Great Weekend

Great place to stay. A little difficult finding the location, but any anxiety goes away once you reach the destination. You should book it as you see and feel it. You won't be disappointed. Host graciously stocked up our stay with some very nice amenities which was a first-class touch to go along with the first-class location.

Our stay could not have been more perfect.We felt David spoiled us with amenities that went beyond a 5 Star Hotel. What a treat it was to walk into such a beautiful space and have wine , amazing snacks and a refrigerator stocked with all that one would need. Our club will definitely return. Thank you for this relaxing retreat. Ps yo must eat at the Highlands Tavern below. The chef and owner are amazing. The food is awesome. Enjoy

10 Stars! Amazing!

David’s home is in the center of town and is walkable to all the shops and restaurants. Check in was easy, the place was pristine and he set us up with everything you could want including wine, beer, snacks, fruit and breakfast items! This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at!! Hands down! Beautiful apartment, great owner/communicator and great location.

I'm ready to go again!!

I cannot say enough about how great this property is and how well appointed the amenities are in this gorgeous home away from home! The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. The property is clean and neat. Having basic groceries, spices and appliances is definitely ramped up here to a level of luxury that you have to see to believe. We were provided with foods and beverages that made our stay so easy and so tasty. The location is right in the heart of downtown and steps away from excellent dining and shopping. I'm already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you!

Highlands visit

What a great property! This property was right in the heart of downtown Highlands. We were above the Highland Tavern, which at first I was worried about noise, but the insulation blocked most of the noise and the bathroom fan covered up the rest. Plus, the tavern shuts down early so it was a non-issue. We had rain showers and this property was so convenient because we could pop in and out to avoid the showers. The place was clean and perfect layout. The host was very nice and had snacks and drinks available in fridge for us for the weekend. We could not have asked for anything more and hope to return soon.

Another wonderful stay

We absolutely adore this property and its owner, David, and have stayed here so many times over the years that we’ve truly lost count. The location, the property itself, and its gracious and hospitable owner truly make this rental property the very best we’ve ever experienced on VRBO (or through other service). It’s become a very special place for our family and I know it will be the same for yours.

Exceptional property in a perfect location. The "welcome package" of wine, beer, soda, water, snacks, chocolates and other basic food items (coffee, cereal, milk, etc.) provided a first-class touch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Perfection for Birthday/New Year getaway

If you are looking for a well-appointed, luxury stay in the heart of Highlands, this is your place. David was amazingly responsive, the two-bedroom condo was roomy but warm and welcoming, and the location was perfection. The bonus was getting to know the owner of the Highlands Tarven below. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back.
