Very quiet and private and only 5 minutes to quaint Highlands downtown shopping and restaurants! A 3-tier fountain welcomes you as you enter the driveway as you get the first glimpse of the magnificent view! Immerse yourself into the professional landscaping that is home and nectar for many birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. With a creek running through property, there's lots to do inside with a game room, card room, ping pong table, billiard table, puzzles, theater seats, a Tuscany balcony, oodles of books for your relaxation, sunroom, 2 inside gas fireplaces and so much more! An 1800 sq. ft. enclosed full kitchen veranda with gas fire place, dining for 16, rocking chairs for comfortable tv viewing or taking in the view or for star gazing, very private setting. Beyond the veranda is a balcony with a fire pit (even with s’mores condiments provided!) and outdoor dining area. 50 mile views that never end! Make use of the decoration bins with various holiday decor available for Valentine Day, St. Patrick Day, birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. House faces north and south so you see the eastern sunrises and the western sunsets! Optional grocery shopping available for your arrival upon request and at your expense. And a local chef who can prepare personalized meals and dinners for you. This has become a very popular feature as the result is much more economical and convenient than going to local restaurants. Please contact the concierge for more details.

    View is fabulous!! We had 6 adults and 4 teenagers - more room than we needed. Everything that you need for this stay is at the house. A great room with glass on two sides, kitchen space, table that could seat 15 - 20 (my guess - more than we needed for 10). Everything is first class.

    I wouldn't believe that our second visit to Valentine Manor would exceed our first. I was very wrong. The house is spacious, comfortable and provides many extras to make your stay special. This time the large outer kitchen/dining area became the focal point of our visit. The area has the advantage of not only being large and comfortable but also the option to be open or enclosed giving you its use at all times...day or night. Also, the view is still incredible from many locations of the home! If you want to spend a remarkable time with family and friends, then Valentine Manor is the place!

    The home was beautiful and perfect for our large family gathering. The three generations were able to spread out and enjoy. We were personally welcomed by our concierge and she lead us through the house and showed us what we needed to know to make our stay go smoothly. We would absolutely stay again!!

    We had an incredible stay at Valentine Manor. Everything is top notch. From the moment we booked, the experience has been perfect. The house was above and beyond what we expected. The property Manager was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. The views were breathtaking. I can not say enough positive things about this home!

    The house was large and beautiful, the view our to die for! We spent most of our time on the amazing closed in patio. Everything you could possibly need was in the house. Janet the property manager, was great. She had us a beautiful charcuterie board, wine, and flowers for us. She gave a quick tour of the property. We definitely will stay here again.

    Couldn't have been better. The communication was better than any other property I have rented. The welcome gifts were unexpected and tremendous. The house was as expected - except the newly enclosed porch (that was previously just covered). What a phenomenal space. We spent 90% of our time in this space. Just wish we could have experienced the view but the weather didnt cooperate. We did get a little of the view on the afternoon we arrive and the morning we departed. The rest of the time it was raining and couldnt see past property.

    Our stay was fantastic! You can not ask for a better house in Highlands to stay at!! The view, the house, and Janet who made all things possible! You can not go wrong with this house. We had everything provided for us that we needed and more! The house is huge with several new features! We hired a private chef for our last night and it was phenomenal! We will come again!

    I have used VRBO many times and have always been satisfied. However, this house and the service was extraordinary. The manager (Janet Sanchez) was very responsive to any questions and set the house up beautifully for our stay. We arrived to a cake, roses, a bottle of wine and a cheese platter to welcome us. The house was very well furnished with everything including pots, pans, dishes, glassware, towels, etc. I highly recommend this property.

    The house was perfect. There were 5 couples staying there. The back porch was our favorite gathering place. The house was completely stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
