Norman Ridge: In-Town Charming Home w/ Mountain Views, Firepit | Pet Friendly

Elegant 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom home in a secluded location less than a mile from downtown Highlands. Full of charm, this home boasts three fireplaces, two living areas, antique hardwood floors, exposed antique pine beams, and a large covered screened in porch with mountain views.
The home opens into a large and lavishly stocked & updated kitchen, open to a cozy living area with a TV & fireplace, and a formal dining room surrounded by windows.
The spacious Main Livingroom has a stone woodburning fireplace, a variety of comfortable seating, and a Smart TV. The living space extends outdoors with access to either the screened porch or a backyard patio from the main living area. The backyard patio features a small water feature, an outdoor firepit, a grill and a bocce ball court.
The master bedroom offers a King sized bed and its own private bathroom with heated floors, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. It also has its own access to the screened in porch.
On the other side of the Main level is a full bathroom, 2 sets of laundry machines, a bedroom with 2 Full-sized beds, and the main foyer of the house.
Upstairs is a small landing with a desk and small couch, surrounded by 3 additional bedrooms (King + crib, 2 Twins, 2 Queens) and a bonus room with a Queen-sized bed, Toddler bed, daybed, and its own extended seating area with a Smart TV. There are 2 full bathrooms upstairs for guest use.
All of this on top of the mountain yet still walkable to Downtown Highlands' world-class shops and restaurants! The home's paved driveway has a steep incline, however, so the walk back from town may be a hefty hike for those who aren't avid walkers.
Norman Ridge has it all and more, proved by testimonies from several years of satisfied renters, with both long term stays and weekend getaways. Ask about booking a reservation today!

Best Rental in Highlands

Norman Ridge far exceeded any expectations. The house is in extremely great shape while also having many timeless features and incredible character. The home was a blessing to stay in and I would like to stay here for years to come. The beds ALL are extremely comfortable. Kitchen was perfect for our group. Indoor fire places in too many rooms to count and were in great working order. The screened in porch was well kept and very relaxing. The decorations, construction, and finishes throughout this house were amazing and very well selected. All bathrooms were fantastic. Cannot say enough great things about this house.
