Peaceful family getaway!

We enjoyed a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of our everyday life. The house was clean, nicely decorated and equipped with everything we needed for a three-night stay. We enjoyed walking around the community and to the nearby waterfalls. We also did some hikes around the Highlands area which had great views. Shannon was very responsive, helpful and the check in process was seamless. I hope we can return again. We left there relaxed, recharged.

Great spot!

This house in highlands was great and exactly what we needed. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The house was very nicely finished, comfortable, and well provisioned. We were given clear instructions/directions which were easy to follow and feel that this was a great value. We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the Highlands area!

Wonderful getaway!

We spent the best 5 days at this home. Amazing location, close enough to civilization but far enough that you really feel like you can disconnect. We could walk to the gem mine at the entrance of the community. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. As advertised and more! Shannon was extremely responsive and helpful with anything we needed. I can’t wait to come back again!
