    Cannot say enough about this wonderful home. It has everything to make a vacation comfortable and easy. The well-equipped kitchen makes cooking and good coffee (a priority in my house) easy.And the views of the mountains from the deck are amazing! Downtown Highlands is at most 10 minutes. We will be back!

    This was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay during a vacation in Highlands! The cabin was clean and located in a beautiful neighborhood. We were within 15 minutes of the hikes that we wanted to do and we were within 5 minutes of downtown Highlands, so the location was very convenient! We loved sitting on the back porch amidst the trees in the afternoons. The host responded quickly when I had a question about check out. We would definitely love to stay here again when we visit Highlands in the future!

    This was a wonderful cabin for our 4 day stay in the mountains. We had everything that we needed and felt like we were home with all of the comforts! The neighborhood was perfect for walking our dogs and we were close to everything. It was beautifully furnished, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely choose this cabin when we visit again!

    We loved our stay at the Red Top Treehouse! It was the perfect mountain getaway, peaceful, beautiful, and so well thought out. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, making it easy to cook and enjoy dinner on the deck. The entire place was spotless and welcoming, and our host, Joann, was friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this little slice of mountain heaven!

    Your home was the perfect place for our stay. We are back home now and talked about the wonderful vacation we had all the way home. Thank you for making us feel welcome. The next time we plan to visit Highlands, we will be sure to look you up. Great cleanliness, location, amenities (towels,sheets, pillows,etc), also great idea with the leaf blower! Our best VRBO stay ever!

    Arrived on Valentine's Day. A bottle of Cava waiting for us! Great communication and absolutely the best appointed VRBO of the many I have stayed in. Clean, so well stocked and comfortable, we only left twice for dinners out. Great info in neatly organized notebook. Last half mile to home is a bit of adventure first time, but easy after that. We couldnt have been more pleased. Thanks Joann and Mike

    Our cabin stay was a perfect mountain interlude. It is a beautiful property and perfectly appointed with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable, and my compliments to the housekeeper for the pristine condition of everything. We relaxed in front of the fireplace on rainy days and enjoyed the forest view and beyond from the comfortable deck chairs when the weather cleared. It’s a quick trip to town and near many beautiful waterfalls and scenic overlooks. I would definitely stay here again!

    Red Top Treehouse Cabin had everything we needed plus a great location! The tree top views from the back deck were a great way to start and end each day. We really felt like we were in the mountains but could get to downtown in minutes. Our group saw one bear (thankfully from inside our car) and several deer. We loved walking the sweet mountain roads in this neighborhood. The roads are steep and narrow so bring a car suited for this type of driving - we thought is added to the adventure! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and pompt to respond.

    My friend and I enjoyed every minute of our stay at the cabin. It was beautifully decorated and equipped with anything you could want! The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and just relaxing after hiking a few places and shopping of course.We saw no bears while there!
