Enjoy the cool temperatures of Highlands, 4,000 ft above sea level, in this delightful home about 1.5 miles from Glen Falls, the most spectacular waterfall in the area. Enter into a beautiful open plan living space with raised ceilings and a large stone fireplace, a fully equipped renovated kitchen, dining area and cozy seating with TV and surround sound.

Step out onto the large covered porch and enjoy a south-facing open outlook, with separate seating and dining areas.

The master bedroom has a raised ceiling, a four-poster queen bed, en suite bathroom, seating area, walk in closet and opens onto its own sunny balcony, with 2 comfortable reclining chairs. The second bedroom is tastefully decorated with a queen bed and bathroom next door. Downstairs, the third bedroom has two extra-long twin beds and a full bathroom. The bonus room provides plenty of play space and has 2 bunks. The sunny lower terrace has another table and chairs. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer.

Half an acre of well-kept garden and plenty of room for parking (EV charge port NEMA 1450) surround the home. Situated less than 10 minutes by car from the town of Highlands with its many charming stores and high-quality restaurants. There is great hiking in the nearby area.

The house is not air conditioned, but at 4,000 feet elevation and fans in every room, we do not find it necessary. Please note, there is no trash pick up from the house and we request that guests take their trash to the town dump or take it home with them.

    Host interaction awkward. Host has extensive list of to-do’s from turning on hot water heater to taking our trash to a landfill several miles away. Not as welcoming overall

    Our stay in this property was fantastic. There were four adults, one being 81 years old. The two bedrooms upstairs have easy access from the carport with no stairs. The downstairs area is great for children or other adults. Beautiful kitchen opens to the family room and large, relaxing covered porch. Beautiful Flora and Fauna. Only two miles to Main Street Highlands, but far enough away to enjoy the tranquility.

    Close to the Town of Highlands in a picturesque neighborhood- the home was absolutely perfect for our needs.

    Our family really enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival the property was immaculately clean. Everything was as described. The process of arrival/departure was very simple, which we appreciate. The beds were comfy and the linens were high quality. The fireplace was easy to use and made for a very cozy atmosphere. Location was very convenient to town but felt private and tucked away. We hope to visit again in warmer weather to enjoy the beautiful outdoor spaces.

    Absolutely the best place ever! The large covered porch & furniture made it hard not to stay outside all hours. Clean, well appointed. Can’t wait until next year

    Check in and check out was seamless. The space was clean and definitely fit our needs (3 families), including plenty of patio space outside. We spent a lot time here. The owner/manager was very quick to respond to my questions, and the location was close to downtown. I do wish the listing was more specific in regards to no A/C and no trash service (visitors expected to transport their trash to discard). Understood it’s 4K feet above sea level so it’s cooler, but I think A/C is an amenity that some come to expect, so be upfront in the listing. Overall, thanks for the great stay.

    This property was very nice and allowed comfortable sleeping for several adults and two children. It was well taken care of and offered a nice outdoor seating area for spending time with family in the evening. It is very accessible to the nearby wedding venues, offers short drives to the town center, and is close to several local hikes.

    Peter was very accommodating when another rental had a pipe burst. Great house.
