The pictures of the home and grounds do not do it justice. Perfect family getaway. The home was absolutely spotless and check in was effortless. Beautiful views, quiet and private, yet close and convenient to downtown.
What a beautiful and unique home with stunning views on every level of the house. Our two weeks flew by while we enjoyed the wonderful detail to attention in this home.
We spent an enjoyable week here with our family. It combines the beauty of the lake and nature, with the close proximity to the town of Highlands. Would definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved this property! The house and setting are beautiful, the home is just the right mix of roomy and cozy, and the owner has thought of everything. We could not have had a better time!!
This beautifully appointed home is in a spectacular setting with lake views from multiple perspectives. It had every comfort and convenience, while preserving the feel of a centuries old French chateau. The owner and the caretaker could not have been more accommodating. 5-star all around.
The house is so elegant and the setting just gorgeous. Jani and Red made our stay easy and responded to our every need instantly. The kitchen was fully stocked and one of our favorite things was romantic dinners in the small secondary dining room with a fireplace overlooking the lake. Just perfect!
Interesting property. Nice touches to inspire a French Chateau feel. Staring to show some age. Main TV had an annoying Sony infomercial constantly interrupting programming. Some lamps did not work. Felt like we were under surveillance with all of the cameras. At the price one would think every detail would have been vetted before guest arrive. Otherwise, nice stay.
Everything about the house and property is gorgeous. The house is full of European antiques, it’s so incredible. There is a view of the water out every window and the grounds are magical. You will feel like you’re at a summer house in Europe. The location is great, you are minutes from downtown Highlands. We will be back!
A fabulous combination of a beautiful, well-equipped home, gorgeous setting, close proximity to downtown Highlands, and gracious hosts in Jani and Red. The kayaks were a bonus enjoyed by all!
House was very well appointed. Plenty of towels great views. So close to town and many restaurants. Red the manager was very accessible and helpful. Bonus that you can you garage.
This property is absolutely gorgeous in every way! I feel Very Blessed to finally be able to stay there for five days. We were celebrating a huge birthday and l enjoyed it more than words can express. Jani is so wonderful to work with and goes the extra mile to accommodate you and make sure your stay is everything you expect. Her property manager, Red, is just as nice and so happy to show you around upon your arrival. This VRBO delivers everything you see in the photos and certainly doesn’t disappoint. I am already looking forward to my next stay here. Thank you Jani for sharing the most beautiful home l have stayed in in Highlands.
House and view are stunning. Lake Sequoyah is beautiful and peaceful. Close to Highlands and Cashiers - great food and shopping. Host and manager were fantastic to work with. We would love to go back!! Family all had a great time!
The house and landscaping were beautiful.
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at La Chatelaine. The pictures online are beautiful, but you can't fully appreciate this property until staying there. We have been in the rental business ourselves for over 15 years, so I am extremely detail-oriented, and I must say, Jani has thought of absolutely everything. The home is so well supplied, and the kitchen is a chef's dream - so very high-end but functional - we enjoyed cooking a few meals in verses going out every night. Everything was spotless, and top quality from the fully stocked kitchen, to the beds and linens. The home itself is a work of art, truly stunning, and no detail has been missed architecturally. Every piece of furniture looks like it was made for this house specifically, and you will not run out of beautiful artwork, amazing photos, and great reads to admire and enjoy during your stay. The location is perfect, only a mile and a half from downtown. Such gorgeous views of the lake, I loved having my coffee and taking in that view!! Red (property manager) was as sweet and accommodating as could be - even helping with local suggestions on hiking trails, etc. Jani was the same - both made this such an enjoyable vacation. We have been to Highlands several times now, and this was our best trip yet. Perfect weather and perfect accommodations. We plan to be regular returning guests, if we can squeeze into Jani's packed reservation schedule! Thank You Jani and Red. You've done a beautiful job with this property - I hope everyone treats it with loving care and respect, and fully appreciates it's beauty.
My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves at this property. The location was convenient to all the amenities of the Highlands. The time we spent together here created “new” family memories that will forever be in our minds. The entire property, inside and out was enjoyed by all. Everything was top shelf & our stay was quite delightful.... & “oh the shower”! The meandering path to the dock was scented with the smell of rhododendrons & the canoe and kayaks were a lot of fun. Jani & Red were very accommodating and our experience was quite “Epic”!
This was the perfect house for us this weekend. This house had everything: a well appointed kitchen, multiple seating areas, comfortable beds, an amazing view, sweet walking paths, a dock for fishing, and a pool table. This hidden gem was perfect for escaping the hustle of the city and reconnecting with family and nature.
