusted peer-to-peer collective of leading industry owners and managers.
Main Level:
Contemporary 4BR/4BA home on 5.88 private acres near downtown Highlands. Features a creek, spring-fed trout pond, and stunning views of Shortoff Mountain. The open floor plan includes a dining area that opens to a screened porch with a wood-burning fireplace, and a great room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a soaring fireplace.
Upper Level:
Primary bedroom with wood-paneled ceilings and an ensuite bath with a steam shower, freestanding tub, and heated floors. Loft with additional seating and two bedrooms with bathrooms.
Bonus Room:
"Bunk house" above the garage with a full bath, two bunk beds, a sectional sofa, and a wide-screen TV.
Outdoor Spaces:
Nestled on 12 private acres, this serene mountain retreat offers all the space you need to unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature. Step out from the living area onto a spacious open-air deck, where panoramic mountain views stretch before you—perfect for morning coffee or sunset toasts. This deck seamlessly flows into a beautifully furnished screened porch, complete with classic rocking chairs, a plush patio sofa, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace to gather around on cool evenings. A bar-height dining table provides the ideal spot for casual meals or drinks with a view. Off the foyer, you’ll find a second uncovered deck featuring comfortable seating and a gas grill—ready for relaxed outdoor dining. The main level primary bedroom offers private access to the back deck, connecting you directly to the screened porch and the soothing sights and sounds of the great outdoors.
As you explore the property, don’t miss the spring-fed trout pond!
