Absolutely delightful stay at The Stag. So well appointed and welcoming in every way. Thank you Chris and Joy.Steve and Terry

Very clean, more than adequately appointed and beautifully designed home.

An Absolute Gem in The Highlands!What a truly outstanding property! We are long time VRBO patrons and this property ranks as one of the top properties we’ve ever stayed in. From the serene convenient location to town to the incredible attention to decorating details, this property has it all. The home was extremely clean and very, very well appointed both from a design and a guest convenience perspective. Everything was thought of for a pleasurable stay including an extensive coffee bar offering a selection of plain and flavored coffees, comfortable beds with beautiful soft linens and a well stocked kitchen with everything you may need to feel completely and comfortably at home.The lovely pictures in the VRBO website do not do adequate justice in conveying just how beautiful this property is. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so very soon.

I went to my favorite mountain town with my family to celebrate a BIG birthday and ended up staying in my new favorite rental. The Stag is even better than it appears in photos, and Chris is a gracious and responsive host. The house has everything you could need and then some. We didn't look for a single thing we needed that we didn't find. Olive oil? Check. Old Bay seasoning. Check. Coffee. Check. And GOOD coffee, too. There's an entire drawer of Keurig pods. And creamer, too! Each bedroom had a mini-flashlight by the bed. Not that we needed them since the night lights are MOTION-ACTIVATED. I didn't even know those existed. We loved The Stag and are eager to return. My mom wanted to writer her own glowing review, but I told her we could submit only one. So, she submitted it to me and asked me to post it: A delightful stay in this exceptional home! The only complaint I have is that it was too hard to say “goodbye,’ close and lock the door for the last time. Owners have thought of everything! We’ve stayed in many a vacation rental over the years but never one where so many unexpected items were furnished. Beds and bedding are luxurious. Cozy and inviting living area, porch and outdoor spaces. Helpful host and prompt attention to a minor issue which was quickly resolved. Highlands is one of our favorite spots and now we have a new favorite home-away-from home there!

Wonderful place and close to Highlands downtown. It was comfortable and totally as represented. We would stay there again and highly recommend it.

We were very please and especially with the cleanness of the home as well as all the comfort details. Fans,charging cords on the night stands,Irons Ironing boards, Kitchen supplies etc...

The Stag was an excellent property. Very clean and well equipped. Made extensive use of outdoor space. Less than a 10 min drive into Highlands. Bed in master suite was very comfortable. TVs in all rooms, and outside, was a bonus. Will definitely stay again if available.

Check in was a breeze. House was extremely tidy. Kitchen well stocked, which was a bonus for cooking at the house. Cozy comfortable bedrooms, updated bathrooms. Spent one rainy day at the cabin playing games, reading books, and watching a movie by the fire. About 5-7 minutes to downtown Highlands. Easy to pop into town for shopping, lunch, and dinners.We had one question and texted owners; they were quick to reply.I recommend this property and plan to stay again!

We stayed at The Stag just before Christmas and absolutely loved it! The house was beautiful with every detail thought through, from the decor to the amenities. They even had it beautifully decorated for Christmas! The beds were comfortable with cozy linens & blankets, the kitchen was well stocked, the location was perfect, and the owners were responsive to communication. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful stay at your house! Thank you! ❤️

The house, the amenities and the attention to detail were spot on and made everything flawless. The furnishings and the bedding were very comfortable and relaxing. It truly made this the pefect stay for my daughter's wedding. I highly recommend to anyone looking in the area. Thanks Chris and Joy.

We attended a wedding at Flat Mountain Farm, which was less than half a mile up the road so this location was super convenient for us. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. One of our favorite amenities was the table top “fire” on the side porch. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

House in great location, close to town and hiking. Also in very nice area to walk around. Chris was very responsive to our requests Thank you.

We loved our time at The Stag. Chris was easy to communicate with and quick with his responses. The home was clean, well equipped, and had an awesome outdoor set up. We will be back!
