More Details:
Our loft is located in the historic Galax Theater Building - where Highlands’ first movie theater was located years ago. Updated in 2023, the loft is the perfect space for someone looking to stay in town! When you walk upstairs into the Galax Loft, you’ll immediately notice the space has been thoughtfully curated to create a modern mountain atmosphere. From the vibrant furniture, gold fixtures, and an accent wall to the natural wooden beams, indoor foliage, and antique landscape paintings, the space is a perfect blend of what’s current and classic.

The living room is filled with natural light thanks to the vaulted ceiling and skylight. The living space is a perfect spot to relax between everything you have planned for your trip!

From the living room, step outside to our balcony that overlooks Main Street. Outfitted with a bistro table and seating for two, this relaxing outdoor space is a great way to start or end your day. Read your favorite book with a cup of coffee in the morning. Pour a glass of wine and people watch as everyone heads to dinner in the evening.

The cozy bedroom features a comfortable king size bed and Smart TV. Cozy up in the hotel quality linens and binge watch your favorite show - is there any better way to relax and unwind from the day

The bathroom is located off the kitchen and primary bedroom and features an industrial galvanized metal shower and a few toiletries you may need during your stay!

With all of the incredible dining options here in Highlands, we don’t expect you’ll want to do much cooking. However, the apartment’s kitchenette has a few essentials to help make your stay more comfortable: Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee Maker and supplies, Electric Kettle, Dishes, Soap/Sponge, etc.

    Here's a polished version of your review:We had a wonderful stay at this charming condo in Highlands, NC. The location was fantastic, and the decor added a cozy touch. The bed was comfortable, though we found the pillows a bit too thick for our preference. However, the host was very attentive and reached out to check on us. After I mentioned the pillow issue, they promptly had thinner ones delivered before the end of the day. This thoughtful gesture made a significant difference for our last couple of nights. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

    My husband and I wanted to stay right in center of the Highlands. Couldn't have been any better! Sweet place, comfortable bed, great shower. The only improvement I would make is to offer a way scramble an egg in the morning. The unit only offers a refrigerator and a microwave. But maybe it isn't advisable for insurance, city ordinances, etc. Would recommend this place! The balcony overlooking Main Street was a great place to sit in the mornings with coffee or in the evening prior to heading out for a dinner reservation. It has a speak easy feel to it. We enjoyed our visit to Highlands!

    We have made coming to the Highlands an annual retreat for our anniversary and found this really promising spot right in downtown that I was really hopeful would be the best spot

    Check in was easy, but not ideal as you have to go to the office across town to pick up the key. Ameneties were plentiful and property was clean.

    The Galax condo is conveniently located on Main Street and within walking distance to many of our favorite shops and restaurants. The unit was very clean and beautifully furnished. The primary suite bed is extremely comfortable and the unit was perfectly stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend, including a chilled bottle of wine upon arrival! We were easily able to come and go throughout the day given the prime location on Main Street and we never had any issues with parking. The unit comes with a designated parking spot behind the building, but we never had to use it. I highly recommend the Galax condo and we look forward to going back.
