Valentine Estate-Perfect Combination of Coziness & Privacy for Multiple Groups

Location of the house was wonderful. Only taking about 5 minutes to get to Main Street. House was very secluded and private. Although it lacked long range views the stream and land provided a beautiful and relaxing setting. We would stay again next time we are in the Highlands for vacation.

Host was great. House was very clean and ready for us.

Wonderful property perfect for a group. The backyard is divine!

We had a great cabin weekend! The beds were very comfortable and the property is very close to downtown Highlands. The surrounding area is beautiful!

This is a fantastic property that accommodated our large group very well. The house is huge, the rooms are so spacious, the kitchen is very well stocked, the deck is amazing, multiple fire places and fire pits that gave such a wonderful ambiance to our stay. The house was even better than the pictures depicted. We hope to come back next year.

A group of us stayed at this large & very well stocked home for a girls weekend. The communication with the property manager exceeded all expectations! She communicated with us before we got there and was available for any questions we had. The property itself was really great space. 11 of us stayed very comfortably. And the back yard was nothing short of a fairy dreamland. The house was just about 5 min drive from downtown Highlands, and not far from hiking. We enjoyed everything about our stay!

Great family long weekend reunion! Check in was welcoming and super easy with Janet! Plenty of room for kids and grandkids—little ones loved yard with tiny pond filled by two small creeks. Nice location on edge of town—five minutes from grocery store or Kilwins, but felt like being in middle of forest! Well equipped kitchen for cooking in—ten minutes from restaurants for chef’s night out. A beautiful property for a large group—thanks again Janet!

House and property manager were wonderful. Very spacious and well kept. Plenty of room for a big family and close to town.

We picked this property for proximity to Highlands and room for 5 adult parties with separate bedrooms/baths.It's an attractive property, well appointed, but overpriced based on our experience:- We found insects on the bed and around the room in the guest house bedroom over the garage; by the smell, it had been recently sprayed, but insects persisted to the point we found it uninhabitable for our party.- The shower fixture in the downstairs suite was inop, so our party had to go upstairs to use the shower in another bedroom- Because of the guest house problem, we had to move one party into a smaller bedroom with twin beds and shared bath, but the light in that bathroom was also inop, making showers difficult without lighting- The deck was a nice feature, but the firepit propane ran out the first night, the three other propane tanks were empty. Fortunately, the agent had them refilled the next day.- We had a major leak in the plumbing for the refrigerator and separate icemaker, flooding the kitchen floor; we were able to finally find the valve and shut the water line off.- The dishwasher cycles never worked consistently even after reference to the online manual; it appeared the control board needs replacement.In summary, although the agent was very responsive to our issues (she is listing the house for sale), the property appears to not have been well maintained given it's age. The sum of these inconveniences greatly diminished our enjoyment of the weekend.

This house was a beautiful setting for my daughter’s bachelorette weekend getaway. Plenty of room and bathrooms. From the booking stage to the checkout and follow up…the communication was excellent! I would highly recommend this property for a large family/group gathering. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and wanted! We had a private chef come in and cook for us and she found the kitchen and supplies far above par from other places she has worked. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

Check in was so easy ! And the chocolate cake was a hit ! We enjoyed our few nights away as a growing family. We didn’t even use one of the bedrooms and had 16 total ,including little ones. We hiked and visited Highlands , so close ! Definitely a house to keep in mind for future mountain trips !!!

Our family has been going to Highlands North Carolina for quite some while we are from Florida our children live in Alabama and Georgia. We all met up at Valentine estate and probably had the finest time we’ve had on the family getaway in our lifetime. It was truly everything we imagined, and Janet was superb in every way. What a perfect place!!!
