Autumn Ridge, 3/2, peaceful/ secluded...1.5 mi from Highlands and fast internet!
Looking for some peace and quiet and to get back to nature? Autumn Ridge sits on a secluded hill with nothing but trees in sight. Your trip starts with a quiet drive through a tunnel of trees to the top of the hill with no neighbors in sight. Plan your own vacation with shopping, antiquing, ziplining, hiking, canoeing on mirror lake, fishing, or even just enjoying the fresh mountain air. You can explore the shopping and restaurants of downtown Highlands which is only 1.5 miles away. Once you come back home you can listen to the leaves rustle overhead while sitting on the deck with a hot coffee or hot chocolate surrounded by the soft movement of the forest. Road to house meanders up the and then down the hill creating a mile long walk or run. Take the dogs off the leash and let them run but don't be surprised to see deer jumping through the brush. Peaceful, beautiful, super comfortable beds, and the whole house was just renovated with guests in mind. House has great internet which sometimes is a rarity in this area! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Autumn Ridge is the perfect place for a long weekend in the mountains with friends. Quiet setting, clean and comfortable, convenient to town… we were very happy to find this gem!
We had a wonderful stay! Autumn Ridge was a beautiful home. Extremely clean, comfy beds and beautifully decorated. Close to town, yet quiet and private. Hosts were amazing to work with!
Overall, the house was great. Very comfortable living and sleeping spaces. The house was nice and clean when we arrived, and it is close to downtown as advertised. Would definitely recommend to others. We did wish the kitchen had a few more utensils for cooking and baking. There was only one sharp knife we found and very few measuring cups/spoons. Overall a great stay. Thanks!
Property was clean, nice and cozy. Just what we were looking for. We had a little problem getting into the house because instructions for the door lock were not clear. Otherwise, our long weekend escape to the woods was perfect.
5 mins to downtown Highlands, very convenient location. Home was clean and felt private. Owners were fantastic to communicate with. Thanks for the hospitality.
A quiet, tidy house in a wooded area with few homes. Close to town, cozy, great coffee bar set up. Owners very responsive to minor issue that arose.
I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful location, close to town. Clean, comfortable beds. Had everything we needed. I always read reviews before I choose a place to stay and I can assure you this was a great stay.
We stayed there with my 3 little kids. The house was perfect for our needs. It is under 3 miles to downtown Highlands which came in clutch when vacationing with 3 kids who needed to head home at parts of the day for nap times.
Host did a great job of communicating all necessary information.
Enjoyed it. The K-cups of coffee were a nice touch. Great location, quiet but close to town. Would be nice to have more seating on the deck. Overall very comfortable and convenient, would stay here again!
A wonderful quiet retreat location surrounded by nature and a good place to unwind/relax. While tucked in the woods, property is still in close proximity to town, farmers market, grocery store, Nature Center, waterfalls and trails. Home was comfortable, kitchen well equipped with all the essentials.
This home was cozy and comfortable for our family of 4. We had a wonderful time listening to the rain and watching movies. The beds are very comfortable, the home is very clean and the kitchen has everything you need plus some which made our stay very enjoyable and easy. Also, thanks for the assortment of coffee. We would definitely book here again, hopefully for longer next time. Thank you!
Cute home, big porch, easy drive to DT highlands. Countertops were dirty when we arrived and there were no paper towels to clean them. Smelled a little like dog but that faded with a little Fabreeze. Can’t beat the location. Super comfortable sleep number beds in each room
We had a fantastic visit at this great mountain cottage. After picking up our sons from camp, we traveled here to reconnect with the boys and enjoy a weekend in Highlands. The home was very well equipped with everything we could ever need and more. We felt right at home! The neighborhood is quiet and secluded. The home is on a beautiful mountain road that was great for walking the dog and enjoying the mountain air. Very close to town but a beat away so that you enjoy ample space and privacy. Highly recommend!
Autumn Ridge has a lot of potential, but there are numerous things that bothered us as a vacation retreat. We would like to state the hosts are exceptional. The location is exactly as described.Upon our arrival, we immediately noticed the following: Sour smell; broken lamp; electrical outlets with loose, removed, or hanging cover plates; missing doorknobs; dreadfully stained carpet. We took photos and contacted the hosts. They immediately replied they had not visited their property in months and if there were additional issues to let them know. Additional issues: Light bulbs were burned out or not present -no replacement bulbs were available; no hand towels or face cloths in the bathrooms [we purchased some]; no kitchen hand towels or oven mitts [we purchased some]; cobwebs inside lamp shades; patio screen door is off the runner and easily comes off the runner again once replaced; back porch door knob does not function; outdoor grill would not heat above 300 degrees; food and spices in the kitchen cabinets are OLD / Expired and needs to be thrown out [a bottle of syrup was dated 2009!]; the inside of these cabinets need to be cleaned; kitchen cabinet drawers need upgrading...they are literally falling apart; no sharp knives available [we took our own bc of a previous visitor's comment]. Even with the above issues, we would have given this property a higher rating if not for the carpet. It needs to go!!! When resolved, we would definitely visit again.
What a wonderful, scenic, mountain atmosphere at Autumn Ridge. We were so pleased with everything. From the quiet and secluded area, the excellent decor, and the fact that it was well-equipped and had easy access to the town of Highlands made our stay an excellent one I want to re-iterate what another guest said, "Once you turn onto Ridgewood Rd, please pay attention to the One Way Drive sign. Our GPS took us the wrong way. " Maybe add this message to your email to guests. Jeff and Kathleen are wonderful hosts.
