Above a Wine Shoppe...Downtown Highlands!

Walk anywhere!! In-Town Property.


I can't think of a better place to be than Highlands, NC. The only thing better is a location with the ability to walk everywhere in town and be above a Wine Shoppe! You will access to our Main St. facing front yard with fire pit, tables and chairs. The end to a perfect evening is having a glass of wine while sitting by the fire pit.

Our apartment was remodeled in 2017. Most of the work was done by my Father (a retired Highlands builder). We wanted to keep the characteristics of Highlands but offer modern amenities. Our property is #1 on the Historical Registry for Highlands.

Great location walkable to everything

Apartment had all the comforts of home - well stocked kitchen, very spacious and comfortable and clean. Great location above the Wine Shop. Enjoyed having a glass of wine and visiting with the guests at the Wine Shop. Will definitely come back!! We planned to grill steaks based on pictures on VRBO - disappointed to find no grill. Highly recommend adding a grill.

Absolutely perfect spot and great apartment! The place is incredibly spacious with a huge bedroom, a very large living area and an extra large kitchen! We loved having that outdoor space available as well! We were super surprised by how big it was! To top it off, the bed is super comfortable and the location can’t be beat! It’s right on Main Street and walking distance to everywhere!
