The open-concept common area features a kitchen, dining area, and lounge with welcoming decor and furnishings making it perfect for meal times and movie nights. Large windows flood the home with beautiful natural light and showcase the gorgeous views of the lush Highlands forest.
The designated chef(s) will find everything they need in the kitchen for whipping up tasty home-cooked meals. Of course, if you don’t feel like cooking, you’re just a few minutes away from some great restaurants.
The cozy lounge invites you to relax after a day of exploring. Kick your feet up and dive into a good book, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or simply listen to the crackle of the wood-burning stove as you snuggle together on the sofas.

Close-by the house you have access to world class boating and lake beach (in season on Lake Glenville), hiking, shopping, dining, fishing, and even skiing/tubing during the winter. Sapphire Mountain is 15 minutes from the house and offers a great winter experience with a ski hill and tubing!

This is our vacation home, but it is set-up as a luxury, short term rental for guests. It is turn-key, therefore, doesn't require any interaction with us or the care-takers of the home. We have an electronic lock on the door and will issue you a unique code for your stay.
I spent years in the hospitality industry (Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, and private country clubs) and my wife and I view our role as general manager/proprietor of this property. Our goal is to make sure your stay exceeds your expressed and unexpressed wishes.
We live two hours from the property, but have excellent care takers for the home right in Highlands. Should you need anything regarding home maintenance, cleaning, or additional supplies just let us know!
Holt Knob is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in downtown Highlands. Most a year-round community, there are an amazing array of quintessential Mountain Homes carefully placed throughout this community. Great walking, beautiful scenery, and friendly neighbors.
You can walk to town from our home, but to get anywhere else you will need a car.
The driveway is a gravel driveway and has a steep approach (paritally paved). 4 X4 is NOT NEEDED, but please refer to our video recommendations on how to ascend and descend the driveway safely.
We provide plenty of dishwasher detergent and cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, high quality toilet paper and Tupperware, a fully stocked kitchen with all cooking and service utensils, coffee and tea, and other items that are not often included in a vacation rental.

    My wife and I stayed here recently for our anniversary weekend. We were very happy with the cottage and location relative to Main Street. The owners have put a lot of love in this cottage and it shows. We had one issue with the internet and it was resolved in a matter of minutes by the owner reaching out to the provider. If you're looking for a cozy cottage that feels secluded, but is only a short distance to all the shops/restaurants you've found it! Highly recommended!

    Perfect location, beautiful neighborhood to walk the dogs, peaceful and convenient. Pictures don’t do the cabin justice. It is adorable and very nicely decorated.

    Very comfortable 2 bedroom/2 bath A frame house. One bedroom is upstairs with 2 twin beds with another twin bed in the small loft area on the way to the bedroom. The bathroom with shower is downstairs which my adult daughter and her friend used to get ready for a wedding. Good master bedroom downstairs with a nice bathroom and large closet. The kitchen/living area is comfortable and there is a deck right off the kitchen looking into the woods. There were 3 of us and it was perfect! My wife couldn’t make it but the house would easily handle a 4th person. The location is great! You have about a 10 minute walk to town or a quick drive. You can tell the owners care about the home. They provided every we needed, it was very comfortable, and the location fantastic. It was great for us!

    We loved Be Still with its charm, location, and relevant appointments. It had everything we needed and was central to downtown and the hiking trails we wanted to do. It was so clean and perfect for the two of us to get away and rest up for a weekend. The master bed was so comfortable I joked with my husband about booking it for just myself to come sleep at some point. We loved it and hope to come back!

    We stayed at Be Still for two of the coldest nights possible, low temperatures of 6 and 3 degrees. The host made sure we would stay warm by scheduling a furnace service just before we checked in and also provided some wood for the wood burning stove. Great communication before our arrival made everything go smoothly. We had a great time spending some cozy time together after some cold snow tubing and hikes.

    Perfect little house for us. It was our first visit to Highlands, for a wedding. Great, convenient spot. Felt very private while still very close to town.

    Our family of three spent some cozy, quiet time in this lovely cabin! The rain interrupted a lot of our plans so it was great to have this place to just chill out. The two bathrooms are great if you have a larger family as not a lot of rentals in the area have that. The cabin is in a great location and indeed near town - be warned, there are some steep up and down hills before getting to the main road so if it's wet and you have a stroller - be careful! Everything was well appointed and well maintained. There were some board games too, and our toddler loved playing with the jenga blocks. One small note, the toilets seem to run at random times for 20 seconds at a time. Obviously not a big deal during the day but when it happens at 2 or 3am it's a little unsettling. Overall we had a great experience. The communication was great and would definitely stay again when in the area!
