*Owners Note*  After a decade of staying in Highlands with my wife, and now our 3 children, we did a crazy thing and bought a mountain lodge. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made. It truly gives us a piece of our hearts back each time we visit. We enjoy quality time and making lasting memories. Spring, Summer and Fall are all wonderful times to visit Highlands. There's lots of beautiful hikes, waterfalls, shopping, restaurants, gem mining, swimming holes, and the local rec center has an indoor pool and playground for younger children to enjoy. Highlands Aerial Park is available for those who really seek adventure in the mountains. All are within minutes away. Check it out and find out why we can't get enough! Come enjoy the mountain life to the fullest!

What our guests are saying…

"The home was incredible. We were in Highlands for our son’s wedding at The Farm at Old Edwards. I generally don’t like rentals, but I would definitely stay in this home again. It was super clean and felt very welcoming. My friend that visited me there, loved it also and intends to get a group together to rent this home. It was FANTASTIC!!!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Tammy M.

Fantastic Home

We really enjoyed the home. Clean, comfortable and well put together. It was a great experience and our boys really appreciated the Buck Hunter game downstairs! Town is only about a 3 minute drive and there are numerous hiking trails in the area. Highly recommended!

Spacious Lodge!

We will definitely be back to this house. The screened in porch with a fireplace was absolutely spectacular. Our kids loved the huge basement. The house was clean, all the modern amenities and extremely well maintained.
