"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!"

"This is a lovely home located in a very quiet neighborhood! It was the perfect getaway for our family! The house was beautifully decorated and a comfortable size- not too big, not too small. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and dreary/windy during our stay, otherwise we would have really enjoyed the amazing porches. We're already excited to come back in the summer when it is warm so we can take advantage of the nice outdoor space! Thank you!"
