    When we arrived, we were surprised to find out our place was being remodeled and was unavailable. After traveling for 4 hours and family 8 hours, we had to find an alternate place last minute in an overbooked location. This created slot of stress and now I am apprehensive on using BRBO in the future.

    The property was great overall. As advertised!!! The only glitches were our misplacement of the door code. During the stay, we were unable to lock the front door. The TV was a mystery. Suggest. a written hand book on how the door locks work and how to operate the TV. Wanted to get PBS and NBC on but it was impossible. The thermostat should have an operating manual for those unfamiliar with that thermostat.Written instructions for these three would save a lot of hassle for guests and the local representative.

    Quite an enjoyable stay at this somewhat oddly designed house on top of a hill overlooking the Highlands. The driveway is well hidden (and steep) so make sure to watch closely for the house number on a large tree. But once up the driveway, it expands into an area for 4 cars. Kitchen/Bathrooms are all modern and nice. Wrap around decks give it its Treehouse name, and on the top floor you can see over the trees and the surrounding area. Location is perfect- less than 0.5 mile from downtown, and there was always plenty of parking even on a late June weekend. Bruce (contact host) was awesome and great communication.

    Overall our experience was good. Highlands, NC is beautiful. Great hiking and waterfalls. Main town shops and restaurants are very nice but expensive. Be aware of times, many restaurants close by 9pm. Our stay was good, house could use some refreshing and updates.

    Loved staying in this house. My kids especially loved the top floor. Because of how tall it is and the porches, it felt a bit like a tree house. Private, cozy, perfect location.

    Cute house in a great neighborhood that is very close to town. Lots of stairs. Wish there would have been more flexibility with the check in time (3PM) and check out time (10AM).

    Property as described. Very clean. Comfortable. Enjoyed the decks and views, just wish we didnt have so much rain to enjoy it even more! (The covered patio doesnt protect from rain well). Close proximity to town, easy walk in regards to distance (which is why we chose this place) however very steep walk home. Disclaimer: we're from florida so any incline seems steep, haha, but the road and driveway were def very steep! Made for a good workout. Most enjoyed bringing our two dogs for very minimal fee, which we appreciate! Loved our stay, enjoying the house, charming town, and nearby naturesque trails!
