Welcome to Highlands, North Carolina! If you're looking for a VRBO that is walking distance to most everything, then look no further. Lose yourself in the luxury and sophistication that Highlands has long been known for as a guest at our apartment.

Light and bright, the open concept creates a cozy yet spacious experience where you can relax or entertain in a modern meets rustic setting. Features include a fully equipped kitchen with gas range and granite counter tops, office nook for a working vacation, oak floors in the living area, laundry room with iron/ironing board, two porches and private parking for two vehicles.

In addition to the king size bed in the bedroom, we also have an EZ Bed Air Mattress elevated on legs with a cozy mattress topper for an additional 1-2 guests that can be set up in the living area, if needed.

A fun fact; the living area was once the dining hall of an old estate home situated above Founders Park. The pulley windows and coffered ceilings bring in the old Highlands character that is now hard to find. The apartment is on the second floor of a two story building, located above our Green Mountain Builders office.

As transplants to the area, we understand how easy it is to fall in love with Highlands and the surrounding area. As a real estate broker and builder, we are happy to help should you decide it's time for your own slice of paradise.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding our rental, things to do in Highlands or about the area in general!

    Recently renovated, the apartment was beautiful, clean, and truly walkable to any part of downtown. My wife had stayed here in the past and apparently they’ve added A/C since her stay because it was nice and comfortable all stay for us. Would absolutely stay here again!

    As all the other reviews said the location was perfect we walked to everything, but it was still very quiet and private. We enjoyed the covered porch and there was even a gate to keep the dog in. The towels linens and bed were very comfortable. I was concerned that there were no pictures of the bathroom but it was nice with a new walk in shower and and heated floors.

    A tree branch is touching the corner of the building above the stairs. The wind caused it to loudly knock against the wall all day/night The light in the bedroom ceiling fan flickers if you leave it on for more than several minutes Bed needs new pillows

    Another amazing stay, and another amazing set of renovations! We never tire of this wonderful place, and each time seems to bring something new. This time fresh stairs, a beautiful front door, a covered porch and gorgeous new roofline, along with central heating / air conditioning.

    The location can’t be beat - easy walk to wonderful restaurants and shopping on the Main Street. Owners recently installed central air conditioning and heat making it super easy to be comfortable. Also provided a new larger, “smarter” TV. (We have stayed here multiple times.) It is like a home in the trees. Very comfortable.

    Great location. Convenient for downtown walking distance. The description of the location was not accurate was off the road and the outside of the property did not match the picture. Suggest more information and updated picture. Bathroom needs an update. Sink did not drain and toilet seat needs replacing. Obviously a lot of upgrades to property would recommend a little more investment in these areas would improve experience. Overall we had a great weekend and would consider returning.

    This is a great place with recent updates. I especially liked the roomy, breezy front porch. My Dad is 90 and he had some trouble getting from the ground to the first step, but the steps were new with good railing. We enjoyed our wedding weekend in Highlands. I recommend walking over to The Blue Bike Cafe for brunch. I really needed a doc-friendly place and this worked out well for us.

    Returning guests to this conveniently located property. Owners have added a phenomenal new covered porch which makes for a lovely spot to hang out. In addition, owners have resided the outside, replaced windows and have plans to replace the front door and add central heating and A/C.Location is excellent, an easy walk into Highlands shops and restaurants.Overall, a very positive stay and experience!

    We just returned from our third stay at this perfect apartment in Highlands. It’s our little slice of heaven. The location is an easy stroll from town. The inside is tastefully decorated and has everything you need for a great time. We don’t cook much while in town, but the kitchen seems to be well stocked. We always appreciate the front and back porches and this year they have added a covered roof to the front porch. You won’t find a better location with such comfortable accommodations. Throw in that it’s affordable and you understand why we love it. Thank you to Mary and her equally great husband. We will be back!

    I can't remember whether this was our 4th or 5th stay. Regardless we will be back again! It is perfect for us, and this trip even more so, since we brought our dogs and they were right at home. The fresh gravel for the driveway was a wonderful change from our last visit, and the heated floor in the remodeled bathroom is an amazing touch.

    We enjoyed our Highlands stay convenient for downtown as well as surrounding areas. We left the car parked and walked the easy distance to Highlands restaurants and shops. The owner very thoughtfully shared flowers from the garden and as well was responsive when the iron needed attention. The great room is large with several comfortable seating options. Overall, a very positive stay and experience!
