    The home was one of the best locations for our stay, close to the wedding venue, everything about the house and host was perfect. We will certainly return to Highlands, NC and hopefully be able to rent this property again. I highly recommend this location if you liked being treated with a warm welcome, just like family.

    We had a great stay in this Highlands home! It accommodated two families with young children really well, was in a good location for easy access to downtown, and had several personal touches that went above and beyond.

    Hurricane Helene threatened to make this a terrible experience. However, when I arrive in the pouring rain, I arrived to a fresh baked cake, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I lost power for a few hours, Janet was in touch regularly, including making sure the generator was working, and even managing to get a tech to fix it in the middle of the storm. When the entire area lost cell and wifi, she showed up at the house to make sure I was OK. And meanwhile the fireplace, and games, kept me busy and warm. I would absolutely come back, and look forward to the opportunity!

    We couldn't have picked a better place to call home for 3 nights. Everything about this property was beyond expectations from the host Janet, to the location to all you'd ever want was available. Comfortable beds, abundfant supplies, etc., etc.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is clean, well-maintained, nicely equipped and located in a very pleasant neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the sunroom at the back of the house and the screened in porch. We look forward to staying here again during future visits to Highlands.

    Our group of five ladies had a great stay at this cute cottage very close to downtown Highlands. The house was just as listed, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is very nice too. Communication with the owner was quick and easy, and we appreciated the yummy cake that was left for us - such a thoughtful gesture! Would definitely stay here again.
