Nature Lover's Dream! Nestled in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Highlands made famous for Joe Webb Cabins, Twin Ponds is perfect for nature lovers! Beautifully appointed home within walking distance to Lake Sequoyah and On the Verandah restaurant. It is a 5 minutes' drive to Old Edwards Inn and Main Street (2 miles), 1-2 mile from Bridal Veil Falls, and Dry Falls, and Callasaja Falls. Our favorite though is to take the private trail right from the front of the house to Cliffside Lake,or walk to tour the famous Joe Webb Cabins. Sip wine on two large covered decks overlooking two ponds on our property, the community garden, , picturesque horse farm and mountains in the distance. Wake up in the morning and have yoga on the deck by the pond, with birds singing around you! Sip coffee on the dock glider to take in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the beautiful lotus flowers in the pond and fish darting out of water. Read a book in the hammock on a lazy afternoon, or just sit in the rockers hanging out with friends and family. At night, roast marshmallows by the fire pit!

Our home is over 3000 sqft of interior space on three levels, with two full length decks overlooking the ponds, horse farm and community garden. It has 5 bedrooms, and 3 full and 1 half bath. It is a wonderful house with an open floor plan to enjoy the family gathering and entertain. Main floor has cathedral ceilings, a very large living room seats 7-10, with a Mitchell Gold sofa, smart TV, and a gas fireplace at the click of a bottom. Dining room has an enormous Restoration Hardware dining table that can accommodate 10, kitchen with a sliding window to connect to the outdoor bar area. French doors open up to a huge deck, with dining tables, a seating area and an outdoor bar area connected to the kitchen. We just went through a brand new kitchen renovation, with beautiful cabinets, leathered hard marble countertop, and a big island overlooking the garden and horse farm. We have a grill, and an outdoor cooler to make family meals and entertaining easy. Lower Level Deck has 4 rockers, a hammock and another sitting area. Inside the house, upper level has a master bedroom with a King bed, and another bedroom with a queen. Enjoy a soothing bath in the beautiful claw foot tub, big enough for two. Lower level has three bedrooms, 1 King, 1 Queen, and 2 Twins. It also has another sitting area with smartTV and DVD player, and a foosball table that converts to a small pool table. We have prepared lots of games, books and movies for the rainy days. We have four SmartTVs in the house in total for you.

We have attempted to make our home as comfortable as possible to make your visit an exceptional one. We have stocked the kitchen with lots of pots and pans, regular and Keurig coffee, bread maker, toaster, blender, crockpot, rice maker, popcorn maker and more. Contemplating buying a purple mattress The lower level king bedroom has one. Try it before you buy it. We have also compiled a guide for your stay for various activities and restaurants. There is a starter kit to get your vacation started. We hope you will enjoy Twin Ponds!

    Great stay! Plenty of room for our group of 10. Close to town, well appointed, great outdoor space. My only thing would be the condition of the pans. Most were non stick and were horribly scratched. Having experienced this at multiple rentals over the years I bring one of my own when we rent. This doesn’t bother everyone and that’s great! Just mentioning it if it does. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!!

    We had a great time...really enjoyed the back deck and looking out over the woods and the pond. Walked the neighborhood roads every day.....closer to town than where we have stayed previously....and we had plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Loved our stay. You'll probably be hearing from us again for next year!

    We were in Highlands for a wedding. The house was perfect and everyone had their own room which was really nice. No one had to sleep on a sofa. It was very convenient to the Old Edwards Farm and downtown Highlands

    Loved the mail Level and top floor. Lower level felt basement-like. The beds downstairs were uncomfortable

    A great location - close to town but secluded and tucked away for relaxation! Ample bedrooms so we all had our own space to retreat and rest well, but dinner and shopping and the spa at Old Edwards were only minutes away! Plus the host sent an email with all kinds of local activities and events that were happening during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

    The property was perhaps the best VRBO listing that we have rented! It was clean, fresh and very well equipped. The owner was great to communicate with and very helpful. I highly recommend this property.
