We have been coming Highlands since 1986. Of all of the homes the owners have allowed us to rent, always for a week and many times two weeks, this was absolutely the most warm and welcoming. The house is very well appointed and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The owner was a delight to work with. We plan to return soon.
We spent a week in this beautiful home while enjoying the great town of Highlands and taking in the spectacular fall foliage! We’ll be back!
Great location close to downtown highlands. Very clean, lots of towels and bedding as well as pots and pans. Owner friendly and communicative.
Perfect weather, nicely furnished home. Unfortunately, had to cut trip 10 days short due to a medical emergency.
This was our second year spending a weekend at this house with another couple. Last year, the AC on the main floor went out (there was a short) and it was fixed partially the next day (Sunday). This year, there was no AC on the second floor at all. Although the owner was aware of this, we had not been informed. He did his best to get it fixed fast, but it wasn't until Monday that the repairman could come. So one couple spent 2 nights without AC. I expected the owner to make some type of compensation by way of a partial refund, but that did not happen either year. The dishwasher is also a problem: when we finally got it to turn on, (red light showing on bottom), it quit before cleaning the dishes. We will look for a more comfortable place, with better parking facilities, next time. (Parking as as described, which we knew in advance to be inconvenient especially because the drive is on a steep hill).
Beautiful home in a gated community. Four minutes from Highlands center. Responsive host who provided helpful detailed information about the home.
Lovely single family home, beautifully appointed in private close-in neighborhood. Host was particularly easy to reach and responsive.
Beautiful, well-appointed home in a great location. The owner is quick to respond and accommodating. We will stay at this property on our next visit to Highlands.
The house was just as pictured, if not better in person. It’s about 1/2 a mile from downtown Highlands. It’s a gated community that is safe and quiet. It was incredibly clean, with comfortable beds, great shower and baths. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and spices. Viking appliances. We did not get to use the outside porch because of the cold, but it was cozy and tidy and adorable. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace, which we used at morning and night. Communication with Duane was a cinch. He sent an email a few days prior with all of the info needed for check in. There is nothing but great things to say about this house and stay. I highly recommend and would stay again.
The house was one of the better properties I have stayed in the Highlands. Kitchen was well equipped and has everything you will need. The house is in a great location only a mile out of town. Would recommend this property to anyone.
We had the most wonderful visit to Highlands. We typically go several weeks a year and this was our first at this house. It was wonderful!! Perfect location, beautifully appointed and very comforatable. Can’t wait to go back!!
We had a fantastic stay at Duane’s property! The house could not have been lovelier, more comfortable or in a better location. We didn’t need or want for anything more! We will be back!
Spent a long weekend with my family in this lovely home. It is beautifully furnished and well equipped. There are two master suites with king beds and large private bathrooms. The third “bedroom” has a pull out sofa (as noted in description) and a nice private bath. The only negative is that the driveway can only accommodate 2 cars and is on a steep hill. There is flat covered parking at the top for one car, but any car parking on the slope will need a good parking brake. The roads are not wide, so parking at the bottom of the driveway or on the street is not an option. The owner was wonderful to work with and promptly answered all my questions. A detailed list of information and contacts was provided and a welcome basket loaded with wine, coffee, and snacks greeted us upon arrival! This rental surpassed our expectations and we look forward to renting again in the future!
This home has all the luxury finishes: mattresses, sheets, furniture, appliances, outdoor spaces. Our family (adults and older teens) enjoyed a wonderful week in Highlands. We were close to town, shopping, and restaurants. The smaller screened porch off the master was my favorite. Coffee in the mornings and listening to the trees was perfect. We hope to stay here again.
Everything was presented beautifully and all kitchen needs were anticipated. The house is furnished for very tall people, so reaching things in top cabinets was a challenge. Everything was immaculate and lovely, including the views from the bedrooms of the rhododendrons in back. The AC quit the night before last and the owner was very responsive and had a tech out the same day (Sunday!). However, it really wasn't fixed because he lacked the correct part. Luckily it was cool out during our stay.
This house is fantastic! Very high end, has everything you need to make yourself at home and has a very attentive, communicative owner. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Very nice property.
