Highly recommend!
I highly recommend this lovely home! It’s in the center of town but off the main drag so you have plenty of quiet and privacy. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and within walking distance of everything. A perfect spot to stay for our family wedding!

Incredibly tasteful home in ideal location
We stayed at this property for the Highlands F&W festival and couldn’t have asked for a better house. I have rented many homes before so I have a baseline of what to expect, this house exceeded!
Great mix of antiques and quality pieces, not cheap rental furniture. The layout is ideal especially with multiple couples as each group can have their own “wing”. We loved turning the fire on each morning and making breakfast while staring out at the pond.
Location can’t be beat if you want the walk to town option without being IN town. Right by mountain fresh grocery which made for easy coffee runs. Also super close to the botanical garden and nature center which we did with kids.
Plenty of towels and hangers too which is always so nice when traveling.
We had one issue where I needed to contact Laird and she was not only extremely responsive but also considerate and helpful!
We look forward to renting again!

Cannot wait to return to this beautiful property!
We were not able to enjoy this lovely home for long, due to the hurricane, but hope to visit again soon. The location is absolutely perfect, an easy walk into town, but set far enough away that it is private and quiet. A great layout for a large group of friends, with a big screened in porch that would be perfect for relaxing in the morning, or after a day out. Laird was a wonderful host and we hope to come back and try again.

Perfect location and gathering spot for friends!
We recently celebrated a friend’s birthday in the Highlands, and this home could not have been more perfect! Plenty of beautifully decorated bedrooms, spacious and comfortable living room, and adequately stocked kitchen. The views from the deck were wonderful, the neighborhood was quiet, and the best part was that we could walk everywhere within minutes. We parked our cars and didn’t need them all weekend. Thank you for sharing your awesome home!
