We loved this home. Great home for gathering. The two living areas were perfect for College Football weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of bath linens. Kelli was very quick to respond to any questions. Will rent again.

Vacation home with everything we needed

This home is beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. Loved the screened porch and the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows every night. An added feature was the restaurant right down the street. The house was spotless when we arrived. We will be back!

Very Cute Mountain House!!

This was a great house for a mountain getaway. Everything was very clean and the owners ensured that we had everything we needed down to firewood, starter chips, and even wood sticks for marshmallows! The house was deal for having a group stay and the view was lovely. Very close to the town for easy access to dining options!

Family vacation

Our entire immediate family was able to come up. The house is perfect even as our family ages. Winedown is perfectly afforded with all amenities you can imagine. The location is so central it was easy to get around. The host was very easy to reach. We will share this listing with others and will be back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli Bowker

We are native to Northeast Georgia. We've been traveling to Highlands for over 10 years and decided to make it our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

This house is at a great location because it is close enough to enjoy all the amenities in town but far enough to enjoy views, serenity, and privacy.

What makes this property unique

A short walk to Flat Mountain Farm and Pinky Falls and a stone's throw to Skyline Lodge.
